  1. I aggree that is a very nice ej im hoping to lift my wagon just a little, but of course thats what i said about the last subaru i lifted now its 8 inches higher lol.
  2. what i did as far as struts was i came down the amount of lift i wanted, re drilled the body for the upper strut bolts and then on inside of trunk i installed a peice of angle 1/4 in thich that sets flat on the trunk floor and the strut bolts go through it. the bolts are long enough that i installed spacers to hold strut away from the body so spring would not rub. I have drove this car like this for over 5k miles with no problems and during this time ive earned the nick name "baja Brad" for the way i drive off road. (jumped it lots of times cause i had no low range and 27 inch tires)
  3. Nice Sedan dont be intimadated by the legacys the ej22 is great i will never go back to the ea style more room and everything. And i have noticed something about the legs how often(i know you havent noticed this yet) do you see a legacy with the inside little things like windows and options that dont work? I am a Huge fan of the ej cars now. This is all coming from a guy that swore by the ea81s for years and said id never own a legacy, now i have 2 legacys and an ea82 sedan powered by an ej. Ask any questions you want anytime and we will all try to help thats what we all are here for! Just my 2cents
  4. Looks Great! I have the same happen to me and my sedan lol esp now with the 8 inch lift had people run off the road looking, its great, they still ask what it is and what type of jeep frame its on keep up the nice work!
  5. sort-of the front bumper un bolts from the body and the front x\member the x member unbolts from the radius rod braket the center tie bars can be unbolted from front and rear so yeah i guess you could say it is bolted together but not eaisly. update.. havent got to work on the roo much due to the weather and the fact i pinched a nerve in my back i think. starting to feel better, so soon will hope to get her finished.
  6. yeah i cant wait... it has the datsun t case ej 22 5 speed with (soon lsd) 4:11 front/rear
  7. i cant keep it to myself any longer here is the link http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj50/subaruloverbrad/subaru%20sedan/ not ready to hit the road yet but close
  8. my hitch is a custom 2"reciever and the heavest thing i have pulled with it is an 1992 legacy. That was when it had the 4"lift and ea82 single range 5 speed With 31x10.50 tires. I didnt get over 55 on the interstate and pulled it about 100 miles non-stop. had no problems other than sway.
  9. id have to second that notion of the toe in get the allignment checked. Mine lifted 4" wears about normal
  10. SHELL: 1992 subaru sedan ENGINE: 1991 EJ22 Transmission: Hybird, EJ Front case halves, ea82 internals and tailshaft TRANSFER CASE:1983 Datsun HI LO DIFFS: Front 4:11 open REAR 4:11 open (soon to be lsd) WHEELS&TIRES:31.1050 mt with toyota alu wheels LIFT KIT: 8" custom homemade with tie bars
  11. the ej brat im refering to is the one or i should say was in johnsoncity. I helped my friend build it, man was it fast and strong... he sold it to his cousin in kingsport who somehow busted the transmission case......think he as hauling a bed full of gravel..anyway, he just removed the ej to put back the ea81 engine which he deems as the best engine ever made by subaru.so yes there was an rust free ea81 brat with high top camperwith the ej22 for a while close to us.
  12. electrial......as for car running i took the donor car apart and cut and removed the wires that was not used for the engine to run, left engine in car and when i wasto mor critical things i would start the car after every wire i cut time cosuming yes but worth it
  13. Yeah that was a jeep . yes i did the engine conversion. very good swap more power and tourqeand in my opinion more reliable. i am still runing a factory driveshaft,axles and exhaust. my hybird transmission that i built made it so simple. had a turbo sedan running 16 lbs once and my friends ej brat could have ate my sedan like it was sitting still. my favorite engine 4 about the last 6 years was the ea81 now since this swap ill never have another ea series engine again (at least no longer than what it takes to get it home to pull it out lol) just my opinion not trying to make anyone mad.
  14. heres my specs as of when that pic was taken.... 215/75/15 mt tires (27") 6 lug off of a toyota i think 4 inch home built lift ej 22 engine ej part time 4wd transmission hybird single range nissan sunvisor car is currently being updated:) lol new pics to come soon......with update oh yeah she is a 92 pushbutton, 256k when cable broke last year.
  15. with a little work...i dont think much work but some would probly, the full time ej 5 speed can be converted to single range part time system... that is what is in my subaru .....
  16. i have a 1991 subaru sedan not a legacy...but i have a ej2.2 engine and ej single range box in it with ea 82 gearset and tailshaft so i have part time 4wd.... here is what im asking i think they made a dual range case for the ej if so how would i get it here in VA, all i want is the front 2 halves i think...anyone have any pisc?
  17. accutally thats another cool part, i drove mine from abingdon to harln ky wheeled all day no problemseven went 3 passesthrough the mud drags and drove home on one tank of gas...lol...yeah most were trailered......i went almost everywhere the club went and i didnt even have low range..(thats how i now have the nick name "Baja Brad" lol)
  18. been offline for a while but now im back, here is a pic of my latest build well i would but cant remember how to post it..lol so here is a link and feel free if anyone wants to put it on here so everyone can see it easier. http://www.4wheelingcentral.com/index.php?set_albumName=album144&id=abp&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php
  19. what did you do for the rear? yes i want to keep stockheight
  20. I want to shange over my ea81 hatch to 5 lug pattern....what parts do i need from what cars? any help would be great
  21. i dont just build custom roos, i build other ones....was just wondering. va inpections suck.. i was rejected once because of improper equipment.... i had no carpet in my car, another time for one tire being 175/65 13 and the other 3 were 175/75 13.(i think that was the sizes, really didnt look that much different) but no emmision tests yet
  22. trying to do an assesment of how many fans are in Colorado and what if any titling laws/ lift laws there are....... thanks
