Ever Seen A Nardi Steering Wheel Adapter?
carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Well, I managed to snag an EA82 MOMO hub and an EA81 (I think) Nardi hub recently! Now I just need the steering wheels. -
85 Brat Headlight replacements

They'll last three years instead of 10, for example. -

Keep me posted on what you decide Jaysus. -
85 Brat Headlight replacements
carfreak85 replied to Paperscale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Your best bang for the buck would be to create a new, beefier headlamp harness. This will reduce the electrical bottleneck in the system. Also to note, brighter halogen lamps generally do not last as long. Replace in pairs. -
84 GL wagon VS. 85 4WD Turbo RX
carfreak85 replied to Jaysus's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm interested in buying the RX. Do you have photos? What's the mileage on the car? Any rust? -
1985 Turbo Brat Turbocharger upgrades?
carfreak85 replied to cactvs's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
There are no bolt on parts for engine performance on this car, everything will be custom or modified. As GD said above, if you break it, there are very few parts you can substitute. That being said, I have modified my turbo wagon. Also, pics of your BRAT, please. -
Whatever happened to this project?

I'm still waiting to see it mocked up on a stock, quad-beam '83+ GL front end.... Cuz that's how they came, right?

Skishop69, did the OP ever get back to you on those air struts? -
My brat's been stolen, heart is broken

Still no photos... -
GD, I'm going to disagree with you here. I've used this stuff on two cars so far, one of which was my T-wagon 4 or so years ago. I picked up this trick from Dave Coleman, current design engineer at Mazda R&D. If it's good enough for his championship rally cars, it's good enough for our differential outrigger bushings. Now, that said, I'm not suggesting that a new bushing be made from this material, just that a failed bushing could be refreshed by filing the voids with 3M Window Weld.
-
It depends on what you value the car at. Too low and they'll ignore you. I looked into it for my EA81T wagon and they rejected both the model and the value I set it at.
-
Just buy a tube of 3M Window Weld, tape up one side of the factory bushing and fill in the voids in the bushing with the 3M product.

Yeah, I'd say the brushes in the alt probably took a dump.

Link fixed! -
To close the loop on this thread I installed two SOA-reman'd front axles and this appears to have solved our issue.
