subyrally

eh, i was only joking about that, nos is for people that cant tune their car right. its the slackers way to get power. it does have its place though, in drag racing and a few other random forms of high hp motorsports(thinking of the 4wd volcanic hill climbs in iceland, i think) but in a car that will be street driven and taken to a road course periodically, there is no need for spray.

thanks for the offer. id love to learn to use tig, that would be sweet, lol.

if i were closer and the brat was drivable, i would be all about that. unfortunatly, the breat is stuck in the driveway for now. thanks for hte offer though, if i had a way to make it there with the brat and still be able to make it home for treatment tomarrow, id be all over that, lol. so yeah, i tested mine out today, its cut out on me before but always came back, its definatly done. if i manually pull out the wire, it will strike an arc, but i think the feed system is dead. it didnt even have the usual humming coming from the machine like it usually does. not sure what that means for it, but its definatly not going to work for me again. i am starting to think the "quality" of this machine is why i cant find it for sale anywhere anymore.

c'mon, that was mildly funny.

and that is why you rock connie.

the thought had crossed my mind, but then i thought of the movie fast and the furious, when i hit the second stage of NOS, i dont want the rivets to shoot all over the place and the floor to fly out. that and i really cant get a drill into some of the places i need to patch. that and some of the patches are in structural chunks, i know rivets are strong, but i feel better with welds.

but you are also rocking huge tires, so rubbing is to be expected.

that might work out. i still need to find something this weekend if possible since i wanted to get the floor done before i go in for chemo on tuesday. i think what bothers me soo much about hte welder crapping out is that i am soo close to getting hte floor done. im thinking that if i had a good welder, i might actually be done by now since the time i had to spend to redo sections could have been used to do other sections. eh, its whatever i guess. all in all, its nothing more than a learning expiriance.

here are some pics of my pugs first would be my 86 rx and now on my brat cant tell you how much the brat likes the wheels or not as i havent even driven the car yet. gotta fix the rust first.

the 15" pugs with 205/50/15 tires actually looks pretty cool. granted, i havent had a chance to drive my brat with that set up yet, but it looks pretty good. i had the pugs on my rx before i parted with it, and they are definatly not the same offset. they will stick out about an inch in the front and should come flush with the fender in the rear. they might rub a bit inth rear if you dont roll the fenders, i know mine did on the rx anytime i had a rear passenger or took a large bump at speed or a very tight turn. but then again, i beat the hell out of my rx on the mountain roads. as far as handling, i think that might really depend on the tires you run. i am running nitto nt450 tires on mine and they seem to do really well all year round, dry, wet, snow, gravel, ect... that and they are a good sporty high speed rated tire that is inexpinsive and seem to last a while.

saturday morning and i cant work on the brat:( someone help me please.

i now realize why not to buy cheap welders, mine after a year of inconsistant welding crapped out on me, again, tonight. its died on me before, but this time didnt come back on after i reset the power. on top of that, it will not feed the wire smoothly, at all. not even enough to do a spot weld on 20ga sheet metal. really sucks cause if it were working, i could actually get some real progress before tuesday when i have to go back in for chemo again. i guess what i am getting at, i need a welder to use for a few days. does anyone have a mig welder that i can use for a few days? i am soo close to getting the floor of my brat done, im thinking that if i had a good welder, i might actually finish the floor by monday. if anyone can help me, please let me know. i cant really offer much in return right now, but ill break ot the grill and cook out if thats ok. thanks in advance peace tim c

good to see you again. how have you been?

that think looks freaking nuts, i want one.

dude, thats hot.

aw hell, now i gotta go out and find that movie and scour it for that car, lol.

it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again? why did that come to mind? :-\

i know australia got the ej d/r trans. and i want one.lol.

get in touch with the guys at brake and clutch of ashville. i think this is the right info here, i lost a lot of my contact info when my last hard drive took a dump. http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Clutch.And.Brake.of.Asheville.828-252-6470 i got the stage two for my rx last year, worked great and held up to the abuse i gave it. never slipped once.

if yo are looking for a maf adaptor,go to pepboys, they are like $15 for a universal one that will bolt right up to the subaru maf. i think its made by spectre or something like that/

wouldnt it be the fourth, you know, after fun?

what kind of body work is needed? and how bad is it i guess i should be asking.

i doubt that you would find any gains with another muffler from a gl-10. if im not mistaken, they used the same muffler between all the car, turbo or not. you would be better off with an aftermarket muffler if you are looking for any kind of power gain, but there is only so much one can gain from exhaust in a non turbo car.

nice score. i finally got a brat at the begining of summer, but mine is definatly a project. ive nearly finished patching the drivers side floor and have started on te passenger side now. i highly reccomend shecking under the carpets, mainly around the corners of the cab and at the point in the foot weels where the floor pan meets the firewall. that seems to be where mine got the worst of the rust.

i second that. long time no see.
