February 28, 200719 yr ok ,so i picked up this 84 wagon.it is exactly like my alltime favorite subie except for auto hell.put a new motor in her and then decided to just offroad her for good.i have some serious plans for this one.i wasn't very serious about the brat build:grin: don't say it is worthless with out pics.they will start soon.i have been holding off starting this thread for a long time.so ,have patience and you will wet your pants.i guess i can give what i have so far. whats goin in flywheel 'nother bit o love this is her(the yakima racks are for sale)
February 28, 200719 yr Sweet. I also see that other thing you asked me about. I was going to say the same thing... nice project, you posted a pic or 2 of that intake manifold before....and I love at at least as much now as I did then. nice work!!
February 28, 200719 yr Sweet. I also see that other thing you asked me about. You mean the other big red thing?
February 28, 200719 yr F@(% yeah man!! Gotta love old school offroading. I'm thinking about diving in on a lift build myself, so keep us updated on this, oh and take a TON of pics!
February 28, 200719 yr Sweet. I also see that other thing you asked me about. and read a hint somewhere on another forum... can't wait to see the photos of this build! always like watching extreme little subaru's! and a offroad dedicated rig is way better than a daily driver. learned that one, and never again a dd for my main 4x4.
March 1, 200719 yr Author Sweet. I also see that other thing you asked me about. yeah , that one left the fold today,it just wasn't solid enough. i have another one coming that is of the 85 and under vintage. should be fun. rob,it is just that...an intake.that i waited a year to find .and finally got.and am ************ing stoked about.it is from some aviation cats that i ran across.:)i am thinking about making some.:cool: galen,i am excited too.i was going to build the brat more.but decided not to ruin my dreams of her.and am finally in the position to build something i want instead of settling for something that i have.don't get me wrong,i love my brat.should be fun, and i will try an rememberr to take pics.i am usually wrenching. hey crazyD yeah, her name is penny.likei said,it is a spittin' image of the one that made me fall in love with soobs.i can't wait to destroy her with love. rooinater..... i have been waiting to build a damn car that is not a dd.that is why i haven't "put up or shut up":lol: i was going to make penny my daily,but i hate everything related to emissions.and she has some other probs that i do not want to deal with.so she will get stripped,clipped,and dipped(in mud). cheers,brian
March 2, 200719 yr so you bought the 84 huh?Sweet.Thanks to you my adapter plate is done.everything motorwise is done.Come to think of it I just need to drop the motor in,wire the harness into the body and sort out fueling...hopefully I will have most of that done tomarrow. So for the 84,lets see Carbed Ej22 Transfer case Presuming lift... Show pics when done!
March 2, 200719 yr Author more than a lift mate. this thread is just a precursor to you having a heart attack.
March 2, 200719 yr Author i can't say.it is yet to be determined.there are a lot of considerations for that choice.mainly,gearing and secondary,room.we'll see what tire size you planning on?35's?37's? 40's(oh god that would be massive)
March 5, 200719 yr Author more progress on motor.waiting on getting my axles this week sometime.and my frame next weekend. whats that?holy*^%$#@& it's a disty!howd that get there? (giggling)huhuhuhuhuh like a 13 yr old boy peeking through a hole in the wall at a cheerleader camp.
March 5, 200719 yr Nice... That disributor really threw me off. Do you have a guess as to when this will be done?

March 5, 200719 yr ok... how the heck does the disty shaft attach to the cam? pics of that pleeeez? also cool manifold... did you make it? propane+turbo!!
March 6, 200719 yr wow brian i hope you put in every little detail of your project cuz these couple of pics are leaving me lost:dead: but so far i see a freakin crazy ej22 and a crazy manifold...the rest of that i have down syndrome for 5 minutes:lol:
March 6, 200719 yr hmmm... frame arrive... hmmm... others don't read the other posts... i got these 35's for sale! lol... but the otherside of washington
March 6, 200719 yr triangulated 4-link? coilovers? 1/4 elliptical springs? leafs? coils?i also have a set of dana 44's, front and rear lockers, 4.56 gears, front and rear disc brakes... that i was going to use for my subaru... if you need any decent sized axles too?...
March 6, 200719 yr Author i already have a first born so i can't give you that! but we may need to talk about those 44's and such.i would be highly interrested!right now it will be sitting on toy 8"s, but it would be sick if it was on 44's.can't afford the tires right now but,pm me with some pricing.definitely not promising,but would be interested to talk about it.cheers,brian triangulated 4-link? coilovers? 1/4 elliptical springs? leafs? coils?i also have a set of dana 44's, front and rear lockers, 4.56 gears, front and rear disc brakes... that i was going to use for my subaru... if you need any decent sized axles too?...
