  1. Could be, trans came from a wagon with a shady past before it went to my car. Anyways I have been adjusting to my new work schedule graveyard rotating 12hr shift. 

    I have found some time between work and sleep to get the EJ case halves put together with the EA gear sets its sealed and torqued now im waiting to do the EA tail shaft till my day off then put it in and mock the other goodies up. 

    Cheers R.

  2. I know like ??? stock 2.2 legacy sedan cam home frome a weekend away it was super cold i pulled out onto the road and about half way through 2nd gear it literally sounded like a grenade went off and it would free rev in all gears.

  3. well i guess i kinda ran into this one half cocked and let my mind wander. The basic idea is to be able to jump in with a couple personal ruck sacks and a "Battle Box" with enough to survive away from chaos in the middle of nowhere with the rig for up to 10 days  and enough to survive 3 days on foot in the rucks. 

    There is more to the plan than just the rig its more of a visual for survival practice and prepping for emergency situations. We have places that we hike and started talking about survival practice leading to choosing out locations to evacuate to if large scale emergency, Riots, Bombs, Zombies but in all its turning into a fun hobby and outdoor activity that might save a life or my own some day. 

    Pictures to come soon of the FWD EJ 5 speed i pulled apart for the bell housing. The neat part is it came from my old sedan and it made a loud noise one day and stopped "going" nothing in any gear HMM. Well its open and there are some fun pictures tune in soon! @ SAME USMB TIME SAME USMB THREAD~~~!

  4. Here are your options, Pull the drain plug and count the teeth on your ring gear and count check against the other one.

     

    I'm assuming you are dealing with a 5 speed the first gen legacy had 4.11 but only in the early years like 89,90,91 after 92 all standards were 3.9 in an N/a legacy, This has been my experience through the transmission games i have played. 

    Hope it helps

    Cheers R. 

  5. Gloyal, Dont be such a purest ;-) at least its not (ford) :-P.

     

    I'm not too worried about the duel e brake idea, An open front diff has never been an issue as long as my rear was is welded. 

    I think it would be nice to have the stopping power and with larger tires the little brakes tend to get hot if you do a lot of highway driving. Then there is the fact that you would probably never have to change them again lol.

  6. At WCSS15 there was a maroon brat with chevy 6 lug rotors on the front. is he on here?  

     

    I will try to find the picture but as far as i can tell he removed the stock rotor and put the chevy "Floater Rotor" over his 6 lug converted Hub then made his own mount for the 1/2 ton brake calipers. It looked beefy and a weekend job i think i want to tackle it on the Bug out rig. 


    Cheers. 

  7. It crossed my mind..... lol but no six wheel for this rig. 

    Yea i was thinking about that i relocated the battery to the back over the rear sub frame and there will be a full size spare on a swing away rack. I also removed a lot of weight from the front the car is more balanced length wise the steel tubing for the rear boxed section should bring the weight to about right. 

    Here is where i sit so far need to finish the diff hanger and the drivers side rear shock top, then it will roll after that there is the trans bracket driveline bracket.

    I have 15x9 toyota spoked wheels for it looking for tires.
