  1. I have vid of Lumpycams Brat in the pit. And another well known Brat that got stuck.....twice, with Eric pulling him out :cool: That may cost you tho, depending on what possible bodily harm that might occur from releasing it
  2. Dude, you got to come out from under your rock more often! This was in your backyard This is going to be a hard one to top, next years planning is going to have to start soon. Talk about to many fun things to do at once. I missed a bunch of the mud pit stuff due to the RallyX, But I did get the T-Coupe in there after the Show n' Shine.Dirty T-Coupe
  3. Uh, what everyone else said Seriously tho, this had to be the best one yet. Ken and Eric did a great job and hardly (barely?) had time to have some of their own fun time. But when Ken and Eric finally get to relax at home, they will tell you how they did in the pit and RallyX. It was great to see folks met at WCSS3 again, and meet others from the board. One thing tho, you guys cant be shy about mingling and introducing yourselfs. I didnt get to chat with alot of the guys from down south, wish I could have. Btw, I just got home. Besides me, Mark M was the only one left at the Fairgrounds. When I went down to the local store, one of the guys that helped put the RallyX together was broke down. We spent over an hour there trying to fix his 86 Toyota Celica Alltrac/Turbo. He blew a coolant line to his intercooler and just couldnt fix it in the parking lot. Now if it was a Soob..... But to give him and the car some credit, he won Open Class. I got 5th
  4. Its usually the hub that gets reamed out. It happened on my first Soob - 82 GLF - changed out a axle and was unable to torque it right. I did the same thing that Snowman did, replaced the clutch and still no go. Finally I put it in gear with the wheels blocked and stepped out to see the castle nut spinning DOH!
  5. I could swear I looked under there and didnt see one I might have been more interested in the diff I've been trying to get a sway bar for months
  6. Caleb, it must be an option then. I have looked at several turbo's in the yard and have seen other AT's that dont have them either. Go figure
  7. Well then it just could be the tranny. Maybe thought it was going to nickle and dime them to death, so they got rid of it when it stopped shifting right. I wish I could look at it, but I just cant do it Stupid addiction
  8. Well, its either the engine or tranny thats bad. But considering the engine just had work done on it, who knows?
  9. No rear sway bar with an AT, remember? You have one in your driveway right now :-p Its too far away and not good timing tho. The motor sounds like its a possible core maybe. Is the car wrecked Ed?
  10. Yea, that also. Thanks GD Time for bed :cool:
  11. Hmmm, almost starting to sound like the coil is going on the fritz. Easy swap out, replace with a new one. Try and avoid Accel tho :-\
  12. Hmm, you have been busy. Hope to see you and your car at the show :cool:
  13. Its most likely because there isnt a good seal anymore. Pull out the bulb and look at the socket. Does it have a o-ring? Is it dried up? If so, it needs to be replaced. But I dont have a clue where to get one except from a JY :-\
  14. The bolt patterns on the EA81 and Ea82 are the same. Here's a link to Mudrats prop; EJ adapter plate
  15. White - Top Red - 2nd Yellow - 3rd And I assume the black is the bottom hose. The order is from top down.
  16. Your lucky, a stub is alot easier/faster to change than a tranny. Cant wait to see the car at the show :cool:
  17. You dont work 24hrs a day do you? Show up after work, there will be plenty goings on till the wee hours (well, maybe)
  18. Tex, dont feel to bad. I'm on my 4th motor :-\ And I havent even got it running yet. Its really hard to find a EA82T that doesnt have scored/pitted cyl walls. Even when they run ok, and you know its got a bad HG, they still do a number on the walls. The motor I have partially completed was pitted in 2 cyl's and I honed them as best I could but, I dont trust it. I picked up another EA82T last Fri and I still have to pull the pass side head off to see what the damage is. It ran on 2 cyl before we pulled it, but it ran. The motor I took out of the XT ran better than that and it had 2 real bad cyl's. I guess when your upping the boost, any bad spots in the cyl walls is going to leak, leading to lots of problems. I dont know how thick the walls are, meaning if you decide to bore it out any there might be some issues with that. Re-sleeving is an option, but I dont have any idea what that would run, and that involves a complete rebuild. I hate to say it buddy, but I'm learning from your mistakes
  19. I think some of the RS 3 doors came with sunroofs. I have a pic of one, but I'm at work right now.
  20. Hey Zap, is Sean and the car going to be at the show?
