WGMG - When I can't find the droids I'm looking for.

After 3.5 hours of hard work the guys were like "we don't want to burn this now". The next one is going to be stronger and bigger :rolls: :bash: :laff:

This is what happens when our Rovers want a fire and I have too much energy:

Working in manufacturing in the past i'm going to say engineers are so up them self it's not funny, so ignore the past comments and relive painful memories of being an appprentice. Once when i was at work with my dad they tied the toilet door to a boat for a little while....

Ah, yeah same thing happened to me, only $8.25 from sprints.

Don't you guys have pedders down there? Or did you want to do it with blocks and cut springs?

Thought I'd start a new post (cause i'm bored) but while I was an apprentice I was told by a few tradies of what they've got apprentices to do in the past (also what they've done to them). i'll start with "Go to the store and ask for a long weight" "Get some air to put in the engine" "Turn the battery upside down to get that last bit of electricity out"

You might get about a million replies to this. I've never heard of pouring oil down a carby, fuel or start ya bastard yes but not oil, kind of strange to me. My 3k started no problems when i first got it, pump the accelerator a few times before starting, crank apply choke and give it some revs, that's all i did when i first got it. after a rebuild though it's crank and pump the accelerator slightly and apply some choke, mostly in cold weather.

Points gap.

Ah didn't read the quoted post very good.....

Chin, open the dizzy cap and get someone to hit the starter and see if the contacts of the points open and close. If you have trouble i can always drive down and help you, if it comes to that.

is it your points?

It may be the XE falcon

Anytime is good for actually.

4 or 5pm?

That's the first thing to look at if a corolla drives fine but doesn't idle...learnt that the well not hard way but the long way.

You can start a car without that solenoid, just don't let it idle

Not sure myself but with a 5k, you'll need a K50, peddle box, tail shaft depending on the splines, diff is the same, i'm pretty sure their cable clutch so no master cylinder and maybe a cross member. Dash cluster is the same. I think everything on a 4k can be bolted onto a 5k, just the carby will need re-jetting. I'd do the whole lot at the same time, cause i did the G.box in my car and now i want to put a 5k in but can't be stuffed. Other people will ellaborate and correct me.

Converting it to manual is very easy, engine conversion are harder and more expensive apart from a 5k which is a direct bolt on to your original setup. I'm pretty sure people will tell you not to bother with a 4ac and a 4age will cost you a fair bit, bit unsure but over 3 grand on average. Do a 5k conversion with a 5 speed, supercharge it with a sidedraught weber. That to me is the easiest and cheapest way to go....oh and a cam, extractors and exhaust etc. People will have different opinions, it's largely based on how much you actually want to spend like a grand or 5 grand, you know. Just another 2 cents from Jono.

Honestly if someone really wanted to steal an old car it's so easy, pop the bonnet run a positive wire from the battery to the coil, find the starter motor wire and and just short it out to the thick positive cable going to it. And putting power to the idle solenoid thingy. An alarm is the only good idea as the flashing light will warn them that there is an alarm fitted, and then if they do break in the alarm will sound and warn people around. To go just that little bit further you could wire one of these up to the main cable to the starter motor http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DUAL-BATTERY-ISOLAT...rts_Accessories , and just hide it somewhere.

Beule!! How else do you put your thread at the top of a section?

WGMG- Scooters that can't do 60 but still ride up the middle of traffic at a set of light, just to PISS everyone off!

WGMG- F&$KIN people with V6's and V8's who take ages to get up to the speed limit.....SHIIIT!!! here i am in a 30 year old 1.2litre getting agro over this.....BLAHHH!!!! Also WGMG- Steam in offline mode won't let me play games i have on my computer that i have genuinely paid for EVEN though it has an offline mode. Also WGMG- the pain after punching my computer really hard

A corolla guy at pedders says something about commodore camber tops, and someone else on this thread has done the modification to their car. I think Ryan or someone else....
