flatoutnos Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have been asked by multiple people all over Instagram (@flatoutnos if you are curious) to start a build log for my car so here I am (Hope this is the right place). I have a 97 Legacy Outback with a 4 inch SJR lift and 235/75/15 tires on Cragar soft 8's. I have all polyurethane bushings, 07 Forester brakes in front, 02 WRX rear calipers with the H6 rotor and stainless lines. I have done a lot to this wagon, honestly to much to remember. Here are a few pics of the current setup. I recently blew either the center or front diff so the car is only rwd now. I was already in the process of buying parts for a motor build so I figured why not just go ahead and do both right now. The plans for it as of now include welding the center diff and adding a divorced transfer case and an R160 in the front. I am going to add more lift, maybe custom coilovers or something not entirely sure yet. The goal is to fit 33's on it. As for the motor I am building the EJ25D in it. I have Arias forged 9:5:1 pistons for it and Cobb street cams. I am going to add forged H beam rods and an Eaton M90 supercharger. Of course a lot of other things are going to happen as well just haven't decided yet. Not sure if this is the right place to start a "Build Log" but after searching for .5 seconds this seemed like an appropriate place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 You can clear 33s with a strut bottom lift, but that wont be your biggest hurdle. The trans will have a very hard time on 33s and I'd expect some further diff failures. I would think you'd want to gear down somehow to go that big. guy in ohio makes a custom bellhousing to mate a W series toyota transmission to an EJ subaru motor. I may go that route in reverse to put a subaru power plant in my 4runner if the motor ever fails in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link? This would make the EJ swap in my BRAT way better! RWD EJ BRAT would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatoutnos Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Update: I have started on the lift. I made custom 6 inch spacers for the back and installed my ADF 2.5 inch lower lift. I still have 2 more inches of lift to add to the back. Engine and trans are removed and disassembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colmi Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 How many followers do you have? Do you use https://spamguardapp.com/dashboard to rid of ghosts and another trash? I think your profile has to be popular enough, if you promote it right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
