  1. I put 02 WRX seats in my hatchback. Note that they do sit higher, so if you are taller than 6ft, might want to lower the rails somehow.
  2. Subiemech85 still owns the one pictured above, Mick's former ski wagon.
  3. Very nice engine build, and looks great, worth your effort.
  4. my Ex GF in Denver had one of these a 89 model, turbo, with all the same car was nice..... So keep it and drive the piss out of it.
  5. Yes, in a day i will be down to one BRAT..... and a junk brat which is now on craigs for 575.
  6. Sold one Subaru The other Subau received a test drive and another is coming to buy in the AM.... Bye bye Subaru people..
  7. I think keep that not part of cruise.
  8. that one should have lsd as I think all turbo's loyales had lsd
  9. You did not block the water port off good enough on the intake to carb adapter plate. It is dumping coolant into the intake, and some is dripping out the manifold exhasut gasket and the rest is going out your tailpipe. You will have to pull the carb and adpapter plate, resurface the adapter so it meets flatly and reseal the water inlet. fun. Then when you get that sealed right, you need to drain your oil, cause it too will have coolant mixed in it, and change the oil filter and put new oil in it.
  10. I tossed a bunch of Honda parts in the back of my BRAT the last few days......some are junky parts some are parts i have to re-use.
  11. That is the part that melted into my intake 110 miles into my trip back with the 85Gl hatchie..... it is part of the resonator air valve/reed suction valve, that "makes the catalyst cleaner". Remove it NOW before yours turns to melty gooo. Block off the inlet down low from the exhaust with a quarter, and block off the other portion to the air filter......
  12. I think a part of the USMB server just sprung out the back of my computer screen.. Free...parts, looks like a nice free moving active part..... oooh, wait, that was a fly buzzing around. Glad the server is back up.
  13. live in a small town, the guy down the street has a frame machine. He looked the car over tonight, and is going to have it on his frame machine this coming Tuesday, said he would pull it for 100 cash. And, he has experience in Honda rebuilds, he does work at a junkyard professionally AND owns his own business going on 25 years of autobody stuff. He says he will help me with airbag stuff too.... I think this is coming along nicely and pretty fast so far. The radiator had some seeping on the top tank, and today i went to the local radiator repair person, and he re-crimped and checked the top tank. $21.40 repair. I have until Tuesday to get the front bumper and headlight out as requested for it to go on the frame machine... My huge parts order with Majestic Honda got notice today they canceled out the hood order part due to oversize..... So today i called a dealer 60 miles away, and they could do a new hood for 279, which is not as good as Majestics price, but the will deliver to me free.... I guess tomorrow the NEW Honda hood arrives, and the other stuff from Majestic early in the week. Might have the body work done by midweek next week, except rear bumper stuff. coming along nicely. I was never even thinking it would be a few weeks in repair cause i thought it might take all summer to get the parts and the timeslot for someone to pull the frame......cheers.
  14. It does have that funny shark fin on the roof. I wonder how i can cut it off? cause i am sure it is not anything i will ever use or need.
  15. I have crossed off a few Honda's on my list. I briefly owned a 91 Prelude Si 5psd, car was a joke to work on and other things. Owned a 96Acura TL, was pretty nice but had some bugs and didn't like the ligthing ,compared to the 91 CRX and Civic Also, owned a 94Civic VX hatch. Car was not near the car of the 91 CRX Si or Civic Si, for pep, handling, comfort, mpg etc.... I will need some time in the CR-Z to find what it is like..........If it can pull slightly better mpg than the 2 91's i have now, then i will consider my options on keeping it. low mileage is nice for a while.
  16. The plan is to get down to one Subaru, for winter, and 2 Honda's, this might be one of them, but I cannot see it being as fun as the 91 Si's I have.....probably the same mpg but less fun. This is a good commuter car, even the guy who delivered it, asked me to email him pics when it is done, he is looking for a car for his daughter, and he liked this Z. I said i might just keep it....guess when my main parts get here this next week, then the rebuilt inspection followed by title so i can drive it, will have to see... i put 3 miles on it today just hitting the streets in town. ODO now shows 802miles. Owning a Honda is a lot different than most other cars, it is "gas it up and change oil regularly, for 250k miles, with occasional plugs and Tbelt" THAT IS IT, not other expenses when you choose the best models. Not going to knock any, other brand but overall cost for repairs is nothing on a good model Honda. I have owned CRX since 1993. I remember back then, same crappy overall reviews and consumer desire. Nobody wants a 2 seater. True. But the reviews on the CRX are similar to the CR-Z. Plus the mpg's is vastly underrated on both those cars. Cause the test drives are not for 50miles on the highway at a time. I want a car i can go anywhere and back and get 45mpg all day long and not be in a car you see on every single block of any city. This is that car. My first complaint is huge blindspot to side backs...The CRX did not have any blindspot.
  17. I went to a local pub one day to get some water, drove my Gl hatchback. Someone in the pub asked who had the Scooby, only a few people were there in the early afternoon, so i spoke up. He mentioned he had an extra wheel like my wagon wheels, and i could have it for free. When i left later, the wheel was setting next to my driver door.
  18. cool if it works out, then i was thinking that would be the first big trip in my Blue Z.......whenever i get it done.
  19. drop in for the case. But. 1993 SS is not VLSD. only 91 SS... or it has been swapped. but no 93 SS has vlsd if it was kept original. Was not even option package etc. I was thinking off selling my set of 4 sport mags...with 3 nos center caps, and 3 used centers..... if interested make offer. these are as pictured before i got the 3 nos centers. I would be willing to drive them to madison or so later this summer. They would look nicer with a refinish or polish better, not the best condition on surface as they sit.
  20. second the iacv toss it in the garbage install a used one. once they stick, it is more than can be cleaned....they wear grooves into the insides and the grooves hang......
  21. big parts order in today........ nothing new till that arrives.
  22. my handprint bumper totally useable as is, only a few imperfections took out the core support. radiator is warped some, but still holds no leaks.
  23. my Z project: 2011, CR-Z ( too bad not a BRZ) CVT 798miles. My car arrived today. Here it is. in all it's glory with 798 miles on the odo. Front and Rear hit, both light. Passenger airbag blown, drivers side ok both seatbelts locked driver fender slightly tweeked radiator is not leaking, but warped in the middle driver headlight broken hood is not useable front bumper is reusable grille is busted but can be used that way rear bumper has good damage, so that will likely need replaced sometime got hit on back too..... I have already pulled the hood off, and removed the upper radiator support. Also found the window sticker in the glovebox, and the locking lug nut key has been found. Missing one alloy/tire, but got one coming from Ebay already. From what I can tell it was a deer hit, there are scuff marks on roof passenger side that have a trail of scuffing to the top of rear hatch (I do know Kansas City has deer). From what i can guess, previous owner hit a deer, slammed the brakes on, then got hit in the back end. I am going to try to contact previous owner, for 1 to see if he has another key since i just got 1 key. wish me luck....
