  1. Are you sure the manifold is straight? 12 degrees, is that all? I though you wound it up till it pinged.
  2. Leading Automotive, leading 4x4 and constant velocity.
  3. You do know you can buy external lift pumps that will supply low pressure though?
  4. ok. Start testing your theories then.
  5. Commodores have to be one of the cheapest reliable family cars around, get more than 500,000k's out of them, new parts are cheap as f@$k and they are comfy. Please for the love of god don't get monaro tail lights and keep the vt boot garnish standard, they stick out like dogs balls, change to a vx boot if you wanna do that.
  6. Yes, it will only supply a certain amount of flow/pressure at 10 volts. Sorry to question your ability but do you have it hooked up properly? Fuel feed > fuel dampener (looks like a reg in some cases but yours may not have one) > fuel rail > fuel reg > fuel return?
  7. You hit them on the top with a hammer and it increases pressure but don't do it. Thought you were using aftermarket pumps. Plenty of external pumps that that lift and supply pressure.
  8. What size are the regulators?
  9. We are an all crash supplier, if you can get them cheaper then sweet :P
  10. Yeah well it worked in it and I am fairly sure it is to this day, AE80 - AE1**
  11. You can use a FWD 'C' series gearbox clutch fork, I had to do this for a mates 86.
  12. Maybe, they are always stuffed especially when you remove them so just buy a new universal one from an auto parts store, the one I might have here still is an aftermarket one.
  13. Brown on brown is the goods. The truck reversed back beside my ute as he was going to load the other side, when he drove forward he turned too sharp and collected the front end between the rear wheel and the wall bumpers (think that's what they are called), ended up having to get the forklift under the truck to get the ute out and gave the guard a heave so I could drive it as the wheel was exposed. Maybe hey man, when you back in town? Would look a lot better if it was more tidy, get them if it is another brown on brown, there are 2 more that I have seen in Ipswich. The whole flat light brown and metallic dark brown is quite nice.
  14. As Luke said, it is just a hot box pipe, on cold starts the intake air is re-routed and taken from this pipe to help with cold running, once the engine gets up to temp the air flap is closed off and is taken from the intake pipe instead.
  15. If you have ever fitted them then you would know what I mean. When installing head bolts you are applying a twisting as well as an upwards motion to the thread, this can damage the threads (like trying to put a bolt into an exhaust on an aluminum head instead of a stud), by installing a stud the breaking force is applied to the stud which is why they are screwed in finger tight.
  16. A truck ran over the front guard at work today, thankfully there isn't much damage and we settled on a very reasonable price so I am looking into getting a new bonnet + guards, fixing the cab dent and getting it resprayed.
  17. Trev

    Maxi

    VF = check connector. VCC = sensor power supply (5 volts), should be for the TPS.
  18. Oops, meant to say 'aren't'
  19. Engine or chassis dyno?
  20. Also the fact that they are a stud you are applying a force to the thread in the block but to the stud itself.
  21. Yeah I was referring to the burble sound, the n/a's are the ones that really benefit (sound wise) from a equal length system.
  22. 22B is the shit. Can't with the turbo motor. Few tips to look after it and help your pocket: Just don't get too carried away on the launches as they are known to break gear boxes fairly easy. If the center diff starts clicking (fairly common) then don't take it to subaru, they take the gearbox out (well they used to anyway) to replace it and this costs a shit load, you can do it in the car and the last one we did was $1600 supplied and fitted. Also if you have the subaru brant keypad installed then don't get out of the car with it running then get in it to take off, it goes into high-jack mode and shuts it off, you just have to re-enter the pin and start it, they also have some issues with self immobilizing. Do you know if the servicing has been upkept with subaru upper engine cleaner? having it driven around by an old lady has probably gummed it up a bit. Other than that it is good to see a pre bugeye wrx in top shape, prefer these over the bugeye as these look better and feel a lot better. Would love one in cool grey with white enkei t2's.
  23. Can do the whole head which is what I am looking at doing.
  24. Braking efficiency of how well your car can pull up, it does the opposite to a g-tech, if I get time then I might throw the one at work in the ute and go for a drive so I can get a vid.
