Pity it is not a Sandman.... LOL However to change teh rear doors to like this wouldnt be too hard. Infact you could get the hinges etc from any ealry holden wagon.

The manifolds I have see have all been modified originals whihc then accomodate either inlet pattern.

Cheers

Try this... turn car to ignition position to pressurise the system, then turn off. Grab vice grips and pinch the return fuel line (this will stop the regulator giving the fuel back to the tank. Turn ignition on again and then remove the fuel pump relay once it has primed. then try starting the car. ...

Last time I was at centre road (approx 1 month ago) they had three, where did they all go?

I would try Harveys down hastings way.. :S

Cheers

Here are you suggestions of who actually accomodate us now..... Dragway Performance And that is about it (insert cricket and no other noise here....... :S Cheers PS all of weld/cragar/centreline are geared for the ford chev patterns GRRRR but it does not matter anyway as convo pros are one of the ug...

Sigmoe you are going about it correctly. A press would make it 400% easier but yes burn and cut it your next option. So keep up the good work.

I would also suggest soaking in CRC to assist the movement department.

Cheers

OK bring me up to speed because that does not sound right at all..... 1. Roller rockers or standard rockers? 2. Oil pressure? 3. timing chain tension? 4. exhuast leaks? something definately doesnt sound right. Have you gone through the TPS setup proceedure? Was this a running motor before EFI? Cheers

20B cosmo cough cough..... ;)

Tim did you do anything about your type 7 clone Hey Steve, Nope not yet. A mate of mine and I are considering coming to talk and have a looks see. I think the questions we have will be better off asked in person. Not only that a spacial view point might be needed. So will keep you informed. It will...

I make my own flywheels at home I have a hobby lathe and mill Ive seen pics of your lathe if thats your idea of a hobbey lathe i want to see what you consider a proffessional one LOL :P I was thinking the same thing... EEK, so with this hobby lathe what limitations does cheaterparts now have? Cheers

Yes it is similar in principle to the detroit but heaps more predictable and smoother. A full spool replaces the centre hemisphere, which you then bolt your crown wheel too, a mini spool replaces the spider gears and keeps the hemisphere. But yes the locker will replace the spider gears. Yes it is N...

A bent shaft should show other signs as well....

Cheers

cheaterparts wrote:it would make a good box for sandown I only use 3rd and 4th there

Yep it would Steve. I actually swapped my 4 speed box into the galant each time I went to sandown or winton. The ratios were brillant. Might be something to try... ;)

Cheers

Sonata motor would be a better choice BUT alarm bells are going off as to something about the rotation of the motor being backwards (ie it runs the opposite direction. I need to check some stuff when I get home but it is possible to do the swap.

Next time you have it stick Paddles, stop the car and find a rock or grab a small hammer from the car and tap the carb. I have had the needle hit the side before and this normal dropped the piston down. It might be time for rebuild... :S

Cheers

Low Oil pressure warning light is pretty pointless unless you can set it to a minimum psi, if it comes on at 7000 rpm the engine will be rooted before you notice Amgis_obrut is correct here and something I didnt explain properly. I selected a sender which went on at 40PSI which means at idle it is ...

And Matt......... Starion disc's and calipers should bolt straight on to a scorpion housing, from memory. I have been told the same that they do.....with this many people saying it im sure they will. However the main problem will be the diff centre as always lol.....trying to find a decent setup (i...

I believe Kmac is your friend. Will need to ring them, but I done have their number wiht me right now...

Cheers

Was going to say if standard lexus then the are smaller bore and would need machining. Always recommend condition of sale is trail fit. Only way to go.

Cheers

Matt I would just resubmit your photos to photobucket as teh ones that are stores for the lancer are small thumbnails, no biggie just login deleted them and put up new ones. I can help with the fixing of pix in your thread...

Cheers

The 5x114.3 stud pattern of the Ford is much better for wheel options as it is the same as pretty much all Japanese 5 stud except Subaru (5x100). All the imports these days opens up a massive range of cool wheels. Yes true but the set of these I have sitting in the shed are in Chev pattern.... http...

Correct I know the difference, old school is nice but the offsets are good in HQ, suit what I am doing. Yes is a nice old school look but new school rim.... :D hehehe nto giving much away am I.... ;) Yes HQ is chev which is 4.5"x5 = 120.65mm x 5 commodore is the metric equivalent which holden w...

I would liek to firstly welcome you to the forums, and secondly tell you how much I hate you seeing I now really really want a EX... ARRRGGGGGHHH,,, not sure what to sell to fund the purchase and import.... maybe the P3 Rover needs to go!!


Cheers

Thanks guys, it is slowly coming along, it is always great to get feedback. My goal is still to have it all finished this coming summer. If I want to stretch it I can make summer last until March :lol: I still have the factory dash, just not a fan of wood grain so scored this one of 75wagon. I have...

OK I have experienced this with my cars. The only issues I have are with the older ones like tandanus has stated, I only ran the stuff as a cleaning agent and do only us a BP fuel as a general rule. My concern is not the fuel persae, but the fact that the pumps only need to tell you when it is 10% o...

Option 1: Change to "Green" struts, bolt XF discs on and run sigma calipers with modified XF (I think) pads, gives 33% better area on pad and no master upgrade required. wont work disc will hit control arm caliper wont fit over disc whats the deal with everyone and green struts when it co...

As soon as you weld there will be need for engineering. If you bolt then you will have a reuseble setup and no engineering. I would plate it and then bolt to the plate. Make sure all corners ar shamfered and no sharp edges, stress relieve the holes with rounding edges to help as well. (use rat tail ...

amgis_obrut is 100% right, this is the only way to go when looking at mech gauges. I used to be a guage repairer in my spare time..... LOL (well that dried up) this was a very very common question. I do like both. For different reasons. BUT I always stated this, a guage is only as good as the user. ...
