  1. My Civic is the same as four stud Ford/Mazda. Rafaga might logically be expected to be the same.
  2. As long as she didn't have the Torrey Canyon and the Amoco Cadiz travelling in company.
  3. Sounds like you are at least making some progress now.
  4. I've got an ADO16 that last ran in the winter of '96. Hasn't been cranked over since '99. Prob should check it.
  5. I say you should stick with the flat deck for maximum usefulness. Also someone was thinking pretty hard when they made that fuel filler extension. It's brilliant. Should be a standard feature.
  6. Can't complain about 24.75 mpg in a thing with all the aerodynamic features of a loaf of bread with the end sawn off crooked. It's not vastly dissimilar to what I'm getting from my petrol Falcon in daily use. If you were nearby I'd find a place to hide that horrible green thing. Might be fun for the children to play with. Five speed column change? Teach them right, right from the start.
  7. Just give it a shot and see if they notice. If it is well done they probably won't.
  8. Would a plumber's croxing tool work the same? It should if you could find a big enough size.
  9. Sure did. Just as well I wasn't driving. Might have got a bit loose on the unsealed bit. (Probably not in someone else's car.) A good day out all the same. Post merge can eat a dick.
  10. My first OS meet. A great day out. Good to meet a few other members irl and put faces to names. Big thanks to @Toddy415 and Mrs Toddy for allowing me to ride along in the wags and to @kiwi808 for shouting me chips and a beer at Riverton.
  11. I sometimes use a brace with a twist bit to drill steel thereby ensuring a slow speed that will not burn out the bit. Did a bit of track laying on a museum railway once too. We drilled the fishplate bolt holes with the same hand tool technology that would have been used in the 19th century. Pretty sure the tools we were using were older than all of us including the retired guy who knew what to do.
  12. My EA wags would be ideal. Even has one different coloured door. Shame it's almost at the other end of the country.
  13. That'd be right. Not meant to resharpen tools nowadays. Bastards expect you to buy new stuff every time something gets blunt.
  14. Why would you even roll with a 25 profile? Might as well just brush a bit of rubberised paint onto the rims.
  15. I'm in for Saturday. Where should I meet you @Toddy415? And what time?
  16. That might work. Will have to check times of other things on for Saturday morning.
  17. That should be just a formality with a fresh cert surely?
  18. My wife and I both have red cars but hers only goes faster when I drive it.
  19. Yep. Won't please the duck shooters. Feather little fucks'll be flying high with visibility for miles.
  20. I hope jumping is a euphemism in that sentence Russell.
