Well after my last disaster i picked up a cheap car from New Zealands version of EBay. Shes a 1989 JDM Legacy wih a 16valve single point injection EJ18. The car needs a bit of work, some paint and of course oil leaks need to be sorted, but the motor runs well and ive transplanted in a heap of interior bits out of my 1997 Legacy.

 

 

On the bright side ive got something to fix up in my spare time now, and its a fun car to drive. If anyone has info on the SPFI system please let me know, from what i can see so far it looks identical to the EA82 system.

This weeks job is to whip off the timing belt covers and figure out which idler is whining. Also if anyone can tell me if this motor is interference or not it would really help!

 

Also for future reference, 205/65/15 will NOT fit, 195/60/15 will fit under the spring perch but will rub the inside arch in tight corners and heavy loads.

Oh and myself and waimaks got together and stuffed all our favourite video clips into one end of year special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnuBHbswa_g

Isnt it going to be alot of work to switch the steering wheel to the proper side? hehehehe

Does that engine have a distributor or is it coilpack?

Distributor! Wooo i have high tension leads again!

Free bump for video.. or something.

That's a really cool video.

nice car BUT, the steering wheel is on the wrong side or you have the picture reversed 'giggle', good luck
