I flaged down a windshield guy off the street. He installed a used windshild with a new gasket that I already had for me for $25. It is leagle for a pro installer to install a used windshield for you. They would rather sell you a new windshield. They say a used one tends to be brittle. I wonder how true that is?

Hey, I was Goose hunting just outside of Sumner this morning. [gonna hunt there tomarrow morning too] Must of been your radical little sooby that had them spooked:rolleyes: What exhaust shop is it sitting at? I would love to do a drive by. A little jaunt up here to Greenwater would be a great test drive.

I have had very bad luck with rebiult CV's. The originol CV's went over 200,000 miles. Since then I have installed 4 rebuilt, lifetime warranty CV's on the right side, 2 on the left side. I got the last ones from NAPPA and it has been almost a year since I have had to replace one. I was thinking of putting wing nuts on my ball joints.

I have a seal kit for the oil pump, that was first on the list of things to do already thank you. I have been thinking of installing a radiator overflow system in place of the fuel vapor canistor. I really need to spend more time reserching the exhaust mods to come up with what I want. After looking at a lot of the members rigs and the modifications I think this site will get real addicting.

I have been doing searches on this site most of the day. [we are snowed in] I found a lot to think about. To start with my little hatchback is pretty much stock ... until recently any way. I would like to keep it just a good little street runner. I just put a weber on it and did away with most of the vacumn line BS. I am still trying to work out the quirks with that. I am not exactly sure how to plumb the PCV system. So far I have just hooked both lines out of the valve covers to a T, then to the PCV valve. Some how the hole in the bottom of the new air filter housing should get plumbed in. After sitting for a couple of days the webber seems to have lost the fuel out of the bowl. It needs a little squirt of starting fluid to get going [yes I know how hard starting fluid is on an engine] I have not figured out what to do with the fuel tank vapor lines. I have just plugged them off. I still am running the originol fuel filter. I would like to go to a see thru filter. I would love to find a way to quiet down the hydraulic valves. There were a lot of ideas in my search. I need to do something with the old exhaust system. The old catastrophic converter seems to burn up the CV joint above it. I would love to do away with it and run a better system. [no I do not have to pass emissions:D] Seems like there are a lot of options I never considerd. I think the question of the day is where do you get a quality rebuilt half shaft? One thing I did to it that I am really pleased with is the Impreza seats I installed.

Newby with a lot of questions Hi kids! Like the topic said, newby here. I lurked here for a very long time before I joined. [er...um...at least an hour ] I have tons of questions. Have done some searches for a few already and have gotten some ideas. This is a great resource for me. BTW The wife and I own a production date of 1-7-85 GL Hatchback 4x4. Parts are all 84. We bought it brand new. We love this little car. It has 272,000 miles. I pulled the engine stripped it and a friend rebuilt it at 220,000 miles. IT looks resonably good but is showing its age. I will do some more searches before I start showing my ignorance with stupid questions. I posted this message over at the older gen bord also.
