Hey bro, welcome to the forum! Where in Arizona are you located? I'm way down in the south-east corner in Sierra Vista. Dave

Really diggin' the gold enkeis! Nice Brat you got there!

It's in! all it needed was a few good tabs with a mallet.

Hey Subaru Fans! I'm in process of replacing the 5mt tranny in my moms '97 Outback, I noticed it leaking at the extension housing when I was filling it with oil. So, I looked up the procedure, and looked like all I need to do is remove the back plate. The center diff came out with it. Now the diff doesn't seem to be seating all the way in(I removed it from the shaft on the rear plate and installed it by itself)). The gear on the tail shaft hits the body of the diff. Do I need to persuade the diff with a mallet to seat it all the way? If this is clear as mud I'll post a pic later, but right now I'm off to school! thanks Dave

SUCCESS!!!! Got it out safe and sound. I couldn't get my spring compressors around the spring with the car on the ground, so I put it back on jack stands and put the jack under the ball joint for support. Then I disconnected the radius rod and tie rod from the knuckle but it still wouldn't drop far enough. So then I moved the jack to under the hub so I could disconnect the ball joint from the knuckle. That allowed the spring to decompress enough for me to get the spring compressors on the spring and be able to remove it from the car. Thanks for the words of wisdom and caution guys, it was a bit scary. Dave

It's all good guys, I'm stil alive :-) Haven't had a chance to work on it because of school. but will be tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Hey peeps, I've got an issue with my car, the passenger side front strut top retainer nut has backed off and now the only thing keeping the spring from going twang is the limit of the suspension. heres a pic: This was taken with the car on jackstands. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this out of the car without bad things happening? thanks Dave

Nice ride you got there Trusty, love the way EA82s look with the two-tone paint scheme

The ER27 in the XT6 is based on the 4 cyl. EA82 (basically the 4 cyl. with 2 more cylinders added) and the EA82 only has 1 exhaust port per head.

Have fun everyone, the AZ crew won't be making it this year

Welcome to the forums!

Congratulations!

Welcome to the forums!

Wow that thing is SICK! what motor you using?

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=59511 Totalled my SVX on Friday:dead:

Just a note, I don't know if its the same on the d/r RX tranny, but I swapped an s/r turbo ft4wd in my EA82 wagon(was d/r4wd) and that shifter is too long. It'll go in 1st and 3rd but not 5th. Currently running a 2wd XT shifter.

Had the same thing happen to me, but was running 2wd at the time. I was running rwd for awhile with that tranny, didn't have anuff power to be fun on pavement. 90hp SPFI. Was a BLAST on dirt for shure! Now I've got a FT/4WD with an EJ22.

So, whatever became of this?

Hey ivantruckman, what brand tires are those in the 2nd pic?

Me too please!!! hpcm_suby (at) yahoo.com

Awesome car man! What tranny are you using and what was done to it for RWD?

check your plug wires, make sure they are snug. if they is, check the rotor in the disty. if thats good, your disty might be going/went ka-boinky. my gl had the hick-ups once , turned out the screw that holds the rotor in place backed out and casued the rotor to wiggle around and the timing got all wacky. hope that made sense....:-\

your crazy. but in a good way:clap: btw, what engine is that?

22:1 1st gear 4-lo with 3.9 rear end have fun:headbang:
