Work that I did to it:

2 MWE axles (new CV cups not reman)

Engine rebuild

ITM gaskets

New 3 angle valve job

Rings, Bearings, OP,WP etc...

All new hoses, every last friggin vacuum line, oil line, water line, pcv line

Had to do some "modifications" to some of the lines going to the turbo

because they were so rotted out.

 

New performance brand radiator

Removed leaky power steering for "strong arm steering"

New Tie rods

New ball joints

and here's sam helping me put it back in the beast... the funny part about this picture, that I didnt notice at the time, is that everything in this picture is 4wd. (thats one of sam's eagles on the left)

FYI if anyone is interested in hardware kits for that modification I did to the exhaust, let me know, cause rotordyne, who I work for, is thinking about selling those kits, cause we need them on the aircraft as well.. (the other option is using bolts with holes for safety wire.) let me know which idea you like better cause in the near future rotordyne will start distributing subaru components.

Amazing that I have never thought of that. Great idea, I may use it one day soon!

+1!

Ya I was like great idea when I first saw that! I definately need some of those.I would go with safety wire since that is what I am used to on airplanes.Good job on your project.That T-brat looks sweet!

Sweet ride. EA81Ts FTW

:slobber: Must... fix.... coupe.....wagon..... Nice job on the enigne!

OK guys, so I talked with JS about it, and if I can produce them, then I can sell them..

 

Tell me if these would catch your interest.. If so, then I can make it happen....

 

Exhaust stud kit would include... new studs (with holes & threadlock coated), castellated nuts, cotter pins AND length of safety wire, needed exhaust gaskets, small pack of antisieze and 1 capped nut for installation of studs.

 

EA63/71/81/82 $22.95

EJ series $29.95

ER27 $29.95

 

Now I am not actually selling these, yet. I just want your guys input.. SEND ME PM's please

I think it's a great idea. I live in Australia so I think I'll make my own up (plus all my exhaust threads are different then standard now.)

 

But at that price I would buy them. I wonder who in the US agrees with me.

Sweet ride EA81 cars ROCKS!

Is that the brat that was for sale with the bad h/g in santa rosa about 2 months ago?

nice job:slobber:

I would be up for buying those kits for the exhaust studs for sure!Is that for one side or for both?Sounds great!I Would get one for an ej motor also since I saw you have those available.

 

Is this going to be a thread right in type of thing or will they need to be drilled/tapped out to a bigger size?Let us know when they become available.

Yes this is the brat that was in santa rosa

 

The kits will be the 10x1.25 size so they will thread right in... right now I am in search of a source for small hex castle nuts.. the 17mm ones work, but they are a little tight up against the exhaust.
