I've been looking all over for some info about these things but i can't seem to find anything... a friend of mine got a used set of 'super special' KYB DirtRA gravel shocks off japanparts.com and unfortunately one of the rears is blown. I've seen quite a few sets FS but i can't read japanese so find...

i'm kinda late with this but i'm not on here often... anyways... when i did the rear disc swap onto the 79 brat i compared the front discs with my new (er..) rear discs... as far as i could tell they were the same size... however i didn't take any real measurements... so the offset and stuff might b...

i just got a set of the CB control arms on my 79 brat... perfect fit! i'm very happy with the results... i only got control arms and the brake booster stuff for my conversion... reason being, i'm cheap(excessively so), and have access to xt-6 parts which should serve the same purpose... passenger si...

i am doing an ej22 swap into my 79 and i'm wondering about the same thing... why do you need a return line from the serge tank to the fuel tank? won't the pressure from the serge tank being full stop it from pumping just like a float bowl stops the fuel from coming into the tank? i'm really not sure...

Hey,

i am wondering how you plumbed your serge tank? i would like to have one on the brat but there seem to be a couple ways to do it...

sweet ride... i've always liked your hatch... i have the movie you made saved on my comp!

even though i couldn't afford the whole kit i still got myself a set of his custom control arms... amazing quality and fit... http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o95/Zefy_88/brat/IMGP2468.jpg i know i'm lacking a strut... i couldn't afford the whole crossbread kit, what makes you think i can afford s...

ya the button on the stick is to shift from front wheel drive to 4 wheel drive... i think when he says 'vacuum overdrive' he's talking about the 4wd shifter system... see, when you press that button, it sends an electrical signal to a vacuum acutator that will pull on a cable on the trans, which in ...

that was Ken Block's old rally car from last year... they put something like 300lbs of sand in the trunk to make it fly straight... they blew 2 struts i think... (these are ohlin coilovers i think... so like 20k US for a set or something stupid like that....) that was done for a segment on adrenalin...

haha this thing is UGLY!!! but you gotta wonder just how much time and effort went into this thing to make it so gross... all that airbrushing talent gone to waste... :p attention to detail is crazy! (making it difficult to undo!!!) even the calipers are airbrushed!! yet it has seat covers.......? t...

What goes around comes around !!! Good on ya stinky Jan stinky is going to get a fuel leak now!?!!! :p nah good work! i hate it when people don't stop... or worse, they slow down to look and when they see that you're really F***ed they just keep on driving... sometimes pulling over isn't the best i...

sweet ride! the G-wagon is what we use for our military here... ours aren't very nice but they get the job done! a neat tid bit of info... all the g-wagons come from the factory with armour plating on the bottom to protect from landmines... you should feel safer now... :P and i'm hoping now you're g...

oh man i just found out... i watched the croc hunter so much when i was younger...

at least he went doing something that he loved...

this kit is looking better and better everytime i think about it! will the documentation for the parts, instructions, data, ect ect be available without purchase? i would like to see how much different it will be to swap into a gen 1... and heck maybe there is a difference in LH drive and RH drive p...

a lot of that stuff on that ram engine isn't that important when it comes to a car... don't bother using forged pistons and internals... its not really worth the money unless you plan to wind this thing up to 9k rpm on a regular basis... just go with high CR ea71 pistons... a proven and cheap mod(as...

I'll go against the flow of this thread and tell you to build an EA81!! :D there are TONS of things you can do to an EA81 to give it more performance... although a high performance ea81 probably won't be as good as an ej22... :wink: instead of converting to a weber carb, convert to SPFI off an ea82...

hmmm alright this may take some thinking... now i'm somewhat confused... i know the rear brakes will just bolt right on... the haven't changed the rear brake mounting pattern since my car was made... a little bit of bending and cutting was required to make the RX brakes fit but it all went smoothly....

hey-o all, i'd be interested in getting this kit (not right now though... i'm broke) but i want to make sure it'll fit my car... now i'm not very up to date with my ausie lingo so i'm unsure if this kit will fit my car... i have a 79 brumby which is begging to stop faster... especially since an ej22...

nah thats the thing... i'm pretty sure you can't... i'd like to be able to run different struts too... stiffen it up a bit... and also i am pretty sure i can't run aftermarket brakes and such while using xt6 hubs? anybody know? lol and its great to be here on the 'other' side... i still live in cana...

hey all, i've been looking on the net for some info... i have been trying to figure out a way to convert the gen1 4x140 bolt pattern to the 5-lug so i can run better brakes and rims... i found this... http://members.optusnet.com.au/~kerrtw/index.html who's is it? i'm sure you've all seen this car a ...
