has anyone noticed that no1 goes to a mechanic with oldschool cars

just drive your car into a piant oven

go to the mechanic, pay him $15 (free if you are nice to him) and get him to test it for a blown head gasket

the thing is, i can still drive it "fine" as in, it goes in all the gears etc. its just a bit harder...

syncros? (how do you spell that?)

hello guys. what's wrong with my gear box? i noticed 2 days ago that when i push the clutch in that something rattles and it sounds like its coming from the g/box / clutch area. Starting last night, it wont let me get into gears and i have to literally PULL ity out of gears even when the clutch is pushed in... i also have to slam it into gears now and again... all the gears work and the clutch seems to work to... WHATS WRONG?

it shouldnt cut ALL sparks as then the engine wouldnt run and no pressure in the engine would axtually push the fuel/air mixture through the engine and then exhaust...

get a spark plug and mount it about 5cm from the back of mufler tip. run a spark plug lead to a second coil (mounted under the car as leads are fucking expansive!) then hook the coil up to the positive, a switch between the coil and the earth and away you go. if you want mean flames, unplug one plug from the engine so a little bit more fuel runs through you exhaust. remember, if your car is tuned nicely, it should/will not have flames!!!

not running it just needs a new water pump and a WOF. it has a bit of surface rust, nothing serious and will get a respray sooner or later. it failed a WOF last time because of the stearing arm or sum shit but its not mine so dont give 2 much about it lol and its jag green :puke: lol

the one in my garage (a 100e, sorry) is running 155/80/13

thanks, thats the way its on now... looks like the box will have to come off again then third time now

hi people, i have a starlet with a 4k, 4spd and 2k flywheel, clutch, pressure plate. what way around does the clutch plate itself go? it doesnt have any markings on it but one side has a little bit sticking out where the spline goes into. i got told that the bit sticking out goes towards the g'box but its already slipping (after a week of driving since new and no burnouts!) i hope that its meant to go the other way around so i can blame the guys that told me any reply would be great. thanks probably missing some details but im in a hurry

ok, i thought that if the reverse was on the left that it'd be in the place of 1st like my olds anglia... i stand corrected

hmm, that line doesnt work in NZ (or any country that drives on the right side of the road)

FUKD50 put a 5spd in his lancer (now owned by logan (or sara)) and they got someone to cut the shift lever really low, put a horizontal piece on pointing forward and then put another piece on going up again so that the shift lever went forward 100mm or so

sweet as man. happy hooning now then

so is YES for do all or for just the shagged one?

well then i'd blame it on the ignitiony thingy

if it ends up being your ballast resistor, just bypass it but i dont think thats it because if it is stuffed, your car wouldnt go at all....

i ve got some leads. i can get u a new battery 2 if u want? cost price of course

Alex (ESCORT POWER) sorts out the banners but i am not sure if the banners will fit a mini? i put a banner on the back window of the starlet and that didnt really fit... just PM him and ask

i'll have a set of these though!!! http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/3544/ imagine how low your car would be!!! thats even better then air bags!

how about an H22A? please dont kill/ban me, i was just joking!!! seriously now, how about a 2L hilux? sr20det still sounds like most fun though

i did mine over the weekend, piss easy! i know fuck all about cars and was able to do it on my own! apart from physically lifting the box in place and lining it up. i got my mate to give me a hand for 10 minutes and the rest was all on my own. i think i got the k50 though but i'm not 100% sure. the reason i think it is a k50 is because everything lines up perfectly, even the shifter hole . it doesnt make 2 much difference aye, my starly would top out at 140 with the 4 spd and now its not even 160 (with top out i mean without passing redline) it cruises nicer though on the motorway etc i havnt actually told you anything you want to know but yeah. if you have a q or 2 then just ask me. p.s. wouldnt it be funny if you tried to do a g'box swap and for some mysterious reason the starly wouldnt go on track day you wont be able to beat me then HAHAHAHA and you wouldnt need 5th at the taupo track day though...

cheers guys, i'll check it tomorrow after work. p.s. haha, verry funny logan
