yep.

Here are some images of some of my old subarus and some images that I've collected over the years:

Just a warning about the shifter. I'd install your drive line first before you start to modify your shifter. It will save you a ton of time.

I just welded the 2 mounts together. If I remember correctly I did cut up the EJ mount and just welded it to the EA mount.

That's basically what I did. Seams to work alright. I still need to clean it up a bit.

I saw a post on here some time ago with a guy that installed a Honda Goldwing motorcycle engine in his Subaru. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. Here are some great engine swap & modifications I've found over the years:

Are you going to build yours kind of like these: Link to another WRX BRAT Build here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=58869 Good luck on your build.

Sounds good. I do live close to Fred.

Ya, maybe we can have a fix it party.

Hey Mike I'm going to need you to come over and give me a hand fixing a few things on the BRAT if you don't mind. Let me know a good weekend that you're free. Then I'm ready for an exploration.

I'm Earl and I live in Portland Oregon. I've got a lifted BRAT and would love to join you on your trail finding adventures.

Sounds great:)

- I used a die grinder on the opening on the EA81 control arms. - 2002 WRX - Legacy knuckles

1. EA81 Control Arms (modified to fit the EJ ball Joints) 2. EJ Hubs 3. VW Struts 4. WRX rotors/calipers 5. EA81 Tie Rod Ends 6. 4.111 Legacy AWD Transmission 7. Shortened EJ Axles 8. EJ ball Joints I've probably got at least 6-7 different styles of subarus & a VW & Toyota parts built into this 1982 Hatch. It's amazing I can still remember the combination of them all.

So these will be the right length? could you change out the ends so that they are EJ on both sides? $120.00 each is a great price. I'll take 'em with an exchange. I'll let you know when I have the money together. Then I'll ship you a set of axles.

I used a legacy transmission. What I need is legacy ends on a EA81 shaft or shortened EJ axles. All I did is had a old EJ set cut and sleeved. Once I put in the bigger motor I'm going to need something stronger.

I've got it sort of solved:-\, but I'd like a nice solid set. How much?

Good luck with that AWD swap. It was much more of a challenge then I had originally thought, but way worth it. The shift linkage and drive line clearance is very tight so you'll have to get a bit creative when you fabricate that. I had to have custom axles and drive line built too. I tried just about every combination of axles to get it to work, but in the end I just had some EJ axels shortened. I went with 4.111 gears and my hatch springs off of the line with brute force. I hope to put a frankenmotor in this summer too. The EJ22 is fine and all, but I want more power without adding a turbo. I'd also like to move to a 4.44 gear set with a front LSD.

you can read the write up I did on my Hatch: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98829&page=7

not going to work.

you're welcome.

I had the same problem in my hatch forever ago. Take the 4wd lever stuff off, then crawl under the car and rotate the shaft coming out of the transmission 180 degrees then put everything back together. It sounds like the exact same thing and I'm pretty sure this will fix you problem.
