the plans for the datto are now to let it be my hot rod as it was intended now that i have the subaru for a daily driver this winter she is getting a tear down and getting a new cam and dual side draft carbs the ultimate plan latter on down the road is to get the body work done and paint it with a vg30er ( supercharged single cam vg30 found in newer fronters and xterras) and some chassis reenforcement the girl on the hood in the pic above is a friend of mine i was trying to get the car into the ratsun.net calender and figured hot chick on top of my car should land me a spot unfortuantly it didnt but i got some nice pics out of it my personal favs

bonvo replied to Legacy RallyGuy's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
find an rx trans for it and rally the crap out of it -
yeah still a few things that need to be done like i need to make the fuel pump work on its own rather then an alligator clamp on the positive side of the battery make it so the tires stop going flat (leaking from the bead) but other then that im basicly ready for winter in my little 4x4
-
sure what do you wanna know about it
-
rebuilt the carb and took it for a drive talk about a gutless wonder thing can barly get out of its own way but i love it lol
-
tore the carb apart it was digusting i also drained the fuel tank because there was water and old fuel in it so with a rebuild and fresh fuel it should be good to go

carb rebuild kit on the way i was very tempted to pull the weber 32/36 off of my 610 just to drive it but decided against it considering i cant take my only running car apart untill this one is reliable so ill rebuild the carb and run it this winter then then next summer when the datsun has its twin side drafts on it the subi will get the weber i must say i love rockauto.com even with shipping the parts are still cheaper then the parts houses
-
well i tried to tune it today and im thinking the carb needs a rebuild
-
thanks man yeah i love this little car i cant wait to drive it ok started out today but cleaning the head mating surface dad prying out the valve seals passenger side pistons drivers side yes she needs a good seafoaming torquing down the heads assembled the stair-down proof i did more then take pictures lol empty up....... ......and in running video of the quiet valves the timing and the dwell as well as the carb settings are way off its getting tuned tomorrow threw the air filter on it to see how its gonna look
-
alright i got off work today after working 8 days straight and dug into the subi first i painted the valve covers and air filter used a silver base coat and anodized blue paint then i got really busy for about an hour O_o end of the night tomorrow i finish painting the air filter stuff and put it all back together with new gaskets and a new clutch
-
clutch came in today i tore the valve covers off and checked to see if the cam was flat spotted and its not come thursday it will be on like donkey kong edit ************ty cell pics lol clean(er) engine head gasket set clutch kit
-
i might just do that i wasent going to pull the pil pan off just gonna put some new head gaskets in it but after i do that damn near the entire engine will be resealed
