went to change gears, hand holding the gear stick ended up punching the center console............. nana drive it home using the remaining portion of the shifter .... (my broken stick on the right, the stick out of my old 4spd on the left, silly 4spd stick wouldnt fit ) as you can see its ripped off from here got home, unscrewed the center console and etc stuffs, took the shifter out, the 4spd one is way way diff mounting to the 5spd, so went n got the shaft welded back on (only cost me 6beers for the welding) Now 'tina is all fixed, gear sticks on a better angle now too so if you own a cort or esky, and give your car a beating or two, i suggest you throw a few welds on to strenghten it up! si

mk5 has more glass area i think,mk5 pinto engine has about 2/3hp more, i saw a mk3 wagon yesterday, blue one, fuck it was nice!

it dissolves the gunk basically

Fitting of or modification to: Aftermarket wheel fitments LVV certification is not required provided that: THE WHEELS - are a known and reputable brand non-OE item, and - would be considered an appropriate fitment for the vehicle type by the wheel manufacturer and - are not modified,and - spacers or adaptors are not fitted, and - do not cause the vehicle’s track to be increased by more than 25 mm, and - do not foul any other vehicle components. THE TYRES: - have an outer rolling circumference that is not more than 5% greater than OE, and - are an appropriate selection for rim width, and - do not rub on suspension components, body structure or outer panels during normal vehicle operation, and - tyre tread does not extend beyond the original body panels and - tyres do not foul on any other vehicle components.

If the valves and valve seats have been hardened then dont bother with the 1$ everytime you fill, its not like a head is $$$ to replace anyways! In my cort i pretty much always use 96, goes alot alot better than watered down 91 shiz and also, never by petrol thats on special its generaly old, has a low octane , hence the need for them to drop the price to sell it quick si

Easyest way to increase horsepower (sorta) is to loose weight, so get rid of anything you dont need (ie rubbish!) One thing that a few people over look that can often ad alittle power is the earth wires, make sure they are all in good cond, as well as all other leads etc. check your fuel filter (if you dont have one get one) make sure your petrol tank isnt full of crap, and use 96 octane gas. dont for get the brakes either:) check the pads shoes whatever too si

This is what the WOF book says : LVV certification is not required provided that: Springs and shock absorbers -the springs or shock absorbers are direct replacements, and -replacement springs fit and maintain contact with un-modified OE seats throughout full suspension travel, and -replacement springs are self-retaining in their seats at full extension, without the use of non-standard devices such as wire-ties, straps, or external spring locators, and -replacement springs have not been heated or cut, and -springs and spring seats are not height adjustable (unless OE), and -replacement shock absorbers fit un-modified OE mountings, and -suspension maintains sufficient travel for safe operation when fully laden, and -suspension components maintain sufficient clearance from unmodified bumpstops when fully laden, and -a minimum of 100 mm ground clearance exists below any part of the vehicle structure, or any steering, braking, or suspension component1, and -the normal relationship between front and rear suspension height is not unduly affected. Lowering blocks (for leaf springs, to adjust their ride height) the blocks are: - securely fitted, and - constructed from metal, and - designed for the purpose, and - firmly seated over not less than the OE seat area, and - not more than 50 mm in height.

It would help if you told us what type of car you have.

Check all your leads, check plugs/dizy etc etc

Just rembered theres a place in NZ that specialises in toyota/ford 4cyl race parts etc *thinks* http://www.palmside.co.nz try there, they have carbs and manifolds. si

If your really keen, A 2L ford Zetec engine would be the way to go, (they bolt into cortinas with cortina mounts) but not sure about the mounting on a escort, yes the engine is out of a FWD yes it will bolt to a sierra 5spd only thing that may need to be changed is the water rail to move the thermostat housing to the front. http://www.palmside.co.nz they can get the parts in for ya si[/url]

Stick with the webers, from memory you cant dellorto rebuild kits anymore. Si

nah it aint that obvious, yeh if you know what your doing then youll find it but still, if someone really wants to steal your car then they will no matter what. Datsunboy its a mk5 cortina, yeh a quadcam v8 (1uzfe) would be the shiz

Rather than go for a switch to turn off the fuel pump or electrics, the previous owner set up a unit to block off the fuel line, I recall i think its a simlar solenoid thingy (blue bit) they use in petrol/lpg setups. altho, a setup like this, with the kill switch in teh GO positon uses bout 2AmpH, so dont forget to switch it si.

After being around for 22 years now, my cars bumpers, mirrors, louvers etc have faded considerably, what ways do you ppl recommend getting them back to there orginal state? i have tryed a few bumper/vinyl products, they dont seem to do the job though ? any ideas? Also Vinyl roofs, what products you can recommend? Chairs, Si
