The Scooby

i got a kit for the 3 seals that you need, its $20 plus shipping, it has the one O-ring, micky mouse gasket, and the seal for the drive shaft on the oil pump. Shean

ya thanks for the help, the only thing i had a problem with is to get the pully off the oil pump, but i got a strap wrench and stuff so i will be able tog et it off, then just pull all the old seals and put in the new ones. Shean

i ended up just hammering in a flat head screwdriver and slowly prying the darn things off, chewed up a few places but i already glued them back on. and to secure it im just going to use nuts, bolts, and washers.

ok well i got all the stuff pulled off the front of the engine, alot easier then i expected. but now im trying to take off the driver side timing cover and all the bolt is doing is turning, its not unscrewing, both ways, tighten or loosen, it does nothing but turn. what do you recomend i do to get these dam things out so i can finish this up today. Thanks, Shean

yep as far as i know its still on

no names yet for the wagons, just right now the red wagon and the blue wagon, or the 86 or 87. im thinking radio fyler for the red one, and crypt keeper for the blue, i dunno, im we ta did. anyone got any idears for me?

well i would be finishing everything up right now, but for the last hour ive been ****in with the dam bolts that hold on the outer timing cover, the jackass that put it on before i got the car spriped out every single one, so now i am trying to get them out and its not working, so looks like tomarrow ill get the dremel with soem cut off wheels, and then just use nuts and bolts from now on. also most of the crap is half assed when they put it back together. found most of my oil leaks too, so thats one less thing to hunt for. but everything is going surprisingly easy, i never thought it would be this easy. been working for about 2 ours and have almost everything off the engine.

i would love to make something like that, but the lack of a factory roof rack is hindering it. i might just go find a old rack that hooks to the rain gutters for another car, and cut and build off that frame for mine. but again, very nice job.

i would go with hi-temp silicone, it never hardnes, and much easier to take off when they are replaced the next time compared to that other stuff. thanks for the heads up on the oil pan, it took me like 20 minutes to take off the alt, and mechanical fan/shrowd. now im just waiting for my girlfriend to bring me my haynes manual so i can continue. also talked with my dad and he is going to pay for anything i want done to the car for my B-day present, so im gettin new timing belts, new cam, crank, etc gaskets to seal the engine back up, plus new tires. i cant wait, he said we can go get everything this week, so i can have it done and going by saturday so i can drive it.

thats why i am not using 4wd, i know about that, happened to my grandpa, so i am just driving it like this in and out of the drive way, into to teh garage to do my oil pump stuff, then to get new tires.

ya tell me about it, eariler this year i left my 1978 C10 chevy truck there to come back on monday and find my vent window gone, my tach gone, my CD player gone, and my K&N settup. totally over $300, plus time and moeny for a new window. the school is so ghetto, i dont trust anyone that isnt in my class. PS do i have to take off my oil pan, i hope i dont, i dont wanna mess with that, can i just drain my oil because im thinking of also replacing the cam seals and front main seal to cure my other oil leaks. Thanks, Shean

no the lights are centered, i just didn't pay attition when i took the picture, i was off to the side. and ya i think she looks sweet, but the one problem, the front wheels had a 50 series side wal while the back has a 65 i think it was, and the 50's on front look wussy, so now im going to go buy 4 new tires, maybe 215's in the back... might just stick with 205, and keep her stock height, ill get pictures of the tires upclose later.

ok so after about 3 hours of calling i got the rings and seals i needed to redo the oil pump. but, i dont have the money to get a haynes, i had one and someone stole it from school. so can someone please tell me everything i need to do, step by step, to do this, start to finish. Thanks, Shean

E-Bay, Pug websites, and here. just wait and find ones you really want in good shape. have paitence young grasshopper.

how long do you guys think it would take 1 maybe 2 people to put in a EJ22 and manual AWD tranny. i would rather do that then the d/r 5sp. i got a welder and stuff, also, i would need the essencials, engine/tranny, ECM, wiring harness, and what else from a EJ car. im going to do this rather then replace the motor in my wagon.

well then drive what you wish, i just havent found anywhere to mud, nor do i think all fo us can pile into your car what would be wanting to go. i think the best thing this time would just be a meet and greet, also maybe a little cruse. Shean

no its fine with me if you take them off, sounds like a nice buy, i wish i had a 3dr RX, i saw one yesterday down I-5 south bt the lakewood exit at like 4:45, it was NICE, looked mint. oh well nice find, Shean

well from brads pictures it looks as if he just put the new coilovers over he stock shocks and struts. which is no problem. you just need a spring compresser to compress the spring so you can take it off, other wise your risk taking off a arm or legg when that tension is let off that spring. and i dont mind a harsh ride, my car is too soft for me, also, i had a lowered camaro, and trust me, i can handle the lowered ride. i like it.

I just want to say good luck, because at that price i dont think many people will be buying those, expecally when people are finding springs from older accords and such, also when you can get some nice 450lbs springs off ebay for under $100, most of them are going for $40 to $50. Good Luck, Shean

ok here is the info for driving directions Pepperdock's 2618 ALKI AVE SW, SEATTLE, WA so see you all there at there. Shean

ok sounds good, saturday at 3pm everyone meet at peperdocks, then we can just find some places to chill, bench race, and get some pictures. because ive been driving around all weekend, other then fishing, lookin for offroading places around there, and havnt found crap. so how does this sound to everyone? plus by then, if im lucky, ill have my oil pump redone so i wont havea lifter tap, and maybe some tires with some tread on the rear of my car. Shean

well what sucks is that i was told that 2 tires where toast, which was true, the belt was commin through on them, but the others i was told where good for a 40minute drive every day for work for a little while, and it ends up the are completly bald, so now i have to find some money to go get some tires, also do my oil pump since the ticking is gettin really loud then i can drive to work and school Shean

ya i cant wait to get the coilovers and ajustable perches. ill lower it about 1 inch or maybe a little lower, not too sure. but i think it looks bitchin right now how she sites, expecally from the front, with those wider tires, she looks mean.

they have 205/50's, and thats what im keeping, im not going to lift it, im lowering it. also i put them on and took some more pictures. ^ the front looks much beefier oh ya, the front has a 50 series on the front and the back has a 65.

so what do you all think, they got 205/50/15 cooper cobra GT's compared to the stock 13's with 185/70/13. cant wait to get the lugs tonight so i can mount them and get some more pictures. so what do you think? Shean
