  1. I may come out to firestone aswell, especially if the camo wagon will be there!
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  6. 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
  7. 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,
  8. 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.
  9. Is it me....or is your diff crooked? looks kinda spazzy to me!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. pencil me in too! I'd really like to come, but have no idea what my schedule will be this summer (which may make it easier to do something like this...and it may not), I like the Iowa idea, although Sarah and I are thinking of roadtripping down to Chicago sometime this summer, so that direction would be fine too!
  13. I'm looking at doing dual side-dumps with a crossover, but I'm worried about smashing them... but, back on topic here, my friend who's doing the welding job on it, is using the stock flanges and whatnot, off of the old system, and using a gutted, stock cat as the "Y" he seems to think it's solid
  14. Great idea...but what do you do with the axle after it's disconnected from the diff?
  15. if it's a solid runner, I can have it out of you're driveway by the weekend. but if it needs a trailer/dolly then...no, it needs to be a reliable daily driver for 6 months or so, but this summer, we can strip it at my parents, and I have some connections to get rid of it then (I'll probably be scrapping what's left of the GL then too, and I know a guy with a 2 car flatbed), flag me down on MSN if you see me, and we can talk more about it
  16. Give it to me and Sarah, then when we find her a nice MT D/R one (and some money, she just bought a viola) we'll strip it at my parents place, lots of space there!
