need to add a snorkel, and a splash/skid plate!
Kostamojen replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Off Road
Having that MAF in your intake on your '94 makes it a bit harder to fab a snorkel I would think... You might have to get some 3" tubing and some silcone connectors and try to route it closer to the firewall then have it go up either through a hole in the hood or through the firewall up the side of the window through the cowl area. -
Gonna bump this... Is the VTD in the WRX (4.11) and Baja (4.44) 4EAT's an advantage? How about the new 5EAT's with VTD?

The headliner and rear seats hold up well in these cars if not abused... My rear seat is perfect, as is the headliner. Clean body is hard to find, but I see some nasty rust you will have to deal with Not as bad as mine, but close. Is there rust around the roof rack? -

I had the same problem when I installed new doors on my car a week or so ago... The new front doors had the "higher" side moulding, and one of them didnt even have the moulding... So I just used a chisel and took them all off and bondoed the holes. -

Tourquoise is an aweful color! Besides, they needed painting, and im going for a Yellow/Black/Blue look, perhaps with rally decals and such later on. Although If I end up spending my paint money on the carb (I was going to Maaco it that blue color like on the front, because the spray-painting turned out so crappy) I might just go with a flat black mad max look...

I might have possibly found the exact problem... The idle screw, on the inside of the throttle, theres alot of corrosive wear where the tip comes out into the throttle area. There looks like possibly there is a gap between the needle and that space, which I would think would allow fuel to seep in no matter how the needle is turned. I can try to take a pic...

I dont have a tach (its not installed yet, I just bought it last week) and I wont have acess to any shops since well the car isnt going anywhere other than my backyard anymore until I can get it to at least run close to properly... I just took the Carb off after noticing that the two bolts under the float area were leaking. Theres definatly an issue with the carb, ive eliminated everything else as being a cause (checked vacumes, timing, etc.). I'm contacting Roo builders to see what they say... Ya, I need to go to pick n pull again to look for rear disk brakes and maybe that disty. But I'm not sure I want to spend more money on that til I can get it smoged, because if it wont smog I'm going to have to get rid of it... (I wish it was a 75 or older car or I wouldnt even have to worry about smog...)

Ok, I think I found the problem or at least the result of the problem... I went to check the Idle air/fuel screw, and it was way too far up. So I tighted it down all the way then up to the 1.5 rotations as suggested. I ran the car, and it was still rich, so then I tighted it... And tightented it... until it was TOTALLY tighted, and it still ran rather than stalling out... Its obvious that that screw isnt doing what its supposted to be doing or fuel is getting in there from elsewhere... Suggestions? Ideas?
