Cant believe you have snow already, its currently 76 degrees here right now. Leaves arent even changing, they are going straight from green to dead.

You will notice in your search from this author that it says in red next to his sn "Disregard everything posted by this user". You shouldnt even read the stuff he has said.

Someday, I hope to be able to do that.

I love the front symbol and that fuel door. That will look sweet.

I called and talked to Shannon this morning. He said his computer decided to hate it's USB ports and is now without internet unless he goes to his parent's house. I asked if he was having some withdrawals from the board and he said he was. He also said he was having the luxury of working on wiring for a Camaro today so I wished him good luck with that.

Im surprised to see that he his hated in many different areas of the internet community. From the looks of it, he failed 9th grade Physical Science.

Ive done the same thing the first day I got my hatchback. I got in a hurry and got excited and put the battery in backwards.

You could tell it was a hot rod show just by pulling into Sevier County. All those old hot rods running rich you could really smell it in the air. I seen about 1,000 El Caminos and a frame for a Shelby GT 500 that the dude wanted $95,000.

If that isnt a sign for an EJ swap then I dont know what is.

Turbone needs to add another to his collection, even though its not black he could have that headgasket fixed in no time.

Looks like an EA82 and a Brat got into a fight.

Everytime I look at one of them I have a bad mental image of it going down the highway about 60mph doing a stoppie.

What motor is in that thing?

I seen one for sale at the local "Rod Run" they just had in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago.

Tried calling you yesterday, just got the answering machine. Hope all as well.

The brat had a blown cv when I bought it and it had slung grease everywhere. I later had the cv replaced in January. If I can get a chance today Ill get out there and take a picture of it.

So while I was checking the status of my brakes today I noticed that I have a seal blow out where my CV axle meets the transmission [driver's side]. Looks like grease has been leaking out of it for some time now. Do you guys think this could be the source of my knocking sound at low speeds and maybe have something to do with my syncro issues? 2. What steps do I go about replacing this seal and can it be something that I can get at the local autozone? Thanks. Kyle.

Probably going to be adding to that list of inner axle seal. I think thats what its called. Where the cv axle meets the tranny, I noticed today I was losing grease out of it. Lord knows where to start with that.

Attached is a list of a number of things I have done to my brat in the 11 months that I have owned the old girl. Enjoy. Brat GL (edit).doc

Good buddy of mine races dirt track in one with a built v-8 motor excess of 300hp. One hell of a ride.

Shannon, am I going to have to next day air you a thing of nyquil so you can finally get better?

I did a search of Redline products the local autozone carries and they only carry the fuel treatment stuff. Ill call around to some parts places today and see if they carry it. Also I notice that my tranny is only rated at 3.2 quarts per the general specification page. Would I need to add less of one to get it to work properly ?

So I assume what I do is drain the tranny fluid and then add a quart of that and fill the remainder with regular tranny fluid? Or fill it with all Rislone?

Thanks for your advice guys and thanks Mike for clearing up the typo error. Ill go by Autozone and look again on Sunday when I am on my way out to my dad's house to do the brakes on the BRAT. All the other gears are fine its just when going from reverse to first that I have some issues; most of the time I let out of the clutch and push in on it again to go back into gear but sometimes that doesnt even work and Im pushing as hard as I can to get it into gear.

I looked for the "Reslone" product today that is mentioned in the USRM but couldnt seem to find it. What else do you guys recommend to add a little more life to my syncros? And please just dont say 5 speed swap.
