  1. So saturday was the first time that we've been able to drive my brat more than .1 miles. We took it up to 4th and eveerything seemed alright. As we go to park it, the car begins to idle a little high. When we got back the car had spewed oil all over the enginebay from the breather tubes on the valve covers. They werent connected to anything and the passenger side spewed more than the drivers side. This https://imgur.com/qKG9bU2 shows the routing for the pcv valve. We currently dont have anything connected to the pcv valve. It worries me if we do this and it spews oil again it will mess up my carb/motor due to oil going into the intake. Id appreciate some thoughts on whats happening. Thanks yall are the best!

  2. Im going to start this off by saying I dont know the most about cars but I am learning. I also use the help of my brother a lot because he actually knows what he is doing when it comes to cars. So when I first got my brat we were replacing the water pump and a bolt broke off. We drilled the bolt out and got it out but it fucked up the threads on the hole. We tried to use a tap set to make new threads but none of the taps worked because the block was too strong. All of the taps would just round out. We drilled the hole out some more and tried to jb weld a stud into the hole and use a nut to tighten it but the jb weld didnt hold. Im pretty sure the water pump wont seal properly with only 4 bolts tightened. I was thinking of jbwelding some sort of anchor in the hole and then tightening a bolt onto that im not sure if itd work though. Need some help. Thanks a bunch!

  3. I love this build! Im stealing a lot of your ideas for my brat likethe switch panel and drilling holes in the wheels so you dont have to do a lug swap. BTW are those the front shocks if so whered you order them from i cant seem to find them.

  4. Ya i dont know much about cars YET but i bought this beauty as a fixer upper with the intentions of eventually swapping the engine well i finally got a job and the money is rolling in so now i can get the engine i desire. I dont even know what kind of ej22 i should get. Can yall help me on what i can  get for the best price and power. i may go for the ej25 if someone can convince me.
