so i ordered a replacement axle but needed to be able to drive the rig so i instaled a stub and am running rwd till the new one comes in i also just installed my lsd so its a good time to test it first test i stoped with one wheel in a mud puddle in the grass and the other on the pavement i got 3 chirps from the tire on the pavement before taking off so it workes good nice and tight im realy suprized at how good it works but it makes this horable noise making hard turns under power low power its normal im hoping it will mellow out still way better than the welded rear on the street im asuming the noise is just the clutches i hope other than the noise it works great i wish i could run it like this all the time but i dont want to burn anything out its a hole different animal in rwd than fwd

there are 3 racks of pug rims at our local junk yard steel and aluminum also several racks of subaru wheels and 14" 6lug rims every where i think its called dooris auto wrecking in hayward ca if your ever in the san fransico bay area they have hundreds or racks of rims cheap i got a set of issusu rodio wheels there 100 and found free 195 /60/15 some one was giving away driled the rims un mounted and remounted the tires my self they seem to fit just fine with no lift my first set of 6lugs i got off craigs list 5 rims with tires for 120 this is a very easy very cheap just takes alittle time and running around flipping your rims backwords puts alot of stress on the bearings especialy in turns and potholes that sead i run my trailer with the rims backwords for almost 10 years with out any problems only one blow out and i changed the tire with out taking the rim off the trailer with just a screwdriver at a gas station in bfe no where and its commin on baha bugs to run the front rims flipped but would look horable on a brat seeing as how the wheel will be mostly outside the body the right way to do it is to drill the hubs yes your weekening them slightly but rember your speading the load out to 6 lugs instead of 4 and spreads the load out making the whole asembly much stronger than original but redriling 6 lugs are still atleast as strong as original and has been well tested and arent any different than universal rims with all the extra holes as far as how they look nothing hookie looking about it in my oppinion alittle creativity goes a long way -

learn how to bus your own tires and you wont need split rims and always carry a plug kit and compresor or can of fix a flat i have 4 plugs in one hole in my side wall its holding for over a year now no problem -
the fab nightmere is the most apeelinng part of it for me i have a full metel fab shop to play in and im retiered so ive got the time and material and tools and lots and lots of scrap metal i was thinking of duel carbs but then had the duel tbs idea instead the problem as i see it is the ecu is fireing for 4 clyders not 2 and i know these motors dont like the extra gas but maybe port the hell out of the exaust and polish them up it might be able to burn the extra gas maybe not i dought it would last long but might be a fun build im thinking duel ecus because i dont think one computer can moniter 2 o2 sencors i dont see a problem with sharing a maf signal other than it wouldent read the air flow right it would be reading air for 4 cylinders not 2 so it would probably need 2 of everythin to even run i know this is in the catagory of why the F would any one want to do this but hay its just a idea

i dont have 4 ej motors laying around to play with only ej i have is in a different project
-
the air wouldent have to make 2 90º turns it would be a straight shot and have gravity on its side as for the rest i dont know im in the process of quick and dirty rebuilding a basicly junk motor just for fun for a back burner project i have floating it would never see the street or smog and reliability isent a factor but would make a good test platform all i need is another throttle body and computer
-
i just had a idea about using 2 spfi throtle bodys like a duel carb set up and 2 computers and 2 o2 sensor or if one computer could triger 2 throtle bodys or injectors and custom intake manifolds and water crossover set up
