Nah, not too hard. Jack under oil pain with board between jack and pan to provide distribution of weight. You have to jack it higher than you think, don't worry too much about the engine hitting the fire wall.

Okay . If you say so, I'll attempt doing it tonight or Tommorow.

I Read some DIY's and it doesn't look to complicated but I just have been waiting for my dad to get a break with work just in case I need help.

Planning on doing it this week if he's home . I feel like I might screw up if I do it alone .

Peter doesn't have a gletscherblau. I think his car is Delphin. It's far too dark to be gletscherblau.


I would probably get your engine mounts done ASAP. I wouldn't drive a car with engine mounts in the state yours are in, unless something has changed. Not being bolted in and being in the wrong mounting holes is not a inconsequential problem like power steering not working.

And also I just asked Peter and he said his car is actually Cirrus .

Took some more pictures with a friend named Peter and his Glacier Blue

Peter doesn't have a gletscherblau. I think his car is Delphin. It's far too dark to be gletscherblau.

I also devised a winter "to-do" list .

- new spring / shock combo
- swaybar bushings
- engine mounts
- shifter bushing and maybe short shifter
- powersteering pump and lines .
- and possibly Mtechnica turbo style wheels with meaty tread

If you gut them or toss them out I could use the "flop"/adjustment cables for the driver's side.

If I decide to toss em I'll sell that part to you

Been driving the car around and everything works well.

But when I Accelerate hard in 3rd gear it gets stuck , and doesn't really accelerate from 3,000 to 4,000rpm . But Above 4,000 it free's up and pulls .

I haven't really experienced this before .
What could the problem be ?

took some rollers .

Big thanks to ST1G for helping me fix some Powersteering issues today! :ST1G:

I drove my eta up to Bogus all the time in bad weather, they don't do as bad as you'd think. The roads are plowed a lot, and almost always clear, especially the highway to McCall. Also, it hardly snows in Boise, and we don't salt the roads, so you can run your STR wheels without worrying.

This is good news , Im going to try and make the trip up there then .

Good call on keeping it. You're in for one hell of a winter though, especially if you're going to try to make it to the slopes in it.

Definitely spend the money for a good cover. Does your top leak? I'd look into top maintenance and anything you can do to keep it healthy. Covering it when you're not driving it will really help. Winter/snow tires will also be a must. If you're strapped for cash, consider a second hand set of winter tires

Thanks , the top doesn't leak , it's brand new .
I will invest money in a good cover and even hope to find a set of bottlecaps for cheap.. I will just have to bug friends to give me rides to the slopes now.
I don't think I'm willing to risk driving her up the mountain.
