Eagle_Adam Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Replaced the idler arm And Bump steer spacers yo!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Up next? New front tires(again!) and a fucking alignment!!! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Drum roll please!!!!!!! BAM!!!!!! Jessi's dad funded it and I made it happen for her birthday! S13 KA24DE, "unknown mileage" and pulled "for an SR swap" I also scored an automatic KA trans from Jrock! Jessi wants a nice daily cruser and the KA automatic is a pretty damn good trans so that's what we are doing! I can't wait to use the goon on long road trips :D Jessi wants to build this one on her own since she watched my KA swap happen, so were gunna collect parts and go one step at a time till everything is done and ready to drop in. No real finish date in mind but we have 60% of the swap already . 6 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 wow, bump steer spacers make a pretty big difference!!!! the new tires should be here this week, we will get them mounted then an alingment! that should wrap up the "need to do" list and let me get to work on the "want to do" list!!! WOOT WOOT so after the tires and an alignment, i want to break down the SU's, clean them, install a Z therapy rebuild kit, and tune them again cus i have a much better understanding of how to tune them now! 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Do you guys know how hard it was to ignore all the builds on the way to this out on page 6 !!?? Anyway don't know if you gave much thought to having a color matched rear hatch ,, but i seen this one on the List of Craigs . Kinda pricey for all the doors but maybe they would part with just the hatch of doom. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/4310780477.html If it even is the right color Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Good find! Thanx for the heads up man! The goon got new tires and a mod to allow for a small amount of camber adjustment :) Pics and details later Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Got some SU tuning advice from JustJoel and was able to get he goon dialed in a little better :) And jessi just picked this up with her tax refund so we can really dial in the motor 6 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 ok, could use a hand with this one guys..... back story: i took the carbs apart to clean them only removed the domes pulled the pistons and spring adjusted the needles cleaned everything above and re adjusted the gas mixture a bit after that i ended up with this wonderful little sound that i cant find for the life of me......... its the ticking noise in this vid the sound seems to move.......... it only happens at idle and the first half second of acceleration from a stop to me it sounds like a "rattle" its not a consistent noise, it will stop and start at random and i cant trigger the noise or stop it ive already pulled the valve cover (valves, springs, lash pads and cam all look just as good and when i got them back from the machinist 6k miles ago no oil in the antifreeze and vise verse no antifreeze in the oil the car actually performs better after the tune up than it did before so i pulled the carbs apart again at the suggestion of a friend so heres some pics the the 2nd time around rear carb rear piston and needle front carb front piston and needle the pics are a bit deceiving due to the angle but the needles are not bent and just cus :D 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 are you able to see down the runners to see if anything is sitting on top of a valve? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 not really.... but i do have a buddy stopping by with a digital scope tomorrow so we can look for things in the combustion chamber Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 My first guess would be vacuum related since it does it at idle and the first half sec of acceleration. That's when vac is the strongest. 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well there's nothing in any of the cylinders so I'm gunna tear off the manifolds and reinstall with fresh gaskets Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 With nothing in the cylinders the issue has to be in the carbs and considering it developed after messing with carbs it makes sense Sooooooo... Gaskets come in tomorrow then I can do a clean and regasket Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 That valve cover is great. 2 Quote Link to comment
