Does anyone know what seats will swap into 95-98 legacy's? I lie these wrx wagon seats http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5563/cimg5032.jpg (looking for all black)

thank you very much

does anyone have pics? how does it bolt up? quick n painless?

thats how i feel.. im buying a gl tomorrow.......... idk what mods are going on it

it seems that putting a gl body on a yota frame would be the easiest route BUT then its only half subaru.. w/e id really like to make my own frame and mount some lockable axles.. a tough 3 link is looking more like the way to go. if anyone has pics of ideas or projects they have done please post thanks for the input and pic brian

make me an adapter plate?

thanks i know its a strong 3 link i posted that more for the steering setup.

IMO welding is way easier then retrowiring I plan on an ej swap but it will push the finnish time way back. i just want to lift a gl with 4 linked yota axles. If i play my cards right i can get the lift and axles for the same price as scotts 6" lift. i know they are capable ive had 4 lifted subarus but none of them will compare to what i have planned (if all goes well) this is a good reference. i want to do a triangulated 4 link not this one.. http://www.latenitecustoms.com/toyota_build_pics.htm yea i know its not a subaru but its my reference as to 'How?"

awesome input. Ill be looking for a donor toyota soon my wifes dad has a 'spare' one sittin around... As for the 4 link kit i know its not going to be a bolt in but having all the parts will benefit me more then trying to make one from scrap. I should really state everything i have planned so i can move around those issues. ie: Sub frame... i know the 4 link would rip right out of the Subaru's body, Yes i do plan to build sub frame for the 4 link and for the shock mounts i have an additional idea/mod for those too i can get drive lines matched that not a problem its getting the right width i dont have specs for width i figured a sami or yota would be the best bet. Jeep popped up first, i figured they would be wide and id have to get 4-5" flares to save me from the cops.. If i can get a complete Toyota and inter-grade its steering box and axle setup with a modded Nissan t case i should be able to avoid an ej swap (only for awhile since the suspension will be my focus). My thoughts are as follows: 86-89 GL Wagon Toyota straight axles Nissan T Case Toyota steering box Custom sub frame 4 Link suspension 33's are pushing it for me ill post links to the items im looking at

Whats your 2 cents? Its goes like this: Subaru engine transmission and body. triangulated 4 link kit (front and rear) Axles? T Case? IF you were to put Straight axles under a GL wagon what truck would be your doner? or would you miss match? (t case also) If you wouldn't ever do this or dont have anything useful to say please dont post.

The ADM (Australian domestic market) Foresters come with a 5 mt D/R Some EDM suby's do too. ive been trying to get ahold of one myself

ill help get ya goin before then:)

( after? )

I have a wagon coming by tomorrow morning:banana: thanks Abe

Perfect! (would you happen to know a 99-2000 foresters spline count (hubs) ) correct me if im wrong ( i dont know rx's at all ) but arnt their transmissions d/r? is it Hi Lo AWD?

Can anyone tell me the stroke measurement that the Hi Lo arm travels? I know the Arm pulls back and fourth as the operator pulls the Hi Lo lever up and down. I dont have a d/r local and need that travel 1st pull (4x4 Hi) measures "?" 2nd pull (4x4 Lo) measures "?" Measuring origin is "?" (the point the travel is being measured from) Or if someone local has a d/r sittin around or in their wagon and would let me take some quick measurements id greatly appreciate it

difference between 5 mt d/r and rear diff out of 87-89 wagons and the rx 5 mt d/r and rear diff

ill make my own i dont mind draining it i just dont like reaching under the tank. thanks for the input i probably would have tried HF too

HTi (hes on the board here in the vendor section) i had him add the little stinger and receiver. i hit a tree going 15-20mph with passenger side. Didn't do a damn thing to it its setup for a winch

i have a few posts with pics of my shop already i suppose this thread would be best for them and as for the above plans the only car i see my self gettin with the income i have is a local 2000 forester for $1200. A 5mt and 4-6" lift will be going on IF i get it

IF you ever plan on selling this please do let me know ill sign up for EOD just to get it:eek: But really I LOVE your RX, it is absolutely astonishing (GD is probably thinking 'this kid is mental' :lol:" I would rather have this RX then ANY wrx or sti Awesome work!

crack it open and have a look. if your not comfortable taking it apart then don't but at least look and familiarize with it and try n see what does what when its "working" youll be able to see worn or broken parts easily. For someone that are interested in learning a transmission i recommend buying a used one putting that in then download the rebuild pdf buy a rebuild kit off of ebay and GO, check every step 2-4 times. For someone that just wants their car to roll again go buy a $200 transmission REGARDLESS of the awd application. I bet you can buy the whole lot for the awd swap for less then it would cost to rebuild your transmission half the time too.
