    Probably will have to cut it while it's in place, and then figure out where it needs to be, and tack a piece in to test it, then remove to fully weld.

    I dropped my tranny 2.5" and have no issues at all. Enngages all gears perfect, no rubbing on anything.

    Did you remove the plate around where the shifters come through? The non dual range cars have a sheet metal plate that covers some of the hole in the floor. It just screw on. Make sure you have removed that, and the hole in the flor will be bigger and allow for full movement.

    Been quite a while since I updated this, and it has changed quite a bit. A few weeks ago, I installed BC coilovers, 05 Forester XT brakes, front and rear, and 18x7.5 RAYS G-Games wheels.

    185 80's will fit, but are hard to come by.

    What size are you looking for? I have used Winterforce, Wintermark radial HT's And a couple others

    I always used to use snow tires off road, just because of limited size options. The biggest issue with them is weak side walls. Catch them on sharp rocks, and they puncture easy.

    Although the EJ25D does have head gasket problems (so does any N/A 2.5, the newer ones are just in a different way), if they are replaced PROPERLY they shouldn't be an issue again. Many people don't check the heads for being warped, don't follow the torque procedure, or use head gaskets that don't hold up.

    Looks great!

    Awesome work

    KYB and Monroe, with standard height King springs. All ordered from Paul Eklund at Primitive Racing. Awesome guy to deal with. I love the suspension on this. Handles awesome, and still has a good ride. Got a bath today from my girlfriend!

    Thanks! It's an SOS fab 4" lift with different front strut lift to fix the camber.
  14. bratman18
    ^What he said. Like I said, you need them put on so that the top of the strut is pushed towards the center of the car. You had them put on so they were pushed out away from the car. You had them backwards and that was your problem. Install them the other way and your camber will be much better!

    You need to mount them so that the top of the strut assemble, tilts IN towards the center of the car.
  18. bratman18
    You mounted them between the coil and the strut?? They are supposed to be bolted to the top of the strut mount, and then is bolted into the car. And this can be done with very simple hand tools. They are definitely built to be put in only one way, and when installed that way, your camber should be pretty much dead on, or as close as it ever was before the lift.
  19. bratman18
    You should take pics of the lift blocks and we can tell you how they shohld have gone. Unless they weren't camber correct and they really did just drop everything straight down.

    I just bought one he had from a car he used it on. But you can get the stuff to do it from a car that came with that front end.
  21. bratman18
    Awesome. The body work reminds me a lot of my old BRAT. I'm jealous of your EJ swap!
  22. bratman18
    Both of those should be 4.44 and should swap just fine.
  23. bratman18
    The EA82 will not be a good power plant for boost, or to get any amount of power out of. An EJ swap would be better for that.
  24. bratman18
    It will all bolt up yes. But if you wanted to put FI into the 87 you'd have to deal with the wiring as well.
  25. bratman18
    The engines are both EA82 engines, but the 87 is carb'd and the 91 is fuel injected. The 5spd dual range was available from 85-89. in 1990 when it became a Loyale, they did not come with them anymore.
