    I don't think the Loyale stuff will bolt on if I remember correctly. You'd have to swap to loyale hubs too, which involves swapping to loyale everything and there's a bit of mixing and matching parts to make that all work. But you do get a wider front end if you do so.

    It's not an STi underneath. It's all Impreza but not STi. They have 4.44 final drive. Both 5spd and the auto. And have a VLSD 4.44 R160 rear diff. The motor is similar to what came in an STi, and the 04 you can actually plug and 04 STi ecu right in, of course you'll want to use the other stuff to go along with it. I did this to mine. STi turbo, intercooler, ecu, everything. And then did the full 6 spd swap with brembos and the R180. It was awesome.

    Forester xt got the R160 like every other Subaru except for the STi.
  5. bratman18
    Yes. STi is R180. No Subaru has come with an R200.

    You could probably throw some 1 inch spacers on top of the struts without changing anything else.

    It'll be the same on the L as it was on your OBS. You'll want the trailing g arm brackets for a GC bodied car.
  8. bratman18
    You don't NEED rear camber bolts. There is enough adjustment in the lateral links to align it. The trailing arm brackets are a good idea, but again, aren't absolutely necessary, but will help to center the tires and fit bigger ones. If you plan on going with more than outback struts, than you definitely want the brackets.

    That's what I have. It takes some practice for sure.

    Don't try to do steady beads. Lots of little spot welds is the way to go on thin sheet metal. And then slowly fill in the gaps.

    This was the bumper for my BRAT.

    I'll grab some pics soon. And no, not at this time anyway. I've been struggling with my ej swap for over a year now and it won't run right. So if I can't get it going, the carb'd set up will be going in.
  13. bratman18
    I don't have pics of that. I can only take pics of it all together. I have a fully assembled and ready to run carb'd ej22.

    Filing, not filling. You need to file the flange on the bottom of the district to get it to fit into the hole on the back of the head and to get it to fit all the way into the slot. You'd have to pull the little cap off to see if it has the slot or not.
  15. bratman18
    Also, the access as I said is on the rear of the passenger side head. But you need to make sure the cam is slotted. The escort carb needs slight modification to fit tightly into place. Just some filing does the trick. And the intake manifold doesn't just accept a carb. It needs custom machine work and then an adapter welded in place.

    It's not about Obd1 and obd2, it's about phase 1 and phase 2. Ej18 and phase 1 ej22 will be pretty much the same. Phase 1 ej22 goes from 89-most 98's. But the ej22 only has the slotted cam up to 95 and maybe some 96's from what I'm told. I'm not sure if the Ej18 has the slot in the passenger side cam to drive the escort diety or not.

    You should take a pic of how it looks without all the crap.
  18. bratman18
    I want to do that to mine. There's way too many hoses and crap running everywhere.
  19. bratman18
    You'll only get 2-2.5" of lift with the forester struts and springs. You should really stick to those springs or similar length on those struts. The additional lift comes from bigger tires. I don't run a rear sway bar on my lifted cars. The front works just fine as is. But yeah, if you wanted to run the rear sway, you could probably use longer links or bigger brackets. And yeah, you can use the outback or forester rear trailing arm bracket to Re center the rear wheel.
  20. bratman18
    You only need different top hats for the rear. Or you could drill holes and isn't all them complete. The front has camber bolts already and even without the body lift, alignment can be adjusted in spec the way it is.
  21. bratman18
    Cut it off.
  22. bratman18
    It says 95 legacy in the title

    I used EA82 bolts. I know this because the EA82 motor was toast so I swapped in the ea81, and just swapped everything from the EA82 onto the ea81.
  24. bratman18
    Get a good used one.
  25. bratman18
    No, just the cruise switch.
