  1. Hows the ride with the cut turbo springs? Does your rear suspension have bumpstops on it?
  2. Totally agree, but unless he actually needs to carry a bunch of extra luggage, I think leaving it off in the name of rust prevention/performance is the prudent choice. That said, putting on some period correct accessories and JDM go-fast bits would certainly make up for the lack of trunk bling. Did you reclock your rear torsion bars, or do the 2WDs normally sit that low?
  3. Uggg, I still need to get mine installed... At least it will be dry and warm outside soon!
  4. Hey, I replied to your PM about those center caps about two months ago, you still around?

  5. What tires are you running and in what size? I just ordered a set of Kumhos in a 175/70 because there aren't enough decent tires made in the EA81T specific 185/70s anymore, boo hoo... I was wondering what you found to shod your Enkeis.
  6. +1 Some bits might look nice on an STI. The rear "wing" for example might become a staple with the US show scene, who knows.
  7. Still looking for the Justy cargo cover?

  8. I'm not 100% sure what size they are, but I can measure them tonight when I get off work.

     

    BTW, you should allow private messages in your user CP. I never look at this section of my profile and wouldn't have noticed unless the forum prompted me...

  9. Just finished video #1, interesting idea... I've been looking for a way so hasten my wagon's molasses-slow 4.0:1 ratio.
  10. There is a reason they don't install EA82s in experimental aircraft... What company builds that setup?
  11. Get it, but not for $3K. If you decide you don't like it, you can always sell it to me!
  12. Glad to hear the parts car worked out for you, mostly, it sounds like. One benefit of really rusty cars is easy disposal. You can practically kick them into a pile of dust and sweep them into the garbage. Keep those photos coming!
  13. Uhhh, my tach just started doing this... Anyone figured out a soultion yet? Anyone have a NOS tach sitting around? I'm 90% sure the tach and speedo, if not all the gauges, are removable from the cluster.
  14. Seriously cool stuff Corky, I have a NOS set of the side emblems if you'd like to show them to your resto guy as a reference. I'd like to see your coupe in the flesh sometime too.
  15. Yes, I still have the justy cargo cover.

  16. +1 Thats why we became members here, er, for the counseling, not the flame-throwers...
  17. Hahahaha, BRATFINK!!! Looks like a fantastic start and I know I'll be ordering at least one. I would suggest however, removing the flames, just too busy with them in the drawing, in my opinion. And dude, we know Brats didn't have beam front axles, c'mon!
  18. Take that digital door-stop and throw it as far out to sea as possible. I'm VERY pleased with my analog dash swap and will NOT be looking back.
  19. They'll work. I've got a set of Yokohama race tires on a set of Enkei wheels, works fine.
  20. Cheap tricks in a V8 pickup. Looks good though. I like the primered look with black wheels, very undercover.
  21. Eventually, yes it will probably break on any of the transmissions. The rear portion of the drive train was only designed for half the vehicle's power. Putting 100% through the back and going crazy with drifting, burnouts and such, things probably won't last too long. I'll let you know how it works out on mine... .
  22. You've got me thinking now Tex. How can I make our shop more secure... :-\
