  1. good day, day before my birthday oh adn for those in Colorado area, there is a drift competition at pike's peak international raceway
  2. yeah get the turbo, my fiancee's Impreza runs out of breath going over the summit but my turbowagon does just fine
  3. Why would you pay for fake bullet holes in LA? Just go park your car in downtown Compton overnight, it'll get some real ones for free
  4. I thikn it's the early 80s Datsun 4x4s that used an R160, cuz my friend had one, but I remembe diggign a while back and not being able to find an LSD or locker for it, HOWEVER you CAN get one for a 510 through Nissan Motorsports, but they are very expensive.
  5. thanks! and I really don't have too much of a problem with Hondas, they are easy to work on and they are great reliable cars when ya don't rod the %*%* out of 'em It's more the ppl who are like hey I gotta Civic with some stickers, green chrome window tint, a big wing and a fart pipe, I'm cool!!!
  6. I bought a set of Accel 8mm wires for my Subaru, and the dang boots split every time I stuck it ovre the disty, so I returned them and got a set of Autolites, yeah they suck, and they don't fit the in the stock routing, but they work :-P
  7. it will have to complete 40 warm up cycles w/out misfiring for the light to go off, or something to that effect.. and I think it's gotta do it under a similar condition window.. grrr been too long since EMS gotta dig the boog out...
  8. holy %$*%*$*hooks batman! I need to do some mods to my wagon, sheesh if you have that little done and you run a 14, I wonder what I could do with that + cams and some more goodies
  9. Right, diesel engines work on Bohls law that states that a gas will get hotter as it is compressed. Take air and compress it 23 times and it gets hot enough to ignite the diesel fuel. That;'s why they are called a compression ignition engine. I've got a diesel in my 92 Ram, got 14.5 coming out here from Oregon loaded down + towing a trailer with my Subie on it, try doing that with a gas truck! (My grandfather gets 11 MPG UNLOADED with his 460, I get like 17 back home unloaded, and he gets 7 loaded and I get between 14 and 16 depending on what I'm towing and where...)
  10. or the timing belt, when it gets loose it makes the distributor gear clack against the gear on the camshaft, sounds like a rod knock, but a new timing belt fixes it all Oh, and 85 RXs, they only made 1500
  11. yeah but your DVOM isn't putting out umpteen million volts to test the resistance of the tire either And being metal has nothing to do with getting hit by lightning, not really anyway, yeaqh ,metal = conductor but what about trees? Trees aren't conductors but they get hit all the time, it's about being the tallest thing around not so much being metal, cuz the first ground leader to touch the step leader from the cloud is the path that the bolt will take. Somewhere there is a picture of lightning striking a tree next to a house, and on top of the house is a TV antenna, and off the TV antenna is coming a small bolt of lightning, pointing upwards towards the cloud...
  12. You could just use a FT4WD tranny and put a drive line lock in the rear, like they put in trucklets and stuff ppl tow behind their motorhomes, unlock the drive shaft, lock the center diff, and ya have 2WD. Seen the same thing for front axles, could do that then you'd have RWD...
  13. Or take the positive wire (It's the one connected to the center of the back of the lighter) and wire it (With a fuse) either to the battery, or to one of the fuses in the fuse block that's always powered. Be careful though, I left my laptop plugged in once in my dad's van overnight and it ran the battery dead :-P
  14. A kid at Wyotech had his Jeep darn near burn to the ground in the parking lot, but this was cuz the guy was an idiot and ran his 0 gauge amp wire through the firewall with no grommet, and didnt' put a fuse on it where it went to the battery, insulation wore through at the firewall, shorted out, caught the engine compartment on fire. Inside was basically okay aside from a hole burnt through the dash.
  15. WRONG... Blinking CEL means that a condition exists that will harm the catalytic converter, specifically a lean misfire. Steady means its' something other than that one, and most monitors are what's known as a two-trip fault, meaning that the problem has to occur on two separate "Trips" in order for the CEL to illuminate (But the problem will be stored as a pending code the first time the fault is detected, and if it goes 40 warm up cycles w/o repeating the problem, it's cleared.) OR something close to that, I'd have to dig out my EMS2 book and look at the chart in there, but if your car is a 92 it's OBD1 and not OBD2 so in that case I don't know what the flashing MIL means.
  16. I had a set in my 87 Hatchback, since I was driving my subs off the deck cuz I didnt' have enough $$$ for an amp at the time, I got the 150 Hz ones but I should have gotten like the 75Hz ones, the idea is that it'll take out the low frequencies that those small speakers wont' reproduce anyway, so the speakers won't distort at high volume.
  17. Well I'm a couple of states away and I might know where to find a tranny... Is he sure it's cracked, or is the case just loose? IF the car will move, he can probably get away with JB Welding the crack so the gear oil stays in and then driving it only when necessary until he gets a tranny. Where @ in ND is he at? My fiancee's mom grew up in Rugby, and I have a freind here at school who's from Bismark or at least near there. I THINK I still have my push button 5 speed out of my turbowagon back home but I cant' remember, I swapped to a dual range RX tranny cuz I hated that stupid pushbutton crap, but if I do still have it it's in Oregon at my parents house.. Drove through Burns on my way out to Wyoming last October (If ya saw a white and silver Dodge with a brown gen1 Brat on a U-Haul trailer that was me )
  18. They should be, hook everything back up, put the evaporator back in, replace the receiver/dryer (~$40) for good measure and have the sytem pulled to a vacuum, if it holds vac. fine then ya got no leaks, charge it with one of those R134a retrofit kits and you should be good to go.
  19. Why would he want to loose them, loose tires fall off. (Sorry Glenn, couldn't resist... I gotta pick on ppl who interchange LOOSE (like, if something isn't tight) for LOSE (Like, if you can't find something) lol What's really bad is when your school textbook talks about "loosing all credibility" if you can't "talk the talk" and then goes on to intechange Barracuda and 'Cuda
  20. I kinda like the Eagles, but then again I have an affinity for ugly cars I guess.. But I prefer the two door hatchback eagles to the wagons, but they are basically Jeeps with car bodies, a lot of the off road crap for the older Jeeps will work on 'em. Although I saw a BAD %*%*%$ING A%*%* 4x4 car at the car show at Wyotech: http://community.webshots.com/photo/356462835/356469881WifObD and this one (IT was even turbo!) http://community.webshots.com/photo/356462835/356475043sLNFfj
  21. Use the OBD-2 computer and wiring that is in your car, means you'll have to swap any sensors over that the OBD-1 car doesn't have, but the main differences with OBD1 and OBD2 are in the computer itself so you might not have too much trouble. And I know how slow those 1.8s are, couple that with an AT and it's even slower! Jessica's car barely holds 75 on the freeway, in fact it WON'T hold 75 (Will hold 80 though ) and getting over the Summit between here and Cheyenne JUST PLAIN SUCKS, Semi trucks, diesel rabbits, adn geo metros pass me and sneer! lol
  22. yeah I bid on one of those, got outbid, so I bid on another Subaru model and the same stingy %*%*$ who outbid me on the GSR got the other one too so then I bid on a 360 and the same mother %*%*$ outbid me on it too I was like sheesh buy up all the subaru models why don't ya lol
