By definition they are two different ideas. DOJ= Dual offset joint They are used primarily as inner joints on the Subaru. They will slide in and out as well as rotate. CVJ= Constant Velocity Joint These are a fixed(doesn't move laterally) joint that will only rotate.

What car are we dealing with here?

The GM conversion is a good alternative. But, you don't have to grind the case to fit. All that needs to be done is reverse the sleeve that fits in the rear ear of the XT6 alt. You'll also need to add a slightly larger connector for the battery power line. The pulleys are explained in the write up.

Here's a link to pics of how I did mine. Note the drivers side goes to the PCV and the passenger side goes to the air filter(just like Austin's). You do not want to run the vent hoses together. It needs to get air from one source and pull into the PCV from the other. All parts used for the linkage, spring mount and fuel line inlet were taken from the Hitachi. The location for the accellerator cable needs to be as straight as possible. If it isn't it will cause a groove in the casing and eventually break or stick. Bad thing in either case. Weber set up

Key word here is Impreza

Austin, that's a good start. Things you need to improve are: accellerator cable mounting and linkage. spring location. and fuel lines. I'll take some pics and explain then.

The difference in the wheels that you see may be the center. Some required a plastic washer to accomodate the center caps and some did not. Measure the centers to see if they are the same diameter. If they are not then all you need is the plastic that slips around the hole for the centercap. As for the rotor issue. If you change to vented rotors you'll need the calipers as well. They will provide better braking and are a bit easier to find these days.

Caleb is very much correct. Most likely they will replace a set of metrics. They are getting harder and harder to find as some of you know. Pug owners have deep pockets(they have too). Most of their parts are no longer produced and they are getting very used to paying for what they find.

Isn't there a hex shaped hole in the top of the strut. If there is you'll need to use an allen wrench in to hold the shaft still. You may have to take the strut out of the car if you can't get to it.

You see the link I posted for you?

Try these instead. 5 lug conversion

I always use Kendall LSD fluid. There are procedures listed in the FSM. I can look them up but it'll be a day or two. How many miles on the donor? Chances are that it is fine. It only takes about 20 minutes to install if the rear axles cooperate and come off without a fight. What are you putting it into?

I have an EA82 flywheel that was lightened to 17lbs. The weight was removed from the engine side of the flywheel. I can shoot you a pic or you can come check it out.

Sorry, should have been more specific. The '92 wagon didn't come in a LSi.

It is in good shape with zero rust. There are a few dings from doors and what not. No leather. Too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. And, I have enough projects thank you. It will remain an auto until it stops working. Then it may or may not become a manual. I have to admit that I like the ease of operation of the auto. It's nice to not shift all the time. The wagon didn't come in the LSi trim. Only the sedan. It did have the leather option though. Original owner didn't select it.

Other than the loss of power, lack of 4WD and having to modify the cross member it'll work. The motor in your '82 will go into the '86. As a matter of fact there are a couple of people who have done this. Why do you want to change the trans? By taking the trans from your '82 you will no longer have 4WD. You can keep the original trans in the '86. All you have to do is swap the flywheel from the '86 to the '82. Keep the clutch components with the appropriate flywheel. You will also have to do a small amount of grinding to the EA81 bellhousing to accomodate the flywheel from the EA82. BTW, our search function works well. It may help you find valuable info that has been discussed in the past. I searched for "EA81 to EA82 swap" Here are the results; search results And this one is more specific. A topic found in the results. Swap info

Brian, I was going to hand it to you personally but... send me an email with your address and I'll send it to you. Probably only take a day or two to get there. Ken

Well, it has the LSi options but is refered to as the LE Touring wagon. 1992 LE wagon. Bone stock'cept for the wheels.

Nissans/Datsuns, Capri's, Mustangs just about any small engined vehicle will have the chance of someone adding a Weber to it.

Hey Billy, you have mail. Let me know if you do or do not get it. Ken

I ground the feet for my hatch. Hatchback air deflectors are hard to find.

What usually happens is the bolts get set when the gasket is new. Then peope forget about them. Over time the gasket shrinks and the bolts are no longer tight. Vibrations and such cause them to loosen. It may be an indication that you should change those particular gaskets even.

I just filled my tank and with the new motor and such I'm getting 22 mpg. Now it will be better but I have been doing some hard driving checking things out. And have been spending alot of time into the secondaries.

OK, I dug through my brouchures and found that the 4WD's had Bridgestone SF radials in RWL. I can't tell what the white wall models were.

I just checked the warranty and the owners manual. I couldn't find anything specific to brand or model of tire. Might have to find an old timer at Subaru to get that type of info.
