just for information to keep in the back of your head a 235/75R/15 is about 28.8" tall, just did the conversion. and 205/75R/15 is 27.1 inches tall

or i could get the BFG's on a 14". http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T%2FA+KO&sidewall=Raised%20White%20Letters&tab=Sizes&partnum=975R4ARAKORWL

yes! just ordered my weber! http://www.ebay.com/itm/230775540487?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

ya all im saying is that if you really want a car that is fast and fuel efficiant there are so many more choices i would pick than a hopped up ea82. i drive an ea82 because it has 4wd, good gas milage. easy to work on, and i can go places some trucks wont. it is the ultimate do everything vehicle

yeah! that is bad rump roast! i like how it looks like you could drive through trees and it wouldnt even care. nice hood decal.

i was thinking about getting those 14" cregars and then just running the same maxxis bighorns that you have. because if i go to a 15" i have to run a 30" and i dont think i can do that with a 2" lift.

i think that the sedan is impractical because, the ea82 is no power house i dont see why you would go through the body work if your not going to do an engine swap. and i live in montana, so i dont have a use for a vehicle like that. maybe if i lived in a big city but, even then if that sedan was mine i would find out how to put a turbo WRX engine, or something with at least 300 bhp at the wheels!

iaght i would like to put these on my sube! they should work, what do you guys think? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3104760/

thats nuts, im not going to wrap up over 5k any time soon.

when i say "rice rocket" i mean like tokeo drift bull sh*t. and i know what you mean as long as the vehicle i drive is fun, and practicle i dont care what others think. that sedan is not practicle!

even though the redline on the tack starts @ 5ooorpm? i tried shifting at 5k once and you can hear it loose power and "whine out" doesnt that bother you that its bad to wrap it up that high in rpm

also we should figure out what the vacum switch controlls.

ok so i just officially asked my shop teacher. the vacum advance on the distributor advances the timing minutely when at idle and light throttle, then when you step on it and vacum goes away, the mechanical advance in your distributor continues to advance timing. so moosen reset your timing with the vacum line disconected from the distributor, then hook the vacum line back up and see how she runs. thats what i did and im right at 11 degrees before TDC. make sure the thermo switch is hooked up right, and all is good. dont cutt corners!

and your car is an ea82??

ok before we continue; some one please correctly identify what the thermo witch does. cause there is no thermo switch on a conventional v8, and all motors naturally aspirated are the same.

i just wanted to know the gears in my car witch is dr 4wd, and i found them. im curious to see what bigger tires will do to my highway speeds, and where it puts my rpm at what speed so i know where to drive in my torque range. witch is about 2700 to 3700 rpm

this is why we dont make rice rockets out of 30 some year old cars. i mean its cool, but i wouldnt want to drive it

wait my bad, i had the right idea but wrong words to say it. the vacum advance on the disty keeps the timing where you set it. so on start ups there is no vacume so the timing is retarted compared to when running and vacume is available.

ok i see what your saying, because it is a transaxle, the diff is in the transmission. so the final gear ratio 3.9 is what the front and the back diffs are, but then they also show the other gears

??? huh the diff cant have five gears, i dont get what your saying, are all of the transmission gears added?

the factory has the distributor advance hooked up so that when the timing is advanced ( like with your subie ) the intake manifold vacum will retard the timing and thus make it easier for the engine to start. all of what we are telling you will make sense ( if it already doesnt ) by studying the basic physics of an engine. ADVANCED TIMING SENARIO: piston moves up on compression stroke, compressing air and fuel. the spark happens 11 degrees BTDC ( just like your car). the air and fuel combusts, sending the piston down....the motor runs good, makes good cylinder pressure, all is good. WHEN STARTING: the starter does not have the power to compress the air and fuel mixture to ignite it at 11 degrees advanced. so this is where the disty retard comes in. as the engine turns over vacum in the manifold turns the disty counter clockwise retarding the timing, so the timing is now like 9 ish dedgrees BTDC. so engine starts and vacum goes down, and timing returns to normal.

ok awesome! but what about the rear end? or is the final drive gear ratio the rear end?

Holy balls! that is alot of work! it looks awesome though, im curious to see pwr, and tqr numbers.

so im figuring out what the gears are in the transmission, and in the rear end in my ea82 4wd manual transmission. does any body know? im sure many of us would like to know so we can modify are subes further

no! from what it sound like when you changed your timing it was too advanced for the engine to turn over easly and start. instead of making a jet change, make sure that your disty advance is hooked up right. and then see how she runs
