LUVMYBRAT Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Okay well its a weird title to a thread I know but help me out here. I have been aquiring, finding, making, pieces and parts to build a project vehicle. What kind of project? well I'm not sure yet, I have several options? and lots of things to put on it. Heres what pieces I have: EJ 2.2 from mid 90's impreza awd(complete car) 5spd d/r from GL10 Turbo sedan 3.7 3.7 LSD from RX Sedan Rear disk pieces from EA82T 3" lift for EA81 using EA82 rear coil overs 14" six lug wagon style wheels with 185/R14 coopers Car options: All EA81 STYLE 82 Wagon (d/r 4wd with bad solid lifter motor) Got this Wagon from Scoobywagon. Nice shape with one dented door 84 4WD Turbo Coupe(bad head gaskets or motor, bad digi dash, with A/T) Just aquired this one! super shape 85 Brat ( bad motor, tranny having issues) The original that got me on this board. Custom made roll bar with lights, jump seats with custom sewn seat covers, push bar with lights, and 2.25" catless exhaust with turbo muffler Sooo.... What kind of puzzle should I put together?

Caboobaroo Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 EJ22 + turbo 5-speed + LSD into the Brat lay the turbo Brat to rest and drop the drivetrain into the new turbo coupe rebuilt EA81 from CCR into the wagon and lift it Whatcha think? Oh and that reducer worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I say, use the wagon (a vehicle you can sleep in!) What's wrong with the motors? If you could get a good running EA81 into the brat, it would be a good backup vehicle/parts runner. Lots of stuff to sell to help fund your project by the looks of it.....

LUVMYBRAT Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 well I agree that knocking the T-Brat in the head to save the T-Coupe is a worthy cause. Soon to have pics of all then you'll see why the coupe deserves a trans plant. I have another parts wagon and was thinkin since its a solid lifter that putting the Wagon back together with another solid lifter motor would be easiest. So I guess I'm leanin towards the Brat. I was lookin for some one to tell me what to do cause I don't like makin decisions(make too many at my job:horse: ). I guess my brain tells me I need to put ALL the goodies on the same car too... never thought to much of spreading the wealth amongst the family.

Caboobaroo Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 yeah you gotta share the wealth with the rest of the cars Bill. Cause the wagon and the t-coupe might feel not worthy enough for any goodies if they ALL go into the cherry Brat;) Besides, we can do the EJ swap here:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUVMYBRAT Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 speaking of that swap, theres still one piece I'm missing. The adapter plate. I've read a few threads that say some would've rather had a plate made of steel than aluminum, why is that? Aluminum is way easier to cut than steel, lighter ect.. Is it the whole soft metal issue with threading things into and through it? And whats the story with the clutch mod that has to be done?
