Thanks guys, I could have been more specific in my post but, I've got some alloys from an Isuzu trooper. So hopefully the offset won't be an issue

Hey guys, I just started the process of redrilling my hubs to make them 6lug and I was wondering if I'll run into issues if I leave my car at stock height. Or if anyone has tire size suggestions for a 15x6 rim that might fit (Im not opposed to cutting out the fenders as much as needed seeing as their already rusted to he'll)

Do you have a link? I found one for turning the 7 pin din into aux, but nothing mentions the 8 pin connector thats on my radio

the radio its self doesnt have any way to switch to another input, it can only switch between am and fm

Thanks for all the help guys, anyone have any info on the connector in the picture I put up? I figure the same trick would work if I knew what pins were L, R, + - and ground. Is there a way for me to figure that out on my own?

Thanks Tom, didn't notice that when I removed it I noticed some corrosion on the bottom of the board, what's a safe way to clean it off? Or should I just leave it? It doesn't seem to be affecting anything at the moment

Well this is what the connector looks like on my radio, back to an antenna for me I suppose edited to add second picture The hole for an antenna

That's awesome thanks, I'll probably do this and forget about the antenna all together. Any tips on doing this?

Awesome thanks, that's what I figured but wasn't sure

I'll post pics when I'm at home but it was soldered in, there's no where for an antenna wire to plug in but there is a spot on the board for one, where I heated up the solder and removed it since I had to cut it out of the jy car

Got a stock radio from a jy car and I was wondering if anyone knew what the round connection on the back is, I'll put up a picture when I'm home. I also ordered new antenna wire but I don't know how I should solder it to the board. I already de-soldered the wire that was on there but I can't remember if it was the inner wire or the braided wire that was that was actually connected. I want to say that the braided wire is what was making the connection but from my understanding it's the inner wire that makes the connection and the braided wire acts as insulation to keep interference from coming through the speakers. As always any help is appreciated.

Alright, I went ahead and changed the spark plugs anyway, looked pretty new actually I was a little surprised. After that I checked my hoses for the third time and lo and behold I found a vacuum line just hanging with grease packed into one end. Heres a few pictures The second picture is showing where the line was plugged in but I don't know where the other end of the hose is supposed to go, my vacuum line diagram on the hood is mostly gone, also what is said device where the vacuum line was plugged in?

I'm having a similar issue with my carb'd 85 wagon, today I'm going to check the anti-diesel valve, might be worth a look

It was idling low (about 400rpm) before but the last couple of days its been about 200rpm when warm and wont stay on at all until its warmed up (choke works fine, but now that I think about it I can start the car without engaging the clutch not sure if thats relevant or not) It will stay on at 200rpm its just really rough. The wagon is new to me (been through nine different owners as far as I can tell) but the guy who sold it to me said he replaced most of the vacuum lines under the hood, which made the idle better (should have asked him what he meant by that) I checked the lines again this morning but couldnt find any cracked lines or cracked/worn rubber caps, and none missing as far as I can tell. Replacing my front brake rotors and pads was the only work I did recently but I didn't open the hood at all during.

Is this the same on carbureted engines? And will this solution work on a carbureted engine?

Hey guys, Yesterday I got around to replacing my front brakes and that led to me driving it around for more than 10 minutes. After the car had gotten warmed up it started to idle low, about 400rpm. I drove it home and when I parked it was idling very low, it looked like it was at zero on the tachometer but it didn't die. I looked under the hood for about 5 minutes with the car on looking for any vacuum lines that maybe came loose or something but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Any ideas on what my issue could be? Would replacing spark plugs and wires help any?

I watched this a week or so before buying my GL but watching it now makes me want a 91, all those options. The watch on the wheel is a good idea, mine never tells the right time for more than a week or so

Thanks Jeff, I'll put that in my signature. I read my post and realized that I didn't explain my first question nearly well enough. I actually didn't even ask it, how do I know if my cars has a variable ration or fixed ratio steering rack in it presently. Everything else I understood.

Hey guys, recently I've been looking at parts online and most are easy enough to find but some mention things I dont know about, for example today I was looking at tie rods and it says that it fits "manual rack: Except Variable Ratio; w/ 4 Turns Lock to Lock" what does this mean? I was thinking it would be easier to have a resource for all the parts with their numbers for my year ea82, does such a thing exist? Alternatively is there an easier way to go about looking for parts pertaining to my exact year? Thanks for any and all help

I read through that but I was curious about how to drill the wheels opposed to the hubs

Interesting thread, how would I go about re-drilling wheels so that they fit properly? Also just thinking about going down the Peugeot route https://www.google.com/search?q=14%22+pergout+wheels&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=peugeot+wheels+4x140&tbm=shop

7 washers and a lock washer later and my brake works again! Thanks for all the help guys even though I probably didn't need to make a thread for something so simple.

Good to know thanks, I'm sure they'll have some at the junkyard.

There were never any of these on those bolts, good to know. I'll probably get some washers if my local junkyard doesnt have any ea81-2s

thats what I was going to do but I dont have a dremel or anything that would cut through it
