i bout accord rear springs and temo/topaz front springs (the front springs look like they will not work so well) look to big FORD ESCORT(1985 - 1989) FORD TEMPO(1985 - 1994) MERCURY LYNX(1985 - 1987) MERCURY TOPAZ(1985 - 1994) then i couldnt find my spring compressors so i went and got a new one (what a pos) it was the only one they had

in my quest to find subaru parts to build my buggy i ended up with a 86 dl i want the trany out of (a non hi/lo 5 speed) so i hafta lift it and drive it a bit. so here is my lift attempt

just build the brat or find a complete hatch there is no point saving you body if you dont want to do the paper work just mover the dash into what ever new body you get save the time and head ache of welding the sheet metal and $$$

how come this is the only reference to to this mod i can find

the pics are not working for me :-(

ok this its been done and works good. i may be able to get one for you but the chain makes a little noise so was never put into production . how ever there is a new design may be works

well i may have found a shop that may pick up the hole bill for the ring gears and sell me one out of the batch. waiting on the details and test's working with the same shop to improve on there reverse automatic i came up with a design to do that and they may want to run with it

a good name that might get the vw guys attention? Subaru Out Back (SOB) or may get me sued by subaru

have a place that will make quality ring gear left cut to match stock pinion for 200$ i just need 199 more people that want one, willing to pre pay and wait for them to be made

i could just do a transfer case and have done with it

you ever get the front tire off the ground taking off in first on the pavement? or revers wheelies?

just have them shipped to a Washington member and drive down and get them im a little south in ravensdale

power steering pump to move extra oil?

ok had this wild idea hit me out of the air (again this was just a random (very random) thought) now todd proved why you can flip the hole trany (u cant mount the engine) but what about flip the engine and tranny the only cation would be oil but if u made a remote oil pick up plug some holes turn the drain hole into a fill hole cut the intake and 4 side draft cabs the big thing would be getting oil to it like i said i was driving down the road mind wondering

yah trans is my hold up too

ive looked at this a few times i like it just not what im after http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/137486-its-buggy-time-agian/page-4 didnt see any thing on the rear engine buggy you built

some good ideas but i want to hold this heading for a bit longer and if it runs aground im going to drop in a transfer case and keep running with it when you built ur buggy how did you flip the dif? any pics? very interested in more info!!! im going to be running a stock n/a motor 1.8 or 2.2 so a little more mellow

mid engine imply's that the engine is in front of the transmission rear engine is engine behind the transmission those are both rear engine how ever the axle on those is behind transmission and engine making you think they are mid however the prebuilt buggy in the vid is open for discussion as it is unconventional drive train

your right there is other ways to build it the most likely is a transfer case for what i want. a synchro is out if the question the trannys for those go for about 5000$ for a used one in my neck of the woods thats more than 1500$ @ subaruhears..com i do appropriate the input but to build what i want for the price i want its going to take somthing done a different way if this looks to turn into a 6k toy ill just buy the one of the buggys in the vid up top but really my budget is about 2k for this toy. i think this is do able im going down to pia motor sports right now they are going to give me an needed ring gear im going to take around to some shops and see if we can find its backwards cousin very little weight over the front wheels is fine however i think it will have more than u think i bet is is 60/40 and the hole rail will be light about 1600-1700lb with me in it my last rail was considered heavy @ 1750 with me in it, most the newer rails are coming in about 1200lb but cost big $$$$

sounds like u are on the right path and im sure the 1" chain will last quit well big block v8 use the chain on the timing chain that are very small and last long time and lots of rpm's and torque

i think to get any further im going to need full specs for a 92 legacy stock ring gear. dose any one know where to get this info?

well vw trannys are getting to RARE they are a thing of the past. vw trans is off the table 100%. stop. YES I WANT 4X4!!!! that would be way cool for my use of the vehicle. if i had 2200$ for ring and pinion from subarugears.com , would not have this conversation. i need a cheaper way to do it. that would take a ring gear that cut to make it work. im trying to find that ring gear already built for another purpose to fit into my tranny what am i trying to build? really??? did u see the vid of the 4x4 go cart? did u see the pic of my frame? did u see i posted a link saying this is the same as im trying to build just in the frame i have? if so how is that u no comprehension what im attempting to build? do you just have a big stick and go around here trolling trying to stir a up $#!+ how ever if i mist took the rude tone of your reply im sorry but calling me a troll is very much not welcome

so i bout a bunch of gl stuff and now it looks like i need all legacy stuff but subrise hooked it up on the price so not a big set back

made a little bit of progress to day i know what im looking for via specs subaru is 37 or 39 tooth ring 12 tooth pinion right cut i need to find the same thing out of something els that is 37 or 39 tooth left cut witch i am finding but audi has 10 tooth pinion and Chrysler has an 11 tooth pinion........ one would think this would be easy this day in age to just type in what what u want and tell you what car it was used in how ever its more like pic a car that u want to check and search for the ring gear get all the part number then search and search and search for the specs on that part much thanks go out to merlin owner of Transmission parts for the masses 877-771-3372 http://mmerlinn.com/catalog/silver_m...01/jtr01_f.htm who also thinks the RING gear i seek is out there and just hast to be found (insert lord of rings joke here) p.s. the next one to check is vw and after market vw mid engine parts to see if any one already makes a ring gear so that you can run mid engine with out flipping the whole transmission over and Porsche
