Did you use a program to figure that out? Thats pretty sweet, lemme know how you did it and i can go do a measurement on the hatch. -Brian

YEah, find the big black round canister at the front passenger side of your car, inside the engine bay. There will be a few hoses plugged into the top of it. Find one that leads directly to the intake manifold. Stick that hose into the can and let it suck in about 1/4 of the bottle of seafoam. Have your hand on the throttle and blip it a couple times... the seafoam will try to kill your engine. Let the engine revive itself, and then keep it up. After 1/4 of the can is gone, drive the car alittle.... then do it again. Pour the other 1/2 of the can into your gas tank. Make sure you have less than 1/3-1/4 tank of fuel... then drive the car the rest of the week until its on E. Fill up, and have fun. -Brian

Just head to the junkyard and get yourself a new section of rear trailing arm With the bearing and spindle all in it. Try to find the Sube int he yard with the least amount of miles on it. -Brian

AHHHH!!! It feels so good to have a EA81 again Glad to be back, and now... my garage is complete! -Brian

Sorry Clay, i just went and bought this brat.... .... :lol: :lol: :lol: Only kidding!!!! Good luck getting it dude, you gonna lift it and wheel it or what? -Brian

Jack, this hatch runs like a dream. 148k on the clock, and it has more gettup-n-go than my RX does. -Brian

Sorry Idahojack, was that the REd hatch on Craigslist for $1250? IF so, that was me. The owner wouldnt budge on the price cause he said he had some dude interested out of state willing to pay more. We should get a good hatch turnout at this years WCSS, sorry you wont be in one Clay... maybe i'll let you ride in mine -Brian

Ed I maybe looking for a EA81 Adapter soon, if you have a spare. -Brian

There are hotels all over reno Sucks your gonna be here that week, thats the week my sister will be in town. I wont be able to get away -Brian

Counter sink your holes so the lugs will fit properly. Our wheels are lug centric, not hub centric... if the holes aren't counter sunk, the lugs wont do their job properly. -Brian

Why do I need 5 of the swampers Zap? I was gonna use my old coopers as spares, and get the lifetime warranty so I can replace one if I ever damage it beyond repair. Its good to know the kumho's are 6 ply, but I dont think tirerack offers a "no questions asked" waranty. And your right about the look. Im thinking with the hatch, it deserves the swampers. I will be using a 3/3 lift, so I guess i better take it to work and maybe heat up my sheetmetal before bending it. -Brian

$250 is a screamin deal! Gratz Rob. Lets see it mounted to that beast of yours. -Brian

Northguy, i have a set of Cooper Discoverer STT's.... well, 3 left since 1 of them has a huge gash in it now. Cooper no longer offers the 205/75R14, so im stuck with looking for new tires. If i got the kumho, they would match my Coopers pretty well, and i would have 3 coopers to use as spares. But I dont know what ply they are, and im sure the 6ply of the swampers will be better. Scott, how old are your tires? Thats gonna suck if I ruin some SSR's on the 1st or second run... the trails here are brutal. -Brian

Will... when will you learn? Good to see you back here again tho. -Brian

Rubbing is what im affraid of. I dont want to have to beat this hatch too much in order to fit tires. Im after the 14" rim size, and im wondering if some different offset tires will help the rubbing issues. -Brian

Im thinking of picking up the 27x9.5R14 SSR's from Super Swamper. Im curious as if these are true 27" or closer to 28" Its up between those and the Kumho Venture's. Just depends on if I can afford $500 for SSR's then another couple hundred on street tires. -Brian

Yeah, i had a friend who tried to fit 15's to his 390's. It didnt last long, and i would definatly not recommend doing it. He then tried to trim his 390's down .3" to make them 15's. That did not work either. Bottom Line, Stay away from 390mm rims. -Brian p.s. Yes, 390's have markings, but Scott already told you that

Got a BYB 3/3 lift chillin in the back of the hatch just waiting. -Brian

Yup, had the hatch open when i installed the rack... just to be sure it wouldnt interfere with anything. I think I may have found my tires. TireRack sais they have the Kumho venture in stock, 27x8.5R14 Im gonna order 4 of em, then here in a couple weeks I should be ready for the lift. -Brian

Yeah he has some prime property. That little bit of area is probably.... 1/20th of the land he has. And it borders the hillside, trails right out his backyard practicly. The hills we were at are probably 5miles away from his pad. -Brian

One more pic I forgot to add. This is me and Dave Next trip we definatly need to bring a camcorder... jibs :-p -Brian

I took of from here Saturday night to go meet Jibs in Reno. Plan was to dissasemble the wagon, and start alittle work on the hatch. Didnt plan on doing much wheelin, but when I got there we found this set of trails, that just happend to lead to his place. So we took a detour and broke the hatch in. Sunday morning we woke up around 8am and started tearing into the wagon. Jeremy (Subieman) showed up and by noon we pretty much had the wagon stripped down to nothing. Dave (NV Zeno) showed up and we decided to head out and grab some lunch. After lunch, it was still pretty early, so we headed off to some local hills and played around for about an hour. The ground is pretty much decomposed granite, and alot of it. Very easy to loose traction and dig yourself a hole. Going up the hills were almost impossible, but it was fun going down. We ended up following the trails for a little, but seemed every trail lead to an impossible hill climb, or a dead end. Still alot of fun, and plenty more trails out there to play on. -Brian

This wasnt crossposting. This was a thread for the off-roading aspect of my new car. The other thread was just a "HEY CHECK OUT MY NEW CAR" thread. Cuase i woudlnt want that in the off-road forum. I'd apreciate it if you would return it to its original forum. Thanks -Brian p.s. Show me these "rules"

1-800-radiator. I think they have the cheapest prices around. -Brian

You can leave it in both forums, thanks Ken. Here's a wheelin pic to officialize it: Went up to reno and stripped down my wagon. As you can see, the roof rack and bumper already made it on the hatch, and i cut the fenders in order to save them from later abuse. The lift kit is in the back right now, i wont be able to install it for a couple weeks. Jibs, im not sure if i will use swampers. Im gonna call all the local cooper dealers and try for some more Discoverer STTs. I really like those tires. -Brian
