RenaissanceMan Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well this is now the eighth subaru that I have owned, and I am finally back into an ea81.. not just any ea81, an EA81T!!! Here's when I first got it: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0761.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0769.JPG 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 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0770.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0772.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0773.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_07751.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_07761.JPG 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) http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0771.JPG and all said and done, here it is back in the car, running like a champ, passed california smog with flying colors.. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/100_0778.JPG 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. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenaissanceMan Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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.

mykingcrab Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is that the brat that was for sale with the bad h/g in santa rosa about 2 months ago? nice job:slobber: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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.

RenaissanceMan Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 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. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
