uhoh, ea82s have a bad rep of puking their guts out at rally schools.

sweet online forum victory, LOL:lol: nothing is sweeter :lol: :grin::banana: no worrys man, i am hopeless.

dude i read all your postings, you're saying it's going to be a challenge to find a suitable push style clutch, many people are telling you it's not going to be. Bill knows there was a pull style, it's the first question he asked me when i talked to him on the phone the first time, with an almost painful sounding "please don't let it be a pull clutch, please don't let it be a pull clutch" sound when he asked. But if he's not to concerned, I wouldn't be. i'm just saying, don't worry about it, there is tons out there in the way of clutches, even for your billion HP baja monster.

so your saying off the shelf stuff is going to hold a LOT more then devils making? sure, i guess for a couple grand you can get some crazy clutch. but real world is Bill didn't want to work with pull type clutch. push is easy, its simpler to make, a simple threaded hole for a pivot ball verses tons of extra machining to make a pull style clutch work. for a older gent making some damn nice things in his shop and not charging us thousands dollars to do it, i learn to smile, say thank you Bill, and not worry about crap like this. deal with what you have been given. if you still want a pull style clutch, run a 6 speed, weld the center diff call it good. or have Bill make you what you want, i'm about 1000% sure it wont be any where as cheap as this is going to be.

as much as i can't believe subaru would change much on the thrust bearing because they basically hate to change anything, you do bring up a good point. at trip to subaru and ask if the parts are even different would be a start or at least touch them both and see if they are different. right, well the 400+ awd wheel hp via the NA push clutch has to say something. and if i remember right, that was like a $300 clutch that he had made. and he uses that for drag racing, i can't picture anyone ever making that kind of power and being able to put it to the ground of a rwd subaru. when i did my rwd in my lego for a couple weeks it was hell getting going some times. i got stuck on a small wet hill. that rear suspension never was meant to take all the power and doesn't know how to transfer it to the ground properly. aka, squat, weight transfer, things subaru never really designed into the rump roast end of the legos+

No really how much power you thinking you goiing to make that push style clutch isn't going to take? Go over to legacy central and talk to red devil about his NA push style clutch in his twin charged legacy wagon. You're thinking the pull style is a superior clutch pressure plate, its just a different style, and the NA push clutch can be made and for about the same money to hold damn near as much power as you think you can make.

What do you mean suitable push style clutch kit? Are you you talking tohold more power? I know someone running ungodly kind of power via a push sytle clutch. Its all about where you go and how they make it. His is a duel diaphragm with a six puck, its not an easy slow take off but it holds all he puts to it.

good times there. no real snow to be excited about. the big stuff missed portland and went north. i have been working on a remote shifter also. its all based on the subaru shifter, its not like probably the most beautiful thing, but it should work. but if you have better ideas, im all for seeing what you got going in your head.

looks like christmas might come early this year.

i'm thinking the shifter would be close to the same spot, but then you would have a transfer case hanging off the rump roast end. but if you got it, do it. there is another option for supra trannys. each succeeding generation the shifter got farther and farther back ending with this. but i price one out once, yeah right around a grand. i'll figure out some sort of shifter before dropping that kind of dough.

Ask and you shall receive. Its not close. Its part of the "somethings" that need to be figured out. I'm working on something for it and basing it around a subaru shifter.

careful the new pics, you're going to have to chew it back if you look at them

nice, everyone likes new projects. funny to base a car around a bell housing that isn't made yet, but i know at least me and monstaru have stuff sitting in the garage waiting ever so calmly, sitting on our hands trying not to get to excited with each and every picture that he posts up.

look into getting one for a project? hell, i'm creating a project just for this thing.

:slobber::slobber: oh crap i just drooled on my keyboard.

best news i have heard all day. i'm sure i speak for many people when i say, i really want to thank you again for taking on this project.

this would work with any ej motor and then some. but keep in mind this is no bolt in kit. this is going to just be a way to hook your ej motor to a toyota tranny, the rest will be up to you.

i'm hoping one will be our lonely little subaru housing. but really, what are the three you are finishing up, i'm starting to make my christmas wish list.

:slobber::slobber: good lord bill i think i need to start making a shopping list of bell housings.

looking awesome bill, keep up the work.

oh damn you bill, this t5 option alone makes me almost makes me want to scrap my subaru motor idea for my project and go to a mitsu motor. :slobber::slobber:turbo 4g63 with dog boxed t5:slobber::slobber: once again bill, beautiful work.

those pdfs are perfect thanks. maybe it was easier to just use the same controller through out the models. and so maybe this is the same one that was used in the higher end legacys with side air bags. i mean they make so much else interchangable why stop at the air bag stuff. regardless, harness supposed to be there or not, it doesn't have side air bags so that's all i care about. i'm going to try and flash the codes next weekend and see what it says and go from there. thanks

so i'm helping a friend of mine put back together her 2000 RS that was taken apart to find a water leak. well one thing lead to another and here it sits with 3 and half years later with no interior, a pile of parts and me not being the person that took it apart. so i'm doing my good deed for the year and helping her get it back together and making it mobile again. but i'm running into some problems. i got it running, and i have a air bag light on. so in searching around to see if anything was unplugged i'm noticing that the air bag module is missing 2 plugs. no where in the car and in any of the pile of parts (keep in mind, some stuff might have gotten tossed) can i find the 2 (and should be yellow) plugs that plug into it. My only thought is that these 2 plugs may have been part of a sub harness that could be removed from the car and might have got tossed or miss placed. And that maybe that sub harness plugged into one of the plugs I don't know what they are for. But I snapped some pics so i'm not just using words to describe it, i'll use blurry pictures to help. but if you can identify any of these plugs it would be much appreciated. back of the air bag module mystery plug #1, located behind the radio area. not for the radio. mystery plug #2. comes from the back of the radio area, but has a super long lead to it. streached out it would touch the front of the back seat. but i don't think it goes that way. it does have an inline "bus" style fuse (think old school round tube) that comes off the power wire for the radio.

any updates good or bad.

a fuel filter would be a good thing to do cheap plug wires have caused under load problems on a few subarus i have had. start with a good tune up. there really isnt much to go wrong.
