'85 Hatch with changed engine
that's because most chain parts stores only have EA82 info for 85+ so any time I'm getting parts for a 85+ hatch or Brat, I use 82-84 for the year... depending on my mood

I have a PM in to PK asking about it. the logo on the website will b really easy to do if PK and I come to an agreement on them. since it's roughly a square logo, the biggest it could be is 6.2" x 6.2" unless I split it into 3 sections..... tire wear on the outside can be remedied...

rear coilover issue - 84 gl
where all do you have lift blocks in the rear then? what kind of mounting bracket do you have for the coil-overs? I did it like this on a stock brat, and didn't have any rubbing issues.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/USRM2/mick-usrm/Strutsinrear/strut.html you may just need to get wheel with less backspacing...

5 Speed Swap, EA81 Coupe
the coupe is the same wheel base as the Brats and wagons, so any one of theire shafts will work if you stick with a 4 speed. I don't think there is a difference by tranny in the "ea81" years.... (just by wheelbase.) if you go with the 5 speed, you'll either need the 2 piece driveline from the ea82 donor, or measure to get a custom one made....

trouble with EJ rear diffs on lifted rigs
the VLSD guts are what use the c-clips to hold the stubs in, so the problem stays with the guts. my buddy loves his VLSD for the mud running he does, but he's got a full 3" lift everywhere, so nothing more that stock axle extension...

H6 5spd d/r tranny swap
the're still gonna be bigger than 27's so I'd still go with the wagon tranny... how big a lift? I probably have the same street/offroad ratio, but it's still my offroader, and I would definitley take the better low range for off-roading.
-
H6 5spd d/r tranny swap
with that big of a tire, I'd definitely go with the wagon 5 speed D/R I spoke of earlier with the better low range.....
-
H6 5spd d/r tranny swap
what do you think your ratio of road driving to off-roading will be? what size tires will you be running?
