  1. Metric reading gauges? Where did you hear that? BGD? LOL. Standard reading gauges are fine. What you may have to do tho is tap out where the sending units go. I had to do this on my RX for the oil and water gauges. Quite simple really, the tap size is usually a 1/4 20. And the kits usually come with adapters and such. I'm using a electrical oil gauge as the turbo gets things to hot and I dont want a mess from a melting plastic oil line. Yes I know I can use copper, actually have some. But its a pita to run to a A pillar gauge pod:-p Btw, I got my gauges on ebay. They are made by Glow Shift and have 7 different colors, etc.
  2. Should be able to move it ok. The oil pump has 5 bolts if I remember correctly. It can be a pain to remove sometimes. If you are replacing the seal on the shaft, remove the nut holding the pulley before taking off the belt. Its much easier then. When removing the pump, you need to rotate it some while rocking it back and forth. Sometimes they are heat sealed onto the block and may take some force to get it to move initially. Valve cover gaskets are a good idea, but the bolts that hold them on also have rubber bushings. These are only available from the Dealer and they are expensive. I think $6ea. So 4 for one side and 5 for the other. If you are doing cam seals and the o-rings too, the backside timing covers have to come off also. Then you can remove the cam end housing. The whole cam will want to come out when you pull on it, so tap it back in when pulling the housing off. When you get the housing off, the seal replacement is a peice of cake. Turn it over and punch out the old seal with the crank bolt. The new seal will almost push in by hand. Then install the o-ring and put it all back together.
  3. And that would be?...................100mi away:-\ And I need to bring a helper with me, so he has to be taken back too. A no win scenario.
  4. I got a kid thats almost at driving age. I'm selling my other XT. Got to feed that addiction, you know. I would have to miss alot more to meet carfreaks record:-p
  5. Heres one from WCSS9. Its a little fuzzy, I had to take a snap shot of the vid. I have several more pics from the show also, but I dont want to flood the field:-p
  6. You may want to give them a few days to respond. The auction states 7 days for full payment. I noticed it was thier first win too.....no feedback:-\
  7. Not sure if I can make it now. The pick up/drive home of the XT I purchased didnt work out. It has to be trailered, and this makes my Sat full. And the real pisser is...it's maybe a 1/2hr from your cabin Zap, in Brinnon (off 101). I was awake most the night (cortisone shot in the back) and tried to figure out a way to swing it, but to no avail.
  8. Uh, that link only shows 9/10 and 12in rims sizes. Hope your right about the 14's.
  9. What the FSM parts book shows is the 4EAT as F-4WAT. Stands for Fulltime 4wd auto transmission. Theres aslo the 4AT, which is the 4 speed auto FWD. The actual part number for the case of the 4WAT is TX86K3E1BA. Does this help?
  10. Yeah, I've scrapped a few that could have been runners. But the parts live on, across the globe:headbang:
  11. I hate to say it but....if that car was in my driveway, it would be stripped by the end of the week and off to the wrecker it would go:-\ Sorry, but thats a scapper in our neck of the woods:rolleyes:
  12. Wheres the buyer located? Is he going to have to ship it?
  13. Hope you dont get a dead beat bidder/buyer:rolleyes:
  14. If you have any problems and need help, Scott is close to you. He knows EA82's pretty well;)
  15. D, go outside and play. You have to much time on your hands:Flame:
  16. 3AT, 2wd and single range 4wd 4EAT, 2wd and 4wd 5spd single range (push button 4wd) 5spd dual range
  17. Did you post the info for the Brembo stuff over on the XT site?
  18. Ok, my bad...typo. You know that should have read EA82T. What you did was at the cheapest end of the spectrum. You didnt put forged pistons, larger injectors, etc into your project. And you drove it like you stole it:-p AND, If I remember correctly, it was a SPFI block, right? What I'm trying to say (again), instead of throwing all that money into a poorly designed engine, for around the same price (dont quote me on that) you could swap in a engine that would increase your HP and reliability ten fold. And that would still be stock!
  19. I'm not going to touch that one:-p After today the fleet will consist of... 84 Brat 86 Hatch (modded) 87.5 Turbo XT AWD 89 XT GL 4WD 89 XT6 89 RX 01 HD And NO parts cars:banana:
  20. Go any further north and you will (AK). I've seen some cars from there that would make the East Coasters shudder:-p
  21. Why paint it? It almost matches the color now:rolleyes:
  22. I wont even touch one. A guy I used to know and ride with, had 3 of them. He rolled them all, killing one friend. Thank god he never did it with me:-\
