back from the dead:grin:........oh, your gonna love this......cheers, brian

....it has been SEEN......

eggzachary....what he said^

that is a stock crawl ratio for a subie.well, with a 5speed D/R. 3.545 1.59 3.70 ,3.90 , 4.11 , or 4.44 x3.9 is 21.98blah blah blah:1 x4.11=23.166:1 cheers, brian

oh, i read some thing wrong. nevermind.good luck machining lockers.that should be fun.cheers, brian

what are you going to use as joints?because i found a source of them in canada.let me know.cheers, brian

you need, first gear in soob 3.545 low range in soob 1.59 the diff ratios 0.00? and the lowest range from the bike trans, which would be first gear 0.00 =crawl ratio cheers, brian

To the top for opinions.if you have not run both , only speak of which you have run.if you have not run either, don't even try......i don;t want "my buddies jeep wrangler has a locker and it is cool....." we are talking about subarus.and subarus only.......this is not a debate as to which is better.this is an informative selection of statements.cheers, brian

well, i did not plan to drive mine on the road .....i guess i can make it legal......thats just lights and such. subie body , subie engine. sounds like a plan scott. ANY OTHER RULES?cheers, brian

if you are not confident in using that unit, i will gladly take it . and yes , those are shims.they are utilized to "center" the ring gear to the pinion..... cheers, brian by the way, next time you have to drill one again( i have never had to drill one, so it is weird that a bunch of folks have)i would suggest using some duct tape with some newspaper to cover the innards.

NO sealant........it will ruin your side lash.the lsd swap right up is still around ya know.:grin:cheers,brian

i've seen that brat before, you got any folks that are into toyotas? oh, and the good thing about having to make driveshafts that work is 6.5:1 t-case gears.............cheers, brian

you can use any torsion bar from 80-89 in brats and hatches 80-84 in wagons, sedans, and coupes.front or 4wd, will net you the same torsion bar.it is a double doj , so it adheres the same on both sides, with a stub.....it will roll on its own.cheers, brian

quit theorizing and start building.......it is the only thing that you can gain experience from..."but , but , but i wanna build it right the first time" get over it....just build something!start small, model size.use some things like ten speed bikes as resources.....come on.you wanna do some math, do that math.....

faqfrequentlyaskedquestionsisthereforareason..............

************inG sick! no clutch? cheers,brain

right, but there has to be a tool to get the clutch off of the EJ.i mean.there is a recessed area that is threaded....cheers, brian

i propose we actually try to straighten this thread out.and talk business.i don't really want a competition amongst a bunch of people.this should remain between scott and i , as it started out as. i don't think with all of the effort going in that we have enough people to actually coordinate a true competition.unless someone pipes up with a proven low stress format............. it is a friendly poke the bear kinda thing.i will talk about coordinating with the staff of wcss to have a mention of it at the show too, or something. but what we need now, is a format for that. i suggest we both state what base rules we want. i want basically an unlimited class.......like racecars.must maintain subie motor subie body , at least a windshield that is stock roo. rtc..... cheers, brian

does anyone have the fsm's for either of these.or know how to get the clutches off? the ea81 compressor is a york model, by borg warner.i am going to use it as an air coimpressor, i need to change the pulley over to the ej one.how do i get it off?regular ol' 3 jaw or what?cheers, brian

i just put a zooki samurai universal joint into an ea trans input: seems to work, heres my logic.they are one mil apart in size.the bigger ones are the zooki.....so ,m they are just a tad tighter in the hole.there are no signs of bind at all.they are brand new u joints.cheers , brian

hey , are you from the marlin board? and i am currently doing the sammi t-case.it is a little bit better option i think for upgrades.500 for gears as opposed to something like 1200 for gears for the nissan , from calmini. i have done some finaglin and have found that the subie, and zooki universal joints are very close in size.i bought some sammi u joints, and have installed a subie trans snout to a zuki jack shaft.

i use lucas. one tube of lsd additive is fine.then fill with gear oil, until the ol' dipstick can feel it(pinky in the top hole)...cheers, brian

i have it!it will be the most dangerous trophy evAR!the golden pinion!(i'll paint it gold)

we know we need rules.mick suggested a format.cheers, brian

that is excellent mick.thanks for volunteering to judge!between you and zap it had better be fine rigs.see ya late june? and i say we do evans creek again.we can run the comp on saturday.all we need is two to make a class , so. that could work out well. excellent ideas.....lets keep'em comin... cheers, brian
