You dont want to do that. The EA71 is a good motor but it will feel like a dog inside the EA82 car. EA81 would be a bit slower than the EA82 but not nearly as bad as the EA71.

WOOOOHHHOOOOOOO. Awesome. Cant wait to see it at Carlisle (praying that it will be ready for you).

HAHHAHAHAHA this thread is great. Let me check my finals schedule to make sure im not doing anything on the 3rd. That "might" be the last day of finals for me. Ill let you know soon Connie. If im not doing anything im most likely in.

Im hoping i can nab a set of Enkeis before Carlisle. Coming up empty so far .

When we all go out to the waffle house (im assuming we're doing that again right) I will order my very first bowl of grits. You can all be witness to my first bowl.

Should i come wearing a nascar hat blasting country? Or should i just learn how to pull an engine using a tractor (cough John cough).

WOW. One word. Dont. Go to a junkyard. get a transmission for 100 bucks or so. Bring it to a transmission shop and have them go through it. Then install it yourself. Its not that hard...and you save 4700 bucks probably.

LOL true.

hahahaha i was like...wooh john you crashed the buckster? Good mod.

Well it took me long enough but im finally registered.

Didnt Carfreak85 do something with brighter bulbs awhile back. I remember seeing a post about how he got some to fit.

Small list compared to everyone elses. I hope that changes over time. I have met some great people on this board. Backwoodsboy Bucky92 Darlingchip LeakingOil Hocrest Subman90 Moosens 75subie Wagonsonly The Whirlys Andyjo nipper If i forgot anyone im truely sorry.

When doing it make sure to coat that thread cleaner with grease so that any metal shaving stick to it instead of getting dropped into the cylinder.

Is that Idling at 2 grand? Thats way too high. Might want to look into that. Should probably be around 1 grand or a bit less. Not sure what they should be for a xt6.

i actually have a line on a 4wd EA81 sedan that is really badly rotted but has low miles. Im going to see if i can score it cheap. Last time i called the place wouldnt sell it to me cause they didnt think it was safe. Im going to bug them again to look at it to see if thats true or not. All i saw was rotted rockers. I didnt actually crawl underneith That brat is only up to 255 lol. Thats a bit backwards though. I dont think having a brat as a winter beater would be a good idea.

yea im sick of seeing rust. This was the last winter that the sedan will see if i can help it.

Connie im sooo jealous. No longer will my car be one of the best around. Everytime i look under my car i find more rust . This has got to stop. Glad your having fun and have a good trip back. . Coupe looks awesome

yes it will. Coolant hookup is on the back rather than on the front but other than that they line up the same.

The plug wires are fine but i would stay away from aftermarket coils. From my experience and others they do more harm than good. They will fry the stock ingition module (is that it?) thats in the distributor. At least thats what happened to mine.

and its black like the trans am?

HOLY CRAP You bought THAT for 200 dollars. Um shouldnt you be arrested cause u just made out like a bandit. Nice score. Beautiful paint as well.

No prob Cobcob.

The stock sound system leaves alot to be desired. To install a CD player into your Brat doesnt take too much work if you plan ahead a bit. Just know that you wont be able to use any of the factory speaker wires as they were hooked to a common ground. You need to run all new speaker wires to each speaker. Not sure what size speakers you have but someone else will chim in with that. As for the stereo headunit itself, contrary to popular belief, you can fit a modern headunit in the center console. It requires moving the radio down to where the package tray is and moving the package tray up to where the stock radio was. There is also the solution of using a slanted center console. They show up from time to time in the for sale section. Here is a link to my Cardomain page that shows pics of what i did to my 83 GL awhile ago. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/724118/3

opps missed that. Well if he was in america i would have been right.

Hey welcome aboard . Just for future reference any postings about this car should be in the newer generation forum since its a legacy. Your engine is the Ej22T, a bullet proof engine as many on here will attest to.
