  1. put a blanket over those thumpers before you have to buy a new hatch.......as far as ghetto goes.at least you didn't try to super glue it.
  2. i agree with the choke theory.i chased a choke problem for days once.look at it this way,at least your fuel system is good now.
  3. you know i just made brackets ,and bolted it to the tunnel.i also flipped the carrier bearing upside down.that gave me a tad more clearance there as well.i have driven it alot ,even road trips with 70+ on the freeway for long distances....and have had no problems.very little vibration at all.i just centered it in the tunnel with the simple design of the brackets.
  4. back to approach angles.the brat is right at 38 degrees.with the bumper on it right now,i am losing about 10 degrees. 4 inch lift in front with 26 inch tires. when i am done with the new bumper it will be approaching 50 deg.that is without the core support cut out.
  5. K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid.....
  6. i am here to resurect this thread to make the announcement you have all been waiting for.yep you guessed it, i don't have the time and or energy to continue with this one.does anyone want to take on this project?
  7. i got a quote from mattracks last year to make some for my brat........and i am not down for selling my house to make it happen.and by the way an average set of those in our size would be around 14,000 if they already produced them.
  8. maybe if you live near the steel capitol of the world:grin:
  9. Also need a 12mm? it's 14 and ,just go buy one.i made two before i got it right.then i just bought one.
  10. everything you can.why? because if it is good it will find a home.either making you a little or saving your rump roast when you need it most.
  11. i have had a weber on three engines now,and have had no probs at all with any type of overheating.and i destroy motors.
  12. yeah that works, and i only did the grinding on the block.
  13. beautiful,next time get a glasspack.it sounds really good with more throat to it.awesome man.
  14. i was trying to find one for a long time.it seems that if you found one for an older ranger or samurai that it would fit with some adjustment.it is really hard to find something like that used around here that has not been in an accident.so i looked at new prices and just forgot about it.if you can find one for cheap,do it.i was going to make a 2x4 piece of square tubing and mount it up close to the core support and mount it on that.to keep your approach angle good.pretty much just take your bumper off and you will see that you have a few options.if you were to make one,that tubing would be super easy to bend with a cheapo bender.use a hole saw in a drill press to notch the ends that you want to weld an voile'.
  15. i'd say it would be awesome.i was trying to get this guys rx for a while to do the same thing.obviously didn't work out.so i am all for you to do it!just because i wanted to see it done,well.
  16. butter........crisco........man juice(don't laugh,it may be the only thing you have one day)... you name it..something viscuos...
  17. i went from a 4 spd to a 5spd and get a better top end.i am not so wound out going up hills ,get better acceleration.i have 27 inch tires and a weber which help as well.in my 4 spd i found that i was struggling to get to speed on the freeway .with the 5 spd i can accelerate even in 5th.i can maintain about 65 mph going up 6% grades in 4th at about 3500 rpms.huge bonus.
  18. i need to look at a map.you are to close not to do this.i imagine baccaruda and i could both come up.that would be sweet.
  19. ok,ok....i'll stop sneaking over in the night and pouring oil on your block....... oh yeah, i forgot to retighten your oil drain plug when i left last night.might wanna check it.
  20. i had one get stuck and tried everything.now i have a partially split block downstairs that is been an eyesore for a while now.:-\
  21. it is a terrible thing when you have to dig deep to restrain yourself in the event that you and yours could possibly be in danger.what a world.some peoples kids....no respect.hope you scared him enough,if you didn't bubba will:lol:
