February 22, 201412 yr congrats on the house! i just bought a house with a garage last march, still havent moved in or got the garage usable yet...... stupid renovations and no money... lol
February 24, 201412 yr Did you change the mirrors on your brat to fender mirrors? I was considering doing it, wondering if you have any more pics? Edited February 24, 201412 yr by lvsarge
March 3, 201412 yr Author Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr Got the brat running today so I can bring it over to the new house in the morning. It was so nice to drive it around for a little while today. I forgot how fun this brat is to drive.
March 3, 201412 yr Author So today I had the duty of waiting for the utility guys in the new house so I decided to take some stuff apart with the tools I had moved over so far. I'm so ready to start the ej22 swap. Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr
March 5, 201412 yr Author Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr Had a little extra time after organizing the house so I pulled the front end body panels.
March 6, 201412 yr Author Tonight I drained the radiator and pulled it. After I decided to see how the mishimoto full aluminum for the ej22 would fit and it's a hair big so I'll have to do some grinding and cutting to get it fitted properly. Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr
March 6, 201412 yr i heard somewhere that the mishimoto radiator from the brz might be a better fit in the oldschool subies. . .
March 8, 201412 yr Author Electrical has been labeled and pulled, fuel pump pulled, ignition pulled and dropped the exhaust from the motor. Now the motor is ready to come out. Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr
March 9, 201412 yr Author Motor is out! It's been fun with the ea71 Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr
March 19, 201412 yr Author Untitled by Kevin Talley, on Flickr Not too much work has been done this week but I got the dash pulled out last night and then just kind of laid underneath the brat for about 45 mins getting visuals of how much work this is actually going to take. Holy spoob I am excited. Dropping the Trans/drive line/suspension and all the rest of the stuff thats under the car. And then I will pull the Legacy into the garage and start tearing that apart.
March 22, 201412 yr Author Well tonight I pulled the driveline out of the brat ad went to measure it up to the legacy and just found out that the legacy is fwd.... Kind of disappointed in myself that I didn't check on that before hand but also will make the swap a little easier. Oh well roll with the punches.
March 22, 201412 yr Author I want to do it Awd but budget isn't gonna allow me to do that unless I get some free stuff to make it work.
March 22, 201412 yr well.... look on the bright side, do disc brakes on the rear and set up the parking brake so it acts on the rear only, and you will have yourself a burnout machine
March 22, 201412 yr Author ha yea It will make the headache of getting the awd set up right a lot easier that's for sure.
May 20, 201411 yr Author So today I finally pulled in the legacy to start taking it a apart. I've been so swamped with work and an injury from mountain biking I haven't had much time or drive to do anything. But now things are all better and I am back on track to get this project done!
July 15, 201411 yr Author oof so some motivation hit me this last weekend and I HAVE to have this swap done by the end of august. I am now on a time crunch. Today I prepped the EJ to be pulled just need to go and grab my buddies engine hoist and get that baby out so we can put it in the BRAT!
July 18, 201411 yr Author Motor is out of the Legacy and about to be fitted into the Brat! Pics to come later!
