Arms and legs I've got!!! See if you can find any info for me about this application. I really see this as the only option I have. An 04 STi rack would be ideal, but would require too much fabrication to other parts to make it worth my while. As long as the unit is around 6-8" in length and under 4" diameter, I beleive I can get it to fit nicely in my wagon. On a side note, subaru should have made all EA81Ts RWD!!!!

I say put the car up on stands, loosen all the suspension bolts and fudge in as much neg camber as you can. There really is NO factory adjustment points for camber on these cars. Its nice because you just throw your suspension on and drive, but you also get stupid tire wear. I have the problem about 50% beat on my EA81. I installed 2WD struts which have about an inch lower spring perch as compared to a 4WD strut and I now have ZERO DEGREES OF CAMBER, WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!! :banana: This would only work on a street only 'ru since lowering an offroader would do you no good.

I WANT THAT FAST STEERING FOR EMERGENCY/ADVANCED DRIVING TECHNIQUES!!! 4:1 is totally unacceptable in this day and age, especially for a car with sporting intentions such as my wagon. My other option is a 02-04 WRX/STi steering rack which would probably require at least some modification where a steering quickener in theory just be fitted in line with the steering shaft.

Not sure exactly where to post this, but after converting my T-Wag to RWD, it has become painfully obvious that my steering is SUPER slow. Like 4 turns lock to lock slow. After 5 min of research I can get a 1.5 ratio that will give me an S2000 like 2.666666 turns lock to lock. Basically I was wondering if anyone has installed a steering doubler/quickener on their 'ru and how much trouble it was to install.

You would need longer struts otherwise the taller springs will eat up all your droop travel.

I'd be happy to show you mine. I'll be putting another inch front and rear of my hatch in the coming weeks so if you'd like to see that drop me a line. Check out my pics.

1) Not hard to find in general. 2) Depends on the deal you come across. 3) Most likely not from a yard.

Hmmmm, good to know. I ended up installing them in the 4WD position just to get them in. On a side note, it looks like I'm winning my battle for negative camber!

Bump!

What would happen if you did install the strut tops in the 2WD position on a 4WD vehicle? It looks like it would increase your caster (Not a bad thing for me) but I'm not sure why Fuji would have spec'ed it differently. I'm installing my new struts right now and was debating which way to put them in.

You shouldn't have a rear diff plate with a PK lift. There are two spacers that drop the entire diff hanger down, those will be removed. You should have a lengthened steering shaft but your's might look factory. I can't imagine lifting a ru without one. As for the engine, when I was installing my lift I used an engine hoist to hold the engine in place while i dropped the crossmember. You could try something similar to remover the blocks.

Two for me as well!

I think I know what you mean, and yes it is normal.

Well, I was unable to make it down there this weekend, but its great to hear that the trans is still in there! I'll probably have a chance to grab those after finals.

Count my brother in for a complete Gen 1 wagon kit. We pretty much need to replace all the rubber on the car...

I think I'll swing by there tomorrow and check. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

In addition to being MUCH stronger and lighter than old mags.

Any word on that RX tranny?

I'm planning to get there as early as possible. Not sure when that is yet, but I'll probably be leading an Eastside caravan whenever we do leave. I'd be interested in merging somewhere, but not until I get a day nailed down with my group.

I have yet to actually buy a set myself for my car, but one of the generic EA81 gasket sets that I bought off ebay had the EA81T specific gaskets included. You can still get the turbo gaskets from the dealer.

I would love to be there, but I'm not done with finals until the 15th.

How did the trans look while you were under there? Think it would still be in the car?

I don't think it did. Also, wasn't the difference in wagon wheel spoke profile attributed to the EA82 using a different caliper than the EA81 or am I wrong?

Ive heard that late model evo injectors will fit.

Sweet!! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!! Now I just need to get EA82 springs to fit on my EA81, hahaha!
