1st thing that came to my mind is shifting. Expecially if its a manual, trying to fabricate a lever mechanism would be near impossible if the shift linkages all came out of the bottom of the tranny. -Brian

Those are some old pictures. I remember seeing those pictures about 8 years ago when I 1st started getting into subarus. I'd like to see some current pix, expecially if he thinks he's gonna get 25k for that thing -Brian

Oh yeah... duh, 3.7 -Brian

The car has a Dual Range AWD Gearbox with locking center diff. ALso, the rear has a limited slip 3.9 That tranny and diff combo was only offered in the RX. -Brian

JB's buying lunch??? IM THERE!!! I wish I cant make it, but hopefully i can get some work done of my own. Have fun. -Brian

More info on that deck face mod... thats brilliant! -Brian

This is still very early... yes. I plan on taking i-5 from sacramento to weed, then i can hit 97 and meet you guys in k-falls. We'll have to come up with dates and times and everything as the time passes. -Brian

A 2WD Subaru that needs a clutch is worth, at most, $700. If your looking for a good subaru, keep an eye on Craigslist. Subies can be had real cheap in our area The '85 engine you pulled is completly different than the one in that '84. And is easier to pull. -Brian

$2200 is way too much for that car. Your looking at a $1200 car at most. I paid $1100 for my 1984 GL Wagon, 4wd basic options. That was at a local dealer who had it listed for $1400, which i thought was too high. And after taxes and dealer fees that $2200 is more like $2500, $2700, which can get you a good used Legacy or Impreza in the '91-96 range. Oh, and where in NorCal are you? Im in Sacramento. -Brian oh, and a clutch kit for that car will probably be under $130 after tax. Installing them on these old EA81's are a snap.

The laptop I am using can be plugged into any ole conventional projector, doesnt need to be digital. If we had a large TV, i could plug into that as well. -Brian

isnt Subaru West sponsoring the show? Maybe they can help us figure out how to use it legaly. -Brian

I just got a laptop that can be hooked to any projector rather easily and will play DVD or any other files. -Brian

I wont be able to make it anywhere this weekend. I should be wrapping up my motor and dropping it in Sunday. The weekend after next Im trying to get up there so me and Jibs can hit the moonrocks. -Brian

Oh, your in Australia. Well, have you figured out if you have low range yet? Its really not rocket science. -Brian

Yeah, hanging out is the best part. Ontop of camping with a couple hundred subarus. -Brian

Primary event is the show and shine, takes place on Saturday around noonish... then there's an awards event afterward where we'll have dinner. Plenty of raffles and stuff as well. Last year i spent $20 in raffle tickets and made out like a bandit. I sure hope this year there are as many cool prizes, i want a SPT barstool for my garage -Brian

There's a complete forum dedicated to Subie - VW Swaps. They call it the Vanagon forum. -Brian

Are you home now JB? -Brian

Have you ever looked at the back of your car?? Would say SUBARU GL or SUBARU DL on the plate. -Brian

If you wanna meet up with me in sacramento, that'd be cool. Not sure if Im gonna head up with the nevada crew, or fly solo. Last year, it was me and Jibs from Reno... we left a couple days early. This year, im hoping to have a few more from California... but so far, nobody in Sacramento is interested in going. -Brian

He's right Miles... 84 DL's and STD hatchbacks still had 4spd S/R. -Brian

He said fastest EA82T RX out there. -Brian

Even with 7.7 pistons you need premium gas. Im in the middle of building my EA82T using a N/A block. Hopefully, if all goes well, i will be dropping the motor back into my RX and i can let you know what kinda difference its made. -Brian

Yeah, your dash has a 4WD light and a Low light as well... lift it up and it should illuminate the 4WD light... lift it farther and the lo light will light up. Buuuuut... since its '84 chances are your car has Dual Range. Expecially if its a GL, there's a 99.9999999% chance it's high & low. -Brian

Mine was the lack of oil. Probably the high boost that blew a ring... then after the ring went the bearings then rod. -Brian
