The Loyale auto's did come with 3.90 rear diffs. I think they did it to try and give them some pep. So, to answer your question, the trans is probably worn out. Sorry.

That's cool. I remember seeing that one a few years ago and thought it was kind of cool. Congrats and hope to see it soon.

Good job, I missed this post before. My bro-in-law found that harness one day a while back. Makes a nice upgrade, just flip the button and you don't have to turn off the car.

Welcome and enjoy!

Well, I doubt you hurt the bearings. If anything you'll need new outer seals and maybe brake pads. Just check the calipers to make sure you didn't bugger them and the rest is easy. Shouldn't have hurt anything though. I would suggest that before you roll it much more that you remove the ub and insert the stub completely then reinstall the hub and tighten it down. That should insure that everything is where it should be.

The flyers will and should have the URL for the website and maybe rather than directions on the flyers we can provide links to directions on the site. Directions will be a nice thing to add though. It will give people an idea where they are going.

Jeff, it looks great! I just think to appeal to all we should give some of the other models some air time as well. SVX's, XT(6)s, 360's would be good as they are the one models that usually get neglected. Thanks again to all. Nicky, when you get ready please send the URL to me as well.

Well, it helps to have a better half that is understanding and patient. You've got it a little easier than some of us. We have wives, kids and other things to keep on an even keel. I guess the most important thing you can do is listen to the signals from her. She'll let you know when she thinks you're neglecting her. That's when you will have to sacrifice your time with the "projects" for the benefit of the relationship. It works with understanding from both sides. If she truly loves you she will take you with your hobbies as well. Good luck!!

If you want bullet proof use the R-180 from the Z. A little bigger but has really nice flanged hubs and is alot beefier. Know to hold up to 300+HP without issue.

You don't want to countersink them. Spotfacing is the optimum approach. It will maintain a flat surface for the studs to sit into. On a side note, Gonehuntin, get a hold of me when you have time to talk. Ken

lol, yeah, right. Hopefully in the next few months I can come to the fabrication stages on my newest brain short circuit. It should push the envelope and the imagination over the edge. I have to finished the mental imaging first then start collecting parts. But you know how that goes.

EBAY! Like the commercial says you'll find everything on EBay!!

Cool. Making big progresses on the "new" project.

Well it fits in my '85 Brat. Everything that came in the Redline/Weber kit is installed, including the tall filter. I do have good motor mounts and brand new trans mounts. I have zero issues with any of the parts including the adapter. Most issues that have come up have been around the EA82 installation. The adapter fits and covers the intake just fine. I did grind the intake to match the adapter and allow for smoother air/fuel flow. There is a small amount of contact between filter and hood but, it doesn't bother either the hood or filter. http://usmb.net/gallery/album222

Actually, not many hatches left in the Hatch Patrol.

Very nice! Looks to be in pretty good shape. Pics are just a litle unclear to determine that though. You gonna bring it by to check it out. I may have a few parts for it as well. Depends on what else it needs. Ken

Welding the back is overkill. All you need is a flat surface to allow the studs to sit flat. Drill your holes and spot face the backside of the holes. It will leave you with the same amount of material as the stock holes have. I never even welded the "old" holes closed. I was going to but haven't gotten to it yet and have not had any issues to date. About a year on them now.

Just what Northguy said. I used Champion in the far away past. The isolators are/were thinner than most and you could actually crack them just by installing them. I use Autolites in domestics and only NGK's in all imports.

You sure like those blue one's don't ya' Austin?

The disty gear runs off the back of the drivers side cam shaft. It really wouldn't show anything if the belt broke. Once the pulley is off the answer will be found.

Welcome and enjoy yourself. For the most part this is the finest site going and you will find lot's a knowledgable help.

You can actually strip teeth off around the crank. It will appear that the belts are good but it won't actually turn the belts. You say you removed the disty to check the gear. Does the disty turn when you turn over the car?

That's cool!

Well given that hint, it has to be an '84 Brat.

I will assume it's a Subaru. I will also assume it's a wagon. The tough part will be year and body style. If it dk red, I will guess an 85/86 GL wagon.
