May 2, 20196 yr Author Heres kind of a video of me doing that creek crossing. In 3WD. My friend recorded it with snapchat so the video cut out at 1 minute but I actually made it up. Rev bombed the hell out of it and spun tires. Short wheel base = win [/youtube] Edited May 2, 20196 yr by alexbuoy

Clayton You don’t extend your steering rack you extend the shaft and all you have to do is cut it and weld in a piece of metal go the length you need it so you add about 3 inches. Very simple!

June 23, 20196 yr Author Went on some trails in big bear. Also checked out an XT6. He only wanted 500 for it but it was an autotragic.
July 8, 20196 yr Author Been working on the Loyale a lot. Got some wheels and 27" tires for it. Not lifted. Almost ready to drive it just needs radiator hoses. Also scored at the Junkyard. Got DL headlights, a grille and some other small parts Found this plastic to delete the passenger mirror. I hate the way it looks
July 22, 20196 yr Author Super stoked just scored a set of good brat tail lights for really cheap on ebay!! Probably gonna keep them in storage and only swap them on for events or to get a fix it ticket signed off. And all my photos on this thread might be deleted. The website i'm hosting the images is getting shut down and i'm not sure if my pictures will stay
August 14, 20196 yr Author Lots of stuff going down with the loyale recently! Picked up an EJ22 with 280K miles on it and I am going to do a basic reseal/t-belt job on it. This EJ will be boosted with a TD04 and fxt intercooler that i've had sitting in the garage for years. Got my harness trimmed by SJR and he did a great job and it only took him one day to do it. So happy that everything is coming back together in the loyale. Only thing I need to start slapping things together is an EJ 5 speed transmission and i've already two lined up, one 3.9 and the other 4.11 with matching rear diff. Edited August 14, 20196 yr by alexbuoy cant get the damn pictures

August 25, 20196 yr Cool i will be keeping on eye on this to see how it goes with much interest as ive been contemplating doing this for my lifted loyale.
September 17, 20196 yr Author Well spoob there goes all my pictures. Picked up another EJ22 longblock with significantly less miles. Also will be picking up a JDM sti 5 speed and a blown WRX EJ205 this weekend both for dirt cheap. Pretty set on my motor option now. EJ22 n/a block with EJ205 heads. Gonna be running STOCK internals CR should be high 8’s. And my block is a 96 so supposedly it’s slightly beefier pistons than 97-98. Also going to need a good tune and i’ll be running some corn. I now have a chopped 98 2.2 harness for sale. PM me

Ill also be picking up a 2004 wrx bulkhead, ecu, and pedal assembly friday. He also has DW 2000cc injectors for sale at a decent price.
