I decided to start a thread on my project car: '92 Subaru Loyale. I want this to be a daily driver for work and be a fun trail rig.
So far I've done a 4" lift, added a set of 14" pugs with AT's, skid plate from Rallitek, Warn Industries brush guard, (originally made for the Brat), the 5SPD D/R swap, and XT6 front seats on it as well as adding all of the little interior bits that came on the GL's but not on the Loyale, (proper door handles, front map light, rear cargo light, etc...) Still looking for an LSD to put in as well. I also have all the bits to do the 5-Lug swap from an XT6 except for the front knuckles and axles, but this can wait a bit because...
Now I'm gearing up to do an EJ-22 swap. After seeing other EA wagons at the show with the EJ swap done and reading through Numbchux's excellent write up I had to go for it. I recently got a motor from http://www.mttechsuba.com/ Mountain Tech Subaru in Oregon City that has 90,000 miles on it originally from a '92 Legacy wagon.
here it is all put back together after I went through it...
Motor is in great shape and VERY clean but I decided since its on the stand I might as well go through it and put in new seals, belts, water pump, and gaskets all around so I know its 100%.
It will be nice to replace the EA-82 with the EJ and finally not be a gutless slug on the highway and trails.
