Mr Revhead

cool do that

always keen on mysteries and oddities!!

rtwhat?!

sadly i dont even have a wayto look up parts for those!!!

a lot of JDM cars from the mid 80s back are getting dropped off the epc..... like the kp6#s

are you sure they are imports?

could be reregd....

but yeah could be possible they were supposed to be exported then sold locally. be bloody rare though

what type of cars were they?

im so glad bumblebee WASNT a beetle

fark i hate beetles

yeah must have changed that shot in the movie!

farrrk knows!

merely an example

clarification:

R = RHD for export market

L = LHD fro export market

JDM vehicles have neither of the above.

so

TE71-##### = jdm

TE71R-##### = export

TE71L-##### = export

some things you will see after jap numbers.

W or G = wagons

V or K usually on hiaces

a sedan, hatch or liftback wont have anything, but a wagon always has a W or G

sooooo in NZ if you have a te71r chances are that it is nz new.... but it could also be an aussie or singapore import, which arenot uncommon

MAKE THE SUMP BIGGER!!

cant say iv honestly spent a lot of time looking at the sotck ones..... so i dont know.

i do know that some ppl have not found the gains they thought they would with extractors... suggesting that some of the stock ones may not be so bad

how much power u going for?

the chevette stock set up is good for about 5hp.....

anything above sotck look at the gemini

for real power go fourlink and look at the above mentioned piazza

also a good source for brakes

then burn the rest of the evil thing!!!

can you go forward? then curve back under

you could write volumes on header design....

i suggest some research to at least get an approximate guide to lenghts

operated by boost/vaccum rather than a spring/vacuum

im not saying its what you MUST use. im saying its what ill be looking at.

for a s/c by pass valve, a conventianal dump valve prob isnt the best suited.

off an sw20!

mr2 turbo.

i havnt investigated it totally yet, but i think itll work quite well

its basicly a 2 chamber valve. instead of a single chamber like a convential dump valve

why is there a poll???

its easy..... you want power... go turbo.

i doubt very much you are willing or able to spend the required amount to enable a ca18 make any decent power n/a

n/a power = $$$$

the head along will prob cost the same as the entire turbo job....

re the compression, yes its all to do with cam profile and combustion chamber shape. and tuning.

you need to ask yourself, "how much power do i want"

definitly go blow through

whats the engine?

maybe look at things like mg montego for a carb.

or mitsi tredia/cordia

yes you need a bypass/dump valve, ill be looking into the sw20 VSV as a valve for my plans. you want it plumped back in though, otherwise the noises made will make ppl think youv just OD'd on baked beans....

i bet its not as bas as it looks.....

i reckon the main structure will be ok, and i also bet some one restores it

go look at the TOMS website

i think they have some pics under the history section

hard to find info on them..... at least in english.

they raced in europe against the capris etc. got owned

try searching under group 5

im in wellington at the moment.

but was born in chch, lived in timaru for 20 years and then 7 in nelson

i consider nelson my home and if they ever build the race track there.... then im back.

SI FTW!!!

hell yeah SI roads totally pwn the norths....

thats a nice line up of dattos!!

countach ftw!!!

very good point ^

polishing removes stress points by eliminating sharp edges worth it depending on the application

american guy, made in ireland....

ugliest pos ever

no.

youd be thinking of cadZZilla

oh how i love the sleds!
