    Hi This is Jerry, i have an 85 EA81 hatch back and i drive 500 miles every week just to work and back. So with that i have installed a 93 imperza 1.8 engine everything all stock on the engine except air filter it has a cone filter. I use the stock Y pipe it all fit. I have a 86 RX 5 speed dual range tranny with 3.70 gears and a VLSD 3.70 rear also rear disc brakes. I am running stock tires 185/70R/13 now this is the kicker i am getting 38.4 mpg for now but i still have a bunch of things i want to do to get 40 mpg. The car weights about 1000 lbs. less than the imperza. Thanks Jerry

    Hi This is Jerry, to get the factory tool cost way to much money i have check into it. What i did was get an old blade screwdriver bend the end of it using a torch to heat up the end of it so i can bend it. The screwdriver was about 6 inches long, took the handle off of it then clamp a vise grips to it. the adjusting bolt to the vise grips i welded a nut to it to fit my slide hammer. Then remove the C cilp from the piston then slide the screwdriver in the rist pin then slam away until the rist pin is out. But i do have the rist pin installer tool. Thanks Jerry

    Hi This is Jerry, the car is a 86 hatch that i cut the roof off of and put the roof from a gen 2 brat also use the back wall. I had to lengthen the frame 13 inches. It is set up so i can pull the frame and install subie running gear back into it. The engine is not in it but it is set up for the 2.2 with the 5 speed dual range tranny with a short center drive line to the transfore case. I have way to much money into this project but i would like to get 3000.00 i also have another complete front end and it has rear disc brakes. Let me know Thanks Jerry

    Hi This is Jerry, if you look at my avatar you will see me standing by my 86 hatchbrat that has a sammy frame and running gear under it. The reason i chose the sammy is that the wheel width is the same as the subie has. I didn't want the wheels sticking way out past the fenders. It is just spring over no lift and yes it's that tall i am 6 feet tall. Oh by the way it's for sale all the fab work is done. Thanks Jerry
