Should be a fun party. What else did you say? My eyes only read this much.

Looks great man. One ? is the air box hooked down?

Did you try installing the 2.2 ECU to the 1.8 wiring and adding the couple wires for the knock sensor? Or are the 1.8 ecu plugs completely different?

Pull the glovebox and then pull the blower motor. Make sure it isnt full of it too.

Why are you messing with any of the wiring? The 1.8 stuff bolts right onto the 2.2 motor. The only thing you might have to deal with is an EGR valve and thats just a matter of drilling and tapping the head to accept the pipe.

Box under seat is the ABS. Id use the ej22 relays myself but it could be done.

Those are for the charcoal canister. Go back to the yard and buy the canister. I have a feeling you will get away with the EGR not being there.

"rent" from autozone a cooling system pressure tester.

Ive got a 97 Outback and I cant find mine either.

Which cover is broken? There are 3 on the front of the engine and two that they attach to behind the timing belts and gears/idlers they turn with.

You'd have to pull the trans. Youre right its a nylon gear in the ring gear section of the differential.

Look on the back of your remote for directons.

The outback would be pretty easy. Just google Tein or similar companies.

Excellent motor especially for rallycross.

The big ground wire above the starter would be a good start.

Sorry I should have clarified. Broken part had nothing to do with Subaru quality just somebody had to have hit something in the road to break the end link mount off.

Do a search I have to have posted it in the past.

Agreed, its tempered and actually pretty strong. I just PACK a ton of peanuts in and send it out. Fragile stickers wouldnt hurt either.

None made in the past few days I have been replacing the rear crossmember on our new Baja.

I am sure they do too. I saw one yesterday (corvair) and wondered how it would work. Add a heater core while youre at it.

All of the above plus there is not enough evidence to point to the SOHC 2.5's having better track records with head gaskets.

They fail real often. Id get a new one.

The gear I am having trouble with is always a problem. Got a great press its just a matter of heating it up, cooling it right, repeat.

Doesnt mean the OEM gaskets are bad though. Alot of them still running around on original gaskets.

Neither "company" is doing this as his full time job and demand is remarkably high for the product. Make a choice which one you want and then dedicate your efforts to being patient with them to contact you back. I would expect having to wait a week for a reply from either one at times. SJR would probably be faster to reply back to a PM here and Ozified probably an email.
