It's not crazy. I just wanted to post this picture. Edit: Ok, I thought this might be nuts. I tried it anyway. This car has an ECVT tranny in it. On a level surface, wet grass, I wanted to do a few 360's. In order to actually do that I had to: Put the car in Dsport mode, WOT. I did two complete turns in each direction, tight ones. It still lives:) I'm still grinning. Really, Doug I'm trying to figure out how to stuff a VW TDI in there...or even if I should. Is that a crazy thing to do with my Soobie?

You could try this: Duct tape the color of your car on the top and sides of the windshield, black across the bottom. It can be done so hardly no one even knows it, from a distance. That might seal it up for the time being. At least things won't get wet. And or...Duct tape a fan to an open window, seal the rest with cardboard, or something. Soapy water on the front glass area, turn the fan on, putting pressure inside the car. See any bubbles? And or...Pull the mouldings off the window, reseal around the glass. No, wait. Take it back to the windshield installer? You may have rust holes under that moulding...I can't tell from here. Long distance ain't all it's cracked up to be. Must be fifty ways.... hth, Doug

RMB, Humor me:) "Recent changes to car: Windshield was changed out." Did your car leak "before" the glass was changed? You used clear stuff on it. I heard that. If you took the plastic moulding off and filled the whole thing with clear stuff, it's probably not the windshield. Step away from the dashboard. Doug

Miami-where it came from Ruby-Ruby Mica paint Buster Thumper Once there was Frankenbu-Christina- Car was made from a few others. She named it. It looked like it:).

Step away from the carb, please. If you really wanna...take a cable, a return spring, and a small parts kit. Hook it all up. Leave that vacume thingy off. Wala. Mechanical secondary. Doug Never mind.

"Were these a factory option, are they rare, I love them!!" I don't know, they are around here. I had a set but they were mangled up. Came on an 88 Subaru from Canada. The headlight glass under them is pristine. They were a Subaru part and if I remember right, Lexan. Doug

"that engine will be weak operating off of one barrel.":lol: I drove one like that for a while, until I discovered the vacume line had a big crack in it. Then,. Doug

Hi, For a F.I. Justy, that seventy seven is OEM stock. Doug

I don't know. They were in a car I bought. Doug

Hi, Change that thermostat. You got your money out of it:). Doug

Haven't tried these yet. Doug

I remember a post about "vintage gas":). I'd clean the entire fuel system. Pull the injectors, inspect, o-rings, so on and so forth. "You don't need luck, if you're good".

Well I haven't. And it done got my brain all rolled up.

My two cents. At elevation, daily driver, EFI. When you go up, then go back down. For me, manual chokes, daily driver, they are a pain. Doug

Thanks Jerry. That would be 5750 rpm with the ECVT tranny...90 mph. That's the top speed, with the ECVT. It would out-run any EA-82 car that I've driven...up to that speed. I've been tempted to put one of my DR transmissions in it, with a different motor of course. I don't know of any Justy with a DR 5 speed in it. Anyone? About a lift. For the type of driving I do and the terrain, I don't need one. No big rocks to go over, lots of gas/oil well trails. Foothills to the mountains. It would effect the center of gravity to the negative, for me. Now, a boxer with a DR would go the other way on that count. I can only imagine low range WOT power shifts in this light-weight with a healthy boxer. On the other hand, I've been tempted to sell an old GM rig I have. Buy an LS all aluminum Corvette motor, Powerglide tranny. Cut the firewall. Straight front axle. I have a 31 spline 9" Ford rear end...drag strip. You get the picture. I don't know right now. Doug Edit: Just FYI. You won't see any antenna on that Justy. AC, radio, spare tire, jack, lug wrench, and more...all gone. When I'm driving it like that. Those are roll bars on top. Motorcycle battery too. All it's got to do is start the car.

Hey, I've got unfettered access to about 200 acres here. In the hills. Groomed motorcycle/atv trail kinda stuff. Long gravel roads, one a private campground. Anyway. This car has 71,000 actual miles on it. I suspect water pump seal failure. I knew it as the signs were all there. Screw it. That's why I've got parts cars. I beat on it. With those tires, like driving on marbles, full throttle. It was worth it. It's done. Doug

del, If you would, pm me or something with more info, better pic of your avitar. Sincerely, Doug

Hummm, new girlfriend?

Hi Gary, I know what you mean. IMO, ABS is for people who don't know how to drive. You got it right, times when I want to lock them up. Hell, I'd grind the tires flat if I needed to. Doug

Hey Mark, Can you take a picture of that? Doug

Hi Mark, Yes, your Loyale has a pcv valve. Open hood, remove spare tire, look down behind the throttle body...on the back. Doug

Gearhead.

Hi, I value that "stop leak" about as much as "overhaul in a can". Your judgement is intact. It won't hurt anything, but your wallet. Will it fix the leak? No. Sincerely, Doug

I bought three feet at NAPA. That hose was 8mm on a 86 GL EA-82 I got for a guy. NAPA BELTS/HOSE 5/16 INCH (8.0mm) HEATER HOSE MADE IN U.S.A. GL11066 Y2312. That's what is printed on it. But the OP wants a factory hose. Doug
