Turbone

You take a medical/drama TV show as serious, reliable medical fact/information?

I didnt split the case, Qman did and that was about 5yrs ago. They are 185/70/14's I painted these before last winter and ran them on my RX.

I've had years of practice. And the kids are in school. And I've been unemployed for quite a while now. Next project is the SVX.

Some of you may recognize it, it used to belong to Qman. He built it and used it for Rally X for a season, winning his class (truck). A little about the car.... EA81 with EA71 pistons Hotter cams. Qman may have to give info on these, I dont recall. Recurved disty. Weber carb. Catless exhaust. GL-10 rear sway bar and disc brakes. This has been sitting for a while. I purchased it about a year ago and have just recently started putting new HG's and cleaning things up on the engine. We knew it had a internal water leak and a seized WP, but we didnt know how bad it was. Oh, it was bad.........real bad. Pics are in order of work done. Prior to engine removal. Engine out. I took the heads in and had them milled and a broken intake bolt removed Then I started cleaning. *WARNING* These pics are not for the squeamish. If you have a weak stomach, scroll to the bottom. Half the block cleaned. I have never seen a mix of oil and water like this, it was like chocolate pudding. And it was everywhere. Oil pan full of pudding......yummmm. Oil filter was almost full also. Once I had the inside of the oilpan clean, I had this to work on. The valve covers where just as messy inside and needed lovin on the outside. Yes, even the carb got slimed. I had to remove the top and clean the bowl, jets and internals. Ok, enough of the gross stuff. Its time for pretty. I dont think I need captions for all this. I used a wire wheel on my Makita and then clearcoated it all, it will be easy to keep clean now. I still have work to do in the engine bay. But the engine is in and running (like crap). I need tune up stuff and need to burn the old gas off. I also need to replace the seats. These were setup for Qman, who happens to be quite a bit taller than me. And it needs a good cleaning/clay bar along with lots of trim repainting. Heres a few pics of the Brat. I mounted my Hankook iPikes with pugs today.

I can bring cookies and maybe some other goodies

Check the ignition connection plug under the dash first. They have a tendency to get toasty from over cranking and years of use. Maybe check the fusible link in the engine compartment also.

Gee, real nice job on the painting

Very nice, I like all 5. If I had the $ I would jump on the T-Leg.

Last year was snow-less. Sorry Ken, couldnt resist :-p 07 we had quite a bit of snow. These pics where taken in the same staging area.

Pics from my wifes old 86 T-Wagon. Yeah, I know....it was pretty dirty I used the same console cupholder in my RX. I dont have any pics of the ones in my Hatch yet, will soon tho. I have one of the door/window hook types stuck into the crack between the center radio console and the heater control panel.

And the price of gas was from .14c to .24c a gallon!

Did you check all the coolant line connections? 2 at the tranny and 2 at the radiator. Also might look underneath while its running and look for drips.

Now that had to be one exciting (and long) trip!

If you get the control arm off, just replace it with another. I'm sure someone in your neck of the woods will have a extra.

Sometimes its a little slow here, not at all like Nasioc. I remember seeing your car at WCSS11, didnt you win something? And get some pics up of that Brat

Might also check if you are getting full throttle at the carb. Have someone push the pedal to the floor then check at the carb to see if you can give it any more at the linkage.

My vote is for the 02 sensor. How is the engine power wise?

My longest road trip was back in 07. Went from my place in WA to Deals Gap in TN (Tail of the Dragon) to spend the weekend with a bunch of XT buddies. 6ooomi trip with a few detours.

Does your car have a catalytic converter? It acts like a clogged cat. I would try adjusting the timing a little also, it doesnt have to be dead on.

Yup, just a regular 23 spline 4wd axle is what you need.

Get a new hood and put a front mount IC in it

I suggest reading thru this thread - http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88249 It has alot of good info. I was in the same boat as Junkie, bought a cheap MBC but I had worse results than he did. I broke the ring landings off a piston. So, after getting a rebuilt engine, I broke it in then slowly did my mods. I'm using a Hallman MBC now, it works great. I can dial in up to 12lbs, thats where I hit the fuel cut. I run at 10lbs tho, I need it to last the winter. Heres what my setup looks like.

Considering all the wind storms we've been having, a few good chainsaws might be good to have with us. I will bring my bowsaw if someone wants to be more "traditional" for cutting a X-Mas tree

You dont have to get a tree, come and enjoy the snow (hopefully). Heres the thread(s) and people coming. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=105143 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1875717 As you can see, theres going to be alot of people there. And there will be lots of other rigs too, not just Soobs.

Just make sure you use the axles from the turbo tranny.
