hey guys, not sure which ones they actually are, I believe regular rear discs from a later sube, but they were apparently spot welded on foto attached ( i hope i did this right) if not tell me how to post pics.......... plate got torn during 'extraction'..may need new ones :-\ rally or bust -ha ha shanonsf

hey xsnrg, i found one and is 'in the mail' from one of the 'aircraft guys'.... those guys are tweaking EA81s..........wow love to hear get some rally x tips from ya if possible best shanonsf 82 GLW

ha ha , a little understeer then or is that no steer....hehe anyone ever moved the E-brake to the rear?? is it possible? shanonsf

baccaruda, this wrx1ab's old project (parts doner), the three bolts are out. it looks to have spot weld marks and a rusted/fused spot thru the plate, in other words these suckers aint coming off (at least intact) so i am still in need of backing plates................keeping the conversion simple as possible thx shanonsf 82 GLW

hey all the SMOG refs said my intake manifold EGR passage is so clogged that it'll be stupid time-$$ to unclogg. so I need a GOOD intake manifold (clear EGR passage) for an EA81 ASAP don't have time to scower junk yard and gamble.................... let's make a deal!! please help Sube friends thx shanonsf 82 GLW

are these Mintex "Red Box" pads available here in the States? may consider them in the future.... -shanonsf

hey all, I think I need rear disc backing plates to complete my conversion. The ones I have are welded to the arms (RX/XT6?). Not sure if I want to go that deep right now though the sway bar would be nice. If anyone has an extra set to spare I'll buy em ASAP, would like to do conversion buy end on Sept for Rally X!! thx a bunch!! shanonsf 82 GLW

were you doin' laps in 2wd or 4wd? I assume 2wd because of pavement............. anyone ever tried an E-brake turn? I realize that they're up front but curious as to what will happen if ya give it a pull in a tight corner... :brolleye: Shanonsf 82 GLW (gettin' ready for Rally X)

Hey there, That looked like a blast! I'm trying to get my rig (82GLW) ready for a Rally X (Nor Cal) at the end of Sept. Do ya have any pointers for set up, what to bring (plan on consuming) etc. Also what type of scrutineering is done before start. I have both a set of 13" jackmans w/ nice treads and a set of 14" alloy Pugs w/ ok tires and was thinking of experimenting....... is that legal? rally on shanonsf 82 GLW

hey there- (82 GLW) anybody have a preference for brake pads, Idoit's guide says get 'em from the dealer, dealer wants $80 bucks! kragen sells 'em for $30.........also how necessary is the piston wrench?? any input ASAP greatly appreciated!! thx a bunch!! shanonsf 82 GLW (trying to go rallycross'n!)

heloo- I just did this for my 82 EA81........the first new Bosch (part #11027) was a dud and had NO warranty from Kragen....and they no longer stock the unit...$35 wasted..... :moon I got the same unit ($45) from my Sube mech and worked fine...I guess these things are a crap shoot, consider your source... emissions suck shanonsf 82 GLW

Hey there- I recently got one from Kragen for about $60-70 for my EA81T project/storage. It's good to 1500lbs and has 4 fingers. However, I could only use three fingers because of the configuration and seems to be doing fine: solid & rotates well and has engine hasn't dumped on the floor and rolls around nicely...... just my 2 cents, LOL shanonsf

Mr. Spiral guy called me back regarding my application and said it'll make 10-15hp and add about 100 miles to the tank..... I'll defintely let you all know how it goes if/when it goes on this fall. Hell, even it doesn't improve power, the Mpg alone would be worth it as gas around these parts goes to 2.25+ p/gal rally on shanonsf 82GLW

Hey NorCals et al let have some fun!! http://www.sfrscca.org/RallyX/default.htm if there's enough of us 80s folk, maybe we can start our own class "Classic Sube" -4wd, 100hp or less, ha ha be there or be square -shanonsf 82 GLW

ok NorCal people- the gauntlet is thrown- who's the quickest - Brat or GLW........ we are all bone stock right now anyway........... thunderhill rallycross, cones & clocks, $35 bucks, bring/borrow helmet, and a cooler!! details: http://www.sfrscca.org/RallyX/default.htm hope ya'll can make it, there's a couple of RX's showing up too.... rally on -shanonsf

hey there, pardon my ignorance, what would be the benefit of putting an EA81T intake on a n/a ea81? are there any other parts that would be worth considering bolting onto the n/a EA81 from the EA81T? I have a EA81T on the stand that is probaly not going into the car ........ building a rally crosser shanonsf 82 GLW rally wagon

hey brian- finish...?! who cares, I haven't touched mine beyond the smog crap the parts are chillin, thought I'd do a stock day (maybe a Pug wheel swap test) then start switchin' stuff out start time comparisons....blah blah gotta learn to drive gravel first, then start tweakin'...walk before ya run.. come on you can make it..... -shanonsf BTW- how do post pics in the gallery?

Hey Brian- Just do it, especially where you are where its HOT! I notice a solid temp drop when I put mine on, Hoods are cheap anyway........ then come Rallycrossing w/ me next month at Thunder Hill- http://www.sfrscca.org/RallyX/default.htm let's show the Next Gen's how fun the "classic's" are... and its a Sube sponsored event, could be good PR for the USMB... rally on -shanonsf 82 GLW (rally cross poject?)
