RV

you mentioned "hitting the bottom of the wheel bending strut?) etc. the answer is yes. why? lever action. think about it, if you hit a strut with the force of say.......a subaru doing 10+ mph youd bend it. my experience with bent stuff/body shops has taught me that bent stuff looks right until straight stuff is presented.

i had a similar situation at a shop my dad had worked at all through me growing up. it was great to work with my dad every day. turns out my little brother and the "boss'" son went to school together and didnt get along. when this little punk got a summer "job" cleaning the grounds he made it a point to mess with my stereo, tools etc. i got let go a week after telling the kid not to touch my effin stuff. the guy wouldnt talk to me either, so when i came back to get my check/tools later it was a smoke show to be remembered. moral of the story: let karma handle it, its better that way. good luck man, RV

How do i compress the brake piston?
Subruise replied to Logan K's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
im pretty sure the piston is the screw in type. remove the lid from your brake booster (DONT HIT THE BRAKES AFTER DOING THIS), remove caliper as necessary to get to the piston. use needle nose pliers or something of the like to screw in the piston. righty tighty, lefty loosey RV -
i had to disconnect and remove my front swaybar. disconnect control arm, and strut top mounts. step on the hub to lower the strut enough to get your liftblocks in from the top. make sure you know which one is the front. also make sure your liftblocks bring the strut tops in toward the center of the car (camber). on a 2" lift you shouldnt need to drop the x-member RV

true, the title says V8 but the thread quickly became about what motor to swap into OP's XT as soon as the viability of the idea became apparent RV

Hatch Patrol annual XMas tree run
Subruise replied to Qman's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
BUMMER ALERT.... we cannot come til next year. this is due in part to a HG problem and the fact that my lil brother is going to basic on monday and I wont see him for quite some time, give those trees hell guys (and gals) RV -
its shaped like a loyale wheel but only the center is padded.
-
i ran into a 86 dl sedan that had a steering wheel (stock) that i hadnt seen before, kinda like a loyale's but it wasnt completely covered in vinyl. it had the horn buttons on the metal "spokes" if you catch my drift. RV
-
wow.....thats a lot of homework done, bravo. maybe a coroplast hatch then.....
-
your biggest gain would be to remove the hatch and replace with clear plastic, those things weigh alot. ive also heard you get better mileage with an ej swap, yes even with higher displacement. a motor that works less burns less RV

a v8, let alone a ls1 has no place in a RU. nless of course the owner wants one in it, in which case go on!! RV

LIFTED 4WD CADDY:headbang: RV
-
welcome to the board. everything you need to know you will find here. make friends with the search function for technical stuff. i have a 91 loyale too, its 4wd, lifted 2". good score on the free subie, cant get better than that (maybe two free subies). the door lock light is on to tell you that the doors arent locked. if your loyale is like mine and has power locks an you lock them.... the light will turn off. please post pics of the free car!! RV

i had a 91 festiva that killed a bronco in a similar fashion, car wasnt in that great of shape to begin with. they gave me 850 for it. i know its not a 83 gl but they're worth about the same ish RV
