SLW-SVT Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 It's gonna be a good summer for second gens :cool: Yes it is! Cant wait to start your swap. Just let me know when we taking out the motor. Carlo Soon, very soon! So the motor and drivetrain have arrived! I've been working on sourcing all the little things that i need to get this done and washing as much as possible in my new parts washer. Also waiting on the Ej207 seal kit to arrive from overseas to change everything out including headgaskets and arp head studs. I'm currently stripping down the brembos and will be painting them red. Still need to pull my harness to send off for merging but waiting on resealing the engine first. Did some common modifications to this harbor freight parts washer. added a remote oil filter and a drain valve. These brembo pads and rotors were surprisingly affordable. Still debating on doing new seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW-SVT Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Cleaned up the Saab 9-2x crossmember and steering rack last night and got the whiteline bushings put on. I received the L&E steering coupler but will need to send it back with my outback coupler since i will be keeping the outback 1" lift spacers and the Outback coupler is longer. Chase bay power steering reservoir and hoses Using Rustoleum aircraft stripper to take the powdercoating off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW-SVT Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Progress has been slow due to the heat in the garage and working a lot of hours at work. Brembos have been painted Engine was taken down to the shortblock for all new seals, gaskets and arp head studs Intake was stripped and painted and engine harness completely retaped. 1" lift blocks for the sti trans mount to keep the outback lift, phenolic spacers and kartboy exhaust hanger bushings. Stainless steel hardware Bought a sandblast cabinet from harbor freight and have been blasting and painting random parts. f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW-SVT Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Borrowed the neighbors press and changed out all the bushings for mostly whiteline parts. rear diff and outrigger bushings are from turn in concepts and kartboy. Offset front control arm inner rear for + .5 degree caster Transmission is in! Couldn't source an outback manual transmission mount so i spaced out the sti one that came with the 6mt Currently, I'm working on getting the suspension/driveline back together and the brakes on. Merged harness has arrived so that will be next, then it'll be time to drop the engine in and start buttoning things up. heres how she sits now.

SLW-SVT Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks! The tmic was looking rough so i taped it up and stuck it in the blast cabinet. I painted the top and bottom along with the BPV. I got most of the front suspension on with the front brakes but im waiting on new crown nuts and need to order new endlinks.
