I suppose I will try the 4 hi thing to do straight from red lights/stop signs.As there any tip for when you need turn from a stop?Just go easy on the gas?

I dont know if it may be related but the carb is running rough(always has) now it likes to stall when stopping) aslo the factory volt gauge is reading 0 volts which isnt really possible...

I replaced the left front axle in my 84 GL offroad toy.Now it hops when I try to accelerate.Its really bad at lower speeds.At the higher speeds its just more of a bad vibration.I can drive around without pressing the gas and it drives fine,no clicking or binding up,etc but if I want to merge into an intersection..The engine when its doing this sounds like I am flooring it then letting off, repeatedily. Car has 2" suspension lift and 235's.It didnt do the bucking/hopping before Just after I replaced the axle.Axle is a new $60 GCK axle from schucks.

yea but you gave the ticking to ME!!!! my EA81 just developed ticking valves...AHHH!!!

I figured it out.I wasnt sure how to get the window cranks to come off until I found the little pins...

Some time ago someone replaced the driver side doors on my 84 offroad wagon.They had rusted through the bottom edge, and then had aluminum siding riveted to the remaining metal to cover the holes.A buddy gave me a parts car that was pretty straight. So I took the driver side doors off as well as the right front fender because mine was smashed/MIA. The problem is that both doors off the parts car need some work.The driver's door needs the linkages hooked up so the outside handle works,and the rear door needs the glass replaced. How do I pull the trim pieces off of both doors to get to the internals without breaking stuff (doors are manual windows)? Also what is the best way to change the change the glass in the rear doors of a wagon?Thanks in advance,Just wish it wasnt so blooming hot outside..

problem is the 4 carbs would be the cheapest because the parts would be free.Just the set up and tuning would be difficult.Although I suppose because of the intake design a dual carb setup would work better.SPFI would be second cheapest,ej would be the best, but the most expensive. phizinza do you have any pics of the dual carb setup?what carbs etc?

I was almost considering setting up 4 500CC motor cycle carbs on the thing.Then I relealized how much of a pain it would be to set the carbs up... bad things happen when you are in your friends shop with LOTS of misc parts..

but it can also give the option of using the torque of the engine to better get over something.Rather than the low powered approach of dropping the clutch and hoping for best... besides didnt you say some time ago "with the EA81 and a welded diff I needed lots of throttle to get over something,with the EJ I can just about idle up it" or something to that effect.I believe it was shortly after you finished your EJ swap into your red brat? more power doesnt increase breakage by itself, but combine that with more throttle...Or in my case a lack of power,lack of traction+ full throttle+momentum approaches= lots broken parts...

look at your front struts,there should be 2 adjusting nuts at the base of the spring perch.Crank those up and you can get about 1.5" lift in the front. Flip your rear seat forward. Under where the seat would be in the middle is a large plug.Remove that, and you will find a nut below that.Crank that up to lift the rear about 2". make sure to lift the car off the ground when doing the adjustments.

weight is the enemy offroad.

Im down for balls to wall,but my last wheeling trip I broke the left front CV,my radiator fan, and my offroad lights off the top of the car,even though they never got directly hit.

I hate carbs. A weber works fine on the street but I like to climb steep hills and such...

ATs for sand . dont go with mud tires because they will dig to much.

heres a pic of my lifted roo after some mudding. It seems I might have picked up a nail and had a small leak.Thats why the tire is flat.And the mud was hosed off.. http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n45/Uberoo/Subaru%20stuff/?action=view&current=DSCF0024.jpg 1984 Subaru GL 2" lift 235/75/15s stripped interior had roof lights but they got broken off..

my 84 GL is gutless right now. Between the 235's and the messed up craptachi it can barely get out of its way.So it needs more power. I was thinking SPFI conversion or ej22. I put this in the offroad section because it mostly pertains to offroading. How much power will the SPFI conversion help offroad? Will it be very noticable or just a little bit more pep? I know its alot cheaper to go SPFI and that helps because money is almost non existant right now,But I also know that the EJ swap would give more power than I would know what do with. The EJ is much more expensive because I would want to hear the engine run before it was pulled so a cheap parts legacy would be in order. Would it make much sense to convert to SPFI now then 6 months to a year from now convert to ej?Or would I better off just dealing with piss poor power and not so stellar mpg(about 17-20 with out the 235's) until I can save up for the EJ?

need to be in sand only. need to have horsepower to spin um.Dare I say EJ swap.

If the cap is sealed with a bottom vent, wouldnt that create an airbubble at the top of the disty?Even with the car underwater? Remember the upside down glass in water experiment?

so where is that vent hole?

could I run a bead of dielectric grease along the bottom of the cap to help seal it or would that really do anything?

Now I need to go fix that tire, get some dielectric grease and some garden edging...among other things...

cant you just stick a Ea81 in there and pay the smog guy like 20 bucks so he looks the other way?

Is there a way that I can make a snorkel out of the factory airbox on an ea81? Or something that will connect to the carb?On the cheap? Also does anyone have any tips on how to protect the disty from getting wet?
