Oops my mistake.Where did you get the 2.5rs seats?Did you get them when you were here in colorado?I bet those will look nice.

Ya Billy!!!

Sounds like you have a nice brat there.One set of seats you would probly really like would be some rx seats.They have height adjustment and good side padding.They tend to be a little hard to find though.This would be a direct bolt in as well.

Yep saw that one.It is in good shape.It even has the little locking diff knob still there IIRC.

Pull the plugs and check them.If they have never been replaced then it would be good to start there.Then if that doesn't help I would then move the the plug wires.

So what are you planning on doing with the intake manifold?I am sure it will be wicked.

So what tranny are you going to use Jeff?Rx type with the center lock diff or are you going the D/R route?

Yes McBrat as northwet said.He does a very good job!

Do you mean the throttle cable?Check vacuum hoses for disconnected ones and check the MAF to see if it is connected.Also what were you working on that made you have to disconnect everything?

Could just be a belt.Or the problem may lie in the harmonics of the belt tensioner.

Nice pictures!I really like your car!Also I really love the look of that rx on the track tearing it up!

Yep you nailed it! I would put my money on the accelerator pump diaphram.Especially after all the other crud you already cleaned out of it.

Honestly Jeff do you really need a turbo? Jeff+TurboEA82+LSD= Something crazy and possibly disasterous!

Multi tasking on the trail with the comressors! Gotta love it!

Really nice car Mike!I can't believe I didn't notice this post with the pictures before.I am sure pugs and a lift are eventually in the works? I am glad that you got an spfi engine in there to begin with so you don't need to muck with that later on.

It is most likely a summer rig and you just don't need them till about october.I guess most people don't know that unless you have been there.

That is pretty cool you put the ea81 in that car!I love those little engines.One down side is that at higher altitude they really suffer with lack of power from the carb.I don't think the ea82 n/a would of had much more power.At least you know it is a pretty bulletproof engine.

That is a great picture Mick.What type of adapter is that on top of your carb?(Also the one that goes back to the spare tire area with the filter?)

This is true. I grew up on the Kenai peninsula.There I learned how tough and unstoppable subarus really are.A friend of mine had an early 80's wagon that he used to jump in the ditches along the road. And just run the logging trails full speed.The cops hated us when I was growing up,tearing down the dirt roads and making lots of noise just running a straight pipe exhaust.Just ask anyone from Alaska if the Caribou Hills are at all chalanging?I was able to make a few big trucks mad in a stock suby.

Yes you can definately do it.Also yes you can swap the lights on a ea82 chassis body.I know DrKrazy has a nice set that would be perfect for that.

I agree.I would grab a set of those wheels as well if they were available.

Sounds to me like there may be a pocket of air in the cooling system somehow.Maybe the coolant isn't able to completely make the cycle through and purge out the air,and such making the excess coolant that has no where to go but to the over flow bottle. Just a thought. Another idea is that your radiator cap is failing to hold pressure and making the extra coolant go to the bottle.Good luck.I am anxious to hear what it turns out to be.

i Don't mean to sound stupid but are you talking about a ground wire? BTW-Glad to hear you can hang with the ea82t guys!I always thought it was possible.

I agree with Mick.Shave the heads .050" and port it like mad,and go with the ea71 pistons.

Actually that was one idea I had cause I am going to put a hoodscoop on my hatch also.
