Re: Tommy's GB Restoration

I do have a resister only i didn't know wtf a ballast resister was until i realised its a condenser basically. Hence why i have the gt40r. The ignition was not left on, the lights were on parkers and that's it. I came home to it on the floor so I can't think of what happened other than faulty coil a...

Re: Tommy's GB Restoration

Went to super cheap auto and they wouldn't refund my dodgy coil so I'm filing a complaint with the accc LOL

Crossed the road to supercheap auto and bought a gt40r, never had a colder coil in my lifetime!

PRAISE THE LORDA :lol:

Re: Tommy's GB Restoration

Bad decision I think. I believe my car does not have a ballast resister. Although It does have what looks...

Re: Tommy's GB Restoration

Update - car was all ready for rego on sunday then the un-thinkable happened. left the lights on over night and not sure exactly how but the coil burst into flames and cooked itself melting plastic all inside the engine bay.

Re: Little sis's GA Galant

4g32 head onto 4g33 bottom end

So as the title states a 1.6l 4g32 cylinder head onto a 1.4 4g33 can it work?
what other heads are interchangeable onto a 1.4 4g33?
any knowledge is greatly appreciated :D

Thanks!
