August 27, 200718 yr That's with a 3at too... I'm working on getting a video up of one of the other burns, but the photo gallery is being a PITA. It say's it's uploaded, but the video doesn't appear and my available space doesn't decrese. It's an AVI file, 2.9mb.
August 27, 200718 yr Been there done that with a 78 civic. Was interesting to hear the death wales of things popping. nipper
August 27, 200718 yr Author That would be 99% tire smoke, 1% burning mouse nest, and 0% engine smoke.
August 27, 200718 yr That's tire smoke!? But your on earth! How can you smok'em on dirt/earth? Hint Smokey the bear would not be happy.
August 27, 200718 yr Oh!! Hahahahahaaha aahahahahahahhahahahaaaa! :lol: Wow ok... Yeah Smoky would not be happy!!
August 27, 200718 yr Are you sure it's not a DL wagon? I'm looking at the metel strip on the bumper. But the GL did have that too! So IDK!
August 27, 200718 yr Author Russ is right, EA82 wagon. SPFI, 3at. It's on a steel plate, it just dug holes when it was straight dirt, and the piece of plywood broke and was just burning the edges of the tires. Steel wore nice and even.
August 27, 200718 yr Damm that DL look's pretty bad! What happend? How many DL touring wagons were made???? Seriously, if your observant enough to notice a little stripe thats there on all ea82s, maybe you should be more patient before posting and see what else you notice.

August 27, 200718 yr Author It's a GL. The fuel pump had sprung a leak, the rear brake lines had sprung leaks, and the whole car is a rustbucket. I bought it for $75, mostly because it has a clean title. It hasn't run in at least 3 years. Konrad and I rigged up a fuel system for it using a 2gallon can mounted under the hood and a spare SPFI fuel pump, and the engine runs great. Didn't even overheat while we were finishing off the tires. We put nails in the rear brake fittings to plug them off, so it has front brakes. I'll be dissasembling the car in the next few days. Konrad noticed sparks coming out of the muffler, turned out we cremated a mouse in it's nest. You have to put a car out in style. No sense just driving it to where you strip it and tearing it apart. You have to make some memories with the car first.
August 27, 200718 yr Yeah you can't tell it's a T wagon by the first photo! And not all EA82 wagon's have that little metel strip on the bumpers and side moldings! A Loyale does not have those. But i made a mistake.
August 27, 200718 yr But you can clearly see the composite headlights. True. But you still can't see it's a Touring wagon in the first photo, which is what I said:) Andy
August 27, 200718 yr You can't see that it's a T Wagon in the first photo. Well, *I* couldn't see the bumper in the first pic either, but I figured from this Are you sure it's not a DL wagon? I'm looking at the metel strip on the bumper. But the GL did have that too! So IDK! That there HAD to be more pics, hence my discovery that it was a TW. I couldnt even ID it as a soob in the first pic, at low res.. not at first.
August 27, 200718 yr Author See the gas tank sticking out from where the spare tire goes? That's what it's running off of. The fuel pump is tucked in below it, and the return hose goes into the filler neck of the gas can. Works awesome once we got the pump to prime.
August 28, 200718 yr Well in the first photo you can clearly see it's a Loyale, DL, GL vehicle because of the corner light! Plus i can tell a EA82 vehicle from just a glimpce..
August 28, 200718 yr I looked at the one pics he originally posted up, no others. I saw the distinctive EA82 bodylines and the composite headlight so I knew it was a GL and more then not, a good feeling that it was a wagon (because if it was a 3-door, I know he wouldn't be doing THIS to it, heh)
August 29, 200718 yr I couldnt even ID it as a soob in the first pic, at low res.. not at first. Assuming no parts have been changed, from the first pic I could tell it was an EA82, not a DL or Loyale, and probably post-1986. I saw that it was an EA82 right away, it wasn't a DL because it has the corner light that DLs never got, that style corner light didn't come around until 86 as far as I know, and Loyales don't have the metal strip on the side trim. And I guessed it was a wagon, because there are more of them than the other body styles. Andy

And I guessed it was a wagon, because there are more of them than the other body styles. Andy my point was that at first glance of the lower res image posted in the thread, there was no real detail on the bumper, and no detail to suggest it was a DL, visible.. so I had presumed the lad mustve looked in his album like most of us did as soon as we saw the photo. I was sarcastically poking fun at his "observation skills" that caught a ubiquitous bumper trim line, but missed the touring wagon roof.
