Didnt hit a nerve ive just putting it out there ive been there done that got the shirt and wore it out to rags....lol...
Um subaru tranny seem to be cheep here got a dual rage 5 speed for 30$ and a 4 speed d/r for free (those wont work for rear engine and are for ea82
So then i bout a hole 4wd wagon drove it home for 250$ but a coworker needed a car so i gave it to him and started looking for 2wd tranny's (harder to come by) so i traded the d/r 5 speed for one the still needed an engine bout another hole car 93 2wd impreza (pic above) drove it on to the trailer for 200$ also have a line on another tranny 2wd for 125$ just thought it was too much money.
Any way yes the frame above is how i got it paid 900 for it sold the engine for 750$ and was paid 250$ to install sold the trany for 350$ and a few other bit and peice so thought i got into it for a good price
I think the sand paddle (they were about 2 ft wide) where a bit harder on the bus trannys that and the thing to do back when i was running rails was to dance up the dunes with the tuning bakes and the front tires in the air the hole time
Broke spiders allot. Among other parts
