  1. Hahah thanks guys. I'm so happy with the rims. Looking for a set for the front, just with less dish to clear the struts. Maybe in 6.5". For now, ill put white cars tyres / rims on it to get it going for road worthy me thinks. Car is progressing along quite quickly now it seams.
  2. Ah, such an aggressive looking motor. They don't make em like they use to..
  3. Quite a productive day, actually looking like a car now, ha ha. All wiring issues sorted, and wire(s) put into place in kick panels. Sorting this out, taping it up, soldering etc took the best part of 4 hours. Once they were in, kick panels went on. Then the seats went in, at about 6:00 this evening. Justin sorted out mounting and cleaning the new over flow bottle. Still going to take it off an nappy'san its ass off to make it white spec :hmm: Charcol canister sorted, been painted, mounting next time. Air temp sensor and wiring also.. sorted out :y: Yet to finish plumbing up the emition lines. Going to put in my gear leaver kit bushes next time. mmm, Yeah the only thing holding it up now is the door trims. Rest is just falling into place nicely.

  5. Hahah another one for the club :hmm:
  6. Haha. Well, Yes i suppose the run of relatively good news lately was bound to end sooner or later. Going to need to start to drink to get into the mood to work on it next weekend, Ugh. Things are just going to make me grumpy, very quickly on Saturday ! TO add to that list, the heater tap has started leaking, its been sitting there un-used for that long. Only the other day i decided to operate it. "ugh stiff". And i need to.. replace the ball joint boots, as they have perished. Yup, it really hasn't been moved in a long_time. So, this week i need to organize a new heater tap, steering shroud top plastic, Charcoal canister. & wheels. I can't believe i have not got a photo up with my new air intake pipe - ""JJJJJUSSSSSSSSSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!!!!! upload a pic :D" Its from an Early EFI L300 Miti' Van :y: ! (don't ask how i found it.. ) :hmm:

  9. Easter 2008 Weekend update: Positives - Handbrake cable installed, and adjusted. Handbrake setup is FINALLY ok & working well. - Center console installed - Painted and 1/2 installed seat plastic sides. Lubricated passenger side seat rails Negatives - vehicle security / central locking / dash power has been lost. Nothing works anymore. After i had just installed the core unit into its final position. 2 hours work. - Alarm just goes off when armed - Steering column plastic so old and brittle, when drilled to install security light, spontaneous snapped into 3 pieces. Considering i spent 2 hours die-grinding the key surround out to fit the ign. light in, I'm not happy to say the least - Charcoal canister vent tip snapped off - glue canister i was using blew out at bottom, and covered side of the carpet on passenger floor in sticky glue. FFS. - Started pissing down rain that hard, everything got drenched. Yes, and my seats got soaked. thats about as much as i want to type. I'm just so cheezed off. Nothing wants to go right anymore. Everyone i know continually asks me when its going to be done, and generally i get back "ugh lazy ass bitch why isn't it done yet" crap, then ive got to kindly fill them in as to why its not done. I feel so sorry for justin & his family. they have been so understanding and paitiant; just waiting and not giving me any pressure; considering the car has been in there shed more than ive been in there lives, very generous people. got to 2:38.43 today, and wilst trying to keep my cool, getting pissed on by rain and nothing going right, threw a tanty & called it the most unsuccessful weekend - EVER \Rant. Piece of $|=|!# CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Maintaining the exact running temperature of a motor is one of the most critical things in relation to the motors performance; economy, efficiency & service life. I can't understand why anyone would just throw one out. When the motor is cold, all this cold water just cycling throughout the system and takes how much longer to heat up, not to mention how much longer the cars going to be running at an incorrect temperature resulting in longer time for internal components to reach correct operating temperature - eg. lack of piston expansion would be directly proportional to excessive bore wear, not to mention the rest of the components in the motor. The most wear occurs on a motor (provided its in "good" condition) when its cold. Why on earth would you want to encourage the motor to run colder, or worse uncontrolled to a point all because someones too lazy to fix the cooling system /and or get a thermostat ? :wink:
