    Got third eye wired up.

  • '85 was the last year for the jumpseats, mine has them factory. '86 and up didn't have the jumpseat option. Also Brats only had the centerlamp in '82, the first year of the second generation Brat.

Exedy clutch came in the mail today and engine gasket kit shouldn't be to far behind. Took the heads to the machine shop last friday to get resurfaced and 3 leaking valves ground. Picked them up yesterday and it only cost $130 to get that done. Also bought a ej to ea adapter plate from Prwa101 over a week ago. I'm thinking i'm going to go with a carb since it makes it simpler, easier to work on, and less stuff to go wrong. Plus i would need to get a parts car to get everything i would need for fuel injection system or spend a hell of a money at pick n pull. If i don't like it carb'd i can always swap it to fuel injection.

Have had a bunch of parts come in the mail for this the past couple weeks. Set of old new stock kyb strut inserts, rancho 5241 rear shocks, mr. gasket manual 1-6 psi fuel pressure regulator, rebuilt motorcraft escort distributor, and redline weber jet kit.

I'm using the 3.9 trans above in my hatch back so  i bought this. It's a 85 gl10 turbo sedan. Has the 5 speed d/r 3.7 with open rear diff and disk brakes. Has working digi dash, ride height but front struts have been replaced with kyb's, cruise control, power everything, and rx interior minus front seats. ea82t is shot with almost no compression in all 4 cylinders. I think the heads cracked, rings leak, bad head gaskets, ect. The guy said it was ran at 10 psi of boost i think it was more like 20 psi since its only got 160k.

What are you gonna do with the gl10? More specifically the turbo stuff?

I'm going to part it completely. The things i'm keeping are the front end, rear disks, trans, drive line, rear diff, fly wheel and bolts, air shock stuff if i ever decide to do that, and maybe the muffler. Everything else i'm selling.

Any chance you would wanna sell me that scoop?

I doubt you want it. It's made out of 2 paint roller pans. You can go buy 2 yourself cheaper than coming out to me and getting them.
