  1. I've searched, but all the posted links are dead. who's got this? is it hosted anywhere? or just email it to me at Numbchux (at) gmail.com
  2. I won't be there, and neither should anyone else in the state of MN with 4WD.....but there probalby won't be that great of a turnout :-\ http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53729
  3. bump. We'd like for this to be a huge event, so let's get people out there. doesn't have to be subaru people, anyone willing/interested in wheeling their vehicle. there will be experience people there to guide trail rides, so you won't get stuck on something much harder than you're able to go on. here's the thread on MN-Jeep: http://www.mn-jeep.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5136
  4. I've tried the legacy inner joint onto EA82 shaft.....couldn't make it work, it might be possible, but not easily. the loyale was NA FWD 3AT I know where there's an '86 FWD 3AT GL-10 turbo wagon in a junkyard. will these axles work?
  5. more pics: this might have a good diagram of the vacuum lines.... http://wombat.sevarg.net/Subaru/HTKYSA.PDF
  6. first off....this should go in the old gen forum, and will probably get moved....but you'll get used to that. Here they are, as promised:
  7. wait....any EA82t with a 5-speed?! even FWD? calebz, if the FWD ones work, I'll have a pair from the junkyard for cheap.....but if not, or if the car isn't there anymore, what do you want for yours?
  8. OK, pretty much the last thing I need for my RX tranny swap into my loyale....the axles. so turbo subarus are pretty rare, even in junkyards around here. so I would like to know which models will have these? is it just all FT4WD 4-cyl EA82s? or did some PT4WD cars have them? yes, I searched, couldn't seem to think of any search keywords that didn't get me 85 billion threads to sort through....
  9. +eleventy-billion and KickAssFlash's mustang is quite possibly the fastest car I've ever ridden in, either that, or his brother's mustang......or my buddies ver 4 STi swap He's at a dyno day this morning, and is going to pick up an '88 GL Wagon that needs some engine work this evening. Don't worry, he'll have that jeep sold in no time
  10. A buddy of mine has an aftermarket turbo timer on his 2.5RSt, it shows his speed, so I suspect yours has the same option, but since there is no electric speed sensor (that I know of anyway ) this option just isn't available on your XT.
  11. Heat. it sounds like you got the inner side off the diff, but are having trouble with the outer side. which, btw, unless you've converted it, is a CVJ, not a DOJ. anyway, if you heat up the metal right over the stub, it'll expand, and come off easier. Mapp works quite well, Acetalene works better if you have access.
  12. goood doggy!! why would he still one of the only lifted subaru sedans in the country.....an incredibly high profile vehicle??? Was your RX there? that would've been a much better target!
  13. he's talking about his Jeep......he just follows me and fishbiker down the trails and wishes he had a subaru
  14. oh yea, probably, the one we did was an auto, so it wasn't an issue
  15. we just did this with my dad's '92 legacy. It's SUPER easy. all the wiring is already there don't forget the brake pedal switch. we forgot that, and it won't work without it.
  16. I do have a 2" diff shim, but it's in the front, it doesn't effect the clearance by more than a 1/2" I think the answer is those accord springs you're running. When I had my rear extensions adjusted for another inch or so, it was all ground clearance, but that was before I had the diff shim, so it killed one axle, and wounded another....
  17. 4" AA high clearance lift 28" tires a bit over 12" at the front xmember almost 13" at the rear diff 3" BYB lift 29" tires 11" front (big skidplate that covers the y-pipe cuts almost an inch off of that) almost 12" rear both '88 EA82 wagons
  18. the lug pattern is the same, the only question is if it would fit over the brakes. check the third number in the tire size on those tires, and on yours to find the diameter of the wheels, if it's the same, or bigger, chances are pretty good that they'll fit, if they're smaller, you might want to try them first.
  19. thanks for the vote of confidence man.....but I highly doubt that is true! There are some amazing drivers here, especially those out in Washington!
  20. my buddy had a return line welded onto his oil pan for when he added a turbo....so it can be done I'm soooo protective of my oil pan, it can really keep my abilities limited, cause I'm worried about doing that to my oil pan, or worse
  21. don't forget soobme/TWB! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47904 and do a little research before you send Mudrat any money.....he's been banned because of his business practices... lifts: http://www.ozified.com http://www.sjrlift.com http://www.alliedarmament.com
  22. that's a great story and all......but in Minnesota anyway, it's a felony, and you could loose the vehicle used.
  23. I reiterate: the FAQ is no longer stickied....I don't know why, so I even did a little searching for you: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24980 there's a search button near the top of the page
  24. yea, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get those from you next, but I'll be in touch... that's a great idea!! we should do that!
  25. lifts for old subarus are blocks, it's a body lift. you can't get more than an inch or so with just springs, and that's through tougher springs, which will cause substantially worse performance offroad 4-lug subarus virtually never came with 14" wheels in the US (I only know of 1 set for sure, but there's probably a couple more) camber is not adjustable on them. unless you go building yourself custom longer control arms, which would need longer axles, and probably longer tie rods I have one wagon with 3" of lift (not including tires), and another with 4". both running ~28" tires. if you're getting serious at all, 3" is not enough! good advice on the motor.....but for an EA82, that's WAY too much money, if you're going to spend that kind of money/effort.....do an EJ swap. if you don't want to put that much work into the motor, start removing stuff that doesn't work/you don't need. A/C, mechanical fan (as long as you have an electric one, and the rest of the cooling system works fine), DONT remove power steering, the previous owner of one of my wagons removed the power steering on it, and I hate it. for a car that's built to be maneuverable at slow speed, it's crucial. also, make sure it has a good ignition system, do the whole thing, coil, disty cap and rotor, wires, and plugs. it'll help alot.
