May 9, 201213 yr This is why you mount two larger driving lights in place of the original turn signals, then everyone will know when your turning! I never trust anyones blinker anyway, people never turn when its on. These blinkers suck so bad. You can't see them unless you're looking direct on at the car because they're set so far back. It's not uncommon for me to be at an intersection and people don't know if I have a blinker on because they can't see it. I keep meaning to add a relay or something so they also turn on the corner markers.
May 9, 201213 yr Installed newer "working" cd player. Now for a commercial free ride to work and back.

You must be thinking of the '87-up facelift bumpers.

May 10, 201213 yr Seafomed the Desert Find. After sitting for god knows how long empty of fuel, plugs looked like they were in my woodstove, evil off-idle stumble, went and bought total tune up. plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air cleaner and oil filter for sub 60 bucks. My ATV costs more to tune up...... I singlehandedly caused global warming with my cleaning. got a plate sized PILE of carbon out of the pipe, stumble gone, still has a miss above 3K, but thinking that's valves needing adjusting....which is tomorrow.
May 10, 201213 yr Adjusted the timing in Blue.. 10 deg btdc down to 8. Seems to be shifting a bit smoother and has more get up n go at lower speeds, at least to my imagination First time timing a vehicle, surprisingly easy. Hopefully that helps the mpg a bit, suspect rear brakes are effecting it as well. Adjustment screw doesnt effect the spinning of the tire at all while messing with brakes, not a full spin at any adjustment :s
May 10, 201213 yr these are my new plans for a loyal style body: inline 4 cummins, and vegetable oil for alternative fuel, should be pretty cool. should see awesome torque #'s and i could do what ever i wanted. tube chassis cummins with subaru body that is eco friendly and bad rump roast!
May 11, 201213 yr The signals on NED are the flush '85-'86 style. This style is easy to see.You must be thinking of the '87-up facelift bumpers. Yupp mine are right up front... people are dumb... on my street I can see my blinkers at both sides of the street flashing off houses... in the front and the back (which are tinted by the way)
May 11, 201213 yr Quote of the day! Wasnt intended at anyone, Ive had a loyale with the recessed lights and I saw no difference, Im just saying people are dumb if they cant see them... But I get complaints on my tail lights, yet Ive checked them completely.. LEGAL
May 12, 201213 yr so just lowerd my leggy 1.5in in the from and 1in in the rear (thanks TunerTechRaceing) and did it all for free yeahbuddy:headbang:
May 12, 201213 yr Ben is up on the ramps right now cooling off so I can find a pesky coolant leak that went from drip drip drip to Niagara falls overnight. Getting tired of his shenanigans.
May 12, 201213 yr How are you painting your corner markers? You know NAPA has orange bulbs that will fit, right? The bigger ones will anyway, and if not bop them over the head and ask for the guy who can look at all the lights in stock, not just use the computer prompt to say "oh the Loyale needs white ones"...
May 12, 201213 yr Loaded up the wagon and took two 10 year olds fishing. We caught a small throwback size channel cat and of all things....a backpack. It was still better than a good day at work.

May 12, 201213 yr not just use the computer prompt to say "oh the Loyale needs white ones"... That just irks me something fierce. Needed an adapter for a quick repair of an exhaust system. Me; Need an exhaust pipe adapter, 2-1/8 ID-2-1/8 OD. Clerk; What vehicle is this for? Me; I just need an adapter, it's not a vehicle specific part. Clerk; I can't look up parts if I don't know what vehicle that it fits. Me: It's an exhaust adapter, it fit's any damned vehicle what has an exhaust system. Just look in the exhaust section and you will see them. Clerk; I can't look up any parts unless I know what vehicle it's for. Me; Why,,, do you have a job here? And I left. Went to another parts store, said exact same line, got my part Edited May 12, 201213 yr by TomRhere
May 12, 201213 yr Think I have finally solved all of Ben's coolant leak issues. Knock on wood. On a side note, some air pumping up through the oil filler neck with the engine running is normal, right? No smoke, no real powerful scents; just about 1/4 of the quantity of air that would come out of the exhaust pipe is coming out of the filler neck with the cap off and the engine running. Pretty sure that's normal..could use the reassurance though
May 12, 201213 yr How are you painting your corner markers? You can get stained glass spray, just gonna spray them orange like Simple_Monkey did for OBK25XT
May 12, 201213 yr Started working on the transmission today just doing a light cleaning and removing old bits.
May 15, 201213 yr Author Got a 105k ej22 and fwd auto trans, crossmember, steering rack, and control arms, sway bar, and struts and knuckles from a rolled 95 L sedan for $250 tax included. other than that, still driving the 96 sedamn with the 98 ej22 that jumped time on the passenger cam. Still runs ok, just "chuggy" at idle. Ordering an ebay UEL header for the swap back to dual port, as the factory manifold was sacrificed to make it single port. yuk. oh well, perfect excuse to get a header and a can muffler!
