monstaru Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 That is what I am calling the buggy now.It may not be attempt number 13, but it is that creepy.:-p Lets recap , as the last thread grew out of a billion things to this. What we have so far: chassis, .120 wall 1.5 " DOM tubing..... The 37" meats the steering The suspension!2" and 14" Fox air shox The original layout,Ej22,5spd D/R,with 6.5 to 1 Zooki t-case. I wanted an auto, and more power.SoI just acqiured a Twin Turbo Ej engine, Am looking into Auto options like the AW4 Jeep trans, as well as others.This opens up the options for different T-cases. The H1 wheels with centers cut out , next to the new 6 lug centers.And a mock up. I went through so many transitions with the last thread , that I thought it would be good to regulate, and get to the basics of what is REALLY happening... WEll, this is it...LOL I keep gathering parts and waiting for a place to build this damn thing.Changing small things on the way as usual. I am up to Toyota axles with lockers, chromos, and my own fab for trussing and gussets... Much more to come.I will be moving soon,and one of the major concerns is getting shop space/garage to work on this thing!!! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I thought that it would be notable to say that I just looked at this thread and it had been checked out by 13 people:-p;) And I forgot to mention that 4.88's are the gear choice. And messed up the shock photos... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like it will be quite the machine, hope to see progress. $0.02 Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 What I appreciate most about this thread is. You are doing it all yourself. There is a lot to be said for that +100000 I'm watching, so keep the updates coming. As for using an automatic trans, a bellhousing like Bill is making would be sweet, but with an automatic, you don't have to worry about piecing together and perfectly aligning a clutch/flywheel. Flexplates are WAY eaiser to modify!! That said, I think an adapter plate is the way to go. I know you posted in the thread, but maybe you'd forgotten.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=962594&postcount=53 I think this is the way to go. Relatively simple. And should work with a TH350 or 700R4 if you want Overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am looking at the AW4 Jeep tranny.TheTH400 as well. Some of that stuff is beyond my scope of tools.So far anyway.... but I will continue to look at options in automatic trans configurations until I find one that I like. The Nissan auto would be an easier option as it is basically the same body as out 4EAT.However there is no aftermarket for it anymore.At one point Advance adapters had a plate to offer for an Atlas t-case behind that setup. It doesna seem like they do anymore, or abandoned the project....They do however have one that will fit the little bit later Titan line.Not the same setup as far as I can find. I did forget about that thread.thanks Chux! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
