  1. Thats because the thread is 1 1/2yrs old
  2. The location of the temp sensor is the same as original. It was T'd into the heater hose. I had to add my own fittings to make the new sensor work.
  3. Lets see..... for 6mo you pay $1188, $2376 for 12mo. Doesnt sound that good to me
  4. Can you put some decent wheels/tires on it?
  5. Turbone

    12" wheels?

    10in and 12in are ATV wheels. Not quite recommended for offroading. Sweet82 has experience with them I believe.
  6. You newer folks need to pay attention to the dates on the posts that you find when searching. This has been happening alot in the last month as new members join. Its great you are learning to use the Search function, but I think anything over 6 months is
  7. It probably had those cracks before I had the car. I think with new headgaskets the engine would have been fine. But thats just my .02.
  8. Adam, Richie has the twin of yours. At least I think he still does. He brought it to WCSS3 at Thurston Co ORV Park.
  9. I had a conversation with the owner not long after WCSS6. He said it was a PITA to offroad because of the long hood. He couldnt see anything in front of him
  10. Money. Sometimes, if you have something to sell on the board, you can use the proceeds to donate to the Board.
  11. I've had a couple of Turbo Coupes (And Wagons) There seems to be more of the Turbo Coupes west of the Rockies. But the convertable conversions were nationwide, altho not that many were done. I have seen 3 in the PNW in the last 4yrs.
  12. My problrm also. Now that I'm the only driver, I can only bring one car But maybe my RX will be running "better" by then too. And the last show there, we had RALLYX Hope I can do better than 4th in Open Class this time
  13. Sometimes its easier to pull the cam case off first when removing the heads. Some of the headbolts are a PITA to get a socket on.
  14. I think there is 2 sensors for temp. One is for the ECU and the other is for the gauge. On the EA81T Coupe I had there was a tee in the heater hose for the gauge sensor, the one on the therm housing was for the ECU. I'm pretty sure this was part of the Dealer setup.
  15. That would have to be Rieter pit, Evans Crk is too pristine:cool:
  16. What car is it? If its a EA82 you might have displaced the rubber o-ring between the head and cam case. This will cause the HLA's to not pump up from lack of oil and tick. How many miles on the engine? Anything over 100K and a oil pump reseal is a good idea. Btw, oil pressure usually ranges from 0 @ idle up to 75+/- at higher RPM's.
  17. Turbo engines are a closed system. When you take the cap off it causes a big vac leak and dies.
  18. The return line isnt under much pressure, it basicly drains into the crankcase. But the location makes it real difficult to get to. If you have time, taking the turbo off is the bast way to get to it. Otherwise your going to be getting your arm real greasy. And make sure there arent any little kids around to hear you.
  19. Those are water lines. The supply comes from the head and the return goes into the intake manifold. This was a dealer installed recall and not all EA81T's got them because it was up to the owner to bring it in. I dont have anything to go by now to take pics of the actuall fittings, but maybe someone here does.
  20. Dave, dont blow that thing up before I get a ride:brow: I may just have to make a special trip over to your place to check it out
