Carby & EFI EA82 tanks are different, but interchangable. It's a pity you didn't salvage the metal hard lines through the car, because they are also different (well 1 is) from carby to EFI. Tank with lines & pump would be good for an EJ conversion on a carby. If you're going to scrap it, let me know...

ok, so that was PDQ getting the engine swapped over

Did the guy have any other stuff left over? I'm heading up that way this weekend?

How is the low range activated? Rod through the rear casing like the L series, or cable directly to the low range pivot on the side of the case? I currently have a single range with centre diff lock from a Vortex in my car, but with the black RX turbo interior (which was only dual range), the centre...

The easiest way is to both sides of the relay trigger (ie pins 85 & 86) from the back of the headlight. Find which 2 of the wires have 12V across them when the high beam is on. If you wire them up this way, then it doesn't matter if the lights are earth switched, or power switched. The only drawback...

The centre diff lock isn't that hard, the 4wd Vortexes had them, its the dual range bit that's rare. If you had one of those to suit an EA82, then I'd be knocking at your door... :P

I've just sent that guy a message asking what gearbox is included. I've got a Vortex single range full-time 4wd box in my car currently, but I'd prefer the dual range full time box (mainly cos I've got RX turbo black interior trim & the centre console looks wrong :p). If it's the right box, I do you...

I know of a spider manifold, but be warned, everything's different, and I think it doesn't have the water jacket part (it's a separate piece that's sandwiched between the heads & inlet). The standard computer was usually the 1st thing junked on the rally cars. I've seen 20% improvement from just cha...

If you're not going too extreme, the Forester will be fine. It's only issue (like most late models) is the front & rear clearance angles. You can get steel replacement bumpers for the Forrie that solve this problem however. The Forrie is better than the Liberty because of its shorter wheelbase, whic...

If you're in Sydney, I might be able to help. I once had some extra cables made up that had that fitted up to the Liberty rear handbrake, but also to the original handbrake lever. The aim being that the cables went forward from the lever, then did a 180 degree loop over the top of the gearbox, and t...

I don't think that's quite correct about being 100% to the front wheel normally. I had a 93 Legacy GT auto (I know being an import & turbo it could be different from the normally ones) in the early 2000's, and I remember Honda doing a big ad campaign about their CRV being the first to offer that kin...

It would prob cost a machine shop maybe less than $200 to redrill the hubs. You don't need to fill in the old stud holes, so the pattern can be changed back (but who'd want to).
Off the shelf 4x114.3 rims would be $200ea, $400ea for good ones.
You do the maths

not without a lot of work. The 4EAT was available on later model turbo efi L series, but not in Aus. Some vortexes may have them, they are again EFI. I'm not sure about the Vortex, but the L series had a separate computer to run its gearbox. From the Liberty onwards, the auto was run by the engine's...

17s on a Vortex go not too bad (especially as the guards are wider), but you prob won't be able to keep the same overall diameter. Seeing as Vortex's had disc brakes all round, you're better off getting the hubs re-drilled for 4x114.3, then you've got a much larger choice of wheel to choose. Just wa...

can cheat by using words instead of the symbols.
eg bob (at) blah (dot) com
put extra spaces, etc. They can't pick up stuff like that.

BTW, happen to be selling turbo clutch pedal setup from your RX?

You could put an email addy in your ads instead?

and also same as EFI Touring wagons. Not sure about the EFI Leone Royales as they were FWD only

Found it. Can you PM me an email address & I'll send you a pic

Hey, sorry, I saw I got a PM, but my box was full.

Cleared it out now, but send me a reminder next week & I'll see what I've got at home.
My wife will be happy if I got rid of some stuff :P

I think if I was going to that extreme to remake the arms, I would've remade the radius rods mounting plates to accept the a pivot mount like the later model cars, then made an arm with 2 mounts like the later model cars. They are much stronger and more stable under load. Jealous that you've got acc...

Looking at those rear mounts, I reckon I'd be much cheaper to cut off the "hat" hanging down, weld a block of steel to it, drill & tap that instead.
