  1. After doing headgaskets, they often have to be retourqed after, about 500mi. of driving. Unless they otherwise specify with the gasket. Felpro permatourq gaskets I think are the best, and strongest way to go. If you do not retourqe, non-permatourqe gaskets, they will blow again. especially on an ea82. just a thought

  2. uugghhmm-- I'd have to disagree with all these fine folks;) . I would for sure go with the EA81 (1.8L) Brat for the Dakar. It has just been my experences that they are the most reliable over EA82(for sure) and probably most EJ serie motors. the motors are gear-driven, which makes them practically bullet proof. the Brat is very light weight. It'd be easy to put in a roll bar, and whatnot. the 4 speed, dual-range transmission has nice low gearing, and will easily push high RPMs. and I KNOW the Brat goes GREAT in the sand -- STOCK. But it all sounds like really great advice!

  3. I'm sorry to hear about that. Just forgive and move on; don't let that mean old woman get ya down! Fck 'em if they can't take a joke...cuse ya know what...Soobs Rock Teh Noobs!!!

  4. It's tufff to say, with such a short lift. If you are looking to put bigger tires under it, I've heard 3inches of lift (for EA81) is perfect to fit 27" tires. You might need to lengthen the steering column. but shifters? I wouldn't think so. heh, do it, and you'll know!

  5. Funny thing is, when he starts off-roading it the body is going to go crinkle! It is unavoidable. Personally, I hate to see cars like that in such nice shape, lifted. They loose their value, and i'm sure it will get dinged up eventually. Looks lilke Nice work though (on the outside) Like the jump-seat setup for sure.
