Hmmm I'm going but can't decide AW11 or 924

eeeny meenee  mineee mo

catch a Holden owner by the toe when he dies let him go

eeeny meeenee mineee mo

Hmmm Aw wins

Scooters are a bit like fat girls. "Fun to ride till your mates see you getting off one"

Here's a free project - fast too

Driving the MPV is a bit like having sex with a fat chick....... Fun to ride till ya mates see ya getting out of one........

Still might be a good idea to give it a run

Hmm what do I bring Aw11 ,Sw20, Porsche 924',VW. Golf,VW passat,Mazda MPV

I'll have to check what's got the most gas in

Damn I hate having to choose

I told my kids when Mr Whippy came down the road with the music playing it meant he had run out of ice cream.

Was like 5 years before they worked out the truth.........

From memory the Starter solenoid is on the other side of the starter motor on a Left Hook also on the ones with ADR stuff on . I remember that from when I worked at Mazda NZ.

If you are talking about the reverse switch on  a gearbox use a magnetic reed switch  they are fairly small  or move it so the lever  position makes it work

Easy peasy

I got one for my Mother in Law -shit it was a fair swap.!!!!

I have 3 of these for the race team I run. 1x De Walt and 1 Ryobi and 1x Chinese special. But Look at this site

www.loventools.com

Guys are in Mt Wellington and have new and used and some real bargains for all power tools

They even have pink ones if you want to get "er indoors" one for a special occasion. Their rebuilt ones and their  99.00

sales are really good

Thanks so much and yeah if you could drain the pool I'd appreciate it. I have only seen it in pictures so I hope it's not too bad.

Thanks Shane

You are a legend. Alex will be calling you today to arrange to drop off the car

Bloody Lazy Ginga Doesn't he know wearing PJS to work  is gross. Only for Big Barge ass westie chicks and  weirdos.

Also likes to whip out his dick apparently at any opportunity. The guys not denying the charges just saying nothing.

I reckon good riddance

I have bought a VW Golf  Cabriolet down in Nelson and for various reasons havnt been able to pick it up yet. I am coming down on the 15th to get it . However the guy where the car is is moving this weekend so I need some place to put it for a couple of weeks. It drives and starts so its no pig but if you can help me out by lending me a space I can cross your palm with silver or liquor whatever.

Hoping someone  can help me out

PM me or txt on 021574897

Hi marine batteries are deep cycle batteries.They are designed with a different chemistry so they can sit without being used and maintain the float voltage.They are designed for deep discharge and under normal circumstances can handle a deeper depth of discharge. I have seen them with a DOD to 30%

Normally they are VRLA ,valve regulated lead acid and they have a valve in them that allows the gas to recombine and thus add to the life of the battery.This also means you don't get "gassing" during the charging process.

Normally they have sintered plates and maintain a higher specific gravity in the electrolyte than conventional lead acid.

Hope this helps

Inferior diodes often found in cheaper range of mig welders are prone to failure. Once one blows the rest will follow rapidly. Why? Because the type of diodes fitted in the bridge rectifier are linked together so that the sum of all of the diodes covers the amps and voltage generated by welding with the machine. These press fit diodes are the same as used in vehicle alternators.

Obviously installing these enables the welders to be sold at the lower end of the market and for a while they hold out but inevitably fail.

The diodes are installed in a heat sink made from aluminium. and install new Standard Recovery Vishay 70 amp 1600 volt diodes that collectively exceed the workload of these welders and provide a more robust machine with the ability to work at the lower end of the welding scale as well as the higher end with ease.

You can use normal diodes and make a discrete bridge but check the current rating of the diodes carefully . The bus capacitors in the welder are normally what causes diodes to fail.once one fails then they will all go. Use standard recovery diodes about 70 amps and around1600 volts. That's because of the inrush current.

Use a good heat sink and make sure you remain within the ambient temperature range . They are the same type of diodes as used in automotive alternators

Good lucj

Hey guys

BK have $2 whoppers today till 4pm.Thanks Joseph Parker

cheers

MArque Magnetics in Henderson would be worth a go . Ive had them make inductors for me before  and also try HFA electronics

 Denis there is a really good guy   his number is 09 8107163 . Hes at TAupaki

For more details just ask uncle google

I'm Mike live in Auckland and currently have an 86 Aw11 MR2 Supercharged,a 92 SW20 MR2 ,a 1981

Porsche 924 which I have been rebuilding.1992 Mazda MPV and a BMW e32 750i. I daily a VW Passat

Synchro.I run a 2 car race team that is contracted to speedway we have a 1995 Honda and a space framed mustang .i don't race anymore but have contract drivers now

love cars and beleive when they started designing them with computers they lost their souls.Guys like Guigario ,Pininfarina ,Harm Largay, are the gods of motoring..

I have owned 123 cars so far so have had a bit of everything (except Holdens) met a few of you at Caffeine and Classicsand been to acouple of park ups at Massey Uni.

Into all things old including single malts .Work in Electronics in design and manfacturing

well that's me

I used to be a battery engineer at Chloride Batteries years ago  and also worked as a tech for a battery company in design and service.

Basically the stuff is Epsom salts. Years ago  people  used to drain the acid from the faulty cell put Epsom salts and water in it and charge it and hey presto some dealers would sell these as "reconditioned " Batteries.

Basically the new technology or batteries is pretty damn good. If you have one you suspect has sulphated up from sitting use an "intelligent " charger  or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to bring it back up. . This normally knocks the sulphation off the plates and give you a bit more life out of them

Hope this is some use
