Same thing happened here in Qld

Hello queenslander!!

Kiwi living in Brisbane for the last few decades.....This was mine when i lived in Papakura.

:twisted:and today i mess with this sort of thing...

shouldnt hijack this thread but is that a 38 chev coupe ?

Finally got doing something did you David?? nah liking the wheels man.. hope the project goes all good

Tints could do with a very slight gloss? or just my opinion..

body is too low for my liking..

lastly BRING BACK TEH CHROME!! (window trims etc)

I would check that lowlancer.. mine was doing that for a bit.. got something in the carby that turned to jelly in one of the jets.. that took a bit to find. then the last day my car was going it seemed to lose power real bad.. was firing badly for about a week then shat itself just on the way out of taupo.. mechanic said something bout rings out the exhuast

Manslaughter last i heard..

Couldnt be fully sure.. i had someone else point it out to me..

was it running sweet when you had it on the road? cos if it the gasket was loose at any stage you would have noticed compression problems would have sounded lumpy and shit.. then constant pressure would have blown it my gasket looked sweet when it was taken out.. but it had a little bit of a twist in it.. also check your sump for milk

if its the gasket you would have had some water leakage into the sump.. well that was the case with me anyway..

did you have the head off??

possible you warped the gasket when putting tightening.. if so you shouldnt have any probs.. when my gasket went i didnt really notice and then i blew the engine good and proper.. blew bits out the exhaust.. cold water in the sump with hot oil is a bad thing

you're not welcome here anymore

But Seriously

hondas are more rice than car

the only place i like to see hondas is at the wreckers

if you retract your statment about hondas we might let you stay

RIP Dude

Thats some sad shit.

someone mentioned this in the Hit and Run thread.

didnt realise how it happened..

Sorry to hear man..

Feel sorry for the chicks in the car too

Thats a decent size bit of concrete..

Yea i vote we do a man hunt.. ram him off the road if you see him

also if anyone throws things at your car you have an automatic right to try run them down.

sounds like side exit dizzy is going to be the way to go more money that i dont have..

Using the intake from a 1600HT??

im not actually sure

Edit: Its a 1600HC

Is there a size difference between a 1300 dizzy and a 1600 dizzy?

I mite just have a cry about it and then have another go in the morning.. it just seems weird as the manifold sits almost on the dizzy.. so it would be impossible/very hard to get a lead onto the dizzy..

Hey guys.. i came across a slight problem when putting my engine together.. the intake maifold and the dizzy seem to be in the way of each other..

i have the dizzy from my 1600 the intake from my 1600 but a 1300 head and block.. ?

any suggestions??

(completely unrelated)

JAZZ JACKRABBIT!

No way! I'd almost forgotten all about it!!

Wonder if it runs on XP lol

If you were a geek then you would know you can run it in compatiblity mode

so win98 or something.. or so i've heard..

I deal with couriers quite regularly through work etc.. mainfrieght are very good.. owens are also good.. pbt arent too bad though have a habbit of losing packages.. try to avoid NZC and Courier Post if possible..

Fastway are also a good go.. most of our stuff is done by private contracters though

LOL you get points for that one lowlancer

God, not another thread about esky conversions...

no ones stopping you making a thread about celeste conversions

Wow good point, you really got me, obviously a lot of thought there Einstein. That's totally beside the point, irrelevant. This has clearly been covered before, along with every other conversion. That's all I was saying, yet Atropine tells me to stop crying...? Huh? looks like the some are having the big cry and getting defensive over a simple remark. Don't bother responding to this as I am right

Empty Retort just for the hell of it

yea rotor eskies suck balls

noi to anyone who has one.. just not my thing.. waste of an escort shell really

are there not issues with length of driveshaft/gearbox etc?

what about conveting a 1600 auto to manual with the seirra box? can i use the auto driveshaft still or is it trial and error?

me = steal your box and drive train

maybe we need a newbie help section??

i dont think this thread belongs in the section anyway

p.s. Capris seriously own escorts....

Ahahah you wish.. my escort rolling body would have pwnd your capri rolling body there and back

OI!! you bastards dont hijack my thread..

if you want a thread on what your olds did with their cars back in the day make a new one..

hopefully will have pics of the chev this week.. weather dependant of course
