Yo'J

I wonder what kind of mileage and hp you could tune out of a ea81 hydro motor, say megasquirt or whatever? I know there is a turbo motor. Its a light ride afterall.

Has High Guys built a 2000+ lift kit yet? I believe they have 99' down pat.

Dink!

Nice ride boss! Welcome! I love that body style!

Its the slow season here. Hi, and drive safe!

Don't they go through those seals fast though? I thought that was the flaw of the rotary.

That summit one is what I was thinking about making with an air return port and an extended pickup. I'll be looking at the parts today, they should be in. I'll be using the stock pump to fill it and the efi pump after it. Just like in that handy diagram. Thanks!

There has to be the magic number! The sacred triangle! Whatever arc! Ya'll know better than me how to find it!

You could cut lexan on your lathe no oil and just caulk it in. Should cut just fine maybe speed it up a bit. I make jigs on my router, same principal. Stuff glues real well with the right glue, fish tank quality for the corners. I buy scrap per pound for jigs at the plastic shops, you might do better up there.

I wouldn't call it a great difference, 4 nuts and bolts, 4 spot welds to drill out and 4 holes for 4 gromets, thats all on the crossmsmber that is, but, the power steering rack itself is the pain to find and the p/s steering u-joint. They usually come on a p/s crossmember.

I figured, on my brat, being a carbed chassis, it was of substantial need. I guess I don't want to not dd it or to really worry or wonder. P.S. look at the first one. Doesn't it look like a big truck fuel filter modified?

Anyone used this one? http://bcbroncos.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=27_51_108&products_id=119 or this? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RCI-2010A?autofilter=1&part=RCI-2010A&N=700+400379+4294920243+4294903853+115&autoview=sku Are there better ones? Other ones?

McMaster carr has them but I don't know the source. I think they were $11 to $14 and they ship out the same day. If you don't specify shipping, sometimes they just fly them.

Well, AHEM, :lol:I have about 5/16" of room between my rear strut (loyale wagon strut) and tire and I have rubbing from my 235/70r14 on my 2" lifted ea81 wagon. So I say the tire flexes at the top. Not enough to leave a mark on the tire thankfully, just enough to shine the spring.

Another thing to remember is that the three, starter, battery and alternator usually end up dying around the same time, like with in a year. They are the electrical system for the most part, so when one is going they wear out the rest.

I'd have my car painted by now if I had a spot too. I was thinking of renting one. Dont forget the cans of "primer sealer" that keep the rust away. Works like a champ for ongoing restore projects. I'm gonna try the rodda mistints as they have a type of alkyd equipment enamel that comes in a few colors and only gloss I believe. I got three colors for $5 a can out of the local stores from the mistint stack. They say it should be sprayed on the can.

Don't forget that you can rewire your lights to get full power off the battery with a relay and that will cut down on your power loss as the stock wires get old and run all the way to the dash and back losing power the whole way.

The tank can come from any similar subaru with the same body style (usually 81to 84) as long as its isnt a 2wd tank going in a 4wd as the tank has a indentation for the rear diff. Where are you?

Definitely use hypoid oil, subaru uses hypoid gears.

Looks like you had fun! Sorry to see that rock! Insurance should pick that up, maybe his too if you got it. They would I believe here. Thanks for sharing.

I got a two inch lift on my ea81 with 235s and I really don't think you need to cut that much. I'm running 14s but still, if you measure the amount of guesstimated travel and follow the compression travel of the tire you can work up a template like a pencil on a string to mark your cut and be 95% done by the time you find a monkey with a steady hand to cut. You will know for sure where your tire will end up on full compression and what tires you can get away with with no cutting. Even a banana can do a jig! (sometimes?)

If you run mods like that I hope you carry an extra, extra fire extinguisher:eek:! Nice pic of that! I can suggest my manicurist if you like?

Might even have an LSD. If its cheap enough, that would pay for the whole thing( well, make it more appealing or worthwhile anyway:grin:). Nice!

Yeah boy! Thats the stuff I like to see! Nice rides and welcome to the board!

Hi Ya, The wagons are fairly easy to come across for free or cheap and the hatches are a little more rare, they have mostly been scrapped or bombed through the woods. So good luck, I'm sure you can find a clean one. Whatcha gonna do? I've seen your work, what are we gonna drool over next?
