Hey guys, a while ago i decided to go and buy a donor car (2004 impreza) i am going to be using quite a few components from it including the gearbox does anyone know the easiest and best option to mount the gearbox up?

Ill wait till something better comes up then, probably should buy more necessary parts first anyway

I need a quick responce on these rims, would these be what i need i just want ti make sure before i go and buy them http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/winston-hills/wheels-tyres-rims/subaru-16-5x100-wheels/1125753464

dont worry bennie, this issue has already been sussed out, when i bought the box the seller included everything i would need to modify the CV's to fit, and i have friends in auto-motives who know how to preform the modification. all is well however i dont know if the clutch on an ea82t is different from a standard ea82, would an ea82 clutch kit work or only an ea82t clutch kit? as for the mounts would just using the original mounts work? this is the preferred option so i dont have to go and buy new mounts

i already have a ea82 gearbox from an mpfi L series and while i might need an adapter plate i wont have to worry about modifying the drive shaft. and apart from that i may as well use what i have. he doesnt have the struts anymore sadly, what year and model struts would work well? it seems there are mounts for auto and mounts for manual on the ej22, if my engine came from an auto but is being fitted with the ea82 manual 5spd gearbox what option would i go for , also do i need would i need the rear mount as well as the front 2? thanks again, Lewis

if i get a donor vehicle what model / year range should i be aiming for that would accommodate everything i might need? would parts from a 2000 Gen 3 Liberty Sedan work?http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/marsden/wrecking/subaru-gen-3-liberty-ej20-manual-for-wrecking-outback/1122494039 (found a very good deal for the rear trailing arm assemblies with the calipers, rotors, etc and The front hub assemblies with the knuckles, calipers, rotors, etc) = quick response would be extremely helpful so i dont miss out if they are what i need. also does anyone know where i might get a hold of the ea to ej adapter plate schematics, if i can find out the exact sizing and positioning it would be very possible to get one made at a factory i know the owner of. -thanks

i already have an engine / gearbox / custom front cv's so im just gonna have to keep gathering parts

so how much would the front ej struts cost (as cheap as possible), what model should the struts come from and how would i go about modding the LCA? -cheers

so you have $200 listed on the xt6 hubs, is that for each single hub or is that for all 4? also i will go for 7" width, what offset range should i be aiming for?

so how much lift would the 16" 45 profile wheels require?, and is there anything else other than the xt6 hubs required to make it work? and what should the width of the wheel be? also i took a bit of a gander at your forum page and you seem to think 5x114.3 would be better for the brumby, do you think this would be a better option for me? and what brakes would i have to get with the 16" 45 cheers!

if you are making a batch of these hubs, how much would you be willing to sell them for when available? and could you give me shout when they are? (very interested) also what brake options will the new hubs offer, and is there lifting of the vehicle required to fit the larger 15" 5x100 wheels? if so by what amount. (trying to achieve a more on-road sports ute look, like the image below of the style im aiming for, minus the massive front mounted inter cooler) http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/7829472159425683.jpg?0.2500580413835115

the plan of the brumby was always to convert the wheels to 5x100 reasons being there they are very common / easy wheels to get, and not to mention they look fantastic . however i have looked and looked how i can do this and cant find a thing! some people say its not even possible, but i know this is false because i have seen many custom brumbies with a 5x100 stud pattern. one option said was to get subaru vortex (also called xt6) hubs, these are so rare i dont think its a possible option, does anyone know where i could get adaptors or such that will work.

this could be a dumb question, but i have looked up for ages and cant find a thing on it. i dislike the way the front of the car is lower than the back so that it tilts downward. is there a way to lower the rear or raise the front so that the car is level.

http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php/catalog/engine-swap-parts/ea-to-ej-swap-kit-detail What about this? after this and a clutch kit would i be set to match the gearbox to the engine and rest of the car?

everything is going good, got the engine / gearbox / ecu and i know someone who is able to do a custom loom. but one huge issue ive encountered is the adaptor plate, does anyone know someone in australia that does them? also what should i do about the clutch - change it? leave it? Mod it? btw - the gearbox is a D/R 4x4 5spd off an ea82 MPFI, the CV's arent problem i have a friend who knows how to do that
