  1. any old shit will work OK as long as the surfaces are clean. isopropyl alcohol is the way to go. clean it really well and you wont have another problem, wipe it with a rag and leave a nice layer of oil on the flange face and it will leak every time.

  2. Unlike some of you guys I only have one car...lol so its gotta be back on the road asap.

    oh snap.

    dont worry, it wont be long untill you "cant say no" to another cortina, then its only a short ride to 4 cars rusting on the lawn.

    we've all been there, its just a matter of time.. :lol:

    good work though, keep fixing and learning, soon you'll be able to tell Gaz how to re-build pintos (because they need re-building every 50 miles or so :mrgreen: ).

  3. it had a white roof before and it looked so sweet.

    kinda a bit bummed i didnt buy this car when i could have...

    keep posting updates dude, keen to see this progress. ive been doing a few things to the 51, not much though. crashing my celica every 18 months or so kind of takes up all my time.

    sheepers.

  4. also, i collect those steering wheels so you should give that one to me.

    apart from that your car is super sweet, ever since i was a little bitty baby i always wanted a 3T.

    mainly because they have sparkplugs all over the place. and leads. i dont know why.

    car is sweet.

  5. this thread is fast becoming nothing but fail.

    i appreciate your less confrontational manor Steve.

    there are plenty or reasons why LPG is of no use and there are plenty of ways to make it work.

    but this has nothing to do with this thread, so in the interests of stopping arguments, and opinions being used in place of facts, i am locking this thread.

  6. dude, sign up to toymods. it will take a few days to get your account activated but youll be right after that.

    there is a thread called "for the love of a tractor engine, the life and times of the 18RG"

    it has everything you could want to know about 18RG's.

  7. well got no excuses now as it got bent this morning,

    4wd didn't indicate and couldn't stop bent front guard and back guard

    don't think its beyond repair but i'm gutted to say the least,

    will fit my cdt flares i think as they owe me a bit and get it fully panneled

    so my $500 coupe is going to likely be a $3000 coupe before paint

    argh so hard to blow a tanti when sheepers just takes this in his stride

    go on, have a tanti, i wont tell anyone....

    sheepers the cool.

  8. there wasn't one.

    perhaps you could start here,

    viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4159

    but basically it goes like this, lots of argument about anything on the "border", no decision made, thread gets moved or it doesn't.

    if the car is borderline and we feel that the car is leaning towards an old school style, it goes in one thread, if it borderline and we feel that its leaning the other way, it goes in the other thread.

    nowhere does it say "you cant post that car in here" you can have a "this is my ride thread" on any car you want, if we feel its in the wrong place we'll move it.

    its very simple.

  9. a spring is a torsion bar but in a coil form really, if you over twist a torsion bar i guess it would shear but with a coil spring you cant do that because it would become coil bound before you got the chance to over stress it?

    if you had a spring working right on the edge of its limits (really close to becoming bound all the time) i suppose it could fracture the steel but Ive never heard of this happening.

    i dunno, passably the difference between one and the other is the rate of "settle" you know, one might change more over time changing the way your car behaves??

    never heard of this happening either though?????????????????

    some words of confusion.

  10. So who's the dickhead that deleted my post?

    Which said....... A "pro" would check for faultcodes at the ECU.

    If you don't know how to do it...... jump over to toyspeed.

    Steve

    i deleted it. because, as with everything else you post on this forum, it was redundant (as pointed out by Spencer and others) and your language and manor was, as always, abrupt, confrontational and derogatory.

    notice the way you have written "whos the dickhead" at the beginning of your post. this is exactly the sort of thing that I'm talking about, and is going to get you banned very shortly.

    pull you head in, be a bit more friendly and helpful or fuck off.

  11. it will differentiate between a "heat soak" type issue (probably electrical) and a possibility of over fueling.

    toyotas like to flood the shit out of themselves when they are cold, no such a flash idea when they are hot. could be something to do with the cold start injector, or the temp sensor that controls it. anyway, its just a bit more information to go with to try to help you fix it.

    let us know tomorrow.

    have you thought of doing a 4M conversion? no pesky cold start issues with an M, cauz they dont start any time.

    definitely worth thinking about

    sheepers (who LOL's himself)
