  1. Pretty sure the reason he's avoiding that has already been covered..

    Hard to start

    My brothers car does the exact same thing, pretty bloody sure it's the coil. Have yet to actually fix it though.

    Hard to start

    If it'll tow start fine but not on cranking, you might have low coil voltage. Check the volts at the coil with a multimeter and see what's up. Does it use a ballast resistor?
  4. My brothers car also got some massive run on with his 1600. It was a lot better on 95/98, but still there. Whipped the old carb off and slapped some freshly rebuilt twin CDs on it and it don't run on any more. Therefore the solution to your problem is add more carbs.
  5. Yeah swimming this year without getting swept away at 200 odd mph would be great.
  6. Camp like a bawse
  7. That's only during NY. They are all cleared out now, However as Gaz warned a few years ago, be careful of where you piss or the gay will climb up your diddle...
  8. Gah, most probably will not be attending this year due to very minimal funds.
  9. Oh yeah, cans and shit. Meh. Goonbags full of beer would be ideal.
  10. Haha nah don't remember that. Diesel genny with no exhaust should solve that issue though. Doubt anyone can yell over the top of that.
  11. Sweet. Will bring a big fold up solar panel for daytime recharging. Other campers are annoyed by the generator as opposed to us being awake 'till 4am? Unusual.
  12. Get those intake swirly thingies. They will apparently add 30% more power as well has halving your fuel bill. I think you can also get some magic rocks that you drop in the fuel tank that has similar results.
  13. Need to hitch-hike with someone as I have no car / too poor to drive
  14. Someone's bringing a genny? Can bring a rather decent audio system / karaoke for funtimes if keen
  15. Yup H4 hi/lows, clip happily into standard semisealed housings and plug into factory headlight plug. Just need a place to mount the ballast. $179 retail I think, but who the fuck pays retail. http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp ... rm=KEYWORD I have some in the Crown and they will quite literally fuck your face up with the awesomeness.
  16. Jaycar does an ultra lush hi/low HID kit if you wanna challenge the sun.
  17. I'll wave to the queers as I drive past tonight.
  18. Also also also If you are using stiffer springs and a harder shock to counter the extra springy, make sure the shock mounts are also strong enough. Otherwise they may bend / break etc
  19. Haha yeah I was tapping into someone elses Wifi to try and find where everyone was. Morons had no password.
  20. So backup location? Weather is pretty average from where I'm sitting. Will be at the gardens soon anyway..
  21. Oh yeah, the other one has some rust in it And a CT26 turbo sitting on the exhaust manifold And a new 5/7M-GE sitting on the floor. Fresh rebuild of a 5M head on a 7M block. At some stage I will combine all these items into something. Except the hole, in which I will plug with newspaper and reapply the bog back on. That's all for now, expect another update in 6 odd months time.
  22. Wicked, thanks man! Will get an addy
  23. Lulz, it's summer, the most i've done so far is open the bonnet. Anyway, in the mean time I have been putting some mild work into this thing. Unfortunately I haven't actually got a photo of the car anywhere, only a few bits of it.. Anyway it's a 1990 LS130something, which had for whatever reason been refitted with the mighty 3L. Which is slow as shit. Bought it in auckland, drove it to Napier, slept in it, bought a turbo for it, ran a bearing in it, mashed it in a garage and left it for a decent amount of time. But as Wagnats is fast approaching I decided that it is probably a good idea to try and get the bastard back on the road again. The current 3L, with a shattared bearing. New engine block, awaiting a head Turbo. Yah Ain't EFI, would much per the D-TURBO pipe that the non efi models had. Engine is almost ready to be pulled out, and onwards to the fun job of dismantling and slapping parts on the new block. Should be fun
  24. Hey guys, could anyone in the christchurch place pick up some carbies for me? Churrrrrrrrrr......
