Also could be a clogged radiator, and there alot easier to change then a heater core.

If my memeory serves me correct even 2in blocks have to be offset on the hole to be cambered specific. Or you could just buy a Bill Omlim Monster Lift (beast I drive) They are the burliest and best craftmenship I can think of and you won't have to worry about camber issues. When I went and got my aligment done after all the mods and new tires my camber was spot on.

Make sure your car is running and in park when you check the ATF. Simple I know, but from the sound of things, you need all the help you can get

For the return and evap lines I just used the apropiate sized line for the EJ ends and the used hose clamps on the EA ends (acutally I used hose clamps for all the lines but that is just me) and it worked fine. I have also ditched the charcoal canister and pluged the ends off with some vacuum plugs. But then again I don't have to go through emissions because my car is older. So if you have to go the emmissions you might want to keep the canister on.

Spin one side fo it, if the other axle spin in the SAME!!!! direction then it is an LSD if it spins in the opposite direction thens it is and open diff.

Welcome to the dark side form which you will never return.

Yes pretty much for anything over 2in (5cm) you will want to remove the engine. It makes things alot easier. Keep in mind that when you lift something that much...there is a lot of custom work that needs to follow. Do a search on "lifting" and you will find lots of information on it, and how to do it. Were all here to help.

looks good. Motivates me to hurry up and get mine built.

Ok excuse the snobbery. But we allready have a show for "all other subies" so why would we do a "mini show" or a "mini meet." of subies again? I liked the exclusiveness of just Brats. There is just 360 shows, just camero shows, just mustang shows, etc. So why can't we have a just brat's meet. If you want to change it to a "vintage meet" then ok all are welcome but otherwise I think we should keep it specific. Specific type meets bring on a certain uniqueness to them. Thats what makes them just that, unique. Sure we are all car guys, and that is what brings us together. But having a one specific car that we can talk/look/own is what sets up the bond that binds so to speak. It allows for easier info sharing and a commom comradery of sorts and a gammit of other advantages over and above a general meet of cars. Hope this all makes sense. Cheers.

I might be in. Don't want a tree but a fun time wheelin and shaking out the MAV would be good. Plus I would like to meet you all any ways.

I am tentivally in. Provided it is not too near in the future. I would just put a trip permit on the BRAT. Tight now she is a ruff runner and I need to do a good ol' tune-up at least, to get her running for highway long distance. She is supposed to be a "long" project but I won't tear into her too much knowing this would be coming up within the next 6 months. Beside I haven't even finished with my MAV yet. Just my two cents: I think it should be just a one day thing. Like on a Sunday just a general meet and greet. Maybe some light logging or BLM road stuff for some pics, but just a good ol shop talk in a parking lot and some burgers afterwords would be cool.

there called the half moon dealy ma bobs, that go between the thing a ma jig and the hoozy whatzit Oh wait thats the wrong cupertulater... here try this suby part (I am holding one in my hot little hand right now) PLUG-CYL HEAD #11051AA070 provided that is what your talking about. not sure if they are different from 22 to a 25 but they should be the same.

Help, I am so confused on which wagon to choose. Both are really nice and I like them both alot. They both have EJ22's and are really fun to drive. One is and auto the other a manual. But I only get to choose one. I hate making decisions. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ok, Ok there both mine. The daughter drives the one for college and I was doing some routine maintannce on it plus "fixing" battery light (alternator) and I just so happend to park it next to the MAV, and I was like wow...thats a big difference, I think I will take some pics Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot, But I figured it was more offraod related then anything else

I don't have the specs to the EJ25 but the specs to the EJ22 are as follows, I would assume there about the same. 28-34 nm, 21-25 ft lb... hope this helps

I am not sure about your 84 but my 85 carby wagon... the inlet line was on the bottom by the frame rail... the return and evap lines are up by the brake resivoir. tucked in between it and the brake booster and going into the firewall. the return is the larger one, the evap is the smaller one. I just used the same dia hose from the EJ evap and then put a hose clamp around the EA because it is smaller still. Hope this helps.. Will take pics for you if needed.

Ok so the tires work great. A slight shimmy but nothing like it was. Keep in mind, they are studded tires, I have blown struts all the way around, no stabalizer bar, and a 6in lift. So I am not complaining at all. Before the steering wheel would want to shake right out of my hand. but now I would say 99% improvement. Will see how it goes next spring when I install non studded 31's on it and have new struts up front and coil overs in the back.

All is forgiven...welcome aboard. By the way the beads seem to be working great. I have not had the opportunity to take it on the highway yet but they used to sahke like mad at 35mph and now they are fine. And they are studded tires to top it off. What I ment about knowing who you are talking too is...I am a suby mechanic and I felt as if you were talking to me as a kid on the block. no harm, no foul.

I ran my EJ w/o having my PS pump hooked up for about a week and it did not hurt it a bit. If I understand you correctly you don't have PS. So you can either, A: Put the ej pump on and just don't hook it up and run the stock belt. Don't put any fluid in B: Take a string and tie it around your alt and crank and then go into the parts store and get a belt that will fit. Make sure you get the right size and rib count. C: Convert it to PS like I did my original non PS car. It was real easy. I just got an EA power rack, bolted it in, ran som EJ lines and voila. I had to do a bit of punding and bending to get the lines to fit and curve around right and avoid my exaust but it works.

A little bit of ATF down the cylinders works great, or Marvel Mystery Oil is great for some stack smoking

First off dude you need to realize who your talking to. Second I am not going to pay and did not pay 10-12 bucks a tire to have them mounted and balanced, only to have a lead weight get torn off on a rock or a root. I got them mounted for free by a fellow mechanic freind who still has a job at a shop (did you get that...a fellow mechanic friend...and still has a job in this economy) and I can break the beads and re-set them myself. Or go over to a shop that might let me borrow there tire machine after hours. I have a digital scale that I use for weighing out all my gear (or the lack there of) for backpacking and can "balance" them myself. Whats' it gonna hurt...nothing, and am out only ten bucks for the big container of beeds, instead of 50-75 bucks. So I'll risk it...thanks.

Thanks, I knew someone would come through. I think I will go with the "tire size" part of the chart because they are calulated for 4ply tires instead of c rated semi truck tires. I just made my 235/75/15 a 29 x 8.5 x 15 tire so 4 ounces should do the trick. Going to put them in today and then get an alignment. But with my alignment I am going to bring 5 gallon bucket s of sand and place them in the key areas of the car (weighing the buckets first of course) to get the "respective" trail wieght. This will give me a more true and accurate alignment. Plus I am going to be there to watch...don't trust the guys...per-se. Thanks again

Looks good man. I love those tires. They will be super grippy in the snow.

Ok first off please forgive my redundancy here. I did a search yesterday on air soft pellets for tire balancing. It gave a few specs but not all. It said that someone had come up with a spread sheet of the formulas on how many ounces to add per tire size. The thread I read stated something like 3 ounces of .12 gram pellets for a 225/75/15 I have 235/75/15 studded snows, so I was thinking about maybe adding 1/4 ounce more or so. But I am a man of prescision and was wonder/wanting to find that spread sheet so I can make sure I am on target here. I tried doing a search today but came up with nothing. I would really love to get a-hold of that spread sheet so I can print it out for future use. thanks in advance... And some body please get back to me before my tires are totally scrubbed/cupped/worn weird...becasue they are already starting to get that way.

Some weirdo street vendor was sellling them cheap, so I bought one.
