October 14, 201015 yr Author comment_475584 Kick Ass! Sounds good Mick :D UPDATE!! Got the ol 4K running a metric shitload better tonight. Was fiddling around and popped the dizzy cap off. had a look at the points and realised the connection thats on the inside of the insulator was loose as a goose letting it riggle around all over the place. Tightened the little bugger up and it ran like a dream! Just need to adjust the timing a bit as its a little laggy down low. But once it gets up high it goes like shit off a shovel. Maybe the cam's a bit bigger than anyone thought..... :guns: Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_475612 Thats awesome Raven, I'm keen as for that. Good to hear the Wagons all sorted too Ryan, we knew it would be something as small as that ay. Pop around sometime soon cause i wanna check it out again. Well done man. Report
October 14, 201015 yr Author comment_475623 Will do man, tomorrow, 1:30 ish alright? Can't believe it was only that really, tried a known working coil after talking to David earlier about it being a spark problem moreso than fuel. Just stumbled across it really. Report
October 14, 201015 yr comment_475631 I wish I was in Adelaide to see this Rocket in Person! The Photos should be awesome to see when they're posted up. Josh :cool: Report
October 16, 201015 yr Author comment_475936 Went into pedders yesterday and replaced the front wheel bearings, No more squealing :D Put it on the wheel aligner and now it turns corners a shitload better. Connected the swaybar and that also improved things outta sight. Replaced the old points which were burnt out due to the loose connection. Set the dwell, timing and fuel mixture a tad. All i can say is when i took it for a burst up the street, i was a VERY happy rolla driver :yes: Big thanks goes out yet again to Alan. Report
October 18, 201015 yr Author comment_476539 Started on doing the door trims over the last couple nights. Gonna go down and have a look at a paticular marine store to get the same stuff tha bordie used in his 2dr. Report
October 23, 201015 yr Author comment_477644 Atm I'm running a standard Asian carb, whilst it goes great. I'm currently having issues with the mixture screw winding itself out as I'm driving. Anyone had issues with this? If so, how have you fixer'd it? Thinking of getting a stronger spring to go under the head to hold it tighter. Report
October 23, 201015 yr comment_477652 You could try wrapping a little teflon tape plumbers use around it, thats about all i can come up with other than the heavier spring you mentioned Report
October 23, 201015 yr Author comment_477655 Yea, might give that a try! hopefully before the cruise tomorrow. Edited October 23, 201015 yr by SLO-030 Report
October 25, 201015 yr Author comment_478119 Alrighty, So i took the green terror (as its been named at work) for the Hachi Roku 2010 annual cruise on sunday. While the car performed perfectly, i've come up with a list of what will need doing. Front strut brace. Replace struts with the XT130's i have, still need to build them (4kg Coilovers, 86 shocks, RA60 discs, MX62 calipers) Sigma LCA's Install new rear leaves (Got them, just need new bushes) Custom rear swaybar. Wider wheels. Wider Tyre with a lower profile. Really eyeing off some diamond racing wheels again. Report
November 3, 201015 yr Author comment_480020 Hopefully replace the front pads tonight and alternator when i get a chance to get another one. Bearings are FARKED.. Other than that, the green terror is going awesome. Weber back on this weekend too hopefully :P Report
November 6, 201015 yr Author comment_480496 Did the front pads Thursday night, cheers to Mick for supplying the parts. Still gotta put a thermostat in it yet, hopefully tomorrow. Took a friend for a ride in it last night and her reaction was unexpectedly good. Was amazed with how well it went for what it is. I'm happy with that,seeing as she drives a 300hp 347 stroker AU ute. :D Report
