Talk to Mudrat79, he can make you one.

YES!!!! Now I just gotta find some calipers!

I had the same question about two years ago and for the last year I've been finding cheap subes left and right. Just keep your eyes open and don't be afraid about talking someone out of their car! It took me about a year for my luck to come on full blown, so I guess it just takes time. Be patient and they'll start flocking to you! Doesn't hurt to let people that your into subes and they should tell you if they see one on someone's land or for sale some where.

I've got some pics of a couple of setups. From what I've gathered you basically take the mounts and doner car (Might help to just grab the doner trailing arms) and transfer them to your car.

Go to ebay or look for an STi unit since it won't wear out as fast.

Worn out shifter bushings. take the interior boot AND the rubber boot underneith off the shifter and move the shifter around. You'll see what needs to be replaced.

Haha, not my problem, my RA's problem!

Wow, just what I was looking for! Anyone got more pics like this?

Water in small amounts is ok, as long as there is less water than cylinder volume at TDC. Your engine wont run with that much water, but you wouldn't break anything either.

On the turbo engines, do you really want to run a hot turbo through water? There are people who use turbos offroad. You might want to question them about how it feels with the turbo. only EA82 ('85+) came with rear discs unless they were swapped to an EA81. MPFI should have more accurate metering of the fuel so better mileage and a better mixture to all cylinders resulting in more power in theory. Look at the sticker on the rear diff. If it says LSD then its an LSD. Pretty simple huh? Think of the torsion bar as leaving your rear anti-roll bar on while offroading. In theory the struts will have more travel, but I can't imagine that without making the rear softer because as it sits, the torsion bar and struts have about the same spring rate.

Late model 4WD hatch. You get the bigger valves, vented front rotors, hydro lifters, smallest and lightest body with the least rear overhang. Best starting point, period.

Do a search, its been covered multiple times.

I ment test fitting them physically.

Unless i can get a warrenty clutch and install it in like a day i can't make it.

Short answer, no...

Just want to know if anyone has any other opinions...

pics?

Paul rocks!

Let me get the front suspension from that car and the power steering stuff, mirrors and guage cluster too. If you don't need the rear torsion bar, I'll take that too. It is lower and stiffer, not nearly as good as the regular 4WD torsion bar. I'll be home next weekend, so I can pick the stuff then. PM me and we can talk about pulling this stuff.

Crawl underneath and check, rear diff will say LSD.

Damn, thats pretty sweet! Ok, now for the clincher on the perfect XT6, does it have an lsd rear?

Check underneath for rust!

If its the front, unbolt the inner joint of the lower control arm. If its the rear, unbolt the diff from the chassis so you can drop it down.

I'm thinking of getting mine coated so I won't need to use wrap. I've heard that exhaust wrap will rust your exhaust. I'm planning to take my car in snow, water, mud and I don't want to rust my new exhaust.

Well, EA82 fuel injectors are the same as EA81T, which is what I'm concerned about. So what I would do is go around in the junkyard and take a bunch of fuel injectors and test them on an EA82. I know that someone is working on fuel rails to fit non sube injectors on our engines.
