  1. Talking about cars ....
  2. About the only major difference between the 2t (1.6Lt) and the 3t (1.8Lt) is the crank they both share the same size bores of 85mm 2t - 70mm stroke 3t - 78mm stroke
  3. Well well 200 eh And i don't really have anything to bitch about
  4. Bah it'll buff out
  5. Generally water/methanol injection (about a 50:50 mix) is more of a poor man reasoning for not being able to run an intercooler on a force fed motor. To reduce the intake temperature charge down to a better level which helps with the engine knock from having too high a intake temp blah blah blah. On that note it can be fitted to an atmo engine but its a really pointless waste of time, money and effort Have a hunt around for "dynamic compression ratio" and "static compression ratio". You'll find altering the fuel charge and/or the cam timing will help with the pinging. Unless you have the 98 octane fuel available from either the fuel pump or your pocket.
  6. You could always buy some friends http://buyafriend.org/default.aspx http://usocial.net/ - as read on http://blogs.news.com.au/couriermail/hitec...n_the_internet/
  7. Good stuff :) Make sure you get a few Tack rags before you start painting. They'll pick up any lint, dirt and other general crap that can stuff up a paint job
  8. ^ ^ Just take the button out of the hand brake, pull the spring out, use a door lock button from an old ford or holden etc (the type that uses a "T" shaped button) or mod up something so that when the handbrake is pulled up the button can be pulled out to hold the brake on (aka - spin turn knob/button) But just like what Taz said - its something that can quite easily be overlooked by either the owner or borrower of the car. And yes KE55PIG, i know you've said "Not for a road car" but its also for the one thinking of it for their road car.... Yeah thats right, you. You there scratching your chin thinking "Hmmm, interesting" Another one is if one of the lines blows out or fluid is lost from the brakes, at least you have a cable handbrake for redundancy
  9. try this one Evan it works :) I'm pretty sure they'll be at least a few on here that knows the ins and outs But from what i know of it is that the brake line to the rear of the car is cut and the handbrake is fitted between the cut. And for a road rego'd car its not well liked....
  10. Phucking stock takes. Having to deal with "direct freight".... Ring them up and talk to some lady, "no sorry i'll put you though to pick ups"... on hold for about 5 minutes (doesn't bother me). Get onto pick ups, "no sorry we don't do country pick ups so i'll put you though to who does"... on hold for 10 minutes. Some lady answers "no sorry i don't deal with pick ups".... back to being on hold and then i get cut off..... 4 phone calls, some interesting ring arounds and about 50 minutes later i finely ordered a pick up. Bloody hell i hate phones
  11. How thick's the bar ? And roughly whats the length from the bushes to where it mounts to the diff ?
  12. and then you have as in damn it
  13. Stock - due to the design of the head (hemi style)
  14. When i had the ae82 seca the restraint anchor points were located on the rear panel more or less under the tail gate, between the tail lights and inline where the rear passengers would sit. If you can't find them where Parrot and i've just said have a look up on the ceiling just in front of the hatch - same thing, three anchor points in-line with the passengers. And if you still can't find them - not every single car came with them as factory. But anywhat, as a note just be a little cautious of putting your little one in the middle cause if your using the capsule style the harness will slip down between the split fold seat.
  15. And another one using Commodore calipers with adapter, Magna discs and T18 struts http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=10466 Pity about the photos, but i think the write up is also on the toymods forum (either the new forum or its the old one)

    Coil Pack

    1g-gze coil over plug ? http://www.billzilla.org/4agmods3.htm
  18. Found out today that my drop-kick supervisor lost his license for drink driving (should have lost more then just that, but i wont start my rant on that one). Now as far as i know since he's lost his license he's also lost his fork-lift ticket as well. Management knows that he lost it but their still letting him drive the forks
  19. http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/aus_parcel.asp and plug in some measurements, weights, post codes and go from there...
  20. But why do the weekends and holidays go so fast.... I had planned for mowing some of the front yard and the backyard this weekend. The backyard really needs a good shave.... But oh no the weekends gone before i got to even look at the bloody mower.
  21. How about 80psi ? Or turbo -> intercooler -> turbo -> intercooler -> motor ? You should start reading up on tractor pulling. Some of those monsters are boosting up and over 140psi by boosting one turbo into another one....
  22. Either Castlemaine Rod Shop (http://www.rodshop.com.au) or Dellows (http://www.dellowauto.com.au) for a bellhousing to fit a supra 5 speed But from the brief look on CRS i wouldn't be expecting much change from $600
  23. If the car in question is the ae82, you'll find a few plugs down near where the wiper motor lives. One of the plugs has two connections in it, thats for being able to time(ignition) the motor. From memory it cancels all settings like advance etc and just sets it to the base ignition timing. If its not done you wont be able to correctly set the timing. Apart from that i didn't really think the 4age had a diagnostic port. But then again it has been a fair while since i had one... One good idea - grab yourself a few different service/repair manuals on the car in question.
