June 4, 200520 yr Wow what a difference the swap has made on my GL-10, I can honestly say it has improved my performance by about 50%!!! Last night me and about 6 other cars went out to a very quiet area near Marine Drive's industrial areas, and set up a drag strip that was a little over a 1/4mile long and went at it. Cars Racing : 1. 2000 Civic Hatchback 5-speed w/D16 Engine & D15 Head, Intake, Exhaust, Headers 2. 1990 Honda Prelude 2.0si 5-speed with Intake and Exhaust 3. 1987 Mitsubishi Codia Turbo 5-speed STOCK 4. 1987 Subaru GL-10 4WD Sedan w/5-speed D/R 3.90gears conversion (ME) Stock Turbo@9psi The civic was a close race but I beat him by about 2 cars, the prelude I beat by 4 cars, and the codia which raced me 3 times lost consistantly by 3 cars I'm so happy with the car right now its running perfect! I can't wait to get it on the drag strip and dyno to get some numbers, I still have the TD04-13g and WRX TMIC waiting to be installed when I get some funds I'll be posting some videos soon of the car in action everyone to see. I also took a guy from work who owns a nice SVX w/Shift Kit for a ride in my suubie since he has been following my rebuild and he was like "ITS NOT A LOYALE ANYMORE!" LOL He was really impressed and wants to run his SVX against me Can't wait for that one as the trash talking has allready began.
June 4, 200520 yr Marine Drive rocks. One time I took my old '76 Lincoln coupe out there and wound it up as far as I dared. 90mph at about 3000 RPM in OD and the shimmy scared me so I had to back down. The Mitsubishi is a Cordia. Sort of like an old Colt but wide track, turbo. Hot stuff in its day and quite rare here. http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/article.html?&A=0045

June 5, 200520 yr Author that's what people say about our weird, old, subarus Yeah everyone makes fun of my subaru until they hear it and see it going down the street then they are like One day I pulled into Baxter Auto Parts haulin' rump roast and they were like "WHOLY CRAP DID YOU SWAP A WRX ENGINE INTO THAT?" I just smiled and said nope EA82-T and they were like I love drivin it around, it's funny when I roll up on a nice sports car and try to get them to run they just look over at me and laugh, then when I take off they just can't beleave it
June 5, 200520 yr Author Tell your friend you put a 5speed in his SVX!!! [HTi]Johnson I dont even know which 5-speed tranny would fit in an SVX, to this day I have never even seen a 5-speed SVX... Did they ever make em in the US?
