TheLoyale Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think it would be about a 1/2" bit. What size drill bit did you use for that, I have a set of 6 lug Calmasters that I want to use, just haven't really tried to find the right bit size.

LeoneTurbo Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I just finished the assembly of the adjustable top mounts for my EA81 wagon. I bought a set of new strut tops off Yahoo! Japan Auction, had new plates cut for my EA81 and this is the result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruWagon87 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yesterday, I went with Robbie and pulled a complete set of struts, a radiator, headlights, a grill, and gas shocks for the rear hatch. And today I went and picked up my spare rear diff & mustache bar, and my 6 lug pathfinder rims. It's slowly coming together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical_misfit Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 made the trip from Muskegon to Hillsdale to pick up parts for my rusty `86 wagon. A big thanks to TomRhere for the help and the hookup on 4 decent doors, a non-broken rear bumper, and a working stock radio! Also, messed with a cellphone camera while fueling up! I like this picture, it looks like its from back when this car was still new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanurys Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 yup, half inch bit/craftsman 19.2 volt cordless drill/ 3 fully charged batteries. RV I have 5 montero rims. I think I will drill them out soon. 1/2 inch bit, hu? I'll probably bevel the edges with 2 sizes bigger... Let us know what you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what you use. scott (SJR) said to use 60 degree bevel on the re-drilled holes. i like how the tires dont stick way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I like this picture, it looks like its from back when this car was still new. I too like the old look it has to it. Nice shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 heres a shot in the dark (no pun) i have yet to bevel the holes but i got 95% of the "trimming" (sawzall and drywall hammer/wooden dolly done) still need new front liftblocks w correct camber (anybody wanna cut me some 2x2 square?) but its rolling again now. these wheels tuck under nicely, ill put up more pics when im done and its nice(er)/ brighter outside. also has 4w discs now.

JRD Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have changed the engine, messed with the carb, messed with the exhaust, changed the ignition, getting ready to change the engine and tranny (again). Maybe some day I will actually get to drive the thing! I've only driven it to where it sits now in the garage waiting for me to get the time to work on her again. Poor car!

thatswhatshesaid Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Lately...I drove ~200 miles one way to pick up a SVX motor to swap into my Outback this weekend! I must be nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superu Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I am eager to see that build and hear its final performance characteristics. I've been dreaming of an H-6 swap since I ran into a SUPER CLEAN 94 SVX with 94K miles on it in a junk yard last fall... Lately...I drove ~200 miles one way to pick up a SVX motor to swap into my Outback this weekend! I must be nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 You've been around longer than me, superu. ha ha. You should do the swap. We'll compare notes along the way. You're probably more competent than I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch de la Brat Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well while thatswhatshesaid is putting a 6 cylinder in his car, I'm gonna be putting in the clutch from a 6 cylinder XT6 clutch FTW! Yes siree I'm dropping an XT6 clutch into my 5sp d/r swapped brat, because my used jy clutch is SATH. It slips in first gear So anyway, I'll be pulling the engine and getting the flywheel resurfaced this week. Oh, and does anybody have any suggestions on where to get a disty seal? Mine is leaking underneath the disty. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
