  1. sedan or coupe? how much do you want to spend? how complete? got a few spare shells since race car burnt to the ground
  2. 4x114 or 4x110 ? to suit 10 or 20 i'll take them
  3. the carnival never did head gasgets, the sleeve the piston runs in comes loose and slams the hell out of the head :jamie: the stuff wrong with those cars realy started at the design level then the kia rio, upside down inlet manifold so if you wash it (or get good rain, remember rain?) it filled the cylinders and compression locked the motor worst ever, kia pregio diesel, skip one service, by new motor, bottom end shot N12 pulsar single point efi, yea, that was going to work! haha ea to current 6 cyl falcon, speedo reading 200,000 + how about i order you a new cyl head now save wasting money on the crack testing v6 commodore misses under load, changed your leads in the last 60,000 km? no, theres your problem mitso/L series datto, use oil, factory standard, live with it sunshine personal favorite, mazda mpv v6 rwd with the worlds smallest oil galleries, get slack on the oil changes, they block up, top end starves, cams shear, and to get the motor out you need to strip the car down to a bare shell almost!!
  4. no styling body mods between the 15 and 17 that I'm aware of, just an outright motor swap to upgrade, sounds like the go,
  5. checked here and there but couldnt find an outright answer so throwing the question out to anyone whos tried it before have picked up a good ke15 bp head factory twin carb bla bla... you all know whats on them still has original K motor and would like to leave that in it, matching numbers and all that (this thing WILL be doing targa tazzy) question is, given block heights are the same (?) can i fit the 3K crank etc to existing block to up the cc's, will it fit, or is it like the 4K 5K where its all in the bore if it would fit, will end result be the 10.7 comp ratio I'm chasing with the 3k rev and extra tork (compared to K at least) PS don't ask for pics, this things been stored out in the open for the last 20 + years and looks bloody horrible at the moment

    More Stupid

    better than painting this weekend, took the trail bike out, f@$ked up on a steep rocky hill, managed to not flip it head over onto myself but did manage to bring it down on my leg :jamie: big hole in my shin, lots of meat showing and think i caught the muscle, cos it f@$king hurts to move importantly, can still drive, foot still moves in the mash accelorator way, just no others
  15. tape messure, inside tyre to inside tyre across front end, front of hub, rear of hub, adjust till their about the same distance, go to tyre shop :hmm:
  16. phill, does that mean you'll look at it for a bit then get it towed here so i can get it going for you?? :hmm:
  17. got some motors, lots of bits, let me know what you need to get it running, can probably help you out
  18. and i have 3 70/71 with full trim for parts, you want blue or brown?
  19. you run 12 volt of battery, through relay, to starter motor, the power that used to activate solinoid instead activates relay, it makes sure starter gets good volts, relays arnt that fussy, they can trip as low as 8 volt but on a rolla that usualy means your starter is on the way out, relay probably wont fix anything, but for $3 why not have a go
  20. it turned over, you changed dizzy, now it doesnt, id guess your 180 out, i know it sounds a little simple, but sometimes....
  21. I'm painting without a mask again :D lets see how long till i type stupid or pass out
  22. kiss arse, just cos hes painting your sprinter :D (and maybe some of my cars, i hate over spray) (and getting ripped on the fumes and typing weird shit on here)
