Re: Engine swap tips please...

Thanks guys, starting to become a bit clearer. According to that info the Starion box is a Wide one. Will it go in the LB/LC tunnel without too much modifying? Cross member/ Tailshaft etc?

Cheers

Re: Engine swap tips please...

Thanks, I assume being injected would have to modify tank etc. The new fitech set ups for 4BBl manifolds have a tank that has a built in high pressure pump, return line etc, i mounts in the bay and is fed by the stock mech pump and lines. That would work I assume ?

Quickest way to change front springs?

What is the quickest way to get the struts clear enough to remove and replace the front coil springs?
looks like the hub un bolts at the bottom and the tower bolts , will that get enough movement to remove the spring cap?

Cheers

This is for the ones on the outerside of the door glass .
Just wondering if anyone has been able to source these or come up with an alternative ? Cannot find a listing anywhere for the part. Looks like a fairly common type of strip ?

Re: G32B questions

Thanks for the info, spoke to the parts shop today and you can get a kit but doesn't have a lot of the diaphragms in it. Wondering if pulling it down is the best bet ? or just trying a replacement unit?
