very true dave, i had a 2 sets go through my old corolla rally car, one set got about 50k's and the other about 15k's

i have found Koni's to be much better.

MATT

go a weld in cage. you can get a basic 6 point cage for around $1500 and all you have to do is paint it. there is a guy who spent the same money then spent hours trying to fit it. as for mr trees post about poor welding have a pic of a home made cage and the poor weld job done on it a pillar http://...

Had took 3 days to get the Spark plugs out!

Normal sockets will not fit

i have found this same problem with mine, the old motor was no worries but the import one has some stupid bit in the casting that stick out to far........so i grinded down an old plug socket and all is good now.

MATT

on the RX-7 front. i had to move mine so i could mow the grass that was coming out from under it.......it no start, put fuel in it, no start. notice no fuel is getting into the carbie but the acel pump is leaking, fixed the acell pump, it no start, clean out the bit where the acell pump inserts fuel...

Its not looking very good for Anyone that has fitted a Pod filter

you just need to plumb the crank case vent to it and any other hoses that went to the std air cleaner. problem solved

and how do you have a modified carbie, throttle body and engine management system????

MATT

at that stage it was a old 1600cc motor with a 32/36 weber. smoke started to blow out the back a few months later.....but i have no pic's of that sorry.

MATT

not built to be a drift car but my old LC Lancer drifted nicely when asked i have a vid but it is more the RALLY driver within than a drift.......note the lack of power from the stock motor just as it goes behind the tree http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa221/MATNES/SDMA%20hillclimbs/th_25922bac....

and the 900 also fits 1967-70 colts

MATT

MATT

MATT

just remember it was the so called "Minister" who made the new laws, the RTA are really pissed. as i have read in many places this will effect most if not all farmers, the SES, the bush fire fighters( who have modded 4WD's to carry the extra weight), ambo's, telstra, state rail, etc etc et...

thats what gives me the shits.....it was re sleeved 2 years ago. the clutch is fine, it was done at the same time. i have aprox 2 and a half colts + a heap of brake and clutch parts( they just need to be reco'd). there are lots of parts that are interchangeable between the early models and there are...
