    this is a proper smart looking rebuild, good job fella, im guessing that you set the carbs exactly the same on the screws, up to mid temperature, and do as said above, for idle, use your ear against each carb and listen for suction amount, and use your hands over each carb carefully to give a good approximate for as to idle balance, mixture i guess you could do either by plug condition, exhuast probe, bung in the exhaust, and get the overall exhaust to 3.0/.1 % for optimum power, and any lower than that for your economy this is only what i would do! dont nessercarily follow it bibically

    and sell me the dual carbs lol, man, i know how u feel atm, mines still being a pain in the arse, when i get my insurance money, im buying an impreza LOL!
  3. backinbrat
    lol, man, thats bout what im getting atm, and im packing it super rish on twin carbs lol i got 30.2 mpg with my orginal setup on a 300m trip, i thought that was alright! and most of that was at 80-85mph
  4. backinbrat
    well....spacers sounds like its only gotta be a few mm, just whack some washeres welded together behind it, jobs a gooden
  5. backinbrat
    yeah man, its fine, i had the same thing, i got a bit scared, but realised there was no shake anywhere else, she'll be alright fella just take it for a proper good burn

    right well i have been looking around at suspension upgrades on my EA81, i have looked around and found these varitys of shocks, what are the opinions? http://www.spax.co.uk/selector_html.php (then classic cars, followed by products) a thought i had was also adj coilovers, if you got some and took the bottom brackets off, or blank bottom ones, and redrill the top mount, and wah la, front coilovers, like tiens or spax etc, that would be proper smart, and using camber/caster plates on it, have adjustable camber/caster opinions please! and any ideas, critasisms welcome, anyone else thought along these lines?

    ah, bollocks to that then, i was gonna knock it out in a day, cba with oil pump and heads, ive only just put my new heads on it cam is matched for heads and carbs apprantly, some of you know my SUB4 setup, tis a bit different oh, yeah did forget bout the equal wear, but ive got it lying around and was just gonna whack it in, think its best wait for the forged internals rebuild to put that in, might just regrind it again and max it out
  8. backinbrat
    right, well i have tralled the threads od USMB, and i cant seem to find anywhere about removing a EA81 cam, i swear i have seen it somewhere! can anyone direct me to the thread if not, what is there that needs to be done, and anything i should watch out for, and how do i retime the cam, i have a performance upgrade SUB4 cam to go in do i need to remove the heads for this?
  9. backinbrat
    yeah man, looking forward to seeing it! keep us posted! the front part where your number plate is mounted is different compared to the standard brat, its flat all the way along the bottom, which was used on the cars, instead of having it risen up in the middle, i guess to accomodate bullbars and A bars better, and you will notice a chrome bar along the bottom of your original truck, ive got it as well, and its a little protection mount bit, which the bumpette things mount onto in other words, i want the front end off yours! look for old legacy turbos, pretty much the same as imprezas, just cheaper and more avaliable ive found, make sure its a turbo though, otherwise you will end up with dual range still! lol

    i guess yeah, i know exactly what you mean bout the old golfs, mates got a rooded up caddy which he just dropped GTI mpfi lump in, has got that GTI front lip bit, looks quite smart, and the sorta thing i mean, i just dont want too much body theres a PROPER smart datsun 510 pick-up on page 69 of dec 08 issue of jap performance, thats the look i would like whilst were at it, im in the nov 08 issue of japanese performance page 93 ;P shame i didnt make any of the pics, just the text! lol i will be in a mag next year!!!!!!!!! haha!
  11. backinbrat
    yeah man! i like the sound of that! i did look at springs in demon tweeks, and they all seemed a bit out of reach, but have been to a mate today, and he used to be a specialist mechanic for EA, but now does mostly EJ stuff and he said that some adj's coilovers come with like a blank unversal mount, which might be able to be modded to fit onto the truck, me likes the sound of that! full adj coilovers all round! along with camber caster adjuster plates, that would be proper sorted! the EJ route for modding parts is one that is not as hard as it seems for some parts, my mate also explained you can used hub assembly off the EJ and get some driveshafts rewelded with the right splines and legnth, then you got EJ brakes and wheels, but 'bolts' on ive been told the earliest legacy diffs go striaght in as well ratios obv arnt as much as a worry when RWD, so it dont matter if it changes dw man, you sound just as mad as me! hahahaha!
  12. backinbrat
    mate, thats smart! yeah man, welcome to USMB! another UK user here as well! ive got a truck for a complete EJ engine, running gear and suspension swap waiting as well, lol as well as the road one. have you got any details from the previous owner, or who done it all up, i wanna know where he got that front valance! all that needs it to be lowered! that would look soooooo fat man!
  13. backinbrat
    yeeeeeeeeep, im on there as well! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2271064 needs a bit of updating but most of its there!
  14. backinbrat
    now thats a nice conversion, respect on that mate, i like it alot, with the (excuse my ignorance) but with the EJ mounts, do you only need to elongate the mount holes, is there anything else that need to be done? keep up the good work mate! keep us posted! :-p
  15. backinbrat
    would say its somin to do with the mixture, CTS sounds quite convincing, mine does the same atm, but thats cause of the carb setup, start it up from cold, runs real nice, warms up, mixture changes density with the heat and runs lumpy, doesnt help that it keeps fouling the plugs as well GRRRRRR lol
  16. backinbrat

    hi there mate, i noticed in your pictures on photobucket, yo got an LSD, it looks a bit different than a standard LSD in EA81's, what is it? many thanks!

  17. backinbrat

    evening matey, u alright, i cant believe that there is actually someone in the UK, with a brat, with the same ideas!!!! lmao, yeah, i like both offroad and onroad alot, and i love my old skool, i didnt go for the 6 bolt thing, as i couldnt be bothered, and i wanted to be able to use my old rims and tyres still for when i run out of rubber, or fancy a bit of fun! lol and aint RWD fun! hahaha, forget the offroad alternative if you want a lowridering handler, and lowering it with one coil at the front will still leave you with a bit of positive on the front, but with some low pro yokeys on the back, ************ me mate, its qute impressive with everything against it!!! ask what ya like, where you from?

  18. backinbrat
    evening mate, i like the ideas, your thinking along the lines of bigger brakes, rear lsd, the sound, and some power the welded rear diff idea, im not too sure bout, things dont seem to be overly strong on the trans side of things, im not sure i would be keen on the handling of a welded rear diff, i know what its like on tractors, dont really like the idea of it on the road and yes, the escorts and 86's thats where i get alot of my ideas from as well
  19. backinbrat

    yeah mate, sounds good

  20. backinbrat
    whats all this about then, it almost looks like a promotion of performance parts or somin? http://www.indysworld.com/80s/fun/projectrudy/lcparts.jpg if so, ROOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!
  21. backinbrat
