  1. Interior run the road view is 0-55 and the second is a rolling start to 55. Be patient takes around a week lol http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m171/Caramanos2000/?action=view&current=PICT4413.flv http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m171/Caramanos2000/?action=view&current=PICT4411.flv What do you guys think? Windows are down will try for a fly by later. Excuse my shifting, still learning.
  2. Well I have only ever seen 1 manual here in Puerto Rico other than mine :-\ But I agree that tranny is crap
  3. Ok guys need some advie. IM considering rescuing a 87 sedan that was in a frontal impact. The drivers side fender is busted, drivers side turn signal and the radiator is leaking badly. It starts and runs fine with 88k miles on the odo. Its an auto with new axles. The read trunk are was also damaged and its hard to get the trunk to close. It does have some rust in the back on the body. Especially the area around the trunk gasket. The interior is the best part id say almost mint $200 is the best I could get it for? Idea would be a new fender and light, new radiator and full tuneup with the intention of having a reliable car for under 1k including the car and parts, doable?
  4. Same person that did the 5spd swap would be doing it. He told me hed never attempted it so....??? lol He is a subaru guru though. He has many subarus for parts. I would also need and EA to EJ tranny adapter correct?
  5. Ok so I am getting a little spending money and i want to finish off my Wagon AKA 4xPoor Current radiator leaked one day and then vanished :-\ the fins are badly rotted so I was thinking of picking up a Turbo one at autozone for $140 Only one I could find at all in Puerto Rico. Also toying with the idea od AC, but I am unaware of costs. The comp. need to be sealed, orings, AC dryer and a new condenser how much you guys think that would set me back? Would also like to upgrade my brakes, perhaps a kind soul will sell me a rear disc conversion Perhaps some new brembo solid rotors and what pads? They would see occasional autoX. Anything else you guys suggest so I can have the most reliable vehicle possible Would like to know my oil pressure my gauge slowly stopped working and now is totally gone:mad: suggestions? Would obviously like to spend the least possible. axles crap pads crap shoes repaired calipers seafoamd new air filter new fuel filter new fuel pump plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor PCV 5spd swap with new clutch kit 4 new tires new sylvania headlights W. blades cleaned all grounds and installed grounding kit cleaned rust and corrosion from fusible links and TPS timing belts both alternator belts Currently 84k on the odo Dare I say an EJ swap intead of all the amenities? If the engine is around $700 how much can I complete a swap for?
  6. If your gonna do rally make a decent cage for it since your gonna be going faster. I like rally more:)
  7. Either your caliper piston seals are bad or your master cylinder is bad. This same issue with the ebrake happened to me when my master cylinder went out. I replace it and repaired both caliper pistons and all was normal again Good luck
  8. Wish I had the time and money for such an amazing build Mad props :slobber:
  9. Use the best heat resistant epoxy you can find to plug the over drilled one
  10. Checked and I found the Accel. Here in Puerto Rico the BLaster 2 is $37.99 and the Accel is $49.99. Is the accel worth the extra $$? Im going to be using my autozone rewards to buy it lol
  11. My coil seems to have a bunch of tiny little cracks. They look tiny and are barely noticeable but id rather be safe. Would a MSD Blaster 2 be a good idea for live $35? Update on my exhaust video post: will be posting in a day or two, gonna be repairing some weld cracks.
  12. Ok guys been looking at this: http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=4 and http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=3 http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=72 I would like too make something if possible similar to these items I work at a paintball shop and have access to plenty of Co2 and tanks. I have a nice 2.5lb tank I am wanting to use Does this even work? Say a claim somewhere as to a 9% gain in a stock NA Civic. The fuel block seems easy to fab something of the sort and maybe a copper coil inside the intake would work like there bulb. What I am concerned about is the solenoids and switches etc.. You guys think something like this is worth pursuing?
  13. Affraid of that but its Puerto Rico so not sure:( If I post a video of mine doing some runs and passes will you give me your opinions if I should leave it as is?
  14. My favorite pic of all time (taken by me) at the local track Have plenty more not bad for an amateur ehh? Some videos of drag racing STIs (icky drag racing ) STI vs Supra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ4EpAlEA6o 700+ WHP STI Dyno Run 9.2 sec 1/4 mile Being Naughty (dont know him) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3fcQ0aIr8&feature=channel_page
  15. It has a full 2" exhaust with no cat. or res. just has a cherry bomb glasspack at the end
  16. The guy has been selling the SVX for over a year lol. Its fully equipped and in mint condition. T04 turbine, turbonetics blow off, HKS front mount Int., auto meter gauges, walbro 255, haltech f98, stainless brake lines, 19" wheels, 2 1/2" exhaust with magnaflow ends. Here it is: http://www.clasificadosonline.com/UDTransDetail.asp?AutoNumAnuncio=965451 BTW found it by accident AFTER knowing about it for several months Sadly it has an extra 0 at the end of the price versus the EA-82 which I cant afford lol
  17. My mechanic tipped me off on a EA-82 Wagon 4x4 5spd DR for $400 in great shape. 30 min later im on my way to see it when I get a call from the seller saying he sold it :mad: WHYYYYYY??? I have yet to see another one in this good shape for $400 and in fact its the first 5spd DR I had heard of in Puerto Rico The hunt goes on I suppose Did see a Turbod SVX for $4,500 with 28k miles lol.
  18. Can anyone post some videos of there EA-82 with no muffler plz
  19. Clean the fusible link contacts and the Throttle position contacts
  20. Try cleaning the TPS contacts and all the fusible link contacts.
  21. Not all of them have dual ranges. If the body is good its a good cand. for an EJ22. Look for: bad axles, rusted radiator, take a look at engine oil and coolant, check dif. oil, and of course how badly it leaks oil. Might also want to ask when the last timing belt change was Those are the basics im sure someone else will elaborate I would buy it
  22. Cops are the main issue, currently have a cherry bomb and no cat
  23. Actually with steelies even if I had drilled rotors no one could see em Point taken though
  24. Well.... :rolleyes: rice If I can get it for like $30 and have it sound nice welll
