ej20T in l series..?

Post by Mitchhsj » Thu Aug 30, 2012 10:00 pm

hey guys.. I'm really keen on getting wry half cut and putting everything in my 91 l series.. aswell as the wrx gear box for awd and it won't break as easy as the duel range 82 box.. also thinking the dash and seats to make it a little easer to do, any advise on what is involved and where to get a half cut from, I'm in QLD, sunshine coast. has any one already done it and can tell me what its like, would love to know..
thanks guys

have you tried looking at the wreckers for half cuts or you can do a search in google for subaru wrx half cuts in your area, good luck with the project :)

For the rest of the info search the forum. It's been done many times apart from the dash.

I've seen an L series on the USMB with the gen1 liberty fitted to it - looked trippy as and was done well.

As for the WRX drivetrain conversion. Done and dusted. You'll wet your pants! Go with the ***** brake conversion kit too - it's a must unless your name is Alex or you're crazy.

Haha, see if I had kept my L Series I wouldn't be wanting a road bike. I would of done this and it probably would of been more dangerous for anyone under the age of 20 then a bike would ;)

The Crossbreed brake kit is no longer in production until further notice. My brother in law (SubaRooster was his former forum name) tried to order one recently and they guy he was talking to said that the last one had been sold. I think they will only be doing batch runs when there are enough numbers to make it worthwhile.

$28k?! WHAT?? That's insane. I hope that included a new interior, rims, wicked paint job and a good looking car all round. $28k on a VN seems a waste to me! Sorry.
