Yeah she just wants a five speed. Meh fuckit it can stay a 4. too much hassle.

Haha nah, HC Viva, if it fits a chevette though it'd probably fit a viva easily enough.

Cheers didn't think there was but im not into my vauxs. Nah its my girls car n she wants it fairly original, won't even lower it

Is there a 5 speed box that will bolt up to a 1256 or are they only 4 speeds? Would probably need new driveshaft to if so, looking for a bolt in replacement. Cheers

Don't really check this section but fuck im keen to come down from keri if there a gathering happening, PM me with any contact details or whenever somethings happening. Jon

Auto shaft has larger spline so won't fit.

the tail section on the tina box is an inch or so longer than the esky one, the yokes are the same though, think the only option would be to shorten the std one to suit.

Kinda had the same problem in my mk3, cept it was 4spd to 5spd, i ended up using a auto cortina X member, not sure if that will work though. Any pics?

no coil doesn't effect starter, is it pre engaged or inertia?

chuck a screwdriver across the two contacts on the solenoid(make sure its not in gear, did that myself and scared the shit outa myself) if it turns over could be having same problem as mine, it wasnt earthing properly when trying to turn it over from the ignition but was sweet when using a screwdriver, putting a few bolts through it sorted that. make sure its earthed and try jumping it again. At the moment im thinking coil doesn't effect starter, but im fucked atm so i could be wrong.

On my scort if the solenoid wasnt bolted down it wouldnt earth properly and wouldnt crank over, is it inertia or pre engaged?

Did you swap the coil out? You sure theres no resistance wire in there?

Whos your mate? yeah i know a few people who have haha, i know a dude who epoxy'd a cardboard one to his van.

usually bolted to the side of the engine bay, can get a universal one from repco for $40

If its got a separate solenoid i.e. not attached to the starter, it's inertia, but there should only be on contact on the back of the starter which goes to the solenoid, then the negative battery cable goes to the other contact on the solenoid/i think. did mine a week ago but sold the car so can't check. 90% positive though.

Inertia or Pre-engaged?

What about adding gussets(think thats the name can't remember off the top of my head) Around Suspension up front to stop the front twisting round then working something out for the back, half cage? or not keen to go that way?

how do ya tell what webber is what? just i never had an good look at one before. Its stamped on the side of the base.

Probably not unless you can get some figures concerning the head, could be a crock for all you can tell.

I've got a standy cam if you're keen for swaps

It'll run a lot smoother, mates esky seems to rev out a lot nicer with elec dizzy.

Fluid passing the seals most probably, not sure if you have a Lamberts Brake & Clutch down there. Check the yellow pages for them, onto it as, cheap and good quality. Only one i know of though is in whangarei.

Snells Springs in aux reset and lower leaf springs to your specs for $210 a pair and do custom coils for i think $200 a pair.

Faulty ECU? Try a spare maybe?

That was on the roof though so it would have way more flex in it than a dent in a door etc. Might work on a stiffer panel. meh somebody try it.
