yea, ill end uo taking the wheels to quik strip in avondale, i geuss my main question is what will acid dipping do to a head? or what does the process involve, because if it doesnt eat at any metal then i dont see any problem with the head being acid dipped too?

i just got another mini for parts, theres a few things on it i want on the nice mini, but there not in the best of condition. The things im thinking about are the rims and the head. ive thaught about this a bit but im wondering if anyone here knows more about acid dipping, if im dipping the head then it can exactly take any metal off only the carbon and shit. any info on acid dipping in general would be appreciated

slotting is pretty dodgey, have a talk to mag and turbo, they get them undrilled i think so u can just ask for watever you want (dont quote me on that) either that or juat talk straight to performance wheels in oz who make modgies hope its some help

have a look at the time and date the person posted this, you might notice it was last weekend. sorry, i dont mean to sound like im biting ur head off

alright, thanks man

anyone know what the stud pattern for a 1977 mitsi lancer rwd is? need to know asap

sweet as, thanks man, ill have a look tomorrow, ive been considering putting new leads on it but im bassically just being a cheap arse cos ill be selling it before too long hopefully

yea, 4ac, i thaught about the dizzy, what part of it would need attention? the cap?

i have a 1984 toyota corrola ae82 as my daily friver, its not running quite right, which i think is either the leads, or the fuel pump maybe. but the thing is (this might sound stupid) when i turn the headlights on, the running quality gets worse, it cuts in and out more often, stutters and the revs drop. any suggestions on what this could be? (ive cleaned the carb, checked battery terminals, its not the battery itself, its not the alternator as bat is charging.)

sweet thats wat i was hoping, just thaught id make sure

i just baught a full gasket and seal kit 4 the mini and started tearing the engine apart, but only really managed to get a couple of the gaskets in before realising how exhausted i am, so, now i have a bunch of paper, cork and metal gaskets that im not completely sure how to care for... it might be a slightly random question but will the moisture in the air affect them or anything? is there something i should do to keep them as pristine as possible until i work on it again? any help would be appreciated

might be a dumb question but whats tread seperation?

fark wat a score! the wheels alone a probly worth more than 1g,

thaught id bump this back up, two words, insanely low

on older cars, they dont need mirrors at all to pass the warrent,(feel free to take the mirrors off completely eg my mini) much the same as some cars with no backseat belts etc. as it is an option from factory eg dont quote me on this lol

so wat are the plans for it dude?

does anyone here know of a website that lists the factory hp/kilowatt output of cars? sortof like an encyclopedia of cars and their hp/kw?

ones from a mini clubman might fit, i think...

me, im just plain confused, how would that work? im sure theres a thing called gravity so wouldnt the top cylinder run out of oil? etc etc etc

no offence dude but you come up with some fairly "different" ideas

thanks man, that is Exactly the kind of information after, much appreciated

yea, ive thaught about suspension etc 2, im really just trying to get my head around it before anything actually gets under way... im not after insane amounts of power but i cant really afford to do many things more than once so im just asking around to see what people would reccomend etc

really, so the oppurtunities for more power, allbeit not much, from the 2.0 are outweighed by the lightness of the 1.8? thanks for the help guys, i really appreciate it

hey cortina_mk1, im just wondering, i presume you weighed up the options between the c18det and the sr20 det, what pushed you towards choosing the c18det, on topve that, what diff and running gear did you use?

yea, i have had a loom there, its proposed a few questions but all mainly ones i cant attack until i have the car and engine in front of me.. lol
