The stud furthest away from the turbine inlet on the VF-11 and TD series turbos is set further back where as the earlier ones are the same, except that one stud is closer to the inlet. Rob, I feel the pain on the manifold. I had one start coming apart on a trip to Whistler, B.C. a few years back. By the time I got home, I had almost no power. Glad I lightened my passenger load in Bellingham, otherwise I might have overheated it.

Sweetest deal I've heard of all year! Don't you have another XT6? Whats the plan for that one?

Just some FF-1 stuff you might be interested in: http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-WHEELS-Magazine-Jan-1970-Mazda-Jaguar-Subaru_W0QQitemZ290298086182QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Clothing_Merchandise_Media?hash=item290298086182&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A4|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A200

Your nearest Subaru dealer, perhaps?

Will there be any non-lifted activities? Bump for WCSS info.

Good thinking, never would have posted on CL. Also remembered that one of my co-workers dates a Japanese girl and speaks a little too. He helped with a few things, but he can't actually read REAL Japanese characters, just english that has been written in Japanese, so the hunt is still on.

Hahahahahaha, I like that idea.

Show us how to mount 'em then!! Pics please!

What kind of wheels are on the two-toned brumby?

Is it just me or do all those pictures wheels look familiar to anyone else?

Love that old school scooby knowledge. I've got some JDM info brewing, but that will have to wait for another thread. Also, based on the '84 factory specs manual I just picked up that the 1984 1.8 4WD sedan was the A3 vin code. The same manual also specifies that the SOA166 200 and SOA165 630 winch kit should not be fitted to the Turbo models, interestingly enough. I can attest that an EA81T with any sort of cooling problems would not be helped by a winch mounted in front of the radiator.

Wow, I completely forgot about this thread! Glad I found it again. GD, good thinking on the secondary control unit. I think that will probably be the simplest, most cost efficient solution. I've already got a lot going on under the dash on my red wagon, but depending on the size of the control unit, I might be able to spare some real estate on the passenger's side.

Sorry, I have no idea if Sparco makes anything for cars older than about 15-20 years old. I should ask them, maybe tonight when I get home from campus, but I really doubt they will have anything.

I just stumbled across a bunch of Japanese magazines that I can't read. If I were to scan them, who on the USMB could translate them for me?

Same here. Did you ever find out if Sparco seats will mount to those Corbeau mounts? Are the mounts sliders, or fixed?

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to set a deadline for finishing projects, etc.

A few guys I went to high school with had Gen 1 'runners and they swore by them. I think they all still have them, actually. Congrats on the purchase, that looks like one helluva rig right out of the box, best part is, someone else did all the work! Have fun with it!

One could just get new seals from Subaru and refurbish the pump to be installed.

+1, I really like running around in RWD, except for the soft, squishy rear diff mounting bushings, I need to fill them with urethane.

Read this completely and then perform the mods and take lots of pictures. http://www.faberit.com.au/rxrally/Pics/RX_Docs/index.html

ATF and PS fluid are both hydraulic fluids, so it shouldn't matter.

You might be able to get one of the EA82 brackets they make and mod them to fit your car, but I don't see any on their list that would bolt in. Ask them if Sparco seats mount to their brackets without mods. I've got one but like you, don't trust my fabrication skills, or those of my friends for that matter, to keep me safe in the accident I'll inevitably get into.

Third that. M10x1.25 BUT, if you have EGR ports on the bottom of your engine, you need a 60mm long stud. The regularly stocked length at my local dealership was WAY too short.

Wow, that looks a lot like my hatch, minus the EJ and all the powder coated bits. Keep up the good work and take as many pictures as you can!

Momo's was discontinued a LONG time ago. If you bid on those ebay ones, you will probably be contacted by the seller later saying they don't have the correct part. I thought the Grant one was still available, but never liked their steering wheels. If those are both dead, I think you're SOL.
