The Scooby

oh i know about the camber issues, but i was wondering if there was a coil-over strut that i can use off like a newer impreza or forester that i can bolt on, and change the firmness of it, so at autoX'ing i can stiffen it up, and crsing its looser. thanks for any more aditional information. by the way, where can i get those springs your talking about. Thanks for the help, Shean

hey, i was wondering if anyone can help me out. i want to lower my ea82 wagon, i dont want to heat or cut the coils on the springs, is there anyway that i can lower my wagon about an inch or even a half inch without doing that. can i run some aftermarket coilovers like skunk II's, KYB or QA1's. i am a great welder and i can make new mounts if i have to. can someone please post some pictures of the stock front and rear coil/shock setups, plus how they mount so i can get an idea on how to make other systems work. Thanks a million, Shean

hey torxxx, just find a new radiator, and swap engines from haggard to this one, and rally the crap out of it. sounds fun huh?? Shean

all i can say is good luck and be carful, i got a restricted lisence now, until im 18, which is april 3rd, 2004, so i got just under 2 months until i get it back, then in july im driving with about 90 other people to phoenix to go to college. but anyways, again good luck and be very careful. Shean

well if you are willing to pay the shipping there is a company called Delta Camshaft in Tacoma, Washington, they make any kind of cam you want, custom to the specs your and them decide on. here is the phone # (253) 572-2474 , give them a call, it should be worth your time.

gregg, like you just said, most likly it is because i had a 94 mazda truck for a while, it had an alarm, and had a toggle, that when flipped one way it would automatically set the alarm after 30 seconds after the car was off and door was shut, other way it turned that function off. Shean

well i can afford $100, but why pay that when people are gettin them from bone yards for $30 to $60 you know what i mean? so im just going to go and pull one my self, rather then deal with that other crap. Shean

Dr. RX, this car isnt for off-roading, i finally decided on that, im going to get a EA81 or older gen 1 brat for that, this is a street car, that is gonna be a s-curve car. mainly autoXing. thanks for the heads up on what the tag looks like, now i know what it says. Thanks again, Shean

hey i had one in my 78 chevy truck, until some wongleflute head broke in when it was parked at my auto tech class on a friday, tole it and my stereo. but i needed it since i was pushing about 400hp, and about 425 tq w/ a 4sp.

you dont you just ahve to change the ring and pinon from the 3.9 stock to the other 3.7 settup? i know there is an atricle on here, but its not really that informative on how to swap the gears, unless i missed that part. Shean

im also intrested if anyone could get some info posted i would be greatful. Thanks, Shean

well i decided to climb under the scooby today to see what gears i do have, and if i do have an LSD, well it ends up i got 3.9's, so now i just have to go find a 3.9 LSD, much easier for me. i thought that 86's didn't 3.9's or was that with a LSD combo?? Shean

congrats on getin it to work.

because, thts a roots style supercharger, thats is driven off the crank pulley that has to have a carburator sit on top, and feed the gas/air mixture into the turbines which blends them and shoves it into the engine. now the reason, a centrifical, its basically a turbo concept, ut is belt driven again and doesn't recirculate the exhaust gases rather just shoves freash air into the throttle body or carburator. centrifical is before the gas, while roots is after. have a nice day and BUMBLE BEE TUNA

i got a set of those EXTREMELY RARE 8 spoke wheels ill give you a great deal on for $200 w/tires, NOW THATS INSANE, IM NOT KIDDING, WITH TIRES, OHH GEE!!! plus shipping. Shean

holy crud, i cant belive someone paid that much for rims, that are a stok set, expecally with no tires, thats ludacris. im trying to find those rims myself, but i will never pay that much.

ShawnW, i would, but wouldn't the bolts for the struts then be too short to put the nots back on, or what are those three bolts for. i was just thinking of making one that mounts to the side of the strut tower be the battery, the front of it facing the headlights, then tie it into the back or top also and triangulate it to ether the bolt whole where the stock spare hold down screws into and have a peice of flat car there and bolt to that. what do you think?

calebz, well from what i can find on the UPS web site is only over night and like 2nd day, so ill have to find something else to check, but the dismentions are 36X2X2 and about 3lbs. im guessing about $10 to ship, thats just shootin form the hip. baccruda, thats true, i didn't really think about that, then i guess i will just stiffen them up, or take the cut-off wheel to them, weld on a larger plate into the brackets on the STB and then bolt it to the tower itself. or figure something else out. plus im thinking of making a new one, but using the solid core round stock in 1inch, may weight more, but less flex, plus it would be stronger, and easier to weld. or use the square tubing i got. who knows, if anyone has sugestion please step forward. Thanks, Shean

so many intrested people before, now none, that sucks, oh well. if you are, reply please, i really need money, and stuff to do at school.

couldn't say it better myself

ok well i finally finished my STB, ive been soo lazy latley and been going to gym so i havent had any time. so if anyone is intrested PM or e-mail me and we can work out pricing, i have ether 1inch steel tubing or 1inch solid round stock to choose from, and strait peaces only, unless i do a triangle and you bolt it into the firewall. so if you intrested please contact me. also the one i made with the round tube only weights about 3LBS, IF THAT MUCH!!

thats sweet man, glad to hear your gettin to spend time with the kids, workin on cars, thats how i learned, my grandpa, he tought me how to dientify olf muscle cars and classics while driving around town and such, had me rebuild a 318 for his van at 10years old, my dad never shared intrest in what i did and still do. but anyways, sounds like your gettin a good deal from a pro engine builder Shean

throw out $650 and see what he says, always lowball them and then work up. i paid $950 for mine, its a 86 GL 4x4 wagon, 5sp, new exhaust, clutch, and tires. also had a freash tune-up, and has only 130,ooo on the ticker, plus it has all power options that a GL could have.

ok then ill just swap the gas tank, and the SPFI stuff from a junk yard car.
