  5. here is a 1971 plymouth cricket (hillman avenger) purchased by me on ebay for 69,99 usd. was hopeful to maybe fix....now strictly a parts car. been parked since 1980, it runs awesome, but no chance of repair this is the driver's floorboard (or what used to be)
  6. i was going off of the higher the octane number; the higher the temp and stability the fuel will burn at fuel will flash at a higher temp at 98 octane than at 87. also fuel will burn faster with a lower octane than with a higher rating, hence it's less stable. if the fuel starts to burn too soon, you get preignition, if it burns far too soon and the flame fronts collide, you get detonation. not my ideas, i read this in hot rod magazine about 10 years ago so don't fault me :dance:
  7. there's no way in hell we in the us could get away with a listing like that.....it really doesn't look that bad....
  8. man you guys are so f'n lucky......the best we can do is 91 octane HOWEVER; the lower the octane, the more power the fuel has.......
  9. maybe you've dropped a valve seat? flat lobe on the cam?
  10. hey i'm doing this with my '69 i am using TWO starlet struts because the starlet hatch opens the same distance. starlet hatches are lighter than my corolla(not counting the bog) so i use two i made a plate that comes off the side, bolting under the levelers i havent plated the door yet this should work
  11. it seems like everyone refers to an aussie as "Bruce" oh ya....... american beer is like making love in a canoe........... it's f@$king close to water
  12. how many freakin "Bruce's" are there in australia anyway?
  13. i like the old woman the best....she just looks at him like WTF!!??
  14. it's a plymouth cricket here; hillman avenger elsewhere...i got sick of not bieng able to get parts for it, so it has; a 1981 datsun 210 (sunny?) A14 engine 1982 datsun 210 5 speed 1984 toyota corolla FWD strut inserts 1965 chevy chevell rear shocks 1984 saab 900 turbo sedan springs....(i need a bra to drive it) i used to race scca autocross and it did really well; it would outhandle the vettes, but it was far too underpowered :P i've had this car since i was five!!
  15. 32/36's are so f'n common out here....i bought a brand new one for 300
  16. reminds me of the good ol' days in san diego and los angeles when we would street race. it's a wonder none of the spectators got killed...... :)

  19. my ex was a fiesty redhead....so fiesty in fact, i had to leave her when she stabbed me.... you think i'd leave sunny california for podunk texas for no reason.......
  20. i used KP61 starlet struts on my ke18. i saw the wiki article on putting disc brakes on a drum strut, but i don't see how it's possible. i had to cut and widen my control arms 1 inch to correct the camber
  21. i don't know how the cowl airboxes are on later corollas, but try to connect your intake to the firewall where the air is drawn in for the heater. it's all negative airpressure anyway so it acts as a cowl induction
  22. they're not bad cars; they're kinda like a saab where the engine sits on the transaxle. my buddy jeff has a 4wd wagon (estate?) out in california it's real slowwwwwww(auto)
  23. i'm am currently in booker the engine is in San Diego, ca
  24. ya, i hate those, i've never had one go more than 10,000 mi i always would use one off of an old honda, subaru, or the best were the early rx-7s; those were a vane style pump
