Working out Bugs In the Breaks
Bugaru replied to NoStyle's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Dang that master cylinder looks like hell. That's awesome you got all of the brakes working again though, I'm glad the other components were still good. The low oil pressure may be a bad sending unit and or gauge. I don't remember anything about either of them but I do know oil pressure wasn't ever a problem. -
Ah ha! Great question and you're both pretty close. We will be using the rear output of a subaru transmission only. The tiny driveshaft will run back into a custom vertically oriented transfer case and the bottom driveline will run forward into a custom diff. The diff we have in mind has quick change gears and will be fitted with the 930 flanges. Unfortunately the cv angles would be too extreme to run off the trans side flanges with the engine as high and far forward as it is.

Thanks Timothy, yes certified welder here. I finally got around to building the motor mounts. The design allows for easy low profile engine removal; once the primary locking pins are removed the engine and transmission can just slide back with the use of a transmission jack. The oil pan needs to be trimmed a bit, but not much.

Right on Jesse do the mid-engine! What year is your baja? I am going to try and document the process thoroughly so stay tuned. Ha Ha, O.C.D. we have already discussed that very thing, but it may have to wait until the STI engine arrives. However, I am also building the cage in SolidWorks so I can “roll” it in there, several times if necessary.

LOL, batcage.... Glad you guys like it, more pics coming soon after the rear cage gets finished.

IRS Conversion Rear Suspension Mount

Hello again USMB. Have a look at the new build my roommate and I started over the summer. It’s a 1968 IRS conversion; it has FOA shocks with 14" rear travel, 12" front travel, 18" ground clearance and an EJ25 stuffed into the roll cage. We will also be using a “mild” turbo as well as a Subaru 5 speed transmission.

Hey Rick,
It's about to get back on the road again. I just gotta change out the busted stub axles. What have you been doing?
