Reason i ask is becuase they make a DF clutch for the ea81 with the 8 7/8 flywheel but if no one has used one i guess ill have to give it a shot.

Has anyone on here installed the duel friction clutch on there car and what were the results?? was it worth the money?? Thanks Andy

Well i was up until 5 am on saturday tryin to get everything finished and i did.... so i went home to take a nap before i had to be at the bogs and racers have to be there by 7:30 so go home set the alarm and wake up and relize that its 8:30 so i jump out of bed call the guy that is running the bogs and he said its okay if i still come down. I head down there and the pit is 3 feet deep of just water and i thought that that was the finish line so i didnt get too worried but then they decided to run the bogs the opposite direction so now im freaking out and the 4 cylinder class is first to go so i just say screw it and line up. got about 60 feet in and felt it start to cough and die so they had to pull me out and you could smell clutch for miles!! get it back out and over to where im parked and pull the plugs and crank it over to get the water out of the intake but there is none so i take a closer looke at the filter and its plugged solid with mud so i have to get another which my co worker who was comming down brought for me. but then the people running the thing decide that there is too much water and they are going to make it more mud than water. They broke 2 tractors in the process and it took 3 hours and then they decided to run the v8 classes first and work there way down to the smaller classes. so they extreme modifieds line up and neither of them make it more that 30 feet. so every single truck that goes through gets pulled out pulling more and more soupy mud to the end of the pits. 4 hours after my first run i get back into my suby and start it and go to back up and i get massive clutch chatter so im thinking, o'well ill just go get it stuck 1 more time before the end of the day. get down there and get into line to go and what do you know my clutch is now toast.......o'welll has a damn good timing doing it and learned that doing things last minute really beats you up..

Well i got a good 2 hours of sleep last night and im having the tires mounted right now, sucky thing is the boss isnt to happy that im trying to use bay space in the middle of the day....o'well i told him he can fire me AFTER the mud bogs LOL hopfully ill have her done before midnight tonight...but ill get things updated as the progress continues!!!

Well its now 1:30 and i am P*SSED OFF. New Gaskets on the car and intake. Cleaned Intake to look for cracks and found NONE yet i still have a F*ING Coolant Leak?!?!?!?!?!? Well I got the other diff in at least and still have yet to bleed the brakes Tune and Test and Mount the tires I hope i can make it for the bogs but as of now its iffy. Hopfully my boss will let me work on the car throughout the day without too much complaining. O'well i guess thats what happens when you procrastinate....shoot im soo tired i can even spell......

The Saga Continues!!!! Well Its Thursday night and the hatch is ready for its locker diff...... i get the locker wleded... The cover cleaned and painted fancy and get it all put together..... And then decided since i got the thing from my girlfriend car...it was a spare i didn't just steal it... i had better check and see if its a 3.9 or a 3.7 so i look and there is not sticker on the one that came out of the hatch so i pull the cover and count the teeth on the ring gear....its a 3.9 alright so the i try and remember what my girlfriend that i have just spent time welding and painting was so i have to drive back to the house and get under her lifted wagon to see what her diff is and guess what its a frigin 3.7 so then i have to go back through and clean and weld the stupid 3.9... well i got some other stuff done......kinda I modded the gas peddle so that my foot wouldn't slip off Got my frame done for my brush guard..... And am waiting for the paint to dry on the SECOND diff But then i start the car and see a coolant leak...hmm i wonder where thats coming from?? Take a mirror and it looks like my intake it cracked and the car has to be done tomorrow so i pull the intake and realize that its not the intake thats leaking I'm just so tired from working on the dang thing that i didn't get the carb bolts all tight on the front of the carb and it all leaked back..... hmm well back to work its not mid-night and i still have to install the diff, re-install the intake, put the rear shocks on it and then move all of the customer cars to the front of the building!!! Part 3 Continues tomorrow at midnight.....if I'm still alive!!!

Yeah i like your design but i started some fab stuff here at the shop and we have all the equiptment to do it plus it has to be done on friday otherwise i would have called you on it.

Yeah i have started a 1x1x1/8'' tubing skid plate frame that will hold a peice of 1/8'' skid plate so that even if it smacks the skid plate its going to have to bend the 1x1x1/8'' square tubing to damage anything:banana: Im Not really goot at paint but here is the basic idea of what i have half welded up

LOL:lol: Not quitei dont "really" have to do half the stuff im doing but the bogs im going to always seem to accidentally have a nice jump at that end of them so im trying to beef stuff up a little.

Well instead of doing the intelligent thing and spending the summer working on my suby to get it ready for the bogs i waited until the last minute..... So i started on it and put the engine back into it last night, didn't have a weber so i jerry rigged and stripped down 2 Hitachi carbs that i had laying around. did then exhaust up on the rack and then realized, after i got it back on the ground, that if i used those mufflers its going to hang down WAY to far but i actually got the thing running last night for the first time in a year and a half... I'm going to get some picture up as soon as i get a chance but as it sits right now its got a modified AA 4 inch lift (mods would be the welded brackets), i just finished a Lincoln locker diff, stripped and spray lined interior, and now a custom "racing" carb, and 14'' pugs that will have wild cat ext's mounted and custome 2'' racing exhaust thats going to be changed but i will take pictures of the way it is now. Like i said as soon as i can figure out how to put pictures on i will!!! Things left o finish tonight Before Friday: *Drain Cock for Radiator *Fuel Breather Filter *Skid Plate *Fix exhaust and install Cherry Bombs *Battery *Mount and Balance Tires *Install New Axle Seal on Locked Diff *Install Locked Diff *Bleed Brake system *Install New Throttle Cable *Mod and Build Strut Support *Install Lock tight on All Lift Bolts *Intsall Undercoating PICTURES!!!!!!!!! Stripped Down Hitachi "Race Carb" Engine COmpartment 2'' Header Pipes Muffler that i am replaceing with bombs Lift Brace from under the car Lift Brace From Wheel well New Tires that need to be mounted

Ill check it out and make sure everything is okay with the Crank pulley.....I already checked the wiring and check for any sort of draws and it only pulling .02 to .00 without anything on. Thanks for the help.

1998 Legacy L, Alternator wasnt charging and battery had drawn down... gave the guy his car back. He installed a Subaru Reman alternator. Called me 1 week later claiming to have the same problem. He gives the car back the alternator is intermittently charging. Tell him he needs to replace the alternator because its only charging every now and then. He replaces the alternator with yet another subaru reman alternator............. Calls me 1 week later, the alternator will charge if nothing is running but once your turn the headlamp on or a/c or anything it stops charging.....so i load tested the stupid battery and it holds load fine. Anyone have any idea besides 2 bad subaru remans??

THe Libraries around here will let you access it from home all you need to long in is your library card.

Man you Bellingham boys stay really tight.... i wish i had so more subie enthusiest that were willing to do some weekly stuff together ... o'well its nice to see that a groups is hanging together.

if one side of you radiator hoses is warm or hot and the other side stays cool you have a blockage problem that could either be, like GD says a t-stat or you could have a cloged heater core or radiator, the heater core is more likely then the radiator.
