Yes, 4 ohm is the standard for auto speakers, 8 for home use... The Brat I'm getting next week has dome fully sealed speakers behind the seats similar to these I'll snap some pics of the actual ones that it has as soon as I get the vehicle

Give it a burl anyway, non interference engine so you won't damage much if the belts let go

Keeping the wagon for now at least, OC_Subiewrench is the one to blame for me getting into Subies at all! He's a freaking champ! we've talked about meeting up half way between NY and MO for a Brat weekend, might just have to do that soon! I'm planning on leaving it pretty well stock, if I can fit it in I want to do an alt upgrade, larger battery, some driving lights... not going to mod it like crazy at all because she'll be my daily driver. There's a bit of rust that needs to be dealt with, just the rear wheel wells (of course) shouldn't be too bad though! The GL-10T wagon on the other hand will be slowly brought to a good level of mechanicals and interior... probably a 5 speed swap and I'll prolly rebuild the engine while I have it out for the trans swap... It's a long road ahead for it but I think we'll get there in time! I've also added the pics to my album incase the dealership takes the pics down soon...

Come next Wednesday and this vehicle will be in my driveway... talked to the owner, he's giving it to me for $2600, engine and trans are out of another Brat, topper is in good condition, he's got another 'H' style rim with a good tire on it, some spare door panels, the skid plate (removed for oil changes and left off cos he never off roaded it), spare cyclops light assembly, a pile of new oil filters and some other misc stuff he's dug up! happy happy joy joy! I'll upload some more up close and personal pics of her as soon as she's in my possession!

I'd be switching out the air ride suspension... that's normally junk from what I've seen and read... do a search for suberdave's GL wagon... that thing is a vision!!

He came back... after 5 hours! claims the cars got a lot of oil leaks... funny, I've never seen much more than a drop or two on the floor in my garage... And sadly, I am now without an operable car... oh wait, there's a BIG roll of the green stuff in my pocket, I guess it's not ALL bad after all!

One step ahead, that's all I gotta be Dunno if I should worry, that guy's not back with the Mazda yet! been 3 hours... heh, he probably took it to a chop shop...

good luck finding it now mate! It's not there! It's been moved to a secret location and has my name on it

the vultures are circling already The GL-10T is probably going to sit in the garage while I give her a thorough going over, I think it'll be a good vehicle for family road trips... better gas mileage than the wife's '96 Isuzu Trooper, more room than the Brat... I'll let ya know though, wifey may want it out of here The Mazda is off at Aasby's on Glenstone getting checked over by a mechanic, if all goes well I hope to have a check in my grubby little hand within an hour...

Fender flares? whatcha got in mind there dude? And yes, pending a mechanical inspection on a certain black Mazda tomorrow I should be driving a vehicle with certain "spoilt little child" attributes by tomorrow evening!

Bwahahaha! With the doors welded shut ya can just sling the kidlets in through the window Sounds like my wife would get along great guns with yours!

Congrats bro! Happy that it worked out!! I'll be facing a similar deal here in a few days (hopefully!)

Yes, I'm making fun of rednecks and they way that they are stereotyped as marrying their sisters or other close relatives

Daggum! Uncle Dad said he'd have my wheelin' rig back before I gotsta take Aunty Sister to the county fair!

I'd try bleeding the lines some more... Also, the rad probably won't work as well as it did when mounted vertically, that said I've seen some guys running horizontal mounted rads with a pair of thermo fans on top to draw or push air through...

Cut the doors... weld them shut first though...

Uhhh... You're gonna need a timing light to set the timing correctly... put the induction clamp on the #1 lead, then point it at the timing marks with the engine running... You will also need to connect the green connectors under the dash. rotate the dizzy until the timing mark lines up with 20 on the flywheel

Way to Wiki dude

Isn't that like trying to buy gas without going to a gas station?

Thanks Daeron, I'll grab a new rad cap next time I stop at the auto parts store... I hear what you're saying about the availability of the injector plugs, my garage time is kinda limited due to a 4 month old baby in the house so I'm trying to juggle this vehicle repairs, work and helping the wife out... Truth be told I'm itching to get to a junkyard but haven't yet had the opportunity to! 85T-REX: I'm gong to grab a new air filter in the next few days, the one that is in there is fairly grubby, but there's no big patch of oil on it at all. I unplugged the MAF yesterday and the vehicle won't even start without it plugged in, it'll crank and kick once but nothing more.

Yeah, I've got them on my '88 GL-10T wagon... I'll try and post pics tomorrow... *EDIT, pics added

I've checked the vac lines, they ARE hooked up correctly per the sticker under the hood. I'm not ruling out a vac leak, I certainly think there is one somewhere but I've got things plumbed per the diagram I'm not trial and erroring here, I'm systematically working through all the options I know of until I find which one corrects the problem. I pulled the connectors to the fuel injectors and cleaned them off today, they had a bit of oxidation on the connectors. I now have a moderate idle with occasional misfire, but I'm still not 100% convinced that the ignition timing is right. I'm also supecting a head gasket because of the bubbling in the overflow tank. The rad cap is on tightly so I know it's not that. I'll be getting a comp tester on Monday as well as a timing light, I've been busy with work so I haven't had a chance to buy them yet.

looks GREAT!! Are those lights just mounted to the front bumper or have you got a light bar on there? (kinda hard to see from the pics)

vac lines all check out OK... Cam timing is correct, haven't got my hands on a timing light to check ignition timing, noticed that whenever I stop cranking there's a lot of air bubbling into the coolant overflow tank. Boost light still will not function... I'll try and shoot a video of it tomorrow, maybe the actual sounds will help a bit! Also, discovered that it runs exactly the same whether or not #1 plug wire is connected... I'm thinking it may be a bad injector, the #1 plug isn't fuel drenched... Bout to the point of wishing I hadn't bought this thing!

Tell them to fix it right, if they're not willing then file with the Better Business Bureau...
