Snowman Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 1. I don't know for sure, and it may take a bunch of wiring changes, but you probably can. Maybe swapping the entire wiring harness with it would make things less complicated? 2. Piece of cake. You need a 36mm socket, a 3/16" punch, and a chisel, as well as the standard hand tools you would need for working on a subaru. Takes me an hour to do it. 3. Also a piece of cake. You need to improvise a tool to turn the cam sprockets so that you can tension the belts properly. This will take a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yes, please post the pics about the seat reconstruction, I'm very interested Timing belt change isn't a big thing (on EA82 I know), for two weeks I was doing it 2 times daily, on the same engine. Now I can almost do it with eyes shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just to clarify about the tach, i meant an instrument cluster from a subaru with a tach,... put into mine, where the instrument cluster dosent have a tach. I will take photos of removing the old foam and the steps of replacing the new foam and seat cover. I can start as soon as i can find some replacement foam:banghead: hopefully it wont be too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
