noob2soob

hey i think i fixed it, turns out there was this tube that wasn't connected to my carb and my idle speed was a bit low I'm still gonna get the carb cleaner to see if there is anything else wrong but i figured i should update

looks like I'm finding a 4spd dual range sell me one for 100 bucka hahahaha, jk i wish if/when i do get one I'll be buggin you all for conversion help though, i like having one extra gear

So car was running good, then all of a sudden dies.... i figured it was a leak that i hadn't caught... vacuum wise but then everytime i started it the rpms dropped and wouldn't hold at all, then died again..... but it was workin fine ten minutes before that.......argh.....

oh trust me I'm obsessed haha, i want to get another one for the weekend drive preferable a 5 spd brat (if they exsist?) haha

you could always float the gears lol nah check the cable I'm thinkin thats the problem too

nipper.... your awesome.... lol.... Hey btw I've got custom plates that say Soobie now lol I'll post pics

Thats why i fell in love

Oh I've seend them, and a true soobie always turns their head at another from what I've seen thus far..... I just wanna find some people to ride around with, maybe work on the soobs with together, it's tough in the streets haha! What part of DFW are ya in?

So on my 81 DL it seems like anytime i take a turn on sit on a hill for too long my engine can't handle lower rpm's (anything below 1k) and it dies on me... now the sticker under the hood says the rpm's in idle should be at 700 +/- 100 rpm any clue on what it could be? oh and it doesn't hold a steady rpm at any time if that helps any..... Thanks on any info guys -AJ

Wow thats beautiful.. Congrats I'm jelouse

I'd do this personally---U.S.M.B. I'm gettin a coustom plate that say Soobie haha I'll have pics up But yea either the U.S.M.B. or EA-82

My VW didn't have much but i so miss feelin that super charger do it's work and throw me back a bit... hearin the high pitch whine as i race through the higher end RPMs..... i wish i could put one on my soob without damaging the engine ;.;

Thanks both of you, I'm sure my DL SEDAN (lol) wasn't made for F-1 down shifts but i didn't know if the scratching was screwin it up or what, and i thought maybe somethin had been screwed up before i bought it... i figured it would shift but it wouldn't be good for it.... Frank your oil swap thing is just for cleaning right? and would tightening that cable help it not scratch too or would i still have to rev match??

thats so awesome, imagine if we could get everyone on usmb to meet up there one day, that could be a blast, but alsa would probably never happen

anyone?
