Turbone

Nope. The only thing I've ever been high centered on is deep snow:rolleyes:

Perfectly. Mine is probably the closest to what your talking about. The only thing thats non subaru is the t-case. I still have the IFS and IRS, EA81 engine. It has some sub frame to it, this was for the t-case and engine support. My next project is going to be something entirely morphed. Theres only 2 others like it around, and they are both in WA State:-p

See you this weekend at the NASIOC mini meet at the Auburn Top Foods. If your going to be there, look for my Old School stuff. Should have at least 2 rigs there.

Oy, another local:-p Looks like Evans Creek almost?

Mmmm, it depends. Got lots of rust where your at? Then it might be tough. Another thing about the drums. You will probably have to back the pads off. There should be a bolt/pin on the backside that you turn that will back them off. Then you will be able to pull the drum off the backing plate. At $250 for replacing a stud, I would certainly do it myself:-p EDIT_-_-Just realized your in my neck of the woods. Want to come down to my place? If you bring the part I'll do it for a 6 pack of O'Douls.

The reason you are converting the LSD to 3.90 is because 5spd D/R trannies are 3.90.

Young friend of mine recently got a 91 Mitsubishi Galant VR4. 2.0 4G63 turbo, etc, yadayada. The car is in great shape but the engine has a rod knock. So we are in the process of getting a rebuilt. These suckers are not cheap. A stock rebuild from PINA is almost $3K:eek: Found one on CL thats local, for $4K:rolleyes: But its been built up. Offered $3500 cash, hope to know in a few days or less if we have a engine or not. Heres a few pics.

Hey, what are you doing up so early?:-p Dont know when the Reading meet is, but I guess I have a while to get the car ready.....for whatever meet I'm going to;)

Yes, take the drum off. You need to get the axle nut off to do this. These can be a challenge, for sure. The easiest way is to leave the tire on and dont jack it up. If you can get access to the nut, that is. Then get a good breaker bar and socket and break it loose. Not sure about the size for the socket, maybe a 32/33mm? Once you get it loose, then jack the car up and remove the tire. Pull the drum off and take a hammer and knock the stud out. Replace in the reverse order. If the wheel doesnt allow access to the nut while on, you obviously need to remove the tire. Once off with the car jacked up, you will need some way to hold the drum from turning. Not sure if the e-brake will hold it, but use it and put the tranny in 1st gear. Sometimes the nut comes loose easily, sometimes not (sorry for the pun:-p ) If you cant get the drum to keep from turning, your going to have to get inventive. I use a tire iron in between the studs and propped against the ground. Maybe others here will chip in with thier recommended tools for this.

Well, theres a couple of pro's and a couple of con's with that. I would def be traveling in stye and speed:grin: But my gas mileage would suck:-\ When I did the Dragon in my XT GL it got great mpg, but it was still almost a grand for fuel. I made a few side trips/detours:rolleyes: I cant imagine what it would cost for the SVX, even to PA:-p

I think you need a special invite:rolleyes: I also think it would be a mistake in whatever you came in.

Picked up the gasket today.....$2 and some change. Now if the rain would hold off long enough:rolleyes: Yeah, I dont know what the guy was thinking. He had it off to JB it, why not just get the part and replace it?

Please read the peoples posts. This is very important information. We need to know where in the US your friend is going. All you need is the gears for the 3.9 LSD and they can be swapped into your rear diff. We have a write up in the USRM on this board just for this.

This is what was wrong with it. Got the part yesterday, have to wait till Mon to get a gasket. This is the transfer clutch housing on the end of the 4EAT. Apparently the u-joints went TU and the shaft thrashed around busting the housing....in half. The PO actually tried to JB weld it back together and it obviously didnt work to well:rolleyes: Oh yeah, got the part at Tacoma PAP for $10.36.

A couple of questions. No clunking on bumps from the solid top mount? And can you post a pic of the car with these on?

He was just here yesterday, so he's around. I'm interested to hear if this was resolved also. I might be looking at a 4EAT swap also.

No matter where I go, there they are:rolleyes: TRAITOR:-\ And why would I be one if I still own 5 other 80's Soobs?

Yes, you can re-use the top mounts. Are stock EA82 shocks/springs that much from the salvage yards?

Thats why its in my driveway!

But not like you would expect. Of course not! That wouldnt be like me at all:rolleyes: 92 SVX..............with a tranny problem, of course:rolleyes: Other than the tranny issue, its in pretty good shape. Has high miles tho, about 238K. And the interior is very dirty. tranny needs the transfer clutch extention. It got broke/cracked when the front u-joints went out. So I know where theres a few Leg trannies in the Lynnwood PAP I cant scavenge one off of. Should cost me $26 to fix:-p Got the car for $700:headbang:

I think that kid from Black Diamond bought it. Glad you found a way to get it home Scott.

I already offered him grey. He wants blue:-p

Eh, cant do the 18th but I would love to try and make the 19th. Oh, wait. I'm not sure if that would void my warrenty or not:confused: Oh Emily.....?

I'm partial to black myself......as if you didnt know:rolleyes:

Thanks for coming. Hopefully your next trip will be more...mmm... uneventful:-p
