Thats an idea - get pulled up and ask them to pop the hood to check for mod plates

True, true if you just want a quick, simple and nasty alignment. But a better way of doing a wheel alignment is called "simple strings" and you'll be able to correctly align all four wheels because your working from the center line of the car. Or as what this mob calls it Smartstrings which is just the same thing but your paying for the name and branding..... The only time you'll need a gauge of some sort is when you want to check the camber.

Yeah tell me about it.... its either that or the pictures are pretty crap

Hopefully a friend is coming up from sydney for new years. Going out on the town for a while and maybe seeing if we can either pick up or get picked up. I'm not really worried either way just as long as she liked to be shared.......

Doing a search for DIY wheel alignments and finding a forum or two on people that have made their own camber gauges with pictures included and the only way to see the pictures is to join up.

New EFI hose is safe to be used with ethanol, or at least thats what they say... Not really fussed on that Mallory Water separator, looks kinda like a normal filter. Would sooner have one that has a clear section with a drain plug... More like this one Drainable Fuel / Water Separator Kit

You got my prepayment, yes ?

:) Found out from one of the couriers that comes into work today that we've got three new unmarked cop cars tooling round the streets the first one is a HSV Commodore ute the second one is supercharged Commodore and the third one is a fully pimped out Chrysler 300C - deep dark black, dark tinted windows, air bagged and running on 22inch chrome mags.....

You fools <shakes fist>

Wouldn't be legal in a rolla but

h22a was the honda motor

Don't know if its true or not, but i heard the stuff is under lock and key and the driver has to answer a few questions about the car and the fuel before anything.

'94 model Suzuki Vitara v6 The H20A displaces 2.0 L (1998 cc); bore is 78.0 mm (3.1 in) and stroke is 69.7 mm (2.7 in). With a 9.5:1 compression ratio, it produces 100 kW (134 hp) at 6500 rpm and 172 N·m (127 ft·lbf) at 4500 rpm. Or the g16b with the g13b twin cam head

Should also be able to get it a little cheaper Plus get it fitted up

f20c In the quick search i made last night a lexus forum was saying that the honda f20c made about the same power as the 1uz v8 !? Edit - didn't bother with looking it up yet

I once found a length of 4inch (or was it 5inch :D ) diameter truck exhaust at the dump years back, me and a mate attacked it with a hack saw cut some slots into it and bashed the sawn end in till it was a tight fit over the stock tip. Was the craziest mod i ever did to the poor thing till it fell off..... The morale of the story - anything will fit if you have a hacksaw just make sure you weld it on, or at least use a clamp so it doesn't fall off....

If i'm wrong correct me From a quick search i did the F20C spins the "correct" way where as if its a fwd/awd honda the motor spins "backwards".

Easy approval Just hand over your first born The whole "she'll be right, mate" type of attitude Just like Murphy and his law, "she'll be right" will land back in your face Example - My supervisor, who couldn't see the point of spreading the forks back out on the forklift when he had to carry a pallet that was about 4-5meters tall and with a resounding crash over the pallet goes. "The pallet was just overloaded, it was too weak, we'll just load everything back up on to a stronger (read chep) pallet." My remark to that was - wouldn't it be better off on two pallets. "Nar, she'll be right on the one pallet." Got a phone call about an hour later from the courier asking someone to come around cause the pallet had given out....... Yeah, she'll be right, mate......

Me thinks the storm was a little light fingered on the wagon and a bit scummy for not putting it up on bricks lol

Yeah i remember things like that... I'd be able to walk through the doors at the nambour branch "Hey rob hows the seca ?" Now its a case of having to explain the whole life story of what my car is, how old it is, why i different parts on it, can they have a look at the car......

Nar i don't believe the timing or such would be affected. But i'd say if the timings all over the shop i'd reckon the bushes are worn. Either that or pull the cam chain cover off and see how slack the chain is. You could even have a leak in the vacuum line that runs from the carby to the dizzy. See if you can get yourself a vacuum gauge and hook that up and see what the go is http://www.international-auto.com/index.cfm?fa=ad&aid=48

After you do your place you can do mine.... You can also use my implements as well :D

Could be a '83. A part from that i don't really know the '70's much 1 - Whats the ring gear on the flywheel like ? At times that can stop the starter motor from working. The gears could even be meshing wrongly too. What the solenoid like ? Could even try with adding a rely into the starter wiring - ask Medicine_Man how to do it. 2 - The old K motors came with a few different sized dizzys. I think the later versions used a bigger sized one due to the emission blah blahs 3- It sounds like an air leak - loose bolts at a guess. Possibly on the manifold to head. A part from that did you use a new gasket on the carby or just reuse the old one ? Also whats the timing like ? That can have a bearing on engine stalling as well as the fuel mixture screw being too lean. 4 - Have dig through the forum a bit and if you can find anything. www.ke70.com might help a bit as well
