i saw these" hookie "universal rims today notice the extra holes in them the top rim almost looks like it would fit our cars he sead they would but at $750 a set who wants to try ill keep drilling my own rims but hay im cheap

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

well i guess you could run bead lock wheels the best of both worlds and they wont kill you

so im building a new loyale its a real piece of art its still in th works but here it is so far

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

there is a place in hayward that has a good selection of used subaru and pug wheels i think its called dooras u pull or something like that

Are you gona make one for the front diff welding the rear diff is cheap and easy but there aren't any cheap lsds or locker set ips for the front one of these would efin rock

Yay

I just did mine I used a good o2 sensor socket and a shot of pb blaster came out very easy but I already had the exaust off the car

I would check your radius rod bushings and make sure there tight maybe add a washer or two to tighten them up even more

If you just lift the rear you will change the stearing geomitry it will be slightly looser and won't return to center as well and you will change the balance of the rig the center of gravity will move slightly forward alowing the rear end to break loose easyer would be a lot of fun at slower speeds but high speeds it might get squirly I did it to my ferd ranger along time ago but I lifted the rear about 6" but all this sounds like it might work for you oh and it dident seem tippy with the back end up high because it was lighter try it you might like it also you can move the front struts forward alittle to fix the steering and your just left with a light rear end and you could run some extra wait in the bed for everyday use and or in bad weather and then take the wait out and its playtime

Sweeeeet
