My 76' 914 with "Pristine No Rust Metallurgy"
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...at least Scotty won't have to see this one anytime soon. Of course, there's always the flare install at a later date. And, the 70' I have WILL require his lifesaving techniques at a later date (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)     Mr. Miagi has already given up his former soul - "Danielson"   ...the saga continues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Plan?
There's no PLAN (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...it's all about the journey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Gotta pick up that rebuilt Ginzu plasma cutter I bought off HSN! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

Received a long sought after wish list item from CFR and Chris's Team (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I sourced the 911 E-Stop system a while back (brakes) and sent to Chris. One of our brethren here sold me an old set of trailing arms for the rebuild. 5-Stud kit was sourced from Eric Shea at PMB a while back, with a nice set of his rear calipers from a Friday buy being readied as the main stopping power. She'll get brand new Bilsteins in the rear with 90 or 100lb springs initially (NOS), with new rubbber from Mark at 914Rubber and re-popped metal from Eric. Bruce Stone, aka "Big Dawg" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) is working on some sway bolt swag for me as well:-) I'm torn between putting this setup on "Blackie" the 70' 914 in this build, or the jacked and stacked 76' in the Dungeon - aka, the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm in a 4 week employment "lull", so I have time for more ruminations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I asked CFR to "sign" these beauties for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) P.S. - ALL parts sourced HERE from our vendors or members - Buy local, especially 914World whenever possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

...picking up a motor and assorted parts this Saturday in TN:
1- Subaru 2005, 2.5 Liter NA w/o turbo - approx. 100K 2- 5-speed tranny with flywheel and clutch, still attached to engine 3- FI harness and ecu (brain) 4- Complete vehicle harness 5- A/C compressor and dash control pod with dash condenser 6- What's left of gauge pod for speedo, temp, etc 7- Cruise control pod or stalk with associated valving and subassemblies complete out to motor 8- Fuel tank accessory plate with sender, pump, etc (including sub-harness) 9- Complete stub axles and CVs out to wheel 10- Rear differential (not needed - FS later) Maybe I'll get lucky and score something else I can clean up and sell here to our membership. I also purchased a Subie motor and tranny mount from Ian over at Coldwater914. Real honest guy I have been corresponding with for a while. Ian's torch skills are outstanding, and I was tempted to leave the steel bare. What I did was had the cradle lightly sand blasted to eliminate much of the heat discoloration at the joints, although the joints were impeccably finished prior to shipping. After blasting, the steel takes on a nice milky flat tinge that can be left as is, but I wanted to powder coat it to further preserve the work while not blinging it out too much. I had them apply a clear powder coat with product from nic industries. I think it will stand out on its on against any colors I later apply to the motor or tranny pieces. Ian is supplying his custom components specific to this conversion, with the coupler, Sway-Away half-shafts, fwd block off plate, and accessories. More build details will be added as I sort through the project details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Coldwater914 Cradle - 4 or 6 cylinder capable   (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

QUOTE(dian @ Nov 23 2012, 04:35 AM)  does the engine have an immobiliser? I think it was standard on the Forester (?), optional on the 2005 Impreza. Always upgradeable. I'll have a chance to verify tomorrow as I'm taking a factory electrical diagram with me as well as a CD. Also taking my Torque OBD Checker and cables with me, just in case I get to download the error codes:-) |

I hate to disappoint, but I just figured out that drill in the last image can power my whole car.
Still looking for batteries that will fit in the tow behind trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
