EJ up-pipe clears a EA82T crossmember (got this in my RX). I'm pretty sure the EA81T crossmember will also work, as a member here was installing a EJ22T into a coupe at one time and had no issues.

Did you install the clutch disc correctly? I think the long shank goes towards the trans.

Yeah, we had to stop on the side of Hwy97 and I crawled under the Brat with a scewdriver. I think I chipped off at least 15lbs of that stuff. Lots of fun that was!

Oh gawd.....he would have made you take it a car wash and pressure wash it first $5 barely put a dent in the mud on my Brat. It got the stuff on the outside of the wheels, but not the inside :-\

I think I went above and beyond repping old school this time :-p It was a great time, glad you were there Brian to control the mob Now, about early Sun morning at our camp..............

I particularly dont give a rats rump roast when its a car in the PAP. I bet you would (and have) do the same thing if my situation presented itself.

Have you ever pulled the steering wheel off a EA82? I've tried more than once in a wrecking yard, even used a puller once. It bent the puller! I even beat on the end of the shaft with a hammer.....no dice. I just pulled my RX wheel off and it was a beotch, even with the puller. A EA81 comes off easy compared to a EA82.

I'm still waiting for Russ's gf to post up pics. I gave several people rides in the mudpit riding in the back of the Brat.

Yup, thats exactly what it looks like under my Brat

Vids! Scoobyclimbs, blowing a front axle Woody doing his best Dont remember who's red Brat this is Somebodys Hatch getting pushed away after breaking a axle. Waiting for more to upload.....

I would like to thank the organizers for putting on another great show, we all had a great time. I have no complaints, even the catering wasnt a problem (I brought my own food). I could have used another day actually, cause I missed seeing a lot of cars and people. There was a great showing of lifted rigs this year, glad I brought my Hatch. I didnt take the Hatch into the mudpit because I only had parts for one car. If something broke on the Brat and Hatch, I would be in trouble. This is only the first coat of mud on my wheels, I went out again later Sat. Would like to say thanks to Danbob and Monstaru for letting me heave people in the jumpseats, they thoroughly enjoyed the rides (pics later of that). It took $5 at the car was and another 1/2hr in camp to clean the mud out of the pug alloys. THEN another 20min on the side of the road to get the rest off the inside of the rims :-\ Part of the Old School section, another good turnout this year. Russ and Larry won their classes (by default) :-p And I won Best Gen 3. I did actually break something on the Hatch, but it was on the way home. I was coming down I-90 and just hit North Bend when the u-joint let go (60mph). It shook the whole car and I was all over my lane, I thought I blew a tire. I limped it to the next exit and removed the front shaft and was back on the road in no time. All my PB pics are here... http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll95/Turbone/Car%20Meets%20and%20Shows/WCSS12/ I'll have some vid up in a little bit.

Did you set to TDC when you were installing the belts? Thats not the way you do it. There are 3 marks on the flywheel that you need to line up to start. None of this should mean you need to pull the engine out tho, its easy to fix the belts with the engine in. Removing the radiator helps. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50768

Tent, car, sleeping bag or blanket, I think its all the same.

Brilliant idea!

You've been saying this for years. Give up moose hunting for one year and get down here. I want some salmon and crab :-p Nope, just a mudpit this year.

^^^This A lot of my swap was done this way (Thanks Scott) I knew I was going to do the swap before my current engine died on me. I believe we warned you ahead of time, so you could have had the head start you needed.

Starting this thread because we have some north enders posting plans for the south end folks. Moving relevant posts here.

I think he's going to hook up with Austin up north.

What day? Theres a convoy headed up Fri morning. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=114552

Great, thanks for clearing that up.

I have a problem with that. If I bring 3 cars, but 2 of us will be in one tent, do I still need to pay for 3?

I should have more info after the 4th. I cant give any more details than that.
