Little bit narrower on the lower mounts.You will need to add spacers or just find one on a gen 2 which would be much easier.

Could it be possible that when doing the water pump you disconnected a ground and forgot to reattach it?

Those are pretty nice pictures.My favorite are the ones of hatch's in the lower left corner.

That 10mm external torx worked like a charm.I used it this morning and the axle stubs popped right off! Gotta love air rachets.

Agreed!I love the ea81 just for that reason.Also being the under dog and having most people think it looks like a puny little engine is pretty nice when you really know its potential. I really like the looks of that turbo brat!I would do the 5speed swap and definately keep the ea81t just for originality sake.I think it will have alot better power delivery/driveability after the manual swap and you do rear disks on it,as others just stated.

Dang thats too bad! I thought for sure he had it all figured out.Is it his cooling fan?I know he just put in a new radiator.

Thanks Mick!I thought it may have been a 10.That is a really nice looking socket.

I am currently in the process of swapping a 3.7 lsd over to 3.9.The only thing stopping me so far is the torx head inside of the axle stubs.I would like to see if anyone can let me know what size it takes?I know it is definately a torx socket,just a little far reach for the ones I have so I need to also find out who carries a long torx socket that will fit?Any help would be great at this point .Also I checked the USRM guide and couldn't find what I was looking for in that particular area.Thanks for the help.

I really like that car!Looks like your dog had fun helping you inspect the inside as well.

Ya sorry I couldn't make it.I wish I could but had to work.We definately need to set something up for the old skool' guys and gals around the area.Seems kinda hard for us all to congregate at once.Better luck next time.

That will be one nice car when you are done!It looks like you took the time to do a good job masking everything off.

Good job!Did you do the job by yourself?I know that would be kinda tough especially on the front of the car if it is only you doing the work.

That is just beautiful!You could start an old subie museum at the rate you are going with the awsome ones that you have found!Keep it up man!

Good job on that!I like it.

I am going for spfi for you Rick.May cost you just as much as getting a weber set up.

Pull the dip stick on the tranny and makes sure it has fluid.Probly is a bit low and will need to be topped off.After that I am sure it couldn't hurt to drain the old stuff and put in new.I am not sure what your car will take so have a look in the owners manual.Good luck

Well guess if all of that doesn't work,you could build a high comp ea82t or just go with the ej22t swap which would be so nice in that car!

Don't think you will need a lift to put in the A/T.I think the two pedal clusters are different so you will have to do a little switch er roo.If I think of something else I will post it.

There are a few people on here that have done the 5sp d/r swap.I believe you will need to build some mounting brackes,or I know that there is a guy on here who makes a kit to do it.Lots of good info on here for what you are trying to do.Good luck.

I am pretty sure that I will be at the meet.It is at the same spot right? See ya there.

Very nice.Sounds like you got some cool stuff on that one!I would love to see it.

Look into Light Force.They are made down Unda'.Alot of our friends from NZ and AU know how great they are.Adjustable beams and replaceable colored lenses.I am soon going to have some on my hatch.My brother that lives in Alaska is sending me some that he used to have on his mud runnin' truck.Tough as heck and you may like them better than Hella. http://www.Lightforce.com/

Could also be a difference in a first run ej25 and the later model ej25's also could depend on year of production I am sure.

Ya I too like redline better than Mobil 1.Just a little more expensive and harder to come by for me.

I agree that you should get it fixed right away.There may also be a possibility that it is over filled causing it to come out the vent.I would double check your level and then put on a new diff vent piece.Winters in Alaska can be hard on something like that even if you only do mostly city driving.
