Scott in Bellingham

I remove the nut , then smack the arm its bolted to not the ball joint threaded part, what this does is causes the tapered hole in the arm to flex a bit and the ball joint will fall out

never thought of a neon I happen to have a old set of those

Im in the process of putting legacy running gear under a ea82 turbo , on the front to extend the strut I have unbolted the 2 bottom strut bolts and and extending it in that area will add a extendo peice and 2 more bolts , all steel , this will give plenty of room with the 31" tires ,will share pics as it comes along

on the rims we did we didnt bevel the 2 extra holes just turned those 2 lug nuts over and used them like a normal nut

K we will be casting EA81 parts

I have been running my white car EA82 all year since January with a 3-1/2" lift at the strut and 2" lift at the engine which gives the axles and the lower control arm a increased angle by 1-1/2" ,it has the same axles in it that where in the car when I got it stock , I have had no issues with axle or tire wear and I have had this car extremly hard offroad without a axle failure . SJR

looks like I might get it back Rollie picked up a blue one and it looks like hes going to strip all the goodies off this one and I will get it back if thats the case I have a EJ22 in the shop that needs a home and I would like to develope a Nissan transfercase lift kit and this just may be the ginnie pig, I really like the white wheels on this paint skeem , this was taken the day I got my swampers and I was stoked

what kind of driving are you going to be doing? will this be a sandrail with subbie power? if its mainly a dune runner go with the legacy ej type parts if its a woods trail rig go with a trans that has the dual range ( Low Range) I think it would be cool to make a 4x4 rail out of a legacy , nice and light lots of power if your a metal fabficator anything goes

you could remove both rear axles and drive in 4x which would be front wheel drive

your thinkin to hard zzz zzz

hopefully a new T-case kit

well I decided against the Nissan Pickup stuff am going with Legacy axles and suspension , I have a wagon we will be pulling apart , been getting more excited about the build done more work on it in the last few weeks then I did all year, My final crawl ratio will be 154 CR :cool:

running the shorter lift as this was the first car to have it installed on and it ended up being my DD . the 6" lift has better geometry then the 3-1/2" as the 3 .5 has higher CV angles , with both lifts we have not had a failed CV yet , my next car Im building will have 8" lift with a T-case but will not be my DD SJR

I have a 91 Legacy with 14" rims wondering what wheels would fit from what years , did subaru make a 15" or 16" rim? in steel or alloy ? thanks

Im in the process of putting Legacy running gear under my 8" lifted t-case Turbo short wagon , anyone have any problems with legacy axles and such?

22 PSI gives me more clearance and I dont worry about air down / up and popping a tire off the rim, also , traction isnt a problem, lack of a low enuff gear is, this allows more spin wich helps my RPMs

in a few weeks were headin back to Walker Valley if you want to go along

how much for a good weber

Ive wondered that, the only EA82 axles Ive seen broke offroad is from over extending the angle ,

thanks Morgan good stuff :cool:

:banana: your welcome:-\ :banana:

true they are diagonal, front left and right rear are on one circuit etc.

I have a 87 2wd justy will the 4 wheeel drive setup bolt in

heres a link to some offfroad videos from some of our Walker Valley adventures:banana: http://www.loghomefamily.org/subaru/ hope you enjoy them , this year we have made it to walker 3 times and each time its been different, we will go again once the guys get on the Ball and finish up their car mods, thanks Rollie for shooting most of it

every week on Wednesday night we meet in Bellingham at Scotts place at 7:00 , if your interested stop by , at present Dylan and Mosiah still have their cars in the shop being worked on, Im still workin on my Shortened EA82 wagon , with the jeep transfercase , each week is different, come on out bring a project , looks like Rollie will be starting up a new build soon, so we need to clear out the shop:eek: SJR
