Haha yeas lol. would like to give the carbs a much better clean mayb bead blasted. I will wait till I can get rebuild kit. which ive had No luck with getting :-\ I also plan to get rocker covers and airfilter cover chromed. only prob is No1 in my city does propper chrome plating ( Propper chroming with use of the copper plate 1st. ) here they only do nickal then chrome. So its an 2 hour drive to the nearest which is in Timaru. im dieing to get my GSR running and so close to Christmas

Here is an Quick up date. Been ordering new parts for my GSR. slowly getting them in. heres some work ive done to my inlet mainifold I had to redrill the broken bolts that go into the themostat housing. also did some sanding of the manifold. after spending 10 or so hours on polishing i ran out of patients and paid some one else to finish it Just got it back from polisher and i gave the carbs an good clean too

I didnt Know the xt had came with an EA71. a guy i new was going to fit an 1600 into his vortex since the ea82 turbo motor was removed. i dont think he ever got it to work tho.

i would go with the webber

my lil old gl coupe had same problem with none of that stuff workin. it was an live wire that shorted out. and blown alot of the fuses for Headlights, taillights, or wipers/washers. i replaced them. worked fine for an lil while then played up again. and the fuses were fine. so i havnt found out why they stopped working again:-\

it got hacked by somebody i think:mad:

i had an guy that wanted to do same thing. i dnt no if that works or not? i keep an eye on this tho. i want to get an wrx and go wide body too also you mite have probs with the svx front brakes. sti stuff etc i beleave dont fit.

im like to do that to my butchered GL coupe. problem is trying to find out if the motor fits. and it would cost alot of monney to do :-\

thats an lucky find since its still so good condition:)

Thanks my camera is an sony dsc-f828

lol i parked it in the right place ive got it up for sale at the moment. im selling due to needing money to semi restore my GSR Coupe :-p

The other day I thought I would give my wee 1400 an good clean and wash. Then thought I why not get some good pics of it. So here they are.... :cool:

my 1988 DL omaga wagon had an ea71 in it. even seen an 1990 or later omega sedan with ea71 in it

i had an look in my 1972 service manual. it menchens body pannels and all other details but does not say what the factory colours are

if it was closer i would go have an look at it.

I was just thinking about this. ive never seen or heard of one but has any one fitted airbags to an brat/brumby? like air bag suspention im meaning this is just another random question i got to thinking about today

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2117466 thats the wee leone with turbo and carb that i was talking about lol

my old 86 turbo vortex with ea82t went very well. it did 299,000 plus kms. its been main tainned well its whole life. the turbo and the motor and auto was fully original never gave any trouble. it was also used to pull an big heavy boat to till 2003. the only probs i had with it was- old hoses goin hard crackin and leaking. and the gaskets were leaking to. so had to top it up every once in an while.

ive seen one 1983ish leone coupe that was fitted with an engine that was turboed and carbed. i saw it on CarDomain. dont no how it went. saw it on there like over an year ago.

looking cool as im thinking i like to take my GSR down the 1/4 mile and see how it does in its old age. once i get it back togeather

sweets good info so far anyone fit an EJ20 in an 1400 tho?

also an guy i know who has an GSR. his one been re engined with an i think a RS ford Escort Cosworth engine? i cant remember if its been converted to RWD or stayed FWD? he did say the trany tunnel was alted quite an bit.

I know of an Guy that had on GSR back in the day. he repaired it since it was in an accident. he used to work for an couple subaru dealerships he rebuilt the engine and blue printed it, Port & Polish, fitted an 5spd in it. wouldnt take long to go over 100MPH. i dont know what the top speed was.

What improvements and preformance mods have you seen or heard of that have been made to 1400s? since they where new untill now ive been thinking about this for quite an long time and wondering what has been done? like power up grades, engine transplants. ive seen quite an few 1600 engines fitted to 1400s Has any one fitted an EJ engine into an 1400? what about supercharged or even turbo 1400cc engine :-p what about 5 lug swap? Im having lots of random questions running thu my head
