hmmm, i might be needing to get in touch with you about the ea81 5 lug conversion. ive heard that you either have to lengthen the arms or shorten the axles, im open to either, but id like to see how you did yours.

my brat has the side step andhead rests for the seats, when i get it done, i wont have a need for em. hit me up some time, i might be able to help out.

thanks gary.

good point, i think ill try it.

i am really tempted to get the swap bits from the yard i go to, but they tend to be pricey

another thing i was thinking, if you are getting spark at the disty, but its not leaving, have you checked to make sure the rotor is turning? like i said, i can help you out with a distributor, but it really doesnt sound like its the problem. have you checked the driver side timing belt? sorry to sound like a broken record, but it really doenst sound like the disty is bad. but if you really want, i can sell you the one i have, not sure if i will buy it back cause i really needs the money right now, butthats another story. before you go through the effort of buying the disty, check a few more things first. and listen to GD, he is rarely ever wrong.

possibly. ill send you a pm or send me one, but for now, i am going to bed before i pass out.

i have to agree with that, as much as id like to sell you one of my spares cause i could use some $, i dont want to make you spend money you dont have to. if you are getting spark at the cap but not the plugs, then its most likely the cap, rotor and wires. try giving it a good tune up and see if that fixes it, just from what you said, i think that should be all you need.

as long as what you have is an electronic distributor and not vac advance, it should be fine. i think, ive only ever played with te turbo engines, perhapse we should find a second opinion though. but if its what you need, i got a regular one floating around somewhere in my parts stash.

i might could have what you need, have a few around i think, and ive even got a hand polished ditsy for the ea82. ith any of the ditsies i have, you will need to swap over the seal at the top, cap, rotor, and plug at the bottom. i think there are like three different plug types, but they are all the same at the distributor end, so that is why youll need to swap those out. let me know what you need and what not, obviously, if you want the polished ditsy, its a bit more than the others cause it took a while to shine up, lol.

thats what i was trying to say, lol. i should have known what it was called since i just unpacked one last night. on that note, dont leave car parts in the shipping boxes in the bed of a brat during winter, that was nasty.

that looks like it might be worth looking into though, wqhen i start working , i might want to try em out.

i can get em through advance auto parts, i think they are over night availability for me, if you cant find em, let me know and ill see if i cant help you out.

if that is what i think it is, its the anti backfire valve, or something along those lines. think it keeps the engine for backfiring under deceleration.

only cost me about $50 to get a few rocker chunks made at a metal shop, just take them a bit of the original for comparison.

thanks for the wallpapers

you might could do what ive seen on some race cars, mount it at the back of the car. get a metal core cat, supposedly has a lower temop light off as well as out flows a standard cat. mount that where the muffler usually sits. would keep it off the pointy bits when the terrain isnt the smoothest and would also have the nifty side effect of being able to see it glow at night:Flame: .... granted, ive only seen a few cars run like that and they were all 300-400 hp turboed monsters, so im not sure how well it would work out on a naturally aspirated car.

you take your computer in there with you? i usually just stick with import tuner for that.

sent you a pm with some info.

thats what i am thinking about doing for some of the repairs. i still want to weld the structual stuffs, but i am going to go through and seal the seams with adhesives and such once i get it sured up.

ill play along, lol. bikergothdude@earthlink.net

thats nothing compaired to mine, even after ive done rust patching on it. i thought i had some shots of the rockers, or lack there of. but i guess that was what i missed, lol.

aw, that mean, i could use the wiper cowl incase i cant get mine fixed from where the hood hinge broke free from the welds.

that really makes me miss my rx even more, granted, there are a lot more trees where i drive mine.

i have that in a sedan and my friend has the three door version, mine is part time 4wd (fwd, 4wd hi, and 4wd low) his is full time 4wd dual range with the center diff lock.
