    Replacement hard brake line

    In replacing the hoses on the turbo Rampage, the driver's side front hard line from the prop valve to the hose snapped (the end wouldn't spin and I didn't realize it was just twisting the line). Is...
  2. Removing chrome windhield trim to re-seal windshield (L-body)

    With some heavy rains this last week, I noticed that there was water getting into the cabin of my Rampage and found that it was coming from the top of the windshield. So, I need to take off the...
  3. Stock/recommended alignment specs for Rampage/Scamp

    Right now the alignment on my Rampage would be best classed as 'chaotic wandering', and I'm hoping to get it a bit more tame before driving it 80 miles to get parts tomorrow. I've tried searching to...
  4. Re: Cylinder head interchangeability/advantages primer?

    The cost of the valves themselves wouldn’t likely be the problem, it would be having the cylinder head shop machine the heads.
  5. Re: Cylinder head interchangeability/advantages primer?

    OK, that's a lot of useful info, thanks!

    Sounds like, summarizing a bit, that basically any 86-or-later head will work, but I need to make sure it has the turbo valves when it goes into the...
  6. Cylinder head interchangeability/advantages primer?

    Since my '82 Rampage with its '89 LeBaron 2.5 TII is a GRM Challenge car- and will be remaining so until at least next year's competition- I'm always on the lookout for relatively inexpensive...

    Re: Mitsu waste gate actuator retainer pin

    Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge mike has a 1-piece intake (Engine is out of a LeBaron convertible). :/

    Will try it with moving the PS pump out of the way though- thanks!

    Mitsu waste gate actuator retainer pin

    So, on the 2.5 T1 engine from an '89 LeBaron convertible that was swapped into my Rampage, the pin that keeps the actuator arm end from coming off the wastegate swing-arm is missing- and after...
  9. Re: L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    The exhaust too a LOT more time than I'd hoped it would so I haven't even gotten to start on this- and may not get to this week. It's suppose to be cool and wet this next week, so I may have to...
  10. Re: L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    OK, that's good to know. Still wish I'd had more time to pull parts and that it hadn't been pouring rain.
  11. Re: L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    Ah, OK. I kind of wish I'd been able to grab a non-AC setup from one of the Rampages in the junkyard I was at last weekend since I have no intention of putting the AC back in mine..
  12. Re: L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    I'll probably try and (start) tackling this tomorrow when I have the day off- hopefully I'll be able to knock it out over Friday and Saturday.

    For the foam seals, are you referring to something...
  13. Re: L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    Great. Wish I could confirm 100% that it is the heater core pipe that's the problem without having to pull the whole dash out. I guess the 'upside' to this (of there is any) is that I can take care...
  14. L-Body/Rampage Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    So as nearly as I can tell there's a small crack in one of the pipes on my Rampage's heater core. I've got a new one coming in, but figure I should get started on getting the old one out. Is there...

    Re: Muffler placement in custom turbo exhaust

    That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking at doing, though the pipe I have is 2 1/4". The consensus among the GRMers when I asked there is that I really need at least 2.5" if not 3" for running it...

    Muffler placement in custom turbo exhaust

    For my GRM Challenge turbo-1 swapped Rampage, I'm working on putting together a more 'real' exhaust for it (up until now it's either run with just the downpipe cut just before where the cat would...
  17. Re: Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    The engine and transmission were swapped together from a 1989 LeBaron convertible, so I have no reason to doubt that it's a turbo tranmission (unless that's a designation for something different I...
  18. Re: Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    The radiator has the built-in trans cooler which I think should be sufficient for intermittent drag and autox runs- were I doing something like 24 Hours of LeMons where it would be running non-stop...
  19. Re: Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    Yup, it's perfectly allowed- as long as all of the parts that are on the vehicle at any point are in the budget, and was (in the case of swapping the diff- I hadn't considered swapping the whole...
  20. Re: Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    Oh, of course not... the idea (again, this is in the 'radical/insane' range...) would be the make the AX runs with the normal diff and then swap in the spool for the drags. I really need to get some...
  21. Re: Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    Yeah, since I'm never going to find a LSD camping out in a junkyard that I can pull for less than the bottle of bourbon I was supposed to trade for my race tires this year, an LSD is out.

    I'm...

  23. Upgrades/Improvements to 1989 Turbo LeBaron transmission (auto)

    From the reading I've done, I'm guessing that it has an A413 in it?

    I'm interested in any improvements that can be made to the transmission- especially those that can be done/made at little to no...
  24. Re: Interchangability (size and shape-wise) of '80s car

    Yeah, the Rampage's cluster is pretty worthless. Almost to the point that the appeared to realize it themselves given the bottom-right 'gauge' (which you can almost read clearly in the picture...
  25. Interchangability (size and shape-wise) of '80s car instrument clusters

    My 1982 Rampage has essentially one useful gauge in the cluster (the speedo). While I've managed to shoehorn in tach to give me some more info, I know that some of the higher-performance cars had...
