  2. With only 205-215 then I would think that rolling would be sifficient.
  3. Ahhh, I see you bought this. I went and looked at it a year ago or something and ended up deciding against it ... *looks at rust work done* phewww lol! Top job. Good to see something a bit diff in NZ scence instead of the usual plain pinto or going for a diff engine, 4age etc. Theres also a pic of you and your one of your other escorts up at uni, noticed it matched off your site Just wondering where didyou get your EDIS setup from? Cheers.

    Welder

    Stagered mig welding won't warp it. Use grinder to cut -> clean up -> weld -> clean up -> make sure water tight etc.

  10. Asked WEST? He's got that oragne wag on titans. I'm sure I've read here that they are all the same. Coupes/sedans/wags. But I'm not 100% so don't quote me. Go the tang. Get a coupe, they look sick.

    Usually rotarys may run twin 2" from the exhaust ports and then into one before the diff and out the back. If thats what you were thinking of.
  21. Thanks WDE_BDY but it seems I didn't proof read that very well lol. I think i was trying to say was 'it has been happening for a while now'. When the enigine is running you really have to wrestle it into gear and it is dam near impossible sometimes. Oh and when enigine is off you are able to get it into gear relativley easy.
  22. Ok fullas, heres the deal. My mates got a 78 BMW 318 I think. 4 banger. It has had a problem of not being able to easily getting into gear while running so he changed the slave for the clutch. The problem is not fixed so we get a box/clutch/presureplate/thrust bearing from a wrecked one and got it in there in the weekend. Problem still occurs. Does anyone know what could be the problem could be? It seems like the clutch just isn't disengageing. Cheers boys. /edited

    KE70 corolla

    Same happened to mates Mini. No matter how much we push started it it just wouldn't go. Turned out to be a naffed coil. So check that as even though it may have spark it could be irregular and/or too weak. Tryed engine start? Try pushing it faster too...or pull it...

    sand blasting

    What are you? 50 Cent?? My mate got his Mini dipstripped for around $800. That is a mini though. And everything has to be gone. Afterwards it is dipped in a rust inhibitor so you have to wash it down before you paint. Probably just go with the blasting.
