Turbone

I always pay up after awards are given

The OP has a right to do what ever he wants to do with his car. All of you that think its a shame, get over it. When I sold my first lifted hatch to a local he drove the snot out of it, then decided to go straight axle. I didnt *************** about it, it wasnt my car anymore. The job never got finished, he tried selling it but no one would buy it. It ended up going to the scrapper. Now THAT was a shame, but I still didnt *************** (too much). Around here the members prefer to see the actual build going on, then pics and info when its complete. Everything leading up to that is just talk. So I'm going to lock this thread. When Kody gets back and picks up his new ride, he can let us know by posting pics of the car (dont forget parts list).

I can vouch for Russ's work. He did my alignment after I did the 5 lug swap on my RX and it was spot on. He also fixed my rear alignment issue. If you want it done right, see Russ. Btw, I need a re-align after doing my coil overs.

GL's dont come with a EJ22, you must mean Legacy.

http://www.westcoastsubarushow.com/?page_id=830 Better get hopping. I usually start about this time (or earlier) getting my stuff ready. But I usually bring more than one car. And yes, there are awards. Yeah, showing off

Look for Renobs thread in this forum. He installed a EJ22 in his Brat. Cant recall what he's using for a trans, but he Rally X's his quite a bit. I have the stock trans in my RX with a EJ22T swap and the original trans grenaded after 3 weeks of running. The one I have in now is doing much better but eventually I plan on swapping the trans to a EJ. Its a lot more involved then keeping the stock trans. Finding the cross members, having a driveline made up etc.

I wanted something a little more stylish/sporty with more adjustments. I picked up a pair of Mitsubishi Eclipse (turbo) seats for $25 total. I have a pair of these seats (N/A) in my Brat and love them. BUT, as the EA81 and EA82 are quite different, the install was more complicated in the RX than Brat. A lot more cutting and welding to make the rails work and the seats to sit correctly. It took me 2+ days to fab everything, but it was worth it in the end.

Thats why I make it a point when at a wrecking yard to look in every black box for links. I probably have more than any dealer The black ones are harder to find tho, it seems like they only came in GL10's or turbo models. Heres the specs from the FSM.

As far as the lifter goes....the HLA needs MMO. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster needs Marvel Mystery Oil. It usually breaks up the gunk in the lifter and gets rid of the TOD (Tick O' Death). A short lesson on old school Subaru abbreviations.

Welcome to the USMB. While your doing all that work under the hood, you will definitely want to replace all the coolant hoses. Especially anything close or having to do with the turbo. Also any upgrades increasing boost will shorten the life of the engine, its not the greatest design from Subaru. There a few threads in the Retrofit and Old School forums that will explain a lot of this.

I'm posting a off site link because the pics posted were very old and were lost during some forum changes. http://subarujusty.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=engine&thread=3875&post=25650

How about Leavenworth? Lots of stuff to do and see there and Lake Wenatchee is a nice place to hang out.

Number 2, until you can source another one or rebuild the old one.

Some what recent, it was taken last fall I think. And this one was last weekend at a friends, his son just turned 1yrs old.

If everything is there, I would connect it properly. I know my old EA82T could have used one and the current EJ probably could also.

It will need to be made. Expect a good chance of it leaking because of the size.

Hey, mine lasted almost 3yrs before I purposely ended it I knew it wasnt going to last (bought from CCR after the owner retired) and I had all the parts for my swap. And it did run with the WRX guys, quite a few times. I had a STi owner that was following me on a run ask me what engine swap I had it in. The look on his face when I told him it was a just a 1.8 (slightly modded) = priceless OP, PM me if you want info. I also live fairly close and can meet up with you sometime.

Your welcome to stay at my campsite. I hope we dont have loud drunks in our area again like last year :-\ (not you Russ).

Seen it before, havent actually done it myself. ib*********saysgofigure

In between the front and rear seats on the hump.

Not much to do. My t-case lever comes up behind the center console and the handbrake works fine.

You might be better off lifting it a little and keeping it.
