In defence of the carb, they aren't terrible, I ran an empi on my vw bug for a long time, but getting sold a used empi for used weber price... NOT COOL... get your money back.

Steering rack for EA82 models
you may find it on ebay from time to time, UNLESS someone here will sell it to you and ship it. Nice car! I love the bubble top and lack of trim. It looks sleek and clean!

clutch sticking > 6k rpm
try changing your trans fluid to a high performance type. I have had some transmissions come back with just a good lube.

'90 Loyale AWD Turbo Wagon
welcome brad! The wiring is the real trick. If you really want the extra power, put an EJ22 in it. It is worth it and you won't have to deal with the turbo crap. the EJ has a ***************-ton more torque. read up on it and the swap. There are people on here who hack the harness for you for a small price, and you can buy the adapter at http://www.sjrlift.com . Only reason I am doing the turbo swap is because I was GIVEN a 37k mile JDM EA82t

A few questions for the glasspacks
the shorter the louder. I like Purple Hornet's personally but the Thrush are ok, I personally would rather use a fart can, the split bank firing order of our cars break up the crappy resonance of the sound so it WONT sound like a pissed off bee in a can (civic). We get that SEXY pulse effect. I love when people tell me my car sounds like a WRX

what can i get for this?
Give it a 5spd d/r sex change, that way you are not shoving another 20 year old boat anchor into it. It will last much longer too.

Need opinions!
does it consume a small amount of water or frequently boil into the overflow tank when its NOT overheating? If so, you have a small headgasket leak

Sound System
be sure you get a short stereo, its not single din. It won't go all the way in to the dash, it just hits the ducting/crap behind it. You will get a good 1" to 1 1/2" of hang out. As far as wiring, the speakers are twisted in pairs on my car from the factory, but the wiring was junk after a stereo was ganked by some crackhead so i rewired it. With a test light, find your 12+(bat) 12+(switched) and ground, power it up and start hooking wires up in different combos. That's what I did BE SURE TO VERIFY NONE OF THE WIRES YOU ARE HOOKING UP TO THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS ARE 12V+ my speakers were junk. probably could use to be replaced

What Have You Done to your Soobie lately? (Please post in here and keep it going)
Can this thread be stickied? I know I started it, but over 200 posts!!!! Also, day before yesterday, I powerwashed my "new" factory floor mats, wrung them out, and let them dry, then threw them in the car. I love them!

Quick and dirty fix for a sloppy shift linkage
I changed the bolts out to a 1/4", then shoved a chunk of 5/16 fuel hose in there, then shoved the bolts in. That was a 5 spd, don't know the difference

wheels
Or if you are brave, redrill import pickup 6 lugs, they are 6 on 140, knock out two studs from a spare hub, put lugs on the remaining 2, tighten, then drill through the hub into the wheels.
