short list ea-ej adapter plate EA82 redrilled flywheel ea82 clutch and p plate 93 Impreza FWD front axles custom mount for tranny longer driveshaft a complete EA82 Dual range trans with linkage 85-88

the wife and Ill be at walker tomorrow be in this

I have atubing bender so the cage is no problem

I just weld up the spiders and go wheelin, on my first wheeler I tried a dunebuggy cutter brakes like these right idea but needs more force then I could give by hand

the body on the gen1 EJ is only about 1" wider then the EA82

so you got time to burn on a offroader? Im in bellingham can help out at my shop I like choppin parts off cars with a sawZall and M serios about making a fiberglass kit to convert the old subarus into a road legal buggy , my choice would be the EA82 wagon or the gen1 legacy wagon just because they are so plentiful and cheep the EJ would need outback or forester struts

I think your right on using the EJ platform as theres more or them and they have the better engine, just need to remove a bunch of weight zzzzzzzzz

lets do it, if you make one I could make a one piece fiberglass nose that would be hood fenders and grill all hooked with clearence for tires, I would use a wagon and cut the whole back off up to the gas tank and we could make a one piece rear section out of fiberglass, I live just over the line we could do it in a weekend

got the coupe goin now to go wheelin , who wants to go?

I wont be there,just to lang badrive, but I may be at Walker Valley ORV park

you got a link to a map on how to get there? it could be a option for me , just a long drive

we are plannin on goin and hope to go wheelin with Zap at his place, probobly roll in friday with the popup trailer , this car with some mods and grafics just registerd looks like Im number #80

heres the cam # upper hose I got these at rileys you can see the # it also fits a 93-97 chrysler/dodge 3.3 v-6 concord and Intrepid lower hose lower hose fits a 91 BMW M3 lower , I trimmed 3" off the top end these hoses have 1 end smll for the rad and one end big for the EJ I ran the car today it goes nicely good combination regular hotrod , just have to get the mouse smell out they moved in since the car sat these last 4 months

heres one I had

have you done this?

weak point with the subaru is your rear axle setup the sidekick will have a stronger axle and you can buy a locker the ea81 is the weakest ea82 axles and stub shafts will break with a locker newer gen stuff is stronger

go with a EA82 body (85-88 will have the dual range) do a EJ swap and install Delta low torx cams 4" lift 27-30" tires redrilled chevy wheels

on all my wheelers with a ej22 ive used the old ea82 4x4 parts, only failure ive had was operate error, you learn to luge it or spin the tires. dont slip the clutch

it should work,

Delta Low Tork cams ,in the pic the top one is the stock one, delta regrinds the stock cam to give it a new profile, these ones give it more low speed power where you need it for offroad, I used no smoke thick oil for the assembly lube, I made that cam sprocket spanner wrench as the bolts wouldnt budge with my impact wrench, its almost done finish it up tomorow then hit the trails, the mice moved in and left nut shells in the bellhousing
