  1. at a guess it will mate of mine has a green 77 or 78 lancer with the 1600 and a 4spd that he just fucked the pushdown/reverse thing on. but ill ask him, hes also a mechie out west
  2. youre gonna have to ruin some paint dude, at a guess think about an alternative to aluminium too. go have a chat to a friendly panelbeater and pick his brains as to what your options are cause the gutters are important to the panelwork, however much a pain they might be

    LSD

    dude, when decing between a ford diff and a hilux diff at a roughly same price, i reckon go for another Ford bit!
  4. damn those prices are madness! i paid round $150, from damaged memory, for a pair of pedders fronts, but that was at cost... at the rear i bought a pair of sports Gabriels and they were around the $110 mark, but then again that was cost too just goes to show how big the good old retail markup is, especially them Fag n Turbo b*stards
  5. i remember seeing a red mk2 panelvan eat a spankers clubsport from the motorway onramp onwards out west, a couple of years ago. both going hard, esky had some kinda 4banger in it, but managed to kill the holdie hahaha
  6. go see a real engineer bro. my mate is an apprentice, he paid i think $15 per front shock for his 77 lancer.... i know that for a fact
  7. if its gonna be illegal or not unfortunately depends on the discression of your friendly wof issuer or local cuntstables
  8. btw my kings cost me $109 a pair, retail at Titan autoparts fukkers retail them for 150-180 at Fag and Turbo
  9. that depends on which kings you buy, like lows or superlows. i know they do lows for eskys-which ive got, theyre 30mm drop and no shock work needed, apparently. then they have supalows which are 50mm or more but you have to butcher shocks for them...
  10. just take the complete shock in or whole assembly whichever ones easiest dude. depending on who you go see and how nice they are to see, i wouldnt expect to pay much more than $20-30 a corner....
  11. should b fuk all bro. if you take them outta the car, it wont take them more than like 10min per shock or a bit more. all they do is chop a bit of and wind the thread back on the shaft and thats it, i think
  12. churs bro, will do as soon as i make the esky go. ivan
  13. i remember that figure from an old performance car discussion, incidentally and funny enough i think the 10G mark came from a guy who calls himself Avgas on there....
  14. i was told that there are a few gas stations still pumpin the shit... remember when i was at this shabby little mangere mobil ages ago they had an avgas pump there, like you'd have air ones sitting on the side.. this was years ago tho
  15. how do you get snapped for using it? i was told the exhaust leaves a particluar smell...? also.. once for all, does anyone know a particular place in aux to buy some? and do they pump it or do you have to roll up with a gas can? i was also told theres a ridiculous fine for using that shit on the roads, some bull like 10 000 buckaroonies or something...
  16. yeah- what he said. and think about is you just want your ride bumping down the road and cruisin or if you wanna race it or what. Those, in combination of what gear you use will determine the prices you pay and the legality of your whip as a result in the end.... if you gotta specific question, ask away....
  17. nah bo. the bolt itself is snapped. the top half is still in the flywheel/clutch as i havent been back to the old ladys place to pull it apart. the remaining bolts in the crank are snapped clean, pretty much flush in the hole with the surface of the crank.
  18. do a bit of a search thru the formum bro, this is an old topic custom springs gonna cost you roughly as storeboubht ones. superlows might need you to shorten shocks. 50mm blocks sound good, again any bigger the blocks and you might need to shorten shocks, or just get your leaves re-set. the best way to get pricin is to get the yellow pages out and make some phone calls!
  19. hey are you the callum that set us up with that lovelife link? hahaha good shit bro. i been had
  20. bro just get std ones, your escy aint gonna put up enough power to snap them unless ya rape it on a daily basis. no need man!
  21. not too different getting 1300 and 1100 pistons i dont think. maybe a bit more compression with the 1100 ones tho? screw both options man, work the head like mad.. then chuck in some o'size pistons, grind the crank and cam, and youre away... and maybe, just maybe, if you do it right you get to snap some CRANK BOLTS!!!
  22. burnout? /... what burnout
  23. cheers RT, im gonna have a look how much the easy-out costs. Are there any other bolts that i can use that are stronger than factory stockers? as long as its same lenght/thread? i also need to get a mean drill bit to drill the bolts for easy out, dont want any drillbit snappage in there!

    crank bolts

    ok so heres the problem.. took the old 5 spd out of the escy on saturday to replace the clutch. as the gearbox came off it somewhat confused me not to see the flywheel remaining there. in fact it came off in the gearbox due to broken (all 6) crank bolts which are still half in the crank. Has anyone had this shit happen to them and how to go about it?? Ive been told that there is a tool (easy out) to take them out and i dont want to take the motor out, and there is enough room under the car to work... any help? cheerz
