next one will probably be when I try to install/tune the EJ18 motor into the BRAT.

Yep... EJ18 BRAT.

Mentioned in SCIC, but I'll try to swing by after the Fontana races to lend a hand with the swap. Save me some food.

It's basically a BRAT w/the the EJ18, ECU and related engine control /sensors wired in. Everything else like the starter, the fuel pump and such will be original BRAT wiring. Good thing it's OBD1 so i don't have as much stuff that might trip an engine light.

Mike- gimmie a call when you get through. Start time is around 10:00 so I expect people to be around for a while. I will be starting my clutch job around 8:00 or so. They way I can have it almost ready to mate up by the time people show.

well I don't really do this for a profit, but I guess it would depend on how much the other person helps. The more I have to do, the more I will "charge" I can also take parts or stuff. I can do a junkyard tranny removal by myself in 40 mins. That's with rusty frozen bolts and stuff. Newer EJ stuff should be cake.

It would have to be within the next few weeks. Once the wagon's clutch is done, I am going to start my BRAT build up. So it's gonna sit there for a few months. The engine swap is the easiest part. Adapting an EA82 crossmember to the EA81 body and making the lift blocks, along with doing the 5 lug swap is the going to make it immobile for a while.

I need to take my muffler off and make a small dent in the piping because it's rubbing when the piping heats up and its pissing me off.

Nope. not the diff. Just after the diff, there is a piece of metal that comes down and the 3" piping just barely clears is by a millimeter or 2. When I drive fora while, the metal expands and when I stop or drive over a speed bump or soemthing, it will squeak from the rubbage.
