October 9, 201114 yr No worries, man. I run a little lean at 6500 ft with a 125 primary, if that helps.130 was too rich up here when I feathered the throttle.
October 9, 201114 yr Thank you for your Kind answer ... ... I always Run my weberized warrior from the Sea Level to a Maximum of 1,600 Meters above on the Mountain Highs... (around 5,250 Feet) ... but usually at the average of 1,000 Mts. (around 3,280 Feet)
October 9, 201114 yr Head gaskets and all that's entailed with that arduous task. Oil change to T5 semisyn and a Bosch filter Coolant flush with Prestone (had that copper HG repair crap in it.) Brake flush and new Duralast front pads. Tomorrow: Exhaust
October 9, 201114 yr Made bumpers for my FWD GL today. They came out awesome Those came out really nice! Nice job. You must have a tube bender and the right bits to cut the fish mouths (is that what they're called) for the top and bottom tub. Very jealous of your shop setup, or access to shop setup.
October 9, 201114 yr It isn't I didn't think so. The stock one actually takes in air from in the fender, so it's colder than that will get. And that looks easier to hydrolock. And I don't think the panel filter is any sort of restriction to an EA... But so many people do those cone filter things with the shiny intake pipe so I thought there might be something to it I didn't get...

Very jealous of your shop setup, or access to shop setup. Thanks! I wish I had a tubing notcher, I used a grinder, and had to weld some pretty awful gaps We do however have a tubing bender. It's ancient, but it works awesome. It's a crush bender so not the best for high flow applications, but worked out awesome for this. And I love our shop I'm there all weekend every weekend ( I'm at school during the weeks so I have the need to work on my cars during the weekends)

October 10, 201114 yr Ordered some Empi axles for my Outback online for the price of one I was quoted at a local VW shop . Should be done by next weekend.
October 10, 201114 yr Discovered a bunch of issues in the front passenger side of the car. Whoever did the axle swap really buggered up the reinstall. Axle nut was loose Swaybar end bushing was gone Lower ball joint was totally thrashed Brake line was twisted Tie rod was hand tight at best. So I tightened everything up, replaced the lower BJ, fabbed a new swaybar bushing, untwisted the brake line, and drove it another 100 or so miles today .
October 10, 201114 yr Just out of curiosity, how is that better than the stock airbox? able to breathe in more air, i need to prevent the engine heat from being sucked in. being cotton can breather better, and its not trying breathe threw a tiny hole & paper filter.
October 10, 201114 yr able to breathe in more air, i need to prevent the engine heat from being sucked in. being cotton can breather better, and its not trying breathe threw a tiny hole & paper filter. Cotton covered in oil which at a minimum messes with the MAF while at the same time letting in more dirt. The OEM filter is capable of moving over 400 CFM of air - far more air than any EA, ER, or non-turbo EJ will ever need. Personally, if I was to put a cone filter on, I would get one of the non-oiled filters with the pre-filter. That way it does not mess with the MAF while adding extra available air for the cam and exhaust upgrades. I'm currently working on removing the pig rich points on the PandaWagon, I get them at full throttle in the upper power band and I think it has to do with the cobbled together intake I have on it. My mileage also drops by an average of 5 MPG when I go from 75MPH to 80MPH, but that's when I noticed the AFR guage sitting just in the rich area. If I punch it at that RPM (~4K) I leave in a cloud of soot. Would be fine if it was a diesel or turbocharged, but this is a N/A gas, not a good sign. All because the intake does not match the engine and ECU tune. The cone filter I currently am using (the next size up from the one you have), is full in about 7000 miles, I last cleaned it right after I returned from WCSS and the muddy water that flowed out of it was insane! Then I had to clean the MAF and the entire intake tubing from all the dust the filter missed. Wasn't too impressed with that filter, I will be going back to a paper panel filter as soon as I figure out my air box puzzle. Edited October 10, 201114 yr by subynut spelling
October 11, 201114 yr Replaced both front CVs on my 85 Brat. Next I need to do an oil change and replace a few gaskets to fix the oil leak issue. Anyone have an easy way to fix a very small head gasket leak till I have time to replace them? Thanks Jon
October 11, 201114 yr New Timing kit New alternator and power steering belt New AC belt New trailer hitch New trailer hitch wiring harness (works great) Running out of things that need attention.

October 12, 201114 yr Picked up a 94 Legacy GT wagon. Drove it home. Drained ATF, refilled Full oil and filter change Fixed the broken tab on the turn lens with a piece of ice cream bucket for the strap. Taking down notes on various normal oddities, such as burned out dash lights in the 80mph upper, and the 1rpm section, and the D indicator in the center dash, also burned out are the cruise and defrost backlights at night. Radio works, have yet to check the CD functionality, its a stock 94GT showing 46k on the odo...... Its dark blue metallic. going to have a list of things to take care of, but at least the back wiper works, as does the rear gate release handle. Was surprised to see the power window light was actually lit. More info later.

October 12, 201114 yr You can scoff at waxing your car, but it does help to protect the paint. Especially in the winter with lots of road grit. The PO of my car said he waxed it at least once a month, even through the winter. And it really does show. 240k miles in maine, and the paint is still pretty damn good!
October 12, 201114 yr Just spent about 45 minutes pulling manual belts, a working clock, and all trim pieces out of 3 different cars at the junk yard, to convert the Loyale to manual belts since the autos are picky about when they want to work. Debating on the roof rack and rear spoiler since I don't really want to drill into my roof/hatch. $30 for all of it. Then I snagged a nice Clarion head unit and 6 1/2" speakers for another $50. If I'm going to be in this car for 70 minutes every day, I need a properly working stereo and not blown out speakers. Fanagled a cup holder in... It's not perfect, but it's good enough.
