Thanks for the intel I have had subys most of my life and have read a ton of the HG threads so I feel that I should be able to id I plan to go over it with " a fine tooth comb" Is there a way to test the coolant for exhaust on site. Ya know like a water test kit colors and such

Good Idea:headbang: I dont know if the seller will let me take it

Ok so I am looking @ a 2002 legacy sedan with 2.5 it has 50k I just wanted to know if there is anything to look for ie. 2.5 head gaskett problems forrester wheel bearring recalls any other wierd problems yaa know things of that nature I am buying this car for my father so I want to make sure that it is soild so I dont have to deal with an angry old man any insight would be great thanks

ok so i pulled the fuse panel and the fuses 9-10 had three wires attached but no power so I jumed power from an empty fuse location now I have lights but the brights wont work buy them selves but will work if you just flash them I ran out of tme but will try to figure the rest out tomarrow thanks for your help

yea well when I started this project I did a little research to see if there was any thing to watch for no one else has had this problem I cheched all of the fuses first thing when it did not work the vehicle had some severe problems so Im begining to think that the lights did not work before I started this I am going to go out and see if I can figure it out after breakfast ill keep ya posted

cool I will check it out this car has sat for a long time Im not even sure if the lights worked when i bought it drove it home and parked it could be the switch dont have any others to test as of now

OK so Im going from a two square to 4 square I have all of the work done I just can not get the lights to turn on I switched the wires and plugs in the engine compartment form the harness is there a seperat relay for 4 light or is there somthing else I need to change ant in put would be grand thanks

you aint coming over here suka fish its sucker fish free over here:horse:

Jerry to; me that you use an 84+ea81 fly wheel an 85 six spring ea82 friction plate and an 84+ pplate did you get the kit from him if so then you use the 81 shifter if not than you use the 82 shifter[with the ea81 trans crossmember with the 82 trans bushing on it all three and your right on with the washer shims hope this helps quote=Jibs]What have other's done with Jerry's 5 speed kit as per the clutch? I know I need an ea82 clutch disc, but are there any other ea82 clutch stuff I need to get the Brat rollin? Any tricks or anything? Jerry told me to use 2 lock washers on the bolts for the starter cause the ea82 starter needs to stick out 90 thousandths more, but anything else? OH - I use the ea81 4wd shifter right? BTW - Jerry's kit is AWESOME!

O YEA of course thanks for the heads up though

Ok that settles it unless some one else has another outlook Thanks

OK so I have a 5 speed D/R gear box and a 5 speed full time box with the locking center diff. My question is wich should I use for my lifted brat currently i has an ea81 with a webber and cam but it is going the route of the 2.2 This car is built for the trails and wont see much pavement Also I am running a LSD Any input would be awsome Thanks

You need the large ea81 fly wheel ,pressure plate Then you need the friction plate from an 85 ea82 with six springs use the ea82 clutch fork and throw out you have to mount the ea82 trans mounts to the ea81 crossmember And I believe that you need a drive line made and 46 inches of tubing would work (brastarus1) will know fo sure on drive line lenght Brats are us( jerry) makes a kit for it you should get a hold of him and see if you can work it out

HIjack Yo kid you have a pm
