Please fit some wider rims to this bad boy? Get you inners fitted in wider outers, please...
Then you can still fit these sexy looking new caps.

yea maby i no iv been slack just had no real cash till last few weeks!
do you think its worth getting sports pak rims? or maby i just get these ones widend?

[colta51]

yea carpet this week!

[davetrees]

Looking good

i just got to get a fuel reg and fit my elec fuel pump

What sort of pump are you running ? If it's an appropriate (ie. low pressure) pump to suit the carbs, then you shouldn't need a regulator (they just reduce flow volume !)

time for tune up and if i'm feeling rich any time soon i might even get it done on a dyno?

If the carbs are jetted correctly for the motor already, a dyno tune isn't expensive (most decent tuning places will do it on a dyno anyway) and will give you a better result than a static tune. The potential cost is in the multiple runs/time required to get the jetting right ...... but it's really the only way to do it !

[75wagon]

Can you do me a favour and take some pix of you boot hinges (how they attach to the boot lid). I'm curious as to whether it has isolators fitted to be used as an antenna? If so you can get rid of your broken antenna and use that instead...

do you think its worth getting sports pak rims? or maby i just get these ones widend?

Get a price for widening them. Aren't sports pack rims only GE Sigma rims?
Or see how you go getting a set of Bathurst Mk1's for it. Like on Guylant's GB

its a low pressure one off a jag not sure wat model? but i hav used it without one be for and it was fine!
yes the carbs hav been jetted to suit by kronny (who i got them off)

yes my boot hinges do hav the thing that the arial goes to. will be doing that!
i was thinking of a new set of superlites but im still not sure? i like that gb looks sweet wiv them wheels!
probley only use my caps for show? i got a pair of number plates of colt72jay same as in the broshores thay will be good for shows to!

[colta51]

these are the plates im talking about-


i wood love a set of these wat do yous think thay wood look like on my lil pig?\

[davetrees]

i was thinking of a new set of superlites but im still not sure?

Go for the Superlites (or some other Minilte copy) if you can ..... definitely needs 70s-era wheels (nothing more modern) !

[colta51]

yea thats wat i thort! i had a set b4 on my old gd hardtop thay lookt sik and improved the car heaps!
its $220 each for 14x6 or $230 each for 13x7 i really want 13x7s but im not sure wat offset?

[Smithy]

these are the plates im talking about-


i wood love a set of these! What do you think thay wood look like on my lil pig?\

Yes I would love a set of these on my lancer.Does anybody know what they are called or who makes them?Are they available in other sizes or just 13" ?They would look great on your galant!

[colta51]

not sure? i found the pik sumwere on the net and fell in love!

[A112H]

Those wheels are HAYASHI R ST and are not cheap, about $500+ per rim. They do look sweet though and would look wild on a GA with some stretched tyres say 15x8's with 195/40's

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10063678

[colta51]

can ANYONE tell me the offset i will need to fit a 13x7 with like a 195/50 or sumthing close?

[A112H]

With out being able to test fit anything I would say +5 to +15 They would look sweet on the Colt

[colta51]

i just got my extractor from rpm and thay sent me the wrong one i need a round port and thay sent squre

[colta51]

i get my loop pile carpet in the afternoon beets the old vinal one
got in contact wiv RPM and thay are fixing up the mistake with the extractor.
called performance wheels and thay told me that thay only make 13x7s in one offset and that it wont fit without flares
so maby sumthing else? having second thorts on were to put my fuel pump too i want it next to the tank but its a prik geting the drill in to mount the bracket! and it has to be ezy acsess to fix it if it breaks!!!

[77galantv6]

my fuel pump is mounted above the rear axle on the passengers side
fairly easy to get to and plenty of room,
i assume that ga/gb 's have the same room that gc/gd 's have

[colta51]

its allmost the same room...
