The JZX forum has a good system.... Shoutbox at the top of the page, which when clicked goes to a completely separate page with online users you can select and chat directly with, or start a group chat window.

Every time I see the words 'Mechanical Fuel Injection' I think Bosch K-Jetronic, I start sweating profusely and my hair falls out. Funny how the Japanese made a simple reliable system, yet the Germans managed to f*ck it up for the better part of a decade. And no, my E21 323i still won't start.

Awesome. Cheers for posting that up.

Shoulda hit me up Gav... I can send a car from here to Brissy for $250, Sydney for $500...

Its called built-in obsolescence, and its exactly what makes our stupid wasteful ego driven lazy consumerist society go round. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence It makes multinational corporations bigger and more powerful than governments. It keeps rich people rich and the corporate shareholders happy, whilst the scum like us remain in perpetual debt because we either need to or have been convinced that we want to own, update or increase the amount of shiny expensive crap in our lives because we're not complete human beings without it. /rant

WGMG Volvo electrical systems... 240 has no blinkers AGAIN and the 740's ignition is rooted. No wait, European car electrical systems... My BMW won't start, something to do with relays. Actually, ALL car electrical systems... Chaser aircon is playing up. In fact, ANYTHING electronic... TV remote is stuffed and this computer is giving me the absolute shits. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I would be checking to see if the thermostat is opening all the way first... May as well just replace it, they're cheap. and easy to swap. Secondly have a look to see if all the f*cking annoying little vacuum/anti pollution hoses are connected to something. If you see a loose hose, attempt to find where it goes. If you can't, just plug it with something and see if that makes a difference. I would wager a tube has fallen off the cold start/idle enrichment system. Also remove the intake from the manifold, visually inspect the throttle butterfly for corrosion around the edges, it may not be forming an adequate seal at idle. Its also possible the intake manifold itself is a little gunked up, spray a bit of carby cleaner in there with the engine at 2000rpm and watch the smokeshow :) 3300 is about right The bonnet is specific to the seca... Hatch and sedan are different. Seats from a csx, sx or RV variant are slightly better, and bolt straight in... Still nothing special though.

Lol @ omg my gutters are overflowing... 80mm in a day pfffft we get that in an hour you pansy :)

I saw this one pootling around once, and only once... And lets not forget Cairns is a relatively small place and I'm on the road a LOT. I jumped the island on a dual carriageway trying to chase after it... But to no avail... :)

You have to run a 20% blend and every third fill straight. Additives are needed for older models.

Pffft good luck finding a genuine one-owner these days

I'd be kickin that shit to the kerb if its week one and she's f*ckin up a man's bacon. Shit ain't cool. She better make a mean sammich, or she be going from humpty to dumpty quicksmart.

Ah yes I'm surprised nobody mentioned that already. When installing your taco dash you WILL need to buy mince and cheese seperately. If your KE70 taco kit already HAS meat and cheese, I highly advise against using it unless you welcome sweet bacterial death from food poisoning, or you are Indonesian. Or a dog. Or both.

^^^ Win

Or a kenworth

Trade in the old clunker for a newer model with less k's? :)

I used to have one of these many moons ago... British racing green with huuuuge 13" minilites :)

Taco Tacho :)

Darwin/Richard Dawkins would be proud.

Sigh... My favourite E7 variant too...

Several AAA batteries, SD card full of weird photos, a DoMoCo mobile phone, some receipts from a parking garage in Osaka, and about 2000 yen in change.

Sadly, I could never imitate the Hoff's white-fro and luxuriant chest rug. However, I'm comparatively huge in Germany and just as embarrassing when drunk.

I'm making a set of these for my Chaser atm... Very time consuming.

Teddys fails at the interwebz

Nope. Gotta be ADR approved. Not that you're likely to be booked unless the police orificer is particularly clued-in, But still... I'd say the black ones would draw more attention to themselves than the normal reflective type.
