Power wire from the alt
Mykeys Toy replied to Mykeys Toy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thank you! That wasn't the answer I was hoping for.. -
Just wondering if anyone knows if it goes directly to the battery or does it go to the fusable link box first?

Beautiful Brat!

Headlight trouble, '85 Brat
Mykeys Toy replied to jonas's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Re-check your wiring to the hella's. Your ground is on the wrong pin if it is an H4 conversion. If not make sure it is a 4656 bulb and not one of the many other versions that fit the 4x6 buckets. I think the is a diagram on the danielstern website. -
OK so I finally crawled around to look for adjustment on the 2wd rear.. NONE. NADA, Zilch. The only way you are going to adjust the rear is by a reclock of the torsion bars.
-
How did you do the four lug conversion? And the rear should be a torsion bar and may have an adjustment bolt accessable under the rear seat. I am not sure I will take a look and get back to you.. Might be a day or so.

some on here have cut a coil or two out of the springs. I have contacted Eibach and they can make custom springs for around $300 stiffer and lower if you want. I didn't ask if I could get them progressive rate though which would be nice if just cruising and stiffen when trying to be aggressive.

Clocking torsion bars (Gen 2)

Any progress? -
Brakes bleeding only half system.
Mykeys Toy replied to Mustakrakesh's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If it is bone dry. Start tracing the line for that part of the car..right front and left rear are ( for lack of better terminology ) on the same circuit. Look for pin holes and check all connections to make sure they are tight..Double check the soft lines..It may still be the master or could be an issue with HH if so equipped. I do not think so though. year and type of car may get you a better response from others that know more. Mike -
'87 GL aftermarket deck install problems
Mykeys Toy replied to BoxerRebellion's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It is more work but with a newer deck ( non-common ground) run fresh 14AWG wire to each speaker. and replace your speakers. It is much easier to do in a gen3 than my gen2. Or use what you have till you can afford better speakers.- 6 replies

oil leaks are common. Usually they are small leaks from valve covers,oil pump or clogged emissions crud. A weber is a viable option for the carb as tuneability is better mileage is about the same and is cheaper than a reman. I would check compression though just to rule out carb issues with needing that much throttle to floor it to get it moving. IMO

UEL dual port headers now available

Going back on topic for a thought. I really dislike my barb being louder than my exhaust so... how difficult would it be to make a bolt on remote air cleaner for a weber that will clear an unlifted car. Idasho has a point in his build thread about not liking the gurgling of the weber and without a lift going his route is not viable. The thought was basically modify the top and bottom plate that the weber air filter sits in to make it a two piece bolt together set up and 2.5" tube/ port on the passenger side maybe two smaller tubes into a collector?..It would need to be roughly that size to use off the shelf cold air intake parts. The air box or whatever I can work out. doesn't have to be fancy just workable. Mike

Mykeys Toy replied to 92_rugby_subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Looks like it was a blast! can't wait to get back to my project car instead of the rest of them. -
Looking good.. THough I haven't watch any of the vids yet..there are a lot and I dont check out all the build threads.

That is pretty bad@$$. Too bad about the redrill issues though the wheels really set it off.

Mykeys Toy replied to NorthWet's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
I need not give my opinion you fellas are clearly beyond me.. I love the idea. Keeping it under $100 would be cool but If you can make it do half of what you want and more later I would pay twice that without a qualm. Subaru especially older ones are so left out it isn't funny there is support fro darn near everything else why not us.. It has to start somewhere. Mike -
I wish I could help.. I am a barely functioning back yard mech. I do feel your pain. There are only a handful of people on here that have done anything with the trannies.. GD if he is still on.. I haven't seen him in a while and Idasho I am sure there are more, these are the only two that come to mind now.. Wallaby is right these questions would be more readily answered in the old gen forum. Not everyone checks the build threads.. I do but I like like some of the creative ways you builders get stuff done. Mike
