March 12, 201016 yr It's not what I have done. BF is doing it. He's been busy painting exterior, refurbishing bumpers, rims, mud flaps, all side strips etc. Still has a couple more add ons like skid plate and roof rack to go. And some fine-tuning on the paint job. Will post pics when the 86 Hatch is done. My job is to think of a new name - I've called him Hatch Boy since I got him and I think he is looking fantastic and needs a "heavier name".
March 12, 201016 yr I changed the engine yet again in my 83 Leone for another EA81. Now I've got an exhaust leak and I've got to replace my inner cv (DOJ) boots on both front shafts. That should happen today.
March 13, 201016 yr in the process of cutting my fenders to clear the bigger tires whoo! oh and 4 the record 225 70s rub on stock suspension.
March 15, 201016 yr replaced O2 sensor and am waiting on the clutch to come in so I can replace it and get my wagon working!
March 15, 201016 yr Sweet, but you're missing some trim there Twitch it's in the glove box I'm waiting on a clip for it .
March 15, 201016 yr it's in the glove box I'm waiting on a clip for it . Awesome. What I did to my suby today, is drive it, and I will be driving it more today. And keep worrying about that drivers side wheel bearing that's getting louder. Why do the driver's side wheel bearings hate me so much? Same one that just detonated on my BRAT Twitch
March 15, 201016 yr Just got new struts. kyb gr2. finally got here... going to go put them on! How hard is it to make a srping compressor? goin to just do that instead of renting one... Got new exhaust gaskets to put on, the pass side blew out the other day, havnt drove her since put the bumper on. Going to sandblast and paint it too. Been driving the 88 gl10, think its getting ready to take a poo. . .:-\ getting weak. -twitch- ive had this bumper for years. just found something cool enough to put it on.
March 15, 201016 yr I dunno...I had a simular problem with the driver's front half shaft. I replaced about twice as many on that side than the passengers. But only on the 86.
March 16, 201016 yr Replaced my XT's two "front sway bar end link bushings" which took a while to locate and receive from the Subaru dealer. Next is flushing out the A/C and replacing some orings, then charging with R12 Freon
March 16, 201016 yr I picked up my six lug conversion from MR. Brat:banana: Just have to finish the rear portion of the lift and then do some fender bashing. Mike
March 17, 201016 yr finished the 6 lug swap. drilled out the wheels. the 215 70s do rub sometimes. so more bashing and beating is to come. haha. mobs way gnarlier though. especially in the sand too. handles better with the wheel offset. i dig it lotsdeds. looks frickn shweet 2
March 17, 201016 yr I replaced my O2 sensor, and now Xandra runs well again! Hopefully my gas mileage will go back up now And I started sanding the rust out of the bed of my BRAT. Its gonna take a while, a looooooong while. Esp. if my drill battery only lasts 10 minutes at a time. I think I'm gonna need to use the corded drill and grinder. Twitch
March 18, 201016 yr Shuffle and deal Tire swapin... Like new toyo eclipse from black bart/brat to the driver BRAT, mud n studs to the GL rollers on bart least till its under it's own power. Got the goodies pulled from BART and even got the lil EA71 to sputter at me. goodies from BART cleaned prepped and primed/painted. Bit of clean up left to do on the seats and welding on the high bar and final touchups. Taught my daughter the magic of polishing compound and a random orbit buffer Then I took the right seat for one of her first driving lessons....for which I caught royal raw rump for
March 19, 201016 yr That's a frikin speed brake Let em try that next week at Martinsville Edited March 19, 201016 yr by asis
March 19, 201016 yr wouldn't need a shoot for the drag strip. Installed powersteering in the brat tonight.
March 19, 201016 yr Weeell, the O2 sensor didn't fix my problem, so I started mentally diagnosing my car tonight. And continue to worry about my rear wheel bearing... :-\ Twitch
March 19, 201016 yr the spoiler is for autocross and yes it kills milage but creates down force at lower speed so the trade off may be ok. I will find out this week end when I race it.
March 21, 201016 yr Working on getting the Tranny back in... the weather seems to work against me though.
