just thunked about this.... why disc ? reason i ask is debris failure, as in rock/stone either smashing disc, or getting jammed in caliper, as mounting i 90 degrees from usual fitment. would a drum be such a cumbersome thing, as most mid-commercials used drum on back of transmission

amongst a host of other things on the mid-00's Swifts. wife has 06, piece of crap that should have been immediately sold for profit, not driven to 200K with many niggles

all depends were it done it's mileage. a 130K car from open road use is a better buy than 130K stuck in traffic odo is km's travelled, not engine Kms

yes, they supplied mentioned unit

mighty fine collection of corroded components. recommend dissasembly by any means, and persevere with breaking/stripping fasteners until you replace with new (with copper-cote on all disassembly threads. euro import , by chance ? bet there is other corrosion issues looking at the state of exhaust

i guy i know used 'euro' LHD MK2 Escort rack to R+P his Datto 120Y. engine required front-mount rack

he is not under Lovatt Mitsubishi anymore (shit yarn, don't need to bore you) but is now a Honda agent. still has some access to Mitsi parts,, but mainly competition side. only have his cell number, but best to call the workshop.

depends what you hope to acheive as end goal have a yarn to the Mitsi rally lads. Malcom Lovatt in Ashburton, Bruce Herbert in Palmerston North, plenty others mucking with them. looks like they can have an insert fitted easy enough by removing the top nuts, fire some Bilsteins or adjustable konis in there. if going coil-over, modify for something decent, and rebuildable, avoid cheap coil-overs, not worth the hassle of the cert, for how long they last

gotta head up in next few days, to pick up a seemingly rusty Bitsamistsi, and could call on for beer and yarn on way back past

so should i pick up @Toddy415 new project Friday ? it in Bromley, if roads still exist

are you on Air Liquide ownership ?

am on Home D with BOC $180/PA with 1 free refill.......... which is a good thing when one forgets to turn the gas bottle off !!

Lampola !

Jack Hawkswood maybe ? , as he seemed a bit unimpressed with his new car, which is sister-car to McKenzies, i believe

we often had semi-seized pistons in the Falcons, especially the utes . maybe from burnouts or too many heavy loads rooting the prop. valve

even with a constant load ? that's what killing the PSU's.

burning PSU's out, as each heater draws 7-8A, plus have cycle pumps and lighting. 30A will be a decent starting point, may need 2 of them

that's the 24v version of what i will try and keep the smoke in tomorrow

have recently bought 12v 30Amp unit, and very doubtful about its capabilities....... might wire up tomorrow to see if smoke stays in, as need heating in shed capsicums are sulking

solar

often the cat light will iluminate, so the wire needs to be grounded. sell cat to pay for str8pipe

plenty of NZ new Y-series engines, see if you can find carb and manifold had 3Y in YN57 hilux ute, and was as cheap to run as my 5L diesil hilux, and 7AFE corolla i had the crappy emissions nonsense on an early incarnation of 3T silliness, and was a prick for miss/ carb icing, richening/leaning, so fitted NZ new carb manifold... too easy

run length of clear hose between filter and pump . many older nissan filter housing get porous/crack and allow air into fuel

but you will be late everywhere, needs more LD28+T

to fix the CV style 2E corolla, i used factory downdraft manifold and a 4K carb with manual choke. worked a treat, but was tuoch and go to fit the auto-kickdown
