Dual Carbs?!?! Thats twice the headache! The Turbo has more powa anyway. More on topic... I don't want to do a rally:-p

Question! On my list of things to do is to hook up the Tach... How might I do that? On the LGT diagram, there are 2 wires that go from the ECU to the "custom CPU" in the dash that runs the spedo and the tach... Any ideas? On a farther note, I've been EXTREMELY lazy.. I fixed the exhaust, and have just been driving it! Its getting about 30 MPG or so with me driving it pretty hard. When ever it rains or snows I'm sure to slide it around and do some fatty burnouts. On the list of other things I have to do is: Hook up the oil pressure gauge redo the interior windows switch issues well, mostly just interior junk...

With my EJ25 AWD Rx with rear LSD I can do about 3k dumps and get all four to give me some spin... I couldn't imagine driving it around in FWD:burnout:

I've seen a few "Star Edition" cars here in CO... they are usually black 3rd gen coupes with a number/500 on the back end... nothing else special.

yellow FTW:banana:

Note the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3pnaY1yg60 I only got about 6 pics....

I don't feel like hitting a store that early... is there a safeway or kings or something near your house... maybe we can get a count and I'll host free rides to go get da foods... I just don't want to over prepare like we normally do:banana:

I had mine shortened by 1 7/8" (I think, I could check to be 100% if you like) I just had it done locally and it cost me about $80. The EJ series stuff is totally different and I preferred the EA junk... easier to take apart...

I'll bring a rail of burgers and some dogs... Maybe I'll "con" Roni into driving the 6 up there for me so I can have both my coupes there:banana:

Maybe I'll follow you to your house after the meet with my checkbook and we can make some "arrangements"

Anyone want a third gen hood with a scoop traded for a stock hood... I tire of my scoop now... Just wait till you guys see my Rx... it gets more badarse by the day...

Ha ZA! Magically, it doesn't leak...

My LSD works great off road...

Close... I actually snagged a stock one off a early 90s legacy... Here it is: Now the front section that bolts by the strut rod is WAY too wide for the old car so I used its front stock piece, used an existing hole, looked drilled bolted, called it good... Then I slapped it under the car... I had/have another problem... the rear section is a little wide as well... Lets just say I didn't really solve it... I bolted up one side good and tight and let the other side "hang" a bit... The mount is very solid, just doesn't have all the bolts in it... If I get spanky someday I might just drill some holes in the car and bolt up the other side.... Here it is installed:

So I wired the Alternator wrong. :oops: I used the Rick method of wiring and put the two black wires together since I have no diagram for a newer subarus alt... ATM when the battery and alt are hooked up, the alt draws about 4 amps and flats the battery in a few hours.... not that great. I know that the top nut(power out) on the alt is getting power. The alt has 3 pins, but the plug only uses two.. I connected black to black and blue to like yellow... the outer pin on the plug also gets 12 volts and the center pin gets none... should I just switch them? It WILL be at the meet provided I get the alt all sorted out.... As far as the EJ linkage... its out of a WRX... It took that, and a welder:Flame: heres some pics: The stab bar I left alone if you look at the pic above, I used some iron to hold it to the car: The shifter link I took the stock WRX on one side, got my length and welded the 96 impreza(my tranny) on the other side... I think I had to shorten it quite a bit.

I chose the EJ25 for 3 reasons... fuel milage, powA, and price... I scored this one for $400 for helping the guy I got it from with his swap:banana: (EJ20T into a 2000 LGT) I used a 3.9 ratio impreza AWD transmission... I chose the 3.9 because I then swapped my LSD from a 3.7->3.9 which is a cake swap... that way I could keep my clutch type LSD:burnout:

I used sealing tape and got a 5/8ths T... worked great I think... when I turn on the heat it drops and the gauge is kinda slow to read... .

Some may call it a neutered Rx... but hey... On the initial test drive I was doing AWD burnouts! 88 Rx with EJ25 Made my own wiring harness Wrx shifterish Da movie! If anyone wants more pics... I have them:banana:

It runs:brow:

air filter, O2 sensor, oil change... Also realize that higher profile vehicles with now wider tires increase your air drag greatly. My MPG dropped once I got my lift and tires on as well.. I was getting a cool 32 MPG or so stock and now I can barely make 25 MPG... I don't see it as too much of an issue...

Sweet... those rims are pimp on the BRAT...

The plastic T doesnt leak?

What abouts the block?

Nope... I have to skip this one... I got a new job and cannot get the time off right away... I'll be back 2008 though.

My two cents is go EJ... I loathe the EA82T, I've had quite a few and none of them hold together, not even in stock form... my SPFI EA82 is a billion times more reliable. I wanted more power in my Rx, I added an intercooler and before I could do anything else, the HGs blew out of the blue. Now its almost done with an EJ25 swap... not the best engine ever, but I got it cheap.
