Looks like I've got plenty of places to start for the IAC adjustment. What about the left adjustment screw, for the butterfly valve? I made note of what the gap was, when I took everything off to clean, but each carb was set differently and I just said screw it and figured I could get a better answer on here. Right now I just have the screws set so the valves are completely closed, which won't fly. Thanks for the comments guys.

I've got a dual carb intake that had been sitting a while, so everything needed a lot of cleaning. Well, I've finally finished rebuilding the carbs (I hope they work ) and now would like to get them mounted on the intake. I took a billion pictures before, so I know hose locations and all. Instead, I'm wondering about screw settings and the base gaskets, for starters. I set the floats using numbers in the rebuild kit, but don't have clear info for the screws. Screw settings: I have no idea what is adjusted before it's put in and what is adjusted for tuning. Help... Base gaskets: There is a thick hard piece that is sandwiched between gaskets (intake > thin gasket > hard thing > thin gasket > carb) that raised questions for me. I got a gasket with each rebuild kit, but the water preheat hole is wider than on the hard piece. What is the point of the hard piece? Do I need gaskets that match it exactly? (Need two more gaskets anyway.) Clean carbs.

It's also on hold now. http://www.freep.com/article/20090226/BUSINESS01/902260376/1014/Subaru-Toyota+compact+project+is+on+hold

That's not even half of them.

I'll throw this thread out there. Front LSD would cost, but shouldn't be a "hard" thing to do. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49241

Naw, OS X also has an International System Preference that lets you select different input methods and pallets to use so you can type in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Whateverelseanese and so on. The real problem is that, without knowing Japanese, he'll have trouble translating the thousands of Kanji, Katakana and Hirigana characters into Romanji, so that he can then input them using his English character based keyboard.

The thought had crossed my mind that you might just have 74 of them, but can you really blame me for wanting to get rid of another clutterous piece of crap? :-p

I have a non-modded one lying around...

Agreed. We appreciate different engineering feats. I actually prefer the KISS approach in my cars, but I can't ignore what they did with the Veyron. All the interior plushness is useless for speed, but it is dead weight that they had to push. I'm impressed by the whirlygigs and hockeylockers they had to include in order to move such a boat.

I'm not saying the SSC is made to be a Sunday driver, or that it should be one. It saved a bunch of weight by being focused on speed. I'm just saying that the Veyron has a lot more to it, and it still pulls of an incredible top speed. There is more to it, and it moves it all. The SSC may have less cylinders and more power, but I just don't find that overly impressive. The SSC has more power, a much more aerodynamic shape (that, oddly, doesn't have a much better Cd than the bus, Veyron) and a phenominally lower curb weight, but it only manages 3.63 mph more on the speedo. Perhaps liking the Veyron more makes me "a little old lady or a ****" (whatever a **** is...?). Oh well. Either way, I'm still more impressed with the engineering behind the Veyron than I am with the SSC's. Btw, wouldn't the SSC be better for Andretti wannabes because it's fastAr? (I also think the Veyron looks better... )

I've never been very impressed by the SSC. It's barely faster than the Veyron and doesn't seem like a car you would want to drive day to day. Where as the Veyron is something I could see people comfortably driving wherever they go. All in all, I find it to be a much more impressive feat of engineering. That being said, I'd still rather have the Subie.

Unless they opened it up and took off the e-brake, it is very easy for them to mess something up. If they did take the e-brake off, the chance is less, but still rather likely. Unless you have some sort of tire slip on at least one of your wheels they bind very easily. I don't have enough experience to tell you what is screwed up, but I'd guess that did it. Love to be proven wrong... :-\

I don't understand what people don't like about them. They're a better looking body and [some] still came with the legendary EJ22. I had a '95 auto wagon with the EJ22 and loved it. Even with 238k on the original engine and tranny I was confident enough to let my sister drive it from Washington State to Texas, where I knew she wouldn't have a free mechanic to trouble shoot and fix big problems. It's still going strong 6 months later. If you like the '95 you're looking at, then I can't think of why you shouldn't get it. Just keep them maintained.

Haha, that would have never happened to me, with my old '81 wagon. It was so beat and unique that my first day, at my current job, the security guard stopped me, while I was going through the parking lot. They knew they didn't recognize it and didn't think it could possibly belong. Glad to hear you got yours out with little more than inconvenience.

When you do, send them my way.

If it's there, it'll be just out of view because of where the top of the picture cuts off though. I think the tube my awesomely curvy arrow (drawn with a not so awesome ball mouse) points to comes from it. 9] I stole your picture, I'm sorry. My engine bay does look about the same though, but with more oil.

I scratched the cylinder number each plug is connected to next to each plug on top of the distributor cap. The engine block has the cylinder numbers on it already, so worst case I forget which cylinder is which and have to clean the block a bit before playing connect the dots.

I'd be interested in seeing what happens to the axles if left like that. Whatever it is, I'm sure you wouldn't have to wait long.

My mom and dad have done Plymouth/Dodge Caravan thing. I'm okay with them, but wouldn't touch the snow with one again. I think it's a '98 that they have right now, and it looses its belt when you hit snow because it packs up in front of the engine and knocks it off (twice now). And don't even get me started on working on that thing. I'd own one, but I'd have a mechanic.

They all came welded in. It's not uncommon to have them cut out and converted to bolt in though.

Whoo hoo! Really glad to hear it's back home.

How about right after the cat?

Yeah, check out that engine and it's quad carbs. I'll take one please. kthnxbai

I apologize if I'm coming off rude or like I'm misunderstanding motives. I'm certainly not trying to say anybody on here is wrong. I completely agree that it's a good value if they're only offering you $130. I was just trying to point out that a Brat's value should be higher than a wagon's, so to always take those with a grain of salt. Sorry about that.
