EJ22 - Carburate, or replace ECU?
I tried my best to help out. Sorry about getting it wrong. (Not trying to be passive agressive or sarcastic). Will edit my post. I'd be quite appreciative if you could get a thread just about this going, my ea81 is being a pain and my wiring harness was chopped to bits by the previous owner.

Ea81 Won't start, just pops
Took my brat out today for the first time and when I floored it to do a doughnut and let off. After I let off everything just stopped. When I tried to crank it all that happens is an intermittent pop, which would stop when I hit the gas. Any ideas? I was having problems like this almost the entire time, but it would always start up. Any ideas? Thanks

EA82 rear axle stub bolts stuck!
Holy crap.... Only idea I have is to cut a slot in it, perfectly across, put some sheet metal or a screwdriver in, and twist.

4 inch lift
Do you drop the front subframe?

EJ22 - Carburate, or replace ECU?
81-87 Taurus disty, weber 32/36 carby. Custom work will have to be done. Will only work if you have an older ej22, with the notched cam, check on the rear of the passenger side, there should be a little grommet that you can take off and check. It's gonna be a pita, but that's what I'm gonna do as my wiring harness is in bits from the last owner. I have some answers if you have some questions. I think monstaru might have done this before EDIT: I was quite wrong, see monstarus post below for correct info

4 inch lift
What do I need to do for a 4 inch lift to the steering shaft, shifter, and 4wd selector? Can I just take off my current steering linkage cut it in half and weld in some pipe? I'm doing 4 lift blocks all the way around, and then 4 inch strut spacers as well, with the offset. (I figure that will correct the front struts because if you don't you wouldn't get the lift and your cv axles would be pointing to the sky? Currently have a rather sketchy 2 inch lift in and would like to fix that. For the shifter do I just need to make it longer? and the 4wd selector is the one that's confusing me the most. Thanks

Ea82 head bolt stuck in head
Why not just cut off the head of the bolt, and slide it out the side with no threads..?

Ea82 head bolt stuck in head
Vise grips, pb blaster (maybe, I've never done that so i don't know where it could end up), and yes, throw that bolt out, and re-tap the hole thoroughly. Is the engine out of the car? If not try taking it out and playing with the bolt

Warped pugs?
Good ol 13 inch 4x140s which I'm assuming are what you don't want

Warped pugs?
I hit a curb in my miata, so from the side the rim wasn't a perfect curve, it was flat. Also ruined the lca and tie rod. Any chance you're willing to sell those if you end up buying something else? I only offroad so balancing is no issue

Missing power
Except if the previous owner decided to weld the damn exhaust pipe straight to the engine.

Warped pugs?
Take it to discount tire if you can, they'll be able to sell you. But from my experience, yes a bent rim will drive funny, but it was flattened, not curved

Right rear rumbling, shocks?
Any chance you'd sell them to me? I have completely broken shocks, but can't quite put up full price. Gotta save up for the welding supplies. It's offroad only so a little rumble won't kill me

Interior lighting doesn't work (dash, radio), nor does heater
So the title pretty much says it all, can't get my brat's interior lighting to work besides the dome. Would very much like to have that, what are the main wires for that? Also, my heating doesn't work, but I don't have my ac compressor connected, don't know if that's the problem or not. Anything helps Thanks

Right rear rumbling, shocks?
What kind of upper mounts do those have? the normal ea81/82 "bowtie" like thing?
