Old Enkies bad bead
The Dude Abides replied to Major Lazy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ive never heard of a wheel going bad unless it was bent. -
The one i drove was 21 thousand with 45 thousand miles on it. It had the aftermarket exhaust but im not sure what and i believe it had some type of lowering springs in it. Honestly it drove like a sports car, tight fast. The awsome factor was unbelieveable. Dont know if i woudl take it on a long road trip but was a dam fun car. Is it worth the 21 thousand. No i would wait 6 years then buy that car for 15 thousand or less. I didnt beat on it but thats not to say i didnt drive (spirted).

I thought rims with bad beads you could just clean them up with a wire brush or a grinder if there that bad and all would be well again. -
2007 Subaru WRX Sti Manual Now this isnt the picture of the one at the dealership but same car. My wifes car had a noise after the dr run today so i took it to the dealership. One look and they said the front end was messed up again from the accident last winter and they would fix it. There policy is to give you a rental, well all the joe malibus and cobalts were taken so there like do you want another minivan. I said no ill be getting my car latter today so there like just pick one out of the used lot. Soooooo i said i want that one. HeHeHeHe. AND THEY GAVE IT TO ME. I would like to say that i dont think i could buy a car like this, for it would shirly get me killed. The ride home i didnt half to push it hard and i was nervous. I briefly thought about pulling a ken block and see if i could slide her around the corner but my 28year old ism kicked in and so did my insurance company. My wife was mad as hell because she couldnt drive it lol but it was worth it. Sadly i had to return it at 6 today and pick up the stupid minivan but ohh boy it was fun.

I wonder if you flip the top hat on a sedan or wagon you would need to do the same thing. No one has ever mentioned it before.

Early 80s Highway Driving
The Dude Abides replied to jmorton822's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I had terrible wander and the tires never felt quite right, they felt squishy is best term i can describe them. They were old and it seemed like the belts were seperating. Got a set of 4 tires and rims and it improved a ton. I do still have a bit of wander but im assumeing the front end needs work. Needs struts as well. -
SJR EA82 new white wagon 6" build thread 2009
The Dude Abides replied to Scott in Bellingham's topic in Off Road
Im new at some of this but wouldnt if of been easier to change the motor when the car was closer to the ground. I like the way it looks without doing any trimming. -
Heres something else connie and i know it doesnt (fix) the problem but why not just unhook one of your batter terminals after you finish driveing the car. Since you dont drive it that often and it wont drain down while your driveing it or if it sits for a hour or so. Seems stupid but you wont need to recharge your battery so often.

Where i work we have some very harden metals we work with. I have always had problems with carbide drill bits. Even with oil they dont match up. I use cobalt drill bits with cutting oil. Slick and quick, i learned long ago to use that and only that. And i used this stuff daily.
