Hi, "And I'm having thermostat problems right now so it ain't getting warm." Well, I'd fix this first, then go from there. hth Doug

Hey, I would think someone here on the board could fix you right up with what you need, used. One bar on front? 16mm...mabie. Doug

I have a 1986 GL-10 that has 19mm front 16mm rear stock. I've heard of a 17, 15 combo as well. 20 front 20 rear is an OEM bolt on I believe. XT6? These stock bars are tubular and light weight. Not a chunk of heavy iron, btw. hth, Doug

Fuel and brake hardlines inside the car and the quality finish on them. Fuel pump/sending unit access panel inside the car. With Justy, no bolts. Low center of gravity. Old GL wagon, headliner is cardboard. Tubular sway bars. Lighter weight. Optional stainless roof rack. Shaped like airplane wings. The GL power lock system. Almost impossible to lock yourself out. Gotta go. Later on, Sorry Historic peeps. Just realized I was in this section. Doug

Hey, Here is Buster today. He is a little over 5 months old and he tried catch and release with a mini van a while back. Grabbed the tire and lost some teeth on the lower jaw and messed his right leg up a bit. Burnt child dreds the fire. Experience the most through teacher, and all that. I sure hope he learned his lesson. Van was going fast by my front door and it's the only time he has ever went after a car. I think it's because it sounded like a RC Truck that he hates. Mabie. Doug

Snagged this picture from Japan.

Here you go. Haven't used this one yet, but I will. Header calculator. http://www.wallaceracing.com/header_length.php Doug

Hi, Looking good man. I saved the top picture because... "REALLY like that bumper too. Might have to copy it, lol." Doug Like the skid-plate too.

Snagged this on-line. Dan Lemons, Lemons Headers: Primary Diameter "I don't think there is an easy rule of thumb or formula for determining proper primary diameter, and it more often comes down to what works in the real world," says Lemons. "Engine builders and experienced header builders are usually a good source for input. When sizing a header, there are obvious things to take into consideration such as displacement, compression ratio, and horsepower. However, we must also consider the weight of the car. Heavy cars need more torque, as do cars with big tires. On a car with small tires, we may use a bigger tube to kill some of the torque and help manage the shock to the tires at launch, especially if there is nitrous or a blower. Converters with lower stall speeds will require more torque than a high-stall converter-hence smaller tubes-while nitrous and blower motors like bigger tube sizes. To illustrate our point, let's suppose you have a 540ci big-block with 14.0:1 compression making 900 to 1,100 hp on motor plus another 300 to 500 hp on nitrous. In a 3,100-pound car with 10.5-inch tires, a 5,500-stall converter, and mufflers, the motor would typically need a stepped 21/4- to 23/8-inch header with 4- to 41/2-inch collectors." To make it simple, 540 inch motor, max 1600 hp. 200 hp per cylinder. He would use a stepped 2 1/4' to 2 3/8" primary on each cylinder. I know it ain't that simple, but hth. Doug

Bigger will be louder and weigh more. Double negative for me. Doug

I'll add to this. A man who knows what he is doing with headers asked me a question. In this case, with siamese ports dumping into one pipe, that question would be: How much horsepower does those two cylinders make? This is one consideration in choosing the diameter. I've turned an EA-82 7000 rpm through 1 7/8" pipes. I ran out of camshaft, not exhaust. hth Doug

Bump. I'm taking notes.

Not what you're asking about, but: If you haven't bored it yet, RAM has a set of 0.020 over cast turbo pistons with rings for $180.00. All 4. Doug Just one set, for that price, I believe. Edit: Engine Parts House, ebay. ITM Turbo pistons, rings, pins, and locks. About $175.00. for the set of 4. 0.020 over tho. . Just FYI. Haven't used that brand.

Well Peter, I'm the builder. The modifier. I only use what works, what is the point otherwise? Sincerely, Doug Edit: Crystal ball on the table. I don't know the future, Peter. P.S. I'm cheap. Really.

Peter, I may be missing something here. That aluminum chunk? After I drill the thing out I disgard the whole mess. I use the screw and spring, put some blue locktite on the threads if it's loose. Doug

Hi, I've had a few of these apart. What I did was ground a few screwdrivers down to fit. All the jets, air bleeds, power valve, so on and so forth. That plug for the idle mix screw, I just drilled it out. I think a quarter inch bit was the last bit used on it. Throttle chamber from the float chamber, large screws on the t chamber side. hth, Doug

Oh yea:).

/me shudders

Hey, 15" alloy. Doug

http://www.snowshoemtn.com/todo/events/calendar/january/master%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bmountain.htm?crmcontact=5626399&crmnws=ROG_SN_NWS_01_E1_081223 I'm going to try to make it to this event. I'll take my Justy if possible. Doug

Hi Bobby, What I've got is 120,000 mile, very good stuff. But...you're on the left coast. I would think you could find a complete setup near your home cheap. If not, we can work something out. I would still buy your rack if you get your new-to-you stuff local. Keep me updated. Sincerely, Doug

Hey, I did this because I wanted to know. I used a 1K capacity TOLEDO scale. Stacked 4 wheels at a time, no valve stems, wheel weights, or center caps. Relatively clean wheels. I weighed 3 NOS Premier OEM wheels. No center caps or lug nuts, valve stems, or weights.: 39+lbs for three of them. All I have. In search of one more new wheel. 59+lbs.> 4 black steel OEM 1988 65+lbs> 4 white wagon OEM 1987 86 lbs> 4 15" Pug Doug

I'm interested in those JDM wheels. Next year tho, K? "That means I need to scrape up the cash in the next few days". Doug Edit: Hey Steve, It's not the time for me to buy these. I'm out. Thanks anyway. Sincerely, Doug

There must be 50 ways. Dunk the block in vinegar, (acetic acid sp?) Swab the bores with acid and or rust remover liquid. What you got on hand? 400 grit ball hone with tons of lube to flush it out. Water will work. If you submerge it in a tank. Air dry, blow dry, immediately spray with WD-40. Fine steel wool? Rusty bore eating solution? Doug
