Crap. Sorry man.

Some folks have declared their disdain for the EA82, but I have had 4 with few major issues... that does not mean they did not have niggly little annoying problems, and leaks but I think they are fine, it depends what you do with them... and what you expect them to do

why don't you just use the social club function on this board?

that was a nicely poetic intro, welcome aboard

LMAO you know there's more than one way to read your post there big guy welcome HBH, good group for keeping the older metal alive

well wait a minute, don't crap can it yet, one weak hole isnt worth throwing it away it really sounds like you might have a wire switched if the timing belts are on, double check the cylinder number against the plug wires and direction of rotation I think you're frustrated, let the board help and maybe it can be salvaged, what is the car, more details

90 cents a gallon on the EPA rating

excess fuel or weak spark? check cap and rotor for condition, inspect plug wires for deterioration, change plugs cocoa brown sounds too dark, light tan is better, maybe all 4 are old

Ford Blue is my favorite color, that'll look cool Bill.

cut and weld, my rust is visible so I'm reluctant to try my hand on something like that but hey, your's will never be seen - go for it

need drivers?

oooo those are sharp, and it does totally lend itself to an ej swap

just my jealousy, I'm sure he knows I'm kidding about the first part...

$200? whut? just get some cheapies at Wally Mart and call it good

I guess it depends on whether it is chirping away, announcing it's going bad, or if it has come completely apart and can't be driven at all me, I'd try to drive it - without seeing or hearing it, it's tough to call

I'm starting to not like you... er uhh I mean Oh hey cool, nice find man you know what I'd find in a barn? horse____ and hornets nests...

Schwing. PM sent

or not... the passenger one is cast solid, the driver side had a small circular opening in it that went to nothing for the ventilation we use the rusted holes in the floor, which also lets the exhaust leaks vent to the atmosphere via the cab

that's kind of what I was thinking of, but these vents are flat and from the same styling era so it kind of works (RS photo used without permission from the Primitive Racing website for reference only, please don't sue me)

Yes, I had to cover a big hole in the hood - also missing the rear bumper cover.

Numbchux is probably the guy to ask, he does wire harnesses.

cooling and possibly for air through a Volvo engine oil cooler they are just laying on the hood in the pic, haven't had time to look at the hood structure or where the oil cooler might mount best... i.e. I'd like to protect it under the hood, if I can get some air through it mainly I thought it was funny because of the way they came about, stared at them for hours through that other windshield before it occurred to me that maybe I could have them for a little humorous project

I was driving our beloved Datsun 720 rust bucket at work today when I realized those nifty non functional black louvers (one does go through, but neither accomplishes anything) would look much better on my RX... my boss said no problem, I could have them. After work I popped them off, and laid them on my hood propped up to see what they would look like. I was thinking of those small vents that new Subarii have, but those are $85 a pair and they don't fit a flat hood like ours. So... now I have to make them functional by opening up the faux grill with a dremel and then locating them on my previously butchered hood. I was kind of thinking something near the turbo and maybe doing something crazy with the other side. If I add enough BS scoops it makes me faster, right? Too Nissan-y?

That makes total sense, the filter is so close nearby it would have been easy to lean on the fitting or bump it while you were working. Yes the RS is still together, unfortunately I have 15" studded Hankooks on it so I can't use it until I come up with some summer tires ($$$ issues) I scored an RX, from Moscow, and it has been doing great. In some ways it's in better condition than the RS... not all hammered underneath, no major rust, but it's a little rough in other places. 6 to 1, half dozen to the other
