Yep I forgot to mention that you will need something else for the rear struts. Perhaps RX rear struts would lower it. Cheers!

Prices are listed on the site, if you look at each wheel individually.

Might want to check around, any EJ (Impreza strut setup will work on that car) Stock WRX struts might lower it a little.

Thats looking good! I like those wheels on there, very fitting.

This sounds right. No re-torque, and you can used the original bolts, they are not stretch bolts like the EJ motors.

I can't even see the timing window on the side, I haven't adjusted my timing by light either. Just by ear.. Only problem I have is, my disty is fully retarded and I get ping now and then. Why its at fully retarded escapes me, I dunno if someone put the disty back in, a tooth off or what? The 3F-E is a slow revving motor, so these aren't the quickest off the line, shifting around 2500-3000rpm at most, with moderate acceleration. I was told not to rev these motors to hard, as they are an OHV Pushrod motor, but then again, so is the EA81. So I don't get it? Why wouldn't this motor handle higher RPMs well? Pushrod V8s can take higher rpms. Anyway, these do ride nice, and ride even better with new heavier duty suspension. It will be firm and bouncy, but smooth I like driving the FJ80 a little more then the Subaru, but the MPG kinda sucks, if you know what I mean...!

Perhaps I can pick it up today as well. Then I can get the interior back in this weekend.

Someone got lazy apparently lol. Did you also adjust them while the motor was pretty hot? I guess that is the correct way to do it, I burnt my hands enough when I did mine lol. 2 people makes it go easier though (Thanks dad!) That thing looks better already! It is coming along nicely man. Needs something to break up all the white, wow! A black molding, mirrors or something lol. You can make a thread if you'd like, you are also welcome to post updates here as well. I guess this is the Landcruiser thread

Never happens to me, but then again, I have SPFI. Try replacing the PCV. Also, does an Oil Catch can remedy this?

I know there was talk of what you can use in place of the Cybrid steering fluid, as it is costly. Do you know what is wrong with the unit? Nice score though! The main point is, looks rust free! ER27 FTW! You can really feel those 135hp with the 5spd.

I read this whole thread, interesting idea for sure. I'm not gonna post any technicals as I don't want to get into thinking about it right now Would be cool to see this idea, realized.

That is 100% what I try to do as well, I don't have any photoshop programs, and my Fuji S5700 camera doesn't hold a lot for settings other then Full Manual mode (Shutter speed, Aperture, and something else) I try to take the clearest images I can, with the most depth and color, reflection, and what I am seeing to project the right emotion. I've gotten better over the years for what I am working with. Now, not to make this a Photo class thread That sucks about the Tire, What tires are they? Discount tire might have them and for cheap if you want two replacements. Or keep an eye on craigslist for 4 matching tires.

Indeed, that is interesting. I wonder if the two gears are made out of different composites? One being more susceptible to damage.

I'm not real familiar with BMWs, but know a few of them We had an '81 320i 3-spd Auto (Interesting car) Pure Germany lol. The bumper fairing gave it away that its an M3 The LS are nice cars, Probably the only Lincoln of that year I would buy. Some of the new ones are cool too. Smooth power. And that picture is awesome! I love Photography, angles, lighting, ect.

That is really, ummm.... Crap! Where is this?

Take some video of the action!

Does your exhaust still have the factory heat shields on the cats and midpipe? They could just be expanding from the heat. I have a new factory exhaust with heat shields on my EA82, and there is a tinging while running, and cooling.

That is possible. I am just now getting into carbs, so you'll have to pardon my ignorance, its a learning curve. But then again, its all shear mechanics and pretty straight forward for the most part. I know my old EA81 Hitachi had a hiccup when I'd rev it more then 1/4 throttle off idle. But then again, my carb was original and probably worn. Once it was off idle, you could rev it WOT with out any issues. Just of idle it would stumble.

Wide Open Throttle (I know, I just figured that out a few months ago lol) Choke shouldn't be an issue with the DGEV, I forgot, did you get a new carb or used? For starting, I would push the pedal down fully once, let it up, then start. Holding the pedal down isn't needed.

Lol. Its a Weber swap EA82 IIRC Secondary no opening right away? Take the air cleaner off, and rev it by hand and see what the carb is doing.

This remedy your issue?

Looks great! Gonna be an SUS clone? Whos M3? And if that a Lincoln LS in your Avatar?

The harness is kind flopping back into place, its been out so long, with the sun beating on it, its lost a little of its shape, it I think I can figure it out. I'm gonna buy one of these sometime! R160 Diff Cover
