Spiffy

if you have a legacy with an auto that you can lock the center diff with then that would probably be better than the ea82 d/r for crawling...

what's this "Jerry's kit" I keep hearing about? can somebody link me to it? sounds like I'll need the help of a pro to do the 5-speed swap... thanks!

IMAGE01.jpg = feedback sensor you don't need any more... IMAGE02.jpg = not sure on the round thing with pink arrow... keep the other thing for sure, isn't it a coolant or oil passage? IMAGE03.jpg = I think it's the breather line for the tank... I think I left mine dangling... not sure exactly... I had to trial and error to figure out which was the return and the breather... IMAGE04.jpg = cover this? yes, you can eliminate the EGR... the other thing is PCV, you probably want that... IMAGE05.jpg = on mine they went to more sensors by the passenger side firewall... you can get rid of those... there's one somewhere that goes into the firewall, keep that one on manifold vacuum... IMAGE06.jpg = manifold coolant passage, keep that... I'm sure somebody with more knowledge will chime in with what I missed or got wrong... (:

d'oh! I thought the door panel looked a little odd... hehe... I saw that, but figured it's still just a work in progress... and didn't know if it'd been rolled since the pic... and seeing that clean crossmember almost makes me want to fix my oil pan gasket and clean my member off...

an '85 with an auto-seatbelt track? and why'd you rip out the dash?

you know, I knew when I typed that I might be a year off...

GL all the way... I've only owned one loyale and I won't do it again... all the little creature comforts were removed from the loyale... so get a GL with a 5 speed and dual-range tranny... make sure it doesn't have any cooling/overheating problems or clicking axles when you turn sharp... oh, and '87 or newer with fuel injection, unless you want a carburetor for some reason...

are you looking for a chart that shows what car came with what tranny and diff and all the ratios?

nice to meet you! I threw some soda at the screen, so it should sticky up soon...

and the blank under the ashtray is for stereo fader/balance before '83... '83 and after I think the power mirror control went there...

ouch! I learned the same way to NEVER go offroad without a skid plate... what looks like innocent plants growing in the middle of the road's tire tracks can be a huge rock...

the mounting brackets would have been screwed to the stock radio and hooked on the screws at the front where the trim piece covers them... you don't need them to put an aftermarket radio in there... get a kit like this one that Major Lazy is talking about... most radio shops that have a subaru community will carry this in stock... come with both the ea82 and ea81 mounting face plates... that holds the front of the stereo up... hold the back up with a short piece of galvanized plumbers tape...

since it's a "tyre" inflator it's probably not a US option...

black bottom looks a lot better...

cool pictures... looks like exactly what I like to do when I go into the forest... find the spots that most people can't get to in a normal car... take every little road you find, which is usually an old logging offshoot that ends with a fire pit that's now a camp site... good times...

great pictures... love that forest terrain... well, except for the deep water, I won't drive through that... (: looks like a lot of fun though...

sweet, I've been waiting for somebody here to do that so I could see how it turned out... (: keep us posted... I thought you could get to the trim clips from the back... read this: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2331682

oh man that sucks... nice that you got pictures of it though... (: waiting for the carcass pics... now I'm extra glad I ordered that 2-pack fire extinguisher from woot the other day...

that sounds like fun... I wonder if the wife would let me sneak off into the forest for a few hours... or maybe the kid is heavy enough to turn his car seat around and they can come along...

ooo, that's pretty... that would look great on my car with a bunch of oil dripping on it... (:

yep, after 7 months we finally escaped wisconsin... (: got here permanently on the 14th... I haven't had enough time yet to break anything to bring to your new shop... micro-bump!

well I was swapping my exhaust and decided it was a good time to remove that sway bar... I don't even notice on the road... maybe that's because half the rubber on it was shot... the middle body mounts had been pounded and bent backwards so much I had to use a wrench instead of a socket to get them off... but it came off real easy... haven't been offroad yet but I'm sure it'll help a little... was gonna scrap it but I'll take the advice and hold onto it for projects requiring bent metal bars... (:

I'm going to try and make it for the actual show late sunday morning... maybe next year my van will be on the road and I can enter it...
