Hey guys, I got a Daihatsu Feroza that I need to sell for financial reasons, I'm not sure if I can post a link but I need as much advertisement as I can get. http://www.carsales....ck&sort=default Car has served me well and it will be very sad to see it go. Details are all in the link Cheers.

Cheers man, emailed him and he sent this back "For outside car,engine bay and boot your looking at around the $600 mark approx." Just if other people are interested in getting it down, will have an exact price after I get it done but it depends on what kinda job has to be done.

Dragways for a kinda ol school look.

did have a reply, but had to delete it

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a downlight transformer just a device that converts AC to DC and changes an input voltage of 240 to 12 volts?

Ok did a circuit in a special simulator with a resistor but the figure looks incorrect, found another regulator that will do it but will wait to see if anyone else has a better idea.

Hey guys, was just looking at pics of my car and have seen the massive amount of work needed to remove what was a crappy attempt at a respray. Anyway my mate who's helping/doing the body work for me says the he's been quoted $600 for a full shell sandblast (or 1200 incl. panels, but it will only be the sheel that I want done), has anyone been quoted cheaper or have any experience in this? Cheers

Here's a layout of the regulator itself, will have to check if other parts are needed but the basic layout is there at the moment. Just read the Data Sheet for this regulator and it states that the input voltage must remain 2.2 volts above the output voltage. You may just get away with a resistor that will drop the voltage to the LED.....will come back with a value.

Ah yeah, a car battery isn't 12volts. It's just over, and when the engine is running the voltage is at 13.8 to 14.4 which is too much for that LED. What you need is a 12V regulator or power supply....something like this would do it: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productResults.asp?keywords=mc78t12&keyform=KEYWORD&SUBMIT.x=0&SUBMIT.y=0

Sounds like you need a resistor to limit the amount of current going through the LED, do you have a link to the ebay page?

Yeah wheel looks good man, I saw a wood grain version of this wheel in some american muscle car recently and thought it would be nice in the rolla. Black looks great as well, will search around for one for my car.

And illegal.

If people are interested in doing this I might be able to make a kit that will just require headlight and power inputs....Australia wide, let me know.

Could even be the solenoid on the carby on it's way out, can you start it if you pump the throttle? When my points were gone on my 35 it cranked but didn't start altogether. Take the top of the distributor off and see if the points are moving, if they're not they need replacing.

Just one cable from the battery to the starter, then a cable from the alternator to the starter:
