  1. this is Scott at SJR, I can sell you just the front Strut extensions for $150 , this is the hard part PM Me
  2. fun stuff, looking forward to see how this goes,Ive always said Subarus come with extra parts,the sawzall and cutoff wheel are my favorite tools, I like modifying cars, will this be open or have a closed body?, like will you loose more weight with the doors?
  3. looks awesome! fun to see my old car having fun If you get some good pictures offroad Ill put them on my store site maybe a side shot and a front 3/4 shot and some fun offroad shots
  4. I Might make this one whos all goin? and whats your rigs setup?
  5. you guys are great, my problem is I got the car with no engine and intake filter, maf and piping, so Im trying to piece this together, I have the 2003 engine and intake, and yes there is a EGR, I could plug that up,I still need all the intake stuff, so is this 2003 engine wiring going to work with the 2002 Imp ? I also will need to set up the power steering pump , will the ej22 pump work on the ej25 I have a 22 pump and bracket if no, anyone have a setup they will sell me both the pumpand wiring and intake stuff?
  6. a 2003 , also will the engine wiring on the intake from the 2003 it was a automatic work in the 2002 its a 5 speed
  7. I have a 2002 Impreza I picked up without a engine, I just picked up a engine and I need the alternater and bracket , will a EJ22 bracket and alt work with this engine and if not what can I do?
  8. stock Justy Ran a 90" wheelbase stock EA82 was 97" this thing is 85" will probably grow to 90" with the yota rear axle and move up to a 31" tire add ons later Solid rear axle front 8000 warn winch, rear 5000 Viper ATV winch bumpers, sliders, rollcage or exo or a little of each reinforced and designed front A-arms , I seam to always bend the stock ones tube or cut down doors maybe make the top removable air compressor and of course the flux capacitor from my last build
  9. heres the new specs 1987 EA82 wagon shortened 12" to a 85" whelbase, body removed Red car 88 Justy 2dr grafted on White car 96 EJ22 with 90 heads with Delta Low torx Cams stock FI with ECU and 90 legacy wiring harness 29" TSL swampers brand new after its drivable swap out the stock rear diff axles and suspension with a toyota truck rear axle with a lockrite and 3.9 gears to match the transaxle
  10. sorry to see this, if the doors still line up and the strut towers arent tweeked thats a simlper fix then it looks, you can put another clip on the front from any ea82 series car, I have done it,
  11. the Justy is Back but with Subaru guts, more to follow not as extreme as before
  12. I like the Subaru, I just dont like braking, like I stated earlier if we address the weak points and prepare the rigs it will be more fun, weak stuff is, Axles, no low gear,with no low gears the clutch is used as a gear and gets abused, or you run at a obsticle cause you cant creep over it and sometimes that causes damage, the cars a good starting point, just need to take them to the next level, add stronger axle in the rear , Jeff if you want that Ill do it for you just drive over and we will do it , once we do one , more will be easy, I think we sometimes overbuild it the wrong areas the strength/power/weight ratios just are not right , add a 27-31" tire and lock the rear diff to parts that were designed for a 23" tire open diff driving to the store and the parts brake, if the weight is kept down and the strength is improved there will be less downtime, Ive experimented with bigger tires, less weight, more power, stronger rear axle, lower gears, body modifications, the car is capable , it just cant be pushed to far beyond stock design limits without breakage, if you enjoy spending alot of time fixing on the trail and going home limping keep it up and have fun at it ,Im sure theres others that enjoy that too, for me I want to go onto the next level have a good time, do the harder trails, and drive home without breakage
  13. on the EJs the tranny needs a lock so front and rear axles are on there own like a DR , also the front A-arms are waek and bend easily, Im the last few years I have personally spent a bunch of time, thought, and money on offroading locally and even made trips by myself and with the family to Oregon to meet up wit guys with subarus, have gone to Walker Valley, Evens Creek, Browns Camp, Rieter , Sandlake, and the WCSS shows , I enjoy offroading and making machines and testing them out, I have ran stock Subarus, modified subarus with truck rear axle and transfercase, Lifted Jeep Cherokee with winch, homemade Datsun sand buggy, Suzuki Swift based mini sandRail , its all been fun I myself want to move up to a more highly modified Subaru min or rear truck axle, full rollcage, winches front and rear with min 31" tires and lower gears or a big engine, out of all the rigs I enjoy the feel and ride and engine of the Subaru , I like the power and strength of the Jeep/Toyota parts , this coming year I will Spend more time, money and thought on modifed vehcles , I would like to see this group get into a more serious offroading group with a new degree of vehicles that can take on any trail, well maybe not any, but at least take the trails we normally avoid at walker, the last couple times Ive went up with the cherokee we went places my white 3dr coupe never could have went, if anyone wants to build a monster subaru I can help, at min the cars needs a regular straight axle in the rear as thats the biggest weak spot in a offroader, when I go out wheelin I want to go with guys that are well prepared both with there machine and gear, club rules if any should stress vehicle and gear preparedness, recovery gear, more winches , recovery points, cbs or ham radios, rigs that can meet the challege of the trail, nothing wrong with the new guy with a ill equipt rig on his first time out, but there should also be runs where the guys that have more equipt machines shouldnt be held back cause the groups not up to a challenging trail, I will support a club or group If I can run a highly modified machine and be challenged by the trail and run with others with similar machines, all makes welcome
  14. Reid I could use some help on my site we could add a tab for NW offroading pictures and stories
  15. I Like the name lets keep it, Myself I want to build a better rig and start hitting the trails we avoid, truck rearend more flex and a winch and min 31" tires, I pretty much am burt out on the easy trails, Jeff lets put a 2nd t-case in Butters and a rear rearend and a winch and lets do the harder trails,
  16. I would tie the rear bumper mount to the mustach bar mount and the other rear component mounts, those stock Tie down points were not designed for recovery, they allowed the car to be tied down during shipping
  17. keep everything that hooks to the engine and ecu , also keep the fuel pump curcuit , and the maim reley, there will be pinouts from the ecu you wont end up using,
  18. I need to figure out this new forum setup email me here sjrwa@yahoo.com
  19. show up in the morning at my place and you can take them home in the afternoon I can do that What model and year? PM me
