The reality is, most women care more about the looks of a vehicle than the function.
Based on looks, I wouldn't be impressed with Alan's Rampage either. LOL

Gary, when you say "chattering", what exactly are you describing? The only reason I ask is because it seems the issue of the ASD relay going bonkers and not allowing the car to start or even check codes seems like it's getting more and more prevalent as these cars get older. I'm 99.99% sure that when I encountered it that the issue was caused by the ground on the fuel injector harness. When I would test it with an ohm meter it was fine. But the terminal itself had actually broken and was hanging by a little sliver of metal that clearly could not handle the required ground load. I am speculating as unfortunately I found this a few years AFTER getting rid of the van.(I miss my van), however I swapped EVERY other harness and even jumpered powers and grounds with no success. That was the ONLY defect I ever found.
last time my wife rode in my reliant.... we hit somewhere in the vicinity of 140-145 lol.

They were actually someone elses I was loaned to do some test fitting before ordering a set. They are up in the attic still in the boxes, if I have free time this weekend I'll look.

Well that other K-car is gone, got too tied up to follow up on it.
Shoot.

Was that the one in Maryland we discussed?
Yes. Just tied up with too many things here and was playing phone tag with the guy.

Last major Rampage update- Lubed the sway bar bushings, fixed a coolant leak, fixed a half dozen rattles in the dash, installed a antenna mast, fixed a loose dash bezel, lubed the speedo (to no avail) fixed a half dozen other random items and burned a new cal.
Calibration is actually a very old GLHS cal I did long ago, maybe even for the Reliant. Has all g-head spark curves in it and some minor fueling changes along with 89 wastegate control. Rampage is notably more perky, boost now peaking at 7-8 psi. Some knock in the upper rpm ranges. Not surprised considering the 87 I dumped in the tank and the remains of 4+ year old stuff that is in there.

What kind of Pistons?

Not yet today- On my day off got rid of some rotted logs, cleaned the yard, made a enclosure for firewood, got the snowblower out, got the motorcycle out, bled the clutch master and pulled some logic modules from storage to make sure I have a spare or two for Faiths Rampage.
Getting ready to go on a motorcycle ride since the weather is moderate today.

4" back space.
I would... take care if ordering rims and test fit. I was thinking about tipping the struts inward and can't recall if these were ordered with that plan in mind.
thanks Gary, but I was asking about the Weld magnum rims not the bogart rims. Sorry to be a pain.

I think they were on loan for test fitting from Brian Slowe, might want to drop him a note. I did use the data to order the Bogarts to match the rears I already owned.
Fun fact- After being up on the rack for several years I slapped the Reliants new M&H slicks (that were to be used with the new Bogarts) on the Duster.
