It wont go
Sounds like you spun a hub. Pull the dust caps off the front axles and then get out the car in gear while running. See if the axle(s) are turning in the hub(s). Oh, and it would be a good idea to block the wheels

Which Fender flares for my hatch
Why get expensive flares when they will just get torn off when you offroad the car? Unless you dont have any trees or big rocks where you offroad?

911 help now.
Let it run for a while, it might burn off.

Which Fender flares for my hatch
Go to any garden store or major dept stores garden section and look for the 3in rubber or PVC seperation stripping. Its used for dividing the lawn from flowerbeds. Comes in rolls.

EA81T Project.......
You will also need the complete exhaust also. Either the EA81T or EA82T, cross-over pipe (Header) and the down pipe. But if you go this route, you will need to make a piece of pipe that will replace the turbo. And the cross member from a turbo car is needed also. The whole thing might be easier if you used a EA81T and replaced the turbo pistons with FI pistons.

If I can remember I will take some pics between the rain squalls tomorrow. Mine is a little different than Adams, and it has the lifted engine.

Oil Pump Question
Sorry Nipper, my bad. Gots to read with my glasses on But if the engine has good oil pressure, why change it? Just throw a new reseal on it and call it good. If the other stuff isnt leaking, dont mess with it. I've found that sometimes when replacing seals that dont leak, end up leaking after replacement.
-
help leaking coolant under the thermostat housing.
Your right, it is a PITA to change. What you need is a pair of real long needle nose pliers, maybe with a bend on the end. This will allow you to get the new hose onto the fitting thats under the intake. Otherwise, your alternative is to lift the intake and replace the hose :-\ Dont forget the spring clip on the end of the hose.

Oil Pump Question
The small hole is part of the casting of the block, but should have a dab of sealant to make sure the oil pump is sealed good. As for replacing the oil pump everytime you do the timing belts? Totally un-necessary, oil pumps should last at least 100K. Just my opinion.

Calling John Bloom (again)
No, not all look like that. There are some of us that have a sub frame built above the x-member that the engine mounts to. It brings it back up to the original position, and out of the water and muck.
-
Yes!!! Now I Can Offroad!!!
Theres only 2 Brats with a ER27. Adam NDJ and Archemtis. Contact them if you want the skinny on the swap.

Calling John Bloom (again)
Hey, wheres the engine? All it looks like there, is a intake and alternator sitting on the x-member Oh, I forgot, some of you with lifts have the engine still on the x-member :-p Sub-frame baby Glad you got the tranny in, now when you coming out?

Can this windshield be saved
Wow, from the sound of it, its a wonder some of you ever got a window out in one peice I have got a few out by using a utility knife or a fillet knife. Its skinny enough to get in between the glass and metal. I have even used a propane torch to heat the knife. Once I get most of the glue cut, especially the corners, I use a hood release cable (junkyard tools are great) to finish the cut. If you want to do this alot I recommend buying a very expencive tool that cuts the glue like butter. It takes about 10min to get a window out using one. A used one might cost a couple bills
