I used a thin layer of bondo to fill in the "Lion", then painted them silver. Looks pretty good. I want to get some vinyl cut. Either to say Subaru or just the stars... We'll see??

hmmm... I wonder what all they did to get it to 390??? If it is an EG33, I'd love to borrow one to "test" out in the racer

Nope... My SVX will upshift into second and then third even with the selector in 1st. But if I try the same thing in my 97 Legacy it will hold the gear and bounce off the rev limiter for up to 3-4 seconds (the longest I've wanted to hold it there)

What all is needed to be done to stick a full-time 4WD 5 speed DR out of an RX into a Brat that currently has a 4spd-DR? From the RX I would need; Flex plate Flywheel Clutch Clutch Cable Starter Tranny crossmember Shifter and console with Diff Lock switch Rear (Got it today ) Driveshaft??? Axles???? Any modifications needed to get it to fit?

Physically it may fit, but mechanically and electronically they are completely different units. I'll be parting a 92 SVX in a few months, send me a PM if your interested in the compressor.

exactly... no room to tear up the turf without smacking into another Subaru:lol:

It is grittier, it tastes bad and it is not nearly as refreshing or inebriating:drunk: Besides... Look at all that turf practice I had down in Cumberland hmmm... to practice.... my yard is not nearly big enough.... good thing Cressona is currently without a police force...

I'm in Nah... just a little stupid:lol:

Can I second my vote against?? The worst that can happen if you lose the belt is that the engine cuts out... Now granted this will happen on a 15* night with 20 MPH winds and rain and sleet and snow, but you seem like the adventureous kind of guy... When I change belts on my street SVX I plan to leave the covers off, and I'm debating it for my 97 Leg even though that IS an interference engine :-\

The big question is what year is the EJ22? Some are interference and some aren't I think the dividing line was 96? but you should do a search to confirm. If it is an earlier non-interference engine, I say run without the covers and carry a spare with you at all times. Without the covers, the timing belt can be changed in about 10-20 minutes. We run without covers on our race prepared EG33. It makes it quick and easy to confirm timing plus it looks cool :cool: If it is a later interference engine, then the decision becomes more difficult... edit; I just read in your sig that the EJ is coming out of a 92... I say strip them...

Front diffs have been swapped from time to time in the SVX crowd. We have basically same trans and diff, just a different ratio. You're probably aware, but when sourcing a new front diff, make sure the final drive ratio's match up.

I took one for a test drive.

Yeah Paul... Throw a date at us and we'll take it from there...

I want to do this, but weekends are all tied up I need to retire so I can have time for all my Sooby activities....

The Coupe with power windows that I saw last trip to Harry's was no longer there So I grabbed a regulator out of a Brat. The power window conversion will have to take a back seat for now.

The driver's side regulator on my Brat is stripped. I'm gonna run up to Harry's this weekend and find another. I think I remember reading that the regulator out of a hatch will also work? What about out of a coupe? I know the wagon doors are smaller, so I'm guessing the regulator wouldn't fit? If it would fit out of a coupe, what about the power regulator out of a coupe? Last time I was at Harry's I think there were a few there, if they would fit, I'll take a battery and check them out..

The Brat is loaded with my BIG floor jack and 6 jack stands and enough other stuff to drop the rear end over 2 inches But... not sure when we'll get there. We'll try to give ya' an update along the way on Saturday. Melis, The camera is up there, I'll bring the charger though See ya soon

How about serving a big plate of Anchovies and some steamed spinach??? :-p Maybe some bad news on the Corn end of things... On my drive down to Lancaster tonight I saw NO corn at any of the stands I'm guessing we're out of corn season. I'll keep my eyes open, but no promises. I'm not sure what time we'll be getting there?? Depends on what all we get done to the new car on Friday, and what we need to get finished on Saturday morning...

The back of the Brat will be filled with tools and parts as we make our way down from Vermont with a rust free/interior free XT6

Not sure about NJ, but Harry's in Hazelton, PA will generally have 30-40 various flavors of ea82's to pull from. http://www.wegotused.com They have yards in Allentown abd Pennsdale also, but Hazelton is the motherload

I have a belt sander I can bring along and leave you borrow for a while. I'm not sure if a belt sander is the correct tool for body work??? But, I'll bring it along if you want.

I'm about 1.5 hours away. Post up some more details when it gets closer.

Thanks to Ben, Matt, Oliver and especially Melissa for help to get Becca running again. Not sure why the coil died at the same time... but anyway thanks again for all the help.

With just one in the middle I think both headrests would work normally, but a jump seat passenger may knock their noggin' if the trail gets bumpy. The nice thing about these Rhode Gear mounts is that they can be removed by unscrewing the large yellow knob.

I uses a piece of angle steel from Lowes. Did some trimming and some drilling and mounted across between the two top mounting points for the headreasts. Attached to this crossbar are a couple of Rhode Gear Pro, Truck Shuttle Bike Mounts that I got off of EBay for about $10 each. The headrests will still go up and down with the cross bar in place, but I would have to unscrew the Bike Mount. On the Crosspost you can see another hole in the middle for a third Bike Mount, but I'm pretty sure that would be too close together for the bike handlebars.
