And so with the EFI or carb thing. The old gen or new gen cars. No one is right or wrong, except for what they choose is right or wrong for them. Pay your money and take your choice. I've got choices. Always have, since the day I was born. (George Jones, btw) Peace, Sincerely, Doug

/me going to batteryuniversity. /me thinks ed may be a teacher there.

"(The Li-Ion batteries in you cell phone don't like that either. They prefer a half drain then charge, with about once every 30 cycles going all the way down to re-sync up the phone's battery meter, but thats a different thread/forum altogether)" I didn't know that. /me staring at my expensive Lumix Panasonic Battery Pack/Bloc-Batterie 3.7V 1000mAh Li-ion that I take Subaru pictures with. On topic:) Ty, Doug

I'm like 99% sure on this. Buy it. Replace the hub/bearings/seals, whatever. I had one do this. When I took one side apart, the axel was snapped into. No rust. New carb, sell it and recoup some money. So on and so forth. Or not. hth Doug

Yea but, he's complaining because "Haraboji" ain't what he used to be. Sincerely, Doug

Bump. TYVM. Nice work. Sincerely, Doug

This will be done at Gainesville, Florida. My cousins car.http://www.dragtimes.com/Chevrolet-Nova-Timeslip-3503.html Like waving a red flag in front of a bull:) So little time and money. Where are those sponsors when you need them. lol jk Supercars, super cheap! Everyone loves a bargain. How about a V8-powered VW Bug that can rip off 10-second drag passes--and was built for two grand? Each year, Grassroots Motorsports magazine challenges its readers to build a low-buck supercar. The budget? Take the current year and put a dollar sign in front of it. While the rules are simple and the budget is small, Grassroots Motorsports $2008 Challenge competitors responded with amazing creations, including turbo Hondas, a World War II-themed BMW, and that fire-breathing Beetle.

" where should i look? " The place you were wrenching on. I think Bucky92 prolly hit the nail on the head:). hope that's all it is. Doug

Hey coldfusion21, Something to consider. Buy, borrow, or mabie you have a laser temperature gun. I got mine at a regular auto parts house and it's extremely usefull. I've never had an EA-82 car that ran half way on the temperature gage... Except for the ones that something was wrong with them. Bad radiator, blown headgasket, stuck cheap aftermarket thermostat. But I don't live in a hot climate either, and I've never had one with a gage that far off. YMMV. hth, Doug

Yes. Hi Peter, When I did this, I just swapped them out. Took all that stuff off an automatic carb and replaced it with the stuff off a manual trans carb. It's been a while, but I have 4 carbs I can look at tommorrow to refresh my memory if you need it. Doug

Hey, He's a 40 lb. Shepherd pup. He's too young to drive:). This car is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I'm going to run it across the scales soon. I want it as low as I can get it. ty. Doug Edit: Both tie rod ends are shot. That happens around here. This is steeper and deeper than it looks from this picture. There are three ditches on this trail too. Best way to cross is diagional and jump them, kinda.

PCI made in Japan? My EA-82 kit was made in China. Doug

"a few days ago it was really cold at night (20-30F) and it ran like a champ." If I feed my Subaru Sunoco 94 and cold air, it runs like a champ too. Mabie we should start a club? I just woke up. Pull the timing back? Doug

Snagged this picture from ebay. Lots of variations listed there. I plan to try a pan evacuation deal on an EA-82 one of these days. For off road. hth Doug

Both sway bars removed. Last pictures of the day. Exhaust heat shields all removed. I've taken an interest in "Dwarf Car" technology. lol Later on At 5500 rpm on gravel/ice/snow I'm going about 68 mph. It doesn't hook up, mabie that's a good thing. Feather the throttle. On blacktop at 5750, 90 mph. It used to anyway, haven't tried it lately. I had deer to the left of me, cows to the right, a private bridge up ahead. Only time I dared to look at the speedo/tach. Hey, this thing has Ds range on the tranny, you know:). Doug P.S. Happy Trails

Hi, I can't comment on anything but the PCI kit for EA-82, so here goes. I installed a PCI kit on a car that I "once in a while" turned to 7000 rpm. After a few thousand miles, the drivers side belt broke while crusing up the interstate. Replaced it and not another problem. My impression of the rest of the kit? Well, it's lightweight compared to OEM and such. But on these cars, you replace them at 60 K... Those water pumps for EA engines have a stamped impeller compared to cast for OEM style. They kinda creep me out for a Subaru engine. YMMV Doug

"He thinks quote "it's loaded up" If a body dude thinks that, he prolly flooded it trying to get it started. Doug

What a dog. I wouldn't argue with him. Doug

At a friends garage, he was getting annoyed with this thing. I told him to kill it. He did good. Heres mine. Junkyard dog. A pup, 5 mo. old. Shepherd.

"A lot of ghetto mods have been done to the engine, including a Volvo intercooler." "The thing hauls rump roast." Hummm. You bought it for that and drive it like you stole it...is that a problem? I'm going to go read the rest now. Doug

Time is short to be looking here...mabie. One poster that comes to mind, GD. General Disorder, and what he's put out here. Doug

If it's cold where you live right now, you don't have to worry about it for a while. Look at your exhaust. Does it look like a regular old exhaust pipe? If it looks like something else, you have heat shields. Doug

Hey, I've never worked on one of those. I'm thinking what Gary was. One damn bolt somewhere. lol really. Doug

It's the thought that counts:) Someone fix the man up, cheap. Or I will. Doug
