EA82Turbo Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Had a big crash at a rally event. Check out the fix up job I did in 3 weeks or after work and weekends! Before and after pics attached. (I Hope???) refer to:http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39749 for crash pictures.

subyrally Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 thats hot...cant wait to get my rx all rallied out, or at least looking like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA82Turbo Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yep got some higher quality photos, I'll put them in my gallery. Paint is good aye? its 2005 wrx blue. Engine is a EA82 Turbo with a little work done. Running 10 psi with intercooler, oil cooler, 3 core radiator, custom extractors, removed power steering and air con, modified turbo for less lag (hits at about 2500rpm but flatens at about 6000rpm), external wastegate, 3" exhaust with no cat and high flow 3" exhaust, twin trumpet blow off value, K&N cone filter. Should have around 170hp, seems to be about as fast as other cars around this hp. But have beaten many 300hp + cars! Hoping to fit a Legacy rear Viscous LSD I have, but just doing some research to see if its possible. Current running two single spinner diffs, rank! not much good in a drift!

Current running two single spinner diffs, rank! not much good in a drift! if you're talking about the rear diff swap, a 3.90 VLSD from a 91-92 Turbo Legacy will bolt right in. it's stub axles are held in with a c-clip, instead of the bolts that the EA diffs use.

EA82Turbo Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 I have been told the Legacy VLSD I have is 4.11 ratio. To change the ratio back to 3.9 (or 3.7?) I can swap the crown and pinion right? but the stub axles will have the wrong spline count (mine is 23). Can I change the stub axles? how is this done?

tizzle Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 car looks very good, and well modified. Do anything to the suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA82Turbo Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Finding good suspension, gearboxes and diffs seems to be the problem with these old girls. I have a 5 speed box with hi/lo and fwd. Currently single spinner diffs front and back. Front suspension is standard Leone 1983 wagon suspension and back suspension is L series read shock absorber with no spring. Abit rough but works OK? Any better ideas for suspension?

carfreak85 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 If you want stiffer springs in front, you can track down EA81T front springs and anti-roll bar. They are slightly lower (Not by much) and stiffer (Again, not by much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do It Sidewayz Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 dude. you gota get yourself some suspenders like the ones i'm running these are the fronts compared with stock EA82 stuff and the rears all on this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can give you the number if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA82Turbo Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 "Do It Sideways" where did you get that suspension? Looks good! What brand is it? "Ross" please give contact number for wrecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdrt Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I would like to know about the coil overs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 that suspension is the hottness. how painful is the price on those?/ is it something like forget the vaseline expinsive? i want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 i NEED that! this buick suspension has to GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do It Sidewayz Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The suspension is custom made Bilstien coil overs. The front strut tubes are made from Chromoly. We use 250lb/in springs in the front, and 200 lb/in spring in the back. In the front we get about 7 inches of travel, and about 6.5 in the rear. You can play around with the spring rates and lengths very easily, as they use standard 2.5" coil over springs. All in all..it runs somewhere about $1750 USD for a full setup. However, for us..it's all worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
