well for the time being i will be using my xt6 tranny w3.9vlsd rear end. reasons why... 1: buys me more time (one less thing to mod) to get it done so i can at least drive it for the time being 2: since people "talk the talk, but don't walk the walk" it will actually give solid proof over at xt6.net on what this tranny can handle. that is, if/when it breaks.

well I still kept the wagon i bulit in 99/00 , which by the way has been sitting in the garage for the 1.5 years. So, after dealing with the lame "mod me and i explode" 1.8t, it was time, time for an upgrade here's a little story(click for bigger pics), got up early and drove teh RX to north WA ended up in Puyallup to pick up this. super thanks to suberdave for letting me store it for a couple days!!! i owe you, and yes your wagon is fast!(well have to have a little head to head at wcss;) ) just a hair over 100k, smaked in the rear, burned up clutch. *edit* nevermind the rims( see page 2) and its getting stuffed into ...so that there's no more of this so ill keep this thread updated on the progress, and build up of the 2.2T. the fun should start right after i move into my new house.

to be honest with the time,money,wirring/stand-alone, power, etc for the 2.2t....IMHO i would build up your 2.7 and turbo it (big turbo of course:brow: )..use the aftermarket EMS for that, MMMmm 6cyl turbo:headbang:

ok with all the talk this past year of using accord springs on the rear, i have been wondering why no one has really mentioned..... using 2wd rear shock with 4wd(or other stiffer 2.5 id) spring! the only time i see mention of these rear differences, is when a few xt6,gl,etc people have converted from their awd air suspension (using 2wd parts) and get stuck with a low front and high rear. as you can cleary see the rear 2WD shock has a higher perch than the 4WD shock just thought I'd share. and yes i know why the 2wd shocks are different, you don't need to explain that

subaru_styles replied to starkiller's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Interior/console question
subaru_styles replied to WagonsOnly's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
DOH! i skipped your post rob, anyway the front 2 bolts at the change tray line up, for the screw(s) inside of the compartment do indeed bolt to a bracket that is part of the lap belts for the autoblets, its eaiser to just make a bracket out metal strapping. also on the high rise ther is a lower piece that wraps around the back of it at the floor, i could get it to fit due to the pressence of my seat buckles -

to break it down.. a brown(tan) high rise will be found in loyale with automatic seatbelts. the sifter trim needs to be pieced together to make a brown "RX" style console. you will need 1 brown d/r console/shifter trim, and 1 brown small square riser with diff lock swtich from a single range fulltime w/diflfock -
EA82 Seatbelt Compatibility?
subaru_styles replied to TROGDOR!'s topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i think there is a difference between the coupe & sedan/wagon. i do know there is some difference among the EA82 line with the front belt buckles..as there are 2 different widths of the metal "buckle" part. don't rember which ones were wider though. i do remember that using black belt recievers from an 85 rx sedan did not fit my buckles on the 89 coupe i had -
