I am looking at the AW4 Jeep tranny.TheTH400 as well. Some of that stuff is beyond my scope of tools.So far anyway.... but I will continue to look at options in automatic trans configurations until I find one that I like. The Nissan auto would be an easier option as it is basically the same body as out 4EAT.However there is no aftermarket for it anymore.At one point Advance adapters had a plate to offer for an Atlas t-case behind that setup. It doesna seem like they do anymore, or abandoned the project....They do however have one that will fit the little bit later Titan line.Not the same setup as far as I can find. I did forget about that thread.thanks Chux! cheers

As usual, things change with my builds.I decided to put more effort into the 13 buggy.I will keep an auto in this car, but am looking for a 4.44.I need this car as a DD for a while.She is not a trail beast, but I am sure will hold her own. I am currently waiting for someone to pay me back a bit,which will hopefully net me a rear LSD, instead of welding it.But that seems like a long shot....so. I do more onroad activity now adays.I still get out and romp on her., But until my truck is cheaper to drive , I will only romp so hard. I def. notice the gas mileage diff..And would like better, but I just love how she looks with bigger tires.That is more important to me than MPG. cheers

second time I looked at this thread, It said 44......Just sayin.:-pcheers, B

There is always , Me ,Myself, and I as OffRoo'd......I need a photographer.........

I thought that it would be notable to say that I just looked at this thread and it had been checked out by 13 people:-p;) And I forgot to mention that 4.88's are the gear choice. And messed up the shock photos... cheers

I have started a new thread, that relegates what is REally happening with this build. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1058458#post1058458

That is what I am calling the buggy now.It may not be attempt number 13, but it is that creepy.:-p Lets recap , as the last thread grew out of a billion things to this. What we have so far: chassis, .120 wall 1.5 " DOM tubing..... The 37" meats the steering The suspension!2" and 14" Fox air shox The original layout,Ej22,5spd D/R,with 6.5 to 1 Zooki t-case. I wanted an auto, and more power.SoI just acqiured a Twin Turbo Ej engine, Am looking into Auto options like the AW4 Jeep trans, as well as others.This opens up the options for different T-cases. The H1 wheels with centers cut out , next to the new 6 lug centers.And a mock up. I went through so many transitions with the last thread , that I thought it would be good to regulate, and get to the basics of what is REALLY happening... WEll, this is it...LOL I keep gathering parts and waiting for a place to build this damn thing.Changing small things on the way as usual. I am up to Toyota axles with lockers, chromos, and my own fab for trussing and gussets... Much more to come.I will be moving soon,and one of the major concerns is getting shop space/garage to work on this thing!!! cheers

So I was able sandblast my H1 rims, get the centers cut out, and order some new centers to get better offset and the Toyota bolt pattern.All I need now is some rock rings.. I had to mock one up:clap: I should be able to get these mounted by the time I leave,hopefully. cheers

Dig it.Thats cool man.Way to go.Now get to shortenin that exhaust! :-p cheers

I finished trimming the rear up.Gotta add some moulding.then pics. Yeah Superu, A good mate (Mugs)helped me out buy resealing and gasketing the motor.He has had it for like a week or so.Maybe two, ************ I can't remember.:-p It runs without codes now.We had to mongaloid some exhaust gaskets to mate the header.I will take care of that this week too.New gaskets Should take care of it. Then since I am in there I should actually put in the STI exhaust. I think I need to make a couple of hangers and such.But whatever. The secret squirrel is turning out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.I am really excited about it. cheers

welp, Just got done puttin a freshly regasketed engine in.Dirty intake and all.Runs pretty good really.The regular bumps and humps one gets sometimes.After she cycles through her process she will be fine. Also trimmed the other front fender . Will get to the other rear fender tomorrow.Also workin on a couple other things. I wanna figure out "the mystery sound".... But other than that The regular stuff I also did some of the normal frond end trimming.. While the engine was out I rerouted the front end wiring harness so it is no longer hanging down like you see there. moar pics tomorrow. cheers

It came with 3.0, 3.4, and one JDM that I can find that was 2jz...but that is according to the Wiki.don't know how much faith I'd have in that.

I dunno who you been talkin to, BUT they must know me:-p well, the story goes, that you can take an AW4 transmission, USE an A340f or h Auto bellhousing, and You have a jeep auto trans, which allows for the use of diferent transfer cases.Such as, a Dana 300, or an Atlas. My mind is still trying to get around the fact that the Manuals cannot be TO much different than the Auto trans at the trans side for mounting. cheers, B

I should be finished trimming up the fendeers this weekend.She will probably see a new motor as well, maybe some new tires by the end of itall........ Spit, one of the key factors I think is the Outback lift that i have up front.But I still rub at the back of the front wheelwell.Figuring a verry large sledge will find it's way in there eventually. I still have a ton to do that I even have parts for already.Lights, CB, Sticks,one of my Diff covers, etc, cheers

So Bill, have you looked at any toyota Auto transmissions?I was curoius if this might bolt to one, or if it is close enough to try it. cheers

Isn't that the bestest feeling EVAR!!!!Looks good man.I weent wheeling in our 93 Runner and wished it had more juice.It was a 3.slo though.It seems that I just acquired a whole heep of HP for the Huggy .I am pretty excited that i will be able to have some wheel spin with power behind it.:drunk:cheers

sweet, I hate you guys:-p

Wow, you thought for yourself.You want a sticker?

Oh she is cut up like a cooked hog at a birthday party.... The struts are from an 07 Forrester.The weight difference is pretty significant from that model year to ours.It may be only a couple of hundred pounds, but it is enough to give me a stiffer ride even without a swaybar. I have one inch spacers also, If I did not these 235's would be to close for comfort.She is comin along.I am loving her with the squeeking gone. cheers

down vote http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-37701.html says "Most of the strength of a cylinder comes from the outer portions. I think the contribution goes like the cube of the radial position. So, if you took a solid rod and drilled out a half the volume from the center, you do not lose half the strength. Strength to weight ratio is better for a hollow pipe than a solid rod." The definition for the second moment of inertia I c for a filled and hollow cylinder can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area: I c =∫∫ A y 2 dxdy=∫ R 0 ∫ 2π 0 r 2 dϕrdr=πr 4 4 The surface area of the filled cylinder is: A=πr 2 Compare filled and hollow cylinder of equal mass: s c =I c A =r 2 4 , cylinder with fractional internal radius r i =xr o and x<1 : s h =I h A =r 4 (1−x 4 ) 4r 2 (1−x 2 ) =r 2 (1−x 2 )(1+x 2 ) 4(1−x 2 ) =r 2 (1+x 2 ) 4 >s c . This means a hollow cylinder is stronger than a rod of equal mass and the same material. A hollow cylinder with a bigger inside diameter is better. In the limit x→1 the hollow cylinder is twice as strong. Note that this limit isn't physically viable as it would be an cylinder with infinite radius and infinitesimally thin wall. However it is useful to define the upper limit of the second moment of inertia. I didn't expect the increase in strength only a factor of two.

All mounted up.Test fitted.I am happy.The Forester struts in conjunction with the 1" spacers is gonna be a no interference relationship for strut spring mount, and tire.AWES OME......... That means less work in the end.Well, kinda. This is the largest tire I will ever put on this car.So, with that in mind, I can concentrate on trimming and tidying up the fenders. And then commit to certain things that I am trying to put off for a bit.......like bumpers. cheers

I did, I thought I sent you a thank you PM....sorry...:-pYES, and AWESOME....I am almost ready for that project;). But before that I need to make her reliable in a biblical sense.. Which I am currently fairly on top of it. Like i said , I bought the first set of new tires I have ever put on a subaru I think.....Maybe one set before.But I usually buy used Lt truck tires and ruun them out.....:DMy wife gets new tires when she needs them;) I will be adding a skosch of lift to add the tires, and I will finish clearanceing the fenders.... Then I will get a couple of weeks off from school, and I will see how I feel about doing something FUn on her... Finally... cheers..

Ok, so I have an engine getting resealed.I replaced the rear links with some ebay specials .NO mor esqueeky squeeky I will be mounting a set of new 235's this week.May have to actually pu tthe blocks in I been workin on. I am looking forward to adding a little weight to her to settle out the struts some more.They are a little stiff for the weight of the car I think. Pics soon....;)cheers<me

I think Mikie was talkin about theses..... Nexen Roadian M/T's. I just picked a set of these up......yet to mount them. cheers.

Quitter!....
