  1. sounds like fun but I have previous engagements.. I will let a few other people know though
  2. oh man gary... I need to find those pics of the front diff plug from the car I got from jason after he smashed it into a curb or whatever... :eek: I'll look for them now
  3. when we put tires on dad's jeep, the kuhmos were pretty cheap
  4. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=29014 *shrug*
  5. try legacycentral... that's the largest group of t-leg owners I've found.. for sure someone has swapped in a weaker tranny and blown it up
  6. this is what I've found while searching, with links: (damn someone needs to put this in the USRM ) Jeff, I am not sure how close to Colorado Springs you are but there was a mid-80s 200sx in the yard east of 25 near B street (Fort Carson). Grab the rear calipers and be happy. You will need to use the piece from the subaru that bolts into the backing plate as the one on the Nissan is too fat. And as mentioned in the thread you looked up , you will also need to figure out a handle and routing of the cable. My new brakes might be done this weekend but the ebrake part is going to have to wait until I get a couple of more pieces. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56567 I would like to say, that I have a complete working rear ebrake. Corky helped me finalize the bracketry on Sunday. I did this so I could run larger front brakes... JDM WRX brakes (only 2 pots). The rear brakes are from a 1980 Supra. Pictures and demonstrations will come in another post at a later date... I must confess, the rear e-brake that Tex installed was my idea and parts, but since I sold my sedan, I didn't have a car to put them on. Tex figured out how to use the existing e-brake cables, so that part is fairly easy. But bracing the ends of the cables so that there is no flex when you pull the hand brake is the trick. Tex ended up using brackets from the front e-brakes. But I'm telling his story, I'll let him fill in the rest. ^^ I didn't see where he filled in the rest, though I have calipers off a 240.....they will bolt up with a SMALL (1mm) bit of filing of one bit of material off of ONE of the two ears on the caliper.....

  7. just got your PM on xt6.net and then found this thread... I have NO idea what I was thinking when I made that post? let me check my notes... <edit> ok, so I have a damn million text files on my shell account here at work.. fenderbraces, er27intohatch, builtej22t, lego-to-imp-swap, retrofittedbushings, gasket_list, suspension, transmount, turboxt6 BUT WHERE DID THE DAMN FILE ABOUT BRAKES GO!? <hopefully last edit> I must have found it in a search somewhere, but why wouldn't I have written it down? makes no sense, I tells ya...... THE SEARCH IS ON
  8. yep, rocks, gravel, dirt, once in a while grass (!!! man that's nice ) my best advice has already been said a couple of times... get yourself some corrugated cardboard, and a piece of carpet.. it really absorbs the points of the rocks and things
  9. really great ideas! I hope this works out well for you... I know where there is a '62 beetle body and a few er27's..
  10. sad to hear, but glad you're alright.. good luck with the whole her having whiplash thing
  11. this made me literally laugh out loud.. now all the people in the library think I'm even more insane
  12. you could have told me and I would've taken it off your hands for a song let me know if you find these freebies up here in my neck of the woods, you could end up with a finder's fee
  13. you are linking us to your hard drive.. which we cannot access try photobucket.com or similar
  14. hard to say how many there are... but I was going to tell you to look it up by part number, so I can't help try it on your OBS though... can't hurt, right?
  15. agreed. I'll need some concrete evidence of this "sliding" that occured
  16. people have been known to use duct tape, occasionally.. in order to get by
  17. you will LLLLLOOOOOVEEEEEEEE the snow :headbang:
  18. I think they are saying that 1982 subaru brats suck... why else would one be in hell?
  19. I'm interested in this as well.. I'm going to bring one of mine to a driveshaft shop and have it rebuilt with joints like gary did
  20. +1 for the red top... 'tis what I'm running in the xt6 and has sustained many similar abuses
  21. I always keep a piece of carpet and some cardboard (clutch kit box works good!) in the trunk of the xt6 because you never know what you'll have to lay in to work on your car.. the cardboard also works good to stick on the engine side of the radiator when you are doing timing belts etc so a rogue tool doesn't cause you more problems. wooden blocks are always handy prybar of some type I'll add more later
