This is a bug out rig its getting caged :-)

Made progress interior is in and coming together electrical is working perfect just time to loom the last bit up. here is the point im at right now. cant wait to get the Lift made :-P Cheers R.

I actually have a plan for the roll cage and steel for it. But I could use a couple simple tube bumpers? This will be driving in the next month harness went in today heater and dash. Definitely plan to bring it over though. Cheers R.

I recently moved back to yakima and found this project of years past so with a little work it followed us home. The plan is post society collapse Bug out Brat AKA BoB ;-) Here are some pictures car is stripped and being painted with heavy equipment rust inhibitor gloss black. before parts start goin into it. Ej powered, 4 inch lift, tires, 5 speed just to start.

Hey very cool! im in yakima as well might have to show off our subies some time. have you seen the looks like 4 inch lifted GL running around? Cheers R.

Very excited as always ill be there bright and early to see all my suby addict friends! sincerely, Rob.

Awesome, I'm tempted to yank some gauges out of a PT cruiser or intrepid very cool retro look. This has me wanting to get on my hatch, keep up the good work.

Hey just remember it is YOUR car! Looks pretty good to me but all that matters is you like it. Motor on! Rob.

Cause you hate stickers on cars ;-) nice coupe BTW. R.

Was lucky enough to pick this one up from a friend of a friend parked in 96 after owner got new truck. After rebuilding the carb replacing the fuel pump and basic tune up its been a wonderful daily driver and light trail fighter. id like to find the full push bumper and a few other bits. I was lucky enough to find a copy of "how to keep your subaru alive" NOS jackman chrome caps, NOS chrome rocker strips, washer nozzle, plastic door molding ect. enough parts to do a fair restore job but id like to keep it functional. I want to use it for camping and green dot driving. i plan on putting a good winch and some basic tools. roof basket and 1 gallon fuel can lights nothing extreme but a fun little go anywhere pack wagon. Here she is. Enjoy, Rob.

Hey uberoo, I did rwd in my hatch with an ej very fun sideways and still good on the road for daily use. I used the bellhousing of a legacy 5 speed and the internals and tail of a 5 speed s/r ea trans. Removed front diff completely soft plugs in the axle holes welded transfer gears in rear. This also allows me to use a better clutch and flywheel. I will post some pictures when I get to a computer Cheers r

sweetnesss!

If you have a seat open im down to go!

got another harness and had the same issue cut by another person though. Still no spark or fuel. I tested for hot at the FP relay nothing then i tried a jumper from the small yellow wire to the big yellow wire and i got life the FP cycled and i turned it over sure enough it fired right up. Its always something simple.... Cheers R.

thats the plan tomorrow if i dont have time to get a full harness i hope i can get a harness.

I have read everything there is on the EJ swap that i can find including your threads. Both ECUs i have are known good i put them both in my legacy and ran it along with all my other sensors one at a time and all together to double check. I hate asking for help if you cant tell :cool:. But i am stumped i have done at least 5 harnesses and they have worked with little to no issue like a wrongly hooked hot so the car would start but not shut off easily fixed but i'm really stumped on it. Everything is hooked up per the Chux EJ diagram. Everyting that is supposed to be grounded is, the powers (switched and not) all have it where they are required. I am going to the junk yard to snag another harness (I HOPE) and cut it down lightly just to get my car going. I I lost the front tire on my motorcycle going south on evergreen way tonight coming from work the GF has the legacy on the east side of the state and i am now car-less. I do thank you for the help though it is what it is. Cheers Or not Rob.

Nope lol, I checked both my ecu's both good checked all my sensors both relays and the ignitor. The only thing i can think it would be is that diode. It is the plug in style with the grey cap looking thing. Not the little brown flat style. I tested all my parts by putting them in my legacy and they all checked out. I have done a few harnesses and i do not claim to be a wiring wizard, i think there is just something small i am over looking. My ignition relay clicks on but nothing else when the relay clicks on though the IAC clicks at the same time. i have the cover off the relay and can see it function. when i put the power to the back up power wire (b48-15) the relay wont release when the key is turned off. like it powers back through. idk. just at a loss here i have had a lot of trouble with this harness maybe i snipped where i should not have, mistakes do happen. Cheers R.

ok my issue is no spark or fuel i went exactly as the 2.2 swap from chux but no spark or fuel. The grey plug in diode is burned up so how can i fix it aside from finding another? I searched and searched tried new solutions that others have found but no spark or fuel. I keep getting feed back to the car harness also. Any help would be awesome the car ran fine before i parked it and two days later (sat with no battery) and now nothing. Thanks guys. Rob.

Congrats on that slammed wagon man it was pretty neat to see in person. Melissa and i had a great time this year as always. Was really great to take home a prize glad they liked my car there where so many slick cars this year. New mods to come to the hatch cheers everyone! Rob.

The hatch is not perfect running low on funds but got all the tires swapped by hand mounted and painted. she will be there pretty in white. Cheers R.

not a clue on the one i got from you i donated it to Bill (the beast i drive) for a rebuild i ended up buying an engine from an old mexican guy in the lower valley it was sitting in his back yard on a pallet and under a tarp and 3 rugs. The engine runs great! no pics till after the show Cheers R.

And FIXED found a matching plug and hooked in the VSS to the ea81 pig tail coming from the cluster no more cut out WOOT! I love driving my ej hatch. Cheers R.

I will be bringing a pair of 2000 legacy GT headlights and gauge cluster. I might have 3 16" impreza split 5 spokes for sale too all or just singles. I am looking for an old school roof rack for an ea81. as pictured. if anyone happens to have one. Cheers R.

Yeah i have been fighting with the fuel. It did occur to me that i have not hooked up the VSS yet, could that be my issue? Cheers R.
