Re: Car constantly running hot.

Absolutely most likely a head gasket......if Ur good with the spanners, then replacing the basket is great insurance

Before u do so tho....... double check water pump operation, also check level of water, quality of coolant and any blockages in the radiator

Re: stuck tacho needle on gh scorpion

Never heard of the needle warping like that before.... Only thing I can suggest is change the needle....or change the clear cover (assuming that hasn't warped)

Little black box located on the passenger side inner guard just behind the headlight. Assuming ur arrangement is identical to mine, u should be able to invert the connector in it and operate the other headlight circuit (low beam yes, hi-beam no, or Visa versa)

Welcome aboard

Great looking project starter u have there

Yes, these turboed terrors were quite the dark horse in their day

Some would argue a lil ahead of their time with turbo technology and also safety/luxury equipment

If left in std form, they are a lil fragile in the trans/diff area
