The Dude Abides

That thing would scream with an ej motor. But for the sake of all less complication. A subaru ea81 would be good for something that light as well. And no computer mess to mess with.

no i recently put on rear disc brakes so i had all that mess apart. Its not squeeking though or rattling. Ill get it tightened on more and yet you know if that was the problem. Its not a constant squeek or rattle i should say. Just sounds like something is loose. Yea it definately doesnt have 150 lbs or torque to it.

My newly brakes are working good but i noticed some squeeking and popping on one of the sides. I can wiggle the wheel around alittle. When i pop off the wheel the castle nut is on but i can wiggle it back and forth. Seems the cotter pin is holding it onto the hub mostly. How tight does this need to be

I havent taken the time to really look at my delema. I think i will consult my mechanic buddy at work to help me asses the situation. Get a good light on there and see how bad it is. Any one know where i can get another exhaust stud. I suppose when i look things over ill be better prepaired. Ben

Im sorry GD. You seemed very passionate about your job and the product you worked on so im sorry. Any chance for a callback.

WOW mick its like you were there or something. Yep i was careful i knew that dam aluminum would strip easy. They came out sooooo easy it wasnt even funny. Got everything lined up nice and easy. I get in 3 bolts but the 4th one wont go back in. I check i try i try i check nothing. I check and the thread got alittle messed up on the bolt so i chase them with a nut. Everything looks good, i try agai and this time it threads. As im tightening it up i realize there is no end to the tightening. I know what this means and shout out a barage swears im sure the neighbors didnt appreciate. The ONLY good news out of this is that its no louder then it was with bad old gaskets. Now my question is to my local suby bretheran. Ive got the drill and tap set but i dont know how much to do to it. Seems like it doesnt take much to ruin them. Any Advise.

Oh no i got it apart.

Ok so in an atempt to be cool and work on my car today i decided to change out my exhaust manifold gaskets. Ill let you guys take it from here.

Whats the difference from putting it through the brake booster or the pcv valve.

Im sure everyones got them but i thought i would rant. Man i cant seem to get things done on my car. Re-check the front end and the rear, finish up the body. Plus my wifes van needs some love and this new wagon maybe comming in needs some attention. On top of endless things around the house its just to much. I dont see how some of you other fellas and ladies on here keep your fleet running while holding down a full time job and family.

If we could avoid the weekend of october 10th that would be great. ACDC concert.

Probally timeing belt. Happens alot, when you replace it get the kit with the tensioners as well.

Good, ive got some crap to bring over.

My name is richard cunningham............. and this is my wife Oprah.

To bad you guys have emissions up there tom, they let us get away with murder down here with that stuff. Yea my midpipe is rattling but i think ill replace it with either a straight pipe or a cherry bomb. As long as it doesnt get to much louder i dont mind. The really bad part is i think my cat is rattling also. I wont know until this weekend. I need to check my rear diff for fluid, check the passenger side rear wheel (has play) and the cat or resoner for noise. Might be getting a new wagon soon but shhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont tell.

Tom, if you want to get to iowa and meet the midwest boys. Nows your chance. I would offer you a place to stay with me but with 5 of us here its a tight fit.

I would be up for october. On a saturday or sunday. What would the activities be.

What did you replace it with.

4 adapters?

one eye.

Good, ive got the you know what to give you as well. Heheheheheeh. P.S. How many did you come up with.

Can a resoner rattle like a cat. Im not old but at 29 years old sometimes i dont want to hear the horroble rattling my car made when it had no muffler.

Problem solved. I didnt have a couple tabs pushed in on the new door panels. Fits perfectly flush now. Now if only someone has a good set of 4 door trim pieces then i would be happy.

LOL find the pug lugs yet mick:)

Did you half to sell your pugs, ive got a set of 14inch up for sale.
