Keith's 1987 Lifted DL Wagon
i got 86 accord springs. the part no through oriellys was sp02025 they are in stock here in AK so they must be in stock where you are. i also put the monroe 4 runner struts from a 98 4runner 2.7 4wd p# 71352 lifts the back 2" so no need for the lift in the back and it is the best mod i have ever done. super easy hardest part was getting the spring compressors back of.

motor swap from ea82 to rx turbo
not worth it. you can do it but the gear ratios may be different, you will have to swap the entire engine harness and computer and the fuel pump and probably the fuel lines. plus at the end you will be left with the ea82t.. its ok but not worth it just grab the trans and rear diff from the rx and put an EJ22 in to it. more power more reliability and it will be about the same amount of work with only slightly more money thr RX should have a LSD rear diff. which is the most valuable part of that car.

if you jack up the back, how far the wheel goes down is how far the accord springs and stock struts will lift it. you will lose a little up travel with uncut accord springs as they are longer. but you could cut a coil or so off and keep everything about normal, just stiffer.

The main reason i did it was i couldnt have my tools in the back and passengers without bottoming out

Betty White - 92 Loyale Ski Bum Edition
i have lift blocks in the front and just the strut spring combo in the back. the car sits nice and level and they arent that stiff, mainly because i went with monroes instead of kybs, monroes are always softer. it actually just feels right but then again i wheel my car pretty hard and it always felt like the back was really really squishy. the back would bounce all over the place.

the 4 runner struts and accord springs are the best mods i have done to my lifted wagon i can have like 300lbs in the back and not even feel it. if you plan on loading it down and driving it on rough roads thats a very very good mod. with the 4 runner struts and accord springs it lifts the back 2"

88 GL10 turbo help
the best thin would be to buy it and put an EJ engine in it, it would cost roughly the same as buying new heads and you would get more power and better reliability

Intermittent stumble hesitation and rough idle
Thats kinda what I'm thinking but i wann make sure its a fuel issue and not a coil or some other ignition component getting hot and acting funny.

Intermittent stumble hesitation and rough idle
the fuel filter looks pretty new. The headgasket might be an issue but thats not my main concern right now, it wouldnt cause the stumble hesitation thats the real issue. plus i dont think the headgasket is that bad, the spark plug didnt look brand new, the metal part was black, just the electrode was white. i dont plan on regasketing this motor as the car will be EJ'd next summer and that would be a waste of time. I plan on resetting the timing when the oil pump gasket gets here. the thing leaks like crazy I'm thinking i will rent a fuel pressure tester and drive it around till it starts hesitating and see if its a fuel pressure issue and at the same time replace the fuel filter.

Intermittent stumble hesitation and rough idle
the wires are pretty new, i have thought about that but the ignition system seems in order. it feels like my older dodge shadow when it hit overboost and cut fuel

Intermittent stumble hesitation and rough idle
So i have an 89 gl spfi it will randomly sputter hesitate and almost backfire, buck and lose all power like it stopped getting fuel. now i thought this was due to bad/water in the gas as the car had no gas cap. so i drained the tank dry, oddly it ran for a whole 30 mins and drove around the block 6 times and then to the gas station with no gas...magic put $20 and some seafoam in the tank. problem still persists. it only does it after about 45 minutes of driving. otherwise it runs great although a little gutless. the car came with 4 new parts still in the box, an oil pressure sender, which it needed. cap and rotor, which it needed. and intake manifold gaskets. i replaced the stupid bosch platinums with ngk coppers and noticed something odd, the #3 cyl the electrode was almost white while the other three were tan as normal. My guess is the timing is off leading to the gutless and rough idle but the random hesitation has me stumped. could it be the fuel pump starting to go out? or could the PO have been right and the intake gaskets need replacing? i havnet sprayed around yet. also it was low on coolant, and there appears to be stop leak in the rad... head gasket maybe?? the CEL reads egr solenoid. so its not that.

When do you shift your EA82 5 Speed?
i always rev mine higher than most just to land right in the power with the next gear.

ATV plow?
I have seen some pop up every now and then that were 63" which would be just a bit wider than a EA82 some i have seen were like 54" which is only 10" short hell for the price i see most of them i could buy 2 46"s and just make one longer.
