i wonder if there is a chance of still finding that muffler? it looks nice and im sure it sounds great as well.

get ahold of the two peice shaft from the original 5 spd car, take it to a machine shop or anywhere that makes drive shafts. tell them that you need it in a 1 peice, most should be fine with that and it gets rid of the carrier and can get you replaceable u-joints if you have a new yoke and flange put on it.

i never had any issues with drving my rx win 4wd on pavement, just have to go to fwd at low speeds, like taking a turn from a stop, ect... as long as i was over 20 mph, the car was fine in 4wd.

gary, you sir are good people. ill at least take you to dinner or something when i can.

should have skipped the muffler hunting and gone with a universal that would give it a better tone.these cars sound great with a good free flowing muffler.

i need to go there, and move in, lol.

wow, nice find.

yeah, these are meant to be replaced, not repaired. i had two go bad on me, one the front u-joint crapped out and the other , hte carrier let loose and scared the hell out of me. actually, gary is the one that helped me out with that. i still owe you for that gary. a was actually going to go for a one peice shaft for my cars, but unfortunatly, its hard to spend $300 when you dont have a job if anyone does find a place that can get the center carrier for the two peice shafts, please let me know, even the place that was going to build my drive shaft couldnt get em.

sounds like you have a fun project ahead of you.i am still trying to get my brat on the road, but having built my 86 rxx and started on my brat now, i know how annoying getting parts can be. i was lucky that i got a job with advance auto while i was working on hte rx. do be careful if you go to advance auto, the computers still list the wrong parts for the old school cars. make sure that you look at the pics if they are available. also, remember to take lots of pics and keep us updated on your progress.

not a problem

might help to give a bit more detail on what is needed. i know some people are better with structural work than cosmetic and vise-versa.

dude, if you are in the dc area, take a trip to anapolis subaru and talk to jackie. has to be one of hte best parts departments ive come across. jackie is grea, she has taken the time on numerous occasions to search down hard to find pars for me.

the way i see it, it would be fun as hell, but i figure that if i can beat cancer, then whats stopping me from tryin to finish a race? well, other than not having a car to compete with, lol.

\ thats what im sayin man. with some beefed up suspension, i dont see why a suby wouldnt have a chance.

good score man. be sure to take lots of pics for the rest of us.

holy crap, jay what have you been up to man? yeah, those tracks would be lots of fun. i heard that those are the tracks for atv's and run about $5000 a set.

good luck man

whats wrong with working in the street, i did my last clutch in my rx in the street in front of hte house. dont care what the neighbors think, lol.

sounds very promising. i cant wait to see it done.

it could also be somewhere in the wheels nd tires. perhapse a rim might be lightly out of round or bent somewhere, or it could have lost a wheel weight somewhere along its way. ive had all that happen to me:( but yeah, also check the inside of the rim, might have axle grease hanging around, doesnt take much to unbalance a wheel and cause vibation.

hmmm, sounds interesting. on a side note, dont you run a supercharged svx?

nothing is better than legos for x-mas:headbang:

not neglect, off roading fender clearance./

not sure why it hasnt come up yet, but have you checked the fuel lines to make sure they are in the right places? the fuel line from the filter goes to the line in the top center, the return goes to the left of that and the vapor line goes to the right of the fuel line.i just thought about that and remembered that i did that once when i wasnt paying attention. it had simular results.

cause the intake gaskets were leaking.
