  1. bit expensive, but they love it http://turbochargingdynamics.com/?wpsc_product_category=m20
  2. Was good to get a great turnout regardless of new/old car content. Numbers were ideal. Next time hopefully more old cars. New cars jitted pretty early. Threads up for this month; //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/46909-palmy-monthly-burgerfuel-meet-tues-24th-feb-7pm/
  3. hopefully! Well, maybe not the police, but she's nice enough.
  4. Last one before nats! Burgerfuel Palmy Meet at; The lower undercover park at the plaza at 7:00pm We'll check out some cars, and walk straight over the road for some takeaways about 7:30-8 - Just a note, feel free to invite other cars/people along, but you will be responsible for them! Please leave no rubbish and no skids/rowdy driving in the carpark - We've been given permission from the Plaza to use this, and we don't want to loose it. We have a rain free car park, and the barrier arms go up shortly after we arrive, meaning no parking fees. Grab a camera and we'll seeya there
  5. Yeah, well. Unfortunately the free chips with burger purchase has been pulled for now as well, due to burgerfuel head office. I'm working on it though.
  6. After reading your post above, what I'd recommend is a nice cold drink on a deck chair. You can buy some drinks with the money you scrap the engine for. Assuming you can get a ride to the scrap dealer, and then the liquor shop, and then wherever the deck chair is.
  7. /m8 just do it the factory white. will look wayyyyy better.

  9. where is it? Wanganui? Lold at SS commodore.
  10. arg. http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/105183-how-lift-works-and-basic-lift-troubleshooting-thread/ So should I probably not be driving the thing? Or ok for now as long as I'm not revving it out gee?
  11. So because it was a pretty accurate title I shouldn't need to explain anymore, but i will anyway. Have a 2000 Toyota Corolla Fielder Z that mainly does Jo duties/daily drives to work etc. Noticed that when the vvti is supposed to be "kicking in" at approx 6500, it now hesitates, misses slightly and accelerates with hesitation. Started doing it in just 1st gear doorts, which I thought was just low speed/tyre chirp. Have noticed it slowly progressed to both 2nd, and now 3rd gear. This doesn't make a lot of sense, but Cam/Gman suggested new plugs (them be bad at high revs, and less load in the higher gears). Changed and didn't make a difference. Took air filter out in case it was blocked, and funnily enough it fixed it for one acceleration. Now it's bad again. Sorry I can't explain better, it baffles me a tad. Sparkle.
  12. I wouldn't say awesomely. But yeah, much better than standard at least! Could do with less bump steer and jitters. That would mean raising the front though and nahhhh It'll be a bit of a handful I'm thinking, but defo looking forward to big dorts, and a label label idle. Keen for track day if its running good, I've ran it in, and I've got a baffled sump.
  13. Ok, With the kind help of those top blokes cam and blizzo, the engine got stripped, and made a plan to have 2ltr in for nats. Plan originally included a relatively stock rebuild, with a bit of porting, a cam that makes label label noises, and more than likely the 32/36 weber that I have. I then found some high compression m10 pistons on ebay australia. Landed them for nix, and found that they wouldn't work due to them being for a 02 engine rather than an E21 (didn't know that combustion chambers were basically mirrored) So, because I started on that track, I couldn't back track amirite? Head as standard (mine on the right) Head as of today Hasn't got much more cutting to go, before polishing begins. So current plan includes some JE pistons, a 294 cam, 45mm webers, maybe some headers, and some other misc bits from these fellas; http://www.racetep.com/bmwmainframe.html So yeah, fingers crossed I'll have more than double my current horsepower at nats. Should be pretty nippy round town. discuss; //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/29495-sparkles-bmw-of-supermega-happy-hell-yes/
  14. E34 mesh 15x7 is a safe option. Fit well, easy to get, look nice. If thats what you got Karl, then, boom.
  15. Argh. Good point. Maybe the pak and save carpark instead? End closest to the burgerfuel end. I'll head down there early and see what I can scrounge in either carparks
  16. Lololol. I was looking at that. Man I love e23s. Good deal. Is it de reg?
  17. Good reading. Good thread. would trade again.
  18. have pined these vans since high school. So choice. What a combo eh. A15, quad lights, and a place to fornicate. What more could you want?
