Twitch de la Brat Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I broke it Driver's side rear wheel bearing let go completely and I had to limp it to work riding on the drum brake No better time to upgrade to rear discs, I guess :-\ Now I get to fix Xandra ASAP so that I can drive for work. And I get to wait until I can afford a set of rear hubs from P&S. If they even have a turbo car in there. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Some of these posts are WORTHLESS without pictures. I don't want to take pix of the damage For a mental image, imagine the back of a white BRAT then make the left rear tire look like this / That's about it.

Goobysoobs Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Finished the CV project ended up replacing the CV axle twice due to getting the wrong one first, and replaced the bearings/seals and all the cotter pins. next on my project list is to get new fenders and possibly paint it.

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I replaced all my timing components on Xandra, and I timed her in one try Extremely proud of myself for having only timed her once before. Also discovered a bunch of rust inside the hoses :-\ So tomorrow I'm gonna flush the block and the rad to make sure there's nothing that could block flow and hopefully clean up any deposits.

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Will do, most likely just blow water through with the hose, forward and back. Maybe run some vinegar or some acidic formula through it as well, to eliminate any surface rust. Then some baking soda to see a fountain come out of my engine Twitch PS: Might actually do the baking soda with vinegar as it may blast out anything the water misses.

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Well, I flushed my engine and rad, and basically all I did was spray vinegar water into both the block and the rad, then let it sit while I went and got the hose. Flushed it out with the hose, spraying in from the top of the block, and also from the rad cap and the upper rad outlet. Cleaned her out gooooood. Got some more rust colored water out and for a while my car smelled like apple cider vinegar. At least until I put the anti freeze in that is...

Christred Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Had to swap the engine out of my '88 GL10 and put a better running engine in, last one had pressure issues 2 of the spark plug sockets put out 110 psi and the others barely had 40 psi. Had to change power steering pump, and a few other odds and ends (newish front tires included ). Took the car through the car wash which did it a lot of good... been sitting for more than 6 years...it is now running and back from the dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabus-84HBDR Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Got the camber fixed on the wagon... Already wore out a brand new set of cooper discoverers. Strut blocks from monstaru, made by Bill. Very nice blocks. Drilled my front hubs to 6 lug, now have 4 and 6 lug hubs, pugs/chevy/yota rim options. Swampers coming soon. Front brush guard off stock ea71/81? its the one with a winch mount! Going to swap out the rear diff for e reg diff, not a welded one. Put up a pic this afternoon. Waiting for my brother to finish building my hi comp ea81!!
