sounds like its ground out, take it apart and check the wiring.

its easier to swap in a D/R then it is to swap intake manifolds, and wire in SPFI as well as change fuel pumps and such. so just find a SPFI D/R car if thats what you want. i personally swapped in a EJ22 into my 86 and LOVE the power it has, its a very common swap and great for a daily driver. also if you want to do any kind of offroad get some decent M/T's, i went with A/T's because its my daily driver and thats what i could get for free and i HATE THEM. get the TSL SSR's, they will last just fine if you dont drive the car like its a race car.

if i remember correctly Cusco makes a 1, 1.5, and 2 way clutch LSD, but you are looking at $1200 + for it. so if you really want one you can have one but at a cost for then the car is probably worth.

So I made this jig for the CNC...
The Scooby replied to RenaissanceMan's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
thats cool and all but i would rather re drill the factory hubs to 6lug, it looks so much better and is stronger then re drilling the rims. -
rule of thumb for cutting springs?
The Scooby replied to hatchsub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
when you shorten the spring you effectively raise the spring rate so it will be stiffer. which unless you have new struts its gonna ride like a honda, all bouncy and such. ive done it to drop the car for a week or so so i can see how the springs i ordered would sit, only as a temporary thing. -
heater not hot enough :(
The Scooby replied to bicycle_ben's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
^gee that was alot of help... i would make sure that your blend door is working properly. its common on the EA81's that the cable will slip and it just push luke warm air. -
New interior in my IROC camaro
The Scooby replied to hatchsub's topic in Non Soob Cars and Bikes Discussion
nice i did the same thing with my 83Z28 i had years back. swapped from the tan interior to the black and red just like yours. i miss that car, 314RWHP 376RWTQ. -
i like it, i would just rather have the large image on the back, but thats me.
-
im sorry then because the car's here on the coast have a bolt that holds in the starter on top and bottom... i only work on these cars for a living and have every nut and bolt memorized.

*teaser* rear EJ brakes on EA car..
The Scooby replied to PoorManzImpreza's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
i can't wait to see the write up on this as well as the specs, i wouldn't mind doing that rear upgrade as well as the fronts. -
Gloyale: when subaru switched to the 8 bolt bell housing the lower stud was replaced with a bolt for the engine to tranns.

I guess I am back in the ea82 world!
The Scooby replied to RenaissanceMan's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
nice pick up, too bad its not SPFI, i do miss my turbo 86 3DR i had in highschool. -
ya thats fine, just bend them, bolt them up and bolt them on.
-
thats how my SJR lift is on the back, never had any problems. i just put locktyte on all the hardware.
-
ya for the 4inch, 2inch that is not needed
-
why? just use 2 different steel plates, no room to make 1 large one.
-
i might have some time later today. i know he discontinued the 2inch kit. i would just get the 4 pieces of steel, drill the wholes 2inches apart and bend them out at about 15 degrees and call it good.
-
you can do it that way, but i like the way SJR does it, 2 pieces of steel plate bent at like a 15degree angle and bolted to the stock mount. a lot faster and easier to install.
-
you might have issues with your front CV's rubbing on the sub frame. i do atleast with the SJR 2inch lift. on the back, all you do is remove the 2 17mm bolts that hold the top of the strut to the body. grab the mount and twist it 180degrees. then you get your 2inch plate to drop it and bolt it up.
