a nurburgring astra, is that a chav's wet dream or what?

Fram FTW

haha just google 'fram filter crap'

have heard lots bad things about fram

yeah if you want more power and still good idle and low end, go for more lift rather than more duration. Will make the valvetrain wear faster though.

I have an old subaru brumby with the ea81 1800 pushrod engine.

I'm going to replace the carb soonish as the old one was bad to start with, and now there's a big flat spot.

I have two carbs at my disposal - a weber 34/34 ADF from a fiat twincam

and the old trusty 32/36 DGAV.

fook me if I'm wrong but the combined area of the chokes is pretty much the same, so I'm guessing each will flow about the same air wide open.

Does anybody know how the difference in primary size will affect things?

Less low end torque for the 34?

Better mid range without having to open the secondary?

Fuel consumption?

The ADF is mo sexy but I use the car off road a bit so don't want to lose anything in the low end.

Taking my ute in for a WOF this week after I've finished tidying it up a bit.

Don't think there's anything much wrong with it, just don't want to take it to some cnt who's gonna fail it for being an old car.

Anybody know a good place?

My bro's gf has one of those valve ones in taiwan.

sounds nice but it's only 10W - it's valve poweramp not just pre.

I used to have a couple of MK1 Transits, kinda like

The first was an ambulance with only 30,000 miles, the 2nd was a pop-top camper.

Only, I lived in Manchester so they both got robbed.

ok thanks for that

i'll only get a car then if it's a serious bargain.

i'm working far too much so don't have much motivation to go around looking for bits, and i don't know american cars so wouldn't know what would be good to pick up either.

hey,

I'm going to OS fair on saturday, apparently the cars will be priced to sell.

Was thinking of maybe buying a car and sending it to NZ to sell for profit,

Good idea or not worth the f@n trouble?

anything in particular fetching good coin these days?

budget approx 15k

I want that milk float in teh ad!

Any one know what (actually) happens in situations like this incase my above comment was wrong? Never had anyone hit me or vise versa.

What happened to me was:

Guy came around, said my ute was worth $800

Scrap value=600 - here take this 200.

I wrote a letter, another guy came round, said $500

- here take $50

I rang up and asked for a "deadlock" letter - this is very important.

My ute was instantly worth $1800 - here, take $1200.

a few hundred bucks for replacement panels via tardme and a bit of panelbeating later I was back on the road.

pull out the stereo, find the wire that's connected to that circuit and insulate it.

Normally the stereo earths to chassis so a ground wire isn't needed, so someone might have wired the lighting wire to earth.

There's normally a wire going from that circuit to the stereo to light it up when you turn on the lights. It's often the cause of your problem. You haven't changed your stereo recently have you?

brushes could be shagged in the sterter too, but usually the hammer routine gets it to go.

The article also said that drilling a hole in the door sills and pouring expanding foam in makes a huge difference.

That's a really nice recipe for rust.

= why i didnt do it. at least it wont make your car twisty.

For a drag car or something thats garaged though it might be worthwhile.

I dont' know how people can execute such a build without the thought of DRIVING it in mind.

I have a real good article on seam welding somewhere on my computer, tho unfortunately it's now in storage for a year.

The article also said that drilling a hole in the door sills and pouring expanding foam in makes a huge difference.

For the spot welds you don't need to use a spot welder. Just get one of those drills you use for cutting out spot welds, cut through the top layer and use a mig to fill in the hole. Then just grind flat and paint it and it can't be seen.

I believe you're not allowed to make the structure more rigid without getting it certed.

Keep an eye out on trademe, they are getting rarer but come up for a good price now and then.

yer most go for 32/36 DGV / DGAV.

there's lots of info on USMB

fark! a bad year or 2 for driving legends

strait thru boe!

everytime ive drivin it i've been pulled up & the cars been searched

what kinda sales pitch is that?
