If you are going to do control arms, bite the bullet and long-arm it.  No sense throwing money at it more than once...

Got to love hill billies. Sitting the family cottage here in WV where they refuse to install a phone line, there are 9 open wifi routers. A little vpn for security and … Anyway…


Managed to get 200mi on MLC before I left town. she behaved all the way to 75. Still has the shimmy at 50-54 that has always been there. Seems a bit more pronounced with the roller skate wheels. Not sure I shouldn't chase that down and fix it, but it will likely wait till after the holidays.

I'm about to start digging into the electrical issues on MLC. I have a Haynes manual for general service that has some electrical. Is there a better schematic that I can get from someone like Arie?


Next: how much fluid is needed in a diff? Looking to stock my shelf and don't want to under buy.


Finally: any recommendations on oil? I have a rebuilt i4 that has less than 20K on it. I would think SAE30 but not sure if something different for offroading...

That Haynes manual will have diff capacity in it.  I usually fill until it starts running out the fill hole.

Manufacturer probably recommends 5W30 in your crankcase in whatever flavor you like.  Our sport doesn't really require anything different.

I know that guy pretty well and can talk to him if you might be interested.

Mark, what would be a good deal on those? $3k?

Isn't the stock ABR?


5.13s would definitely make MLCs little engine happier off road, but I think it might make highway speed nearly impossible.


And since I couldn't get the ok to even make an offer on that d60 from Cora's I'm pretty sure these will be out of reach for me.

5.13s with 33-35s on the highway would pry be pretty sweet with a 4 banger. Let'er spin!

I bet he wants $4k for them
