The Beast I Drive

will an intake manifold from a 1400 fit directly on to a 1600? Im lookin to clean up the engine in my Brat now that I got it running. Thanks! -Bill

i never get light inside my car with my lights, they do just fine on the roof as long as you dont have t tops or a sunroof

hehe, I did the same thing when I put my new motor in my wagon, I just couldnt figure out why it wouldnt run, it would just backfire horribly. Switched plug wires 1 and 3 and it ran perfect.

Im workin on lift kits, any size, EA82 price very reasonable and very sturdy stuff

Here's mine when I first got it, it was for a fullsize Bronco, I cut 10 inches off it I think, I bolted it to the roof and I sealed everything eith silicone, no leaks so far

maybe, you would probably have to make some kind of spacer, I was lookin at the inner door panel in one of my rigs and you would have to do some custom work to do that. I just went the easy route.

little off topic, but does anyone have any information about Isuzu Amigos? I think they look pretty cool, but I would like to know how capable they are.

Actually no, its a B&M shifter handle from Autozone, and the threads are the correct metric threads, just screw it on and your done

This is how I mounted my speakers, they are Pioneer 6 inch speakers:

Nope, thats dual range 2wd/4wd, via Craftsman screwdriver handle

Thats a pretty cool video, cant wait till they bring the diesel over here, it would be awesome in a Brat or a Baja

It's kinda hard to see, but I cut a piece of aluminum to cover the change pocket then i cut out a hole with a hole saw and put one of those plastic grommets from a fold away lawn chair to make it look pretty. Really easy.

I have basically the same setup, but mine's homebuilt, if you get a good tailwind, top speed gets around 75 ish, surprisingly drivable with the 2wd low range modification

I'll check it out, if its not good I have a good one here I would be willing to sell as well

Yes, the red wagon has a grey interior, I will see what all is salvagable of the parts you want

when I did the fronts they look like they are meant to be there, I will take pictures in the morning. I have a trim removal tool, but if your careful a flat head screwdriver works just as well. Make sure your window is down, unscrew the armrests, and if you have manual window cranks those come off with a clip. Then undo the bottom and lift up and off it goes.

How hard is it to get the shifter off?

check for a bad vacuum line or a vacuum leak of some kind somewhere

As far as the fronts go, my 87 had 4" speakers in the front, so I cut out the plastic grill in the door panel and the 6" speakers fit perfect, and its secure too. I think your loyale doesnt have rear speakers because it was a low option car, like a DL, but there are mounting points for 6 or 6.5" speakers in the rear doors

Hey they checkered seats in the blue car arent worn, they just need to be washed, they are just a little dirty, but all the XT seats are in good shape, the ones in the red one are like brand new, that car is way too nice to be there. I will see what they want for them, I might have to do some hustling

I do tend to fill way up into the filler neck, so that could be it. I know the only rig I have with a gas tank leak is my Chevy.

cool, will they fit the 1600?

Hey guys, I went to the junkyard today and I found these early soob manifolds, I think they are from 1400 motors, but I'm not sure, so I was hoping ya'll could help me out

oops, the adjustable ones werent monroes, I forgot what they were, but we changed them again, we have the monroes on our GL, they sit taller than the stock ones though. I guess the adjustables we had put on were from a dealer, you might try there and see if they have any.
