exhaust hit a rock on the beach and ripped the exhaust stud out again grrrr.... oh well. got some 6inch KC daylighters at the portland swap meet on saturday. thats a big frickn show. tons of gearhead stuff. picked em up for 10 bucks. took my old headlights and modded the lenses to fit the bulbs. definently not a light to use to see far down the road. offroad lights period unless you have the factory 130watt quartz bulbs. i wish : D anyways got em mounted on my roof and wired in

i am so glad i rev match on a daily basis hah. my clutch cable broke yesterday. luckily i only had to stop 3 times. id end up taking off from a stop light with the engine off in gear and starting it to go. worked fine. the dowel or whatever youd call it on the clutch pedal end of the cable broke off. so i took one of those 10guage wire crimps and saudered it to the cable with a washer behind it. now i just gotta adjust the cable to the right spot.

ive already considered the coolant passages. im going to plumb in some fittings. and just run a hose from one side to the other. ive read and heard that these intakes dont flow that well. plus the coolant runs through it meaning hotter air which is bad. and well what the hell why not. hah -
ok well first off i saved a weber from being scrapped : D FREE well instead of throwing it on the stock manifold i decided im gonna try to build a custom intake for ************z n gigglez. the picture i drew up on paint is what the layout is gonna be. im thinkn 1 1/2" metal conduit. i have the flanges made up for the heads. im just trying to get some more input b4 i move on. all is appreciated plz point out ne flaws you see. thanxs : D

;)well i got the bearing changed tuesday. yay... well i noticed the tire settles funny. like the top is toed towards the car. camber i think. i always get camber and caster confused. hah so the side exhaust mounted up good and solid. but since its on the drivers side the engine torques up on that side which in turn rotates the exhaust up and broke one of my flange bolts lmao so i literally need muffler bearings or somthin haha. maybe one of those burly flexible metal tubes would work too.

in the proceess of the 6 lug swap. got two wheels done. 15 x 7s. i just need to decide on tires. the wheels alone stick out an inch and 3/4 gonna look sick. shootn for 26 - 27.5. tallest i measured you can go without rubbing on the the inside of the fender where its pretty rigid. on the front that is. idk about the back it looks like itll be about the same of course ill be triming the fenders haha. Tire recommendations are very welcome thanxs : >

spfi -carb manifold.....
87glsubie replied to 87glsubie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
if it does i was gonna mod one to mount a carb on. will this mount up to my ea82 carb engine or is there some inconvenient coolant passage issue.
