How I missed this thread I don’t know. For sure it’s not because I never Kazeemize. In fact the true definition of an Autoist like me is the ability to get home with the vehicle at all cost.

I have many to share once I load my USA hard drive but allow me to just drop this gem.

I removed a bad factory Subaru side draft carburator and replaced it with a Peugeot downdraft carburator. This worked but ended up being too tall and stuck out into the trunk. So I improvised a cover.
legend!

So after years of this practice, I finally picked up a pack of oil drain plug washers. Got it just before the lockdown ish...

One trick I use is to heat up the washer before reusing. I try to use only copper though.

This is a disaster waiting to happen.

One of these two is what you need off you must absolutely be tired of taking the nut off.

Me I prefer to take off the nut, make sure it's a magnetic one.

Once the wise ones, spot this on the floormat, the culprit is clear, no need to run diagnosis. Funny enough, had this recently during this lockdown ish. With limited opening of car parts markets, I just stuck a small bolt there. All good. Will replace later.

Repinning ECU pins due to a change in the ECU from the one built for one continent to the one built for another continent, like is described in this video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY7qNIFwE28

Sorry no video from my end, but that video above and this video below illustrates what I had to do


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuV2JJTcQ4Y

The ECU comes from the factory with certain empty slots, this knowledge is also useful for fixing cases of destroyed ECU wires or wires cut too short by thoughtless techies

Also relevant for engine swaps
