92 Loyale Battled a Camry :(
Vegablade replied to pheebs314's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yeah cutting it is your best bet. As well as pretty much cutting out that whole corner. -

Aren't the nuts welded to the bumper? Did you just break them off? I have removed my front bumper multiple times, its pretty easy, 4 bolts and the blinker connectors and done. Then again mine has no AC, or PS. -
From Amazon. It works well. Seems pretty accurate. There is a ground wire that comes off of it and when its grounded it turns on. Will probably put a small switch on it. http://www.amazon.com/Xscorpion-DBT024RP-Platinum-Terminal-Terminals/dp/B001RRU726/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1411448322&sr=8-9&keywords=battery+terminal+gauge

Toyota axles with leafs and a tcase?
Vegablade replied to comatosellama's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
This is on a bronco frame. Can't say that I like it but to each his own. -

Anything is possible with enough time and money. As everyone said, you will pretty much have to build a custom frame under the body to support all the components. Do you want this to be an offroad capable rig or do you just want it to look cool? -
A transfercase such as that used in this Brat would be used to switch between 2WD/4WD and to switch 4WD High/Low just like the stock subaru unit only it is seperate from the transmission and would be heavier duty. Also when used behind the subaru transmission would give you a "double low" as you can put both in 4WD Low. It can be SAS or you could use a rear diff up front to keep the parts subaru based. As far as installing one goes, as you can see it is quite involved as you will need to build a subframe to mount it and do a 3 or 4 link if you wanted to go with Solid Axles.

Even if you break it, it would be easier to just fix it than swap your entire running gear. I would suggest finding an OEM RWD car and starting there if you want a 1337 drift mobile.

Oh, this again...... No...There is no simple way to make a push button RWD/4WD happen. Swapping a transfer case with an electrical actuator would be the easiest (Not actually easy). These cars were not designed to be RWD, you will break stock parts doing it. I know because i have done it several times. If you want to tackle such a project start reading and learning and saving lots of money. Also we need the dancing padlock smiley!

The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread

I had 27s before my 29s. It was ok on the flat but definitely had to downshift for the hills in my 5-speed, even with a wever. You may have a hard time with the tall gears in an automatic even with 27s or 26s.
-
Automatic transmissions in these are pretty weak. You will have a hard time pulling hills. Even with a Weber and 5-Speed i have a hard time with anything other then flat ground with 235s, even then I just keep it in 4th.
