Subruise

my first car was an 81 glf coupe, mag wheels and all RV

ok, have you popped the knuckle off the lower ball joint? do that then get out your favorite implement of persuasion, spread the pinch gap open a little and tap it off. good luck, RV

wow man, thats a heck of a first post. welcome to usmb! i like the write up, esp. sizes of tools to use etc. whens the book coming out? keep em coming RV

what you probably want to do is swap the engine/tranny/rear diff from the rolled car to the turbo. those turbo motors can be rebuilt but are a huge PITA when compared to the benefits of having them. a cheaper/better solution is a ej22 swap(legacy motor). if you just need a gas saver, stay simple. also the trannys are different ratio so swap the rear diff (or ring gear) as well. good luck and welcome RV

its all about the PNW. time to get a one way plane ticket and drive one home:grin: RV

you should be able to buy all of that stuff at a jy for under 200 bucks

heres what i do when i break my 91 loyale. go to the local u pull yard and get knuckles off both sides(they already have bearings in them thatll work for awhile) get hubs/axles/everything off of the car with the least mileage. i abuse my car pretty regularly so i dont see the point in spending lots of $$$ on new stuff im gonna break anyway. also, myself and others have had more success with old used oem axles and a reboot(or not) than with aftermarket or remanned crap. good luck RV

good call, i mustve been thinking ea82 while simultaneously not paying close enough attention. thanx for clearing that up RV

the hose is most likely to be from the coolant overflow tank. the oil that is leaking, is it motor oil or trans fluid??? red=trans. RV

thanx but not exactly..... im trying to swap spfi onto my cali carbed ea82 not ea81. RV

usually i put a jack under the tie rod and jack it up nice and snug. this way the balljoint wont spin. then when its loose i let the jack down and "persuade(nicely)" it out. hope this helps RV

muchas gracias abe. i saw that today at work but was hoping to find a more (how to say?) usmb style w/u. ill have to read up on that one in more depth. lets hook up soon...... RV

as turbone says: 4wd is not awd, you have no center diff so if you are on dry pavement or have mismatched tires you run the risk of trashing your trans. i dont use 4wd unless i get stuck, then i get unstuck. get stuck in 4wd=stuck. welcome btw, RV

i just bought a spfi ea82 and want to replace whitey's cali carb set up. ive been searching for a couple days and cant come up with a write up. i know theyre out there, i just cant find em. ive tried the goog method and everything. anybody got a thread???? thanx a bunch, RV

i cant wait. im fully doing this! RV

could someone point me to a thread of that nature? i just picked up a motor in need of hgs, and therefore de-warpage. thanx, RV

hes got a loyale wag w/ real nice 6 lug alloys

with enough time and $$$ anything can be accomplished. first step, buy a tape measure. step two, pencil/ paper. compare sizes and use your head. measure twice, cut once. good luck. as for a straight bolt on solution: my guess is no, otherwise itd be a gl not a wrx RV

perhaps this isnt the right spot for this but i do believe it to be relevant: i work at a signshop and have been wanting to do usmb bumper stickers/graphics for awhile now. i know some other users do the same thing. how do i go about gaining any needed permission to use usmb. i want to make these things and sell them to benefit usmb partly because i dont feel ive payed my dues yet and partly because this is much to valuable a place to not preserve and nurture. any mods/ people concerned please pm me, i wanna help. RV

also, you might try googling what specifically you need to know. often times google finds a usmb thread from the past. thats how ive done it anyway. good luck man, if you make that motor hold up ill buy you a beer. RV

just a fyi Turbone prolly IS your dad, youd know that if you searched. anyway, dont take it too personally. 2 or 3 people a month ask the same questions you do. the short answer is that its $$$$$ and effort on something that is easily outdone by means of less money. welcome aboard, lets see some respect. cheers, RV

go hillbilly, bondo and drywall screws RV

me too, heh, happy hunting. RV

welcome. the good news is that even if the car is junk, itll probably still get you 800mi. if you like isuzu/zuki stuff youll find people on here that do too. let us know how it goes. RV
