sorry man....I didn't know we were leaving, then I realized that chris and martin were warming up their cars...and I don't know my way out of there, so I kinda had to take off. BTW: that guys name is Fuji here are some pics that martin took (mine didn't turn out very good, way too dark. And a bit later (after broken front CV )

that is my thread...still running just a Y-pipe, but disabled the ASV's as described in both threads, and running the Y-pipe of my loyale, which has a good cat, and may be of slightly different design (since it's for an FI motor, not a carbed one). the backpressure of a good cat, instead of a rotted out one, helped a TON.

I made it home just fine...but as I was turning around in a gas station down the street, I blew out my front CV (the one that was clicking badly when I pulled in/out), just popped it in 4WD and drove home, then pulled the axle and did a few brakestands....pics/video to come! Good to see everyone!

I too would like to know (sorry for the lack of insight...btw), as I blew my CV last night, pulled the axle when I got home, and have been running in RWD all day....kinda fun, will probably drive to duluth tomorrow on it. I also do alot of mudding, so I will be getting a new front axle, but should I keep the stub around for future use? or return it towards the deposit...

I love the wagon! looks even better in person. and so does the brat! (that's right, kurt did show up, not long after you guys left...) also....remember that noise coming from my car as I pulled in? well, let's just say I completed my RWD conversion...

July weekends are going to be pretty busy for me....

it's been said, but I'll say it again...relays...gotta have relays just wired up some combo fog/driving lights on my bumper, used some radioshack spst toggle switches instead of the included spdt switch so I can turn them on independent of each other. I love offroading at night, for some reason I find it much more enjoyable than during the daytime.

ha ha, no, I'm in the cities at my parents house for spring break this week.

I may come out to firestone aswell, especially if the camo wagon will be there!

I'm having problems downloading it, download accelerator refuses to connect, could just be the program, but it's the only way I'm going to get it over dial-up

I know , I've been in touch with PK for about a month now, and he hasn't said it isn't possible, but he also hasn't said whether he has one done (as it would probably need to be shipped out....like today), nor have I paid him, so I'm not sure....at this point, I'd be willing to cough up some extra $$$ for a faster shipping service.

any chance of me getting a 4" ea82 lift SHIPPED to me by next week? I hope you've got one made and can ship it soon! I really want to get this done over spring break.

They're crap....give it to me

If I'm there, so will Sarah!!!

that's right, I never even thought about my own experience, had a rear axle nut come off, and therefore drum...wheel...etc. and it hit the ground alright, of course, I had my bass amp and a lawn mower in the back at the time....hmmm

autox might be a bad idea with true 4x, would need ft4wd for that, you'd be binding so bad otherwise. unless you can convert the tranny, I'd say stick with ice racing/rallyx,

not me!

official vote for the Black hills here!

That's why he's saying specifically a back wheel, I think the car is front-heavy, so if a front wheel falls off, the car falls to the ground, but without a back one, the suspension arm may just dangle in thin air.

Agreed, those two get very little traffic.

HO-LY CRAP!!! Nice!!!

Is it me....or is your diff crooked? looks kinda spazzy to me!

yep, ASV's = Air Suction Valves, I'm not exactly sure as to their purpose, but they allow fresh air back into the exhaust, either to cool it down, or allow the cat to do a more efficient job, well, I disable mine and it turned my one HUGE shotgun shot backfire, into popping/crackling, at the worst. Also, i know I have a vacuum leak in the emissions system somewhere, the cap/rotor/plugs/wires all need replacing (but I just don't want to put any money into a motor that's going to gain donor status in less than a month), but the timing is DEAD on, and I've tried advancing/retarding it, and found that advancing it a couple degrees helped some also. I hope this helps, I realize we're talking about slightly different engines here, so some of this info will need to be modified for your use, but it's a start.

My GL does this...disabling the ASV's helps (I think EA81's had them), I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with my incredible lack of exhaust backpressure, which I think is also the reason it's got no power, I'll know more when I get my new exhaust on it. So for the meantime, I just don't make any sudden throttle changes, always very smooth, let the RPM's come down.
