The tape mark on the dash was from the boss being on 90 demerit points, he drove around for a year with the date on a piece of masking tape, when most of the points came back off his license haha

Van went bye byes today, sadface.jpg I mucked around with springs a bit to raise it and fit some un modified bumpstops so it was all legit, first gen rav4 rear springs fit perfect and drop it halfway between stock, and where it was with the mystery springs in it. Went and picked up the chev again and put the new cam angle sensor in , no more fault code or check engine light, and runs better, yuss.

Weld a morris crank handle on for a familiar way of doing it?

And another from the internet that I like

Sweet! I like the stock wheels but low look, this is a mates GMC

Kk covered the mounting The hard part is if it is a fixed back bucket with high sides you have to get the belt to fit through the slots Which can be tricky to achieve

Technically yes does require cert

Dunno if it's any help or if they are the same or not but I was at zebra in manukau on sunday, there was a XG? falcon ute with a disc rear end that still had the calipers and cables on it

I realised I was posting in your build thread, what a n00b Just a bit of 3mm steel bolted to the camera, with 2 very grunty magnets. I assume neodymium or whatever fancy magnets are .

When did it start doing it? That is slightly puzzling

If you've just had it balanced and its spot on, and the joints are phased correctly I'd look at u joint angles Is it single or 2 piece ?

First thing would be figure out if its driveshaft speed or wheel speed, that will narrow it down Ie at 92.7 kph is it going wubwubwubwubwubwubwub Or RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Neat colour. Also, that seat pattern and colour is exactly the same as my VG valiant , must have been a todd motors thing?

I look forward to your usual level of detailed work on this one. Funny how marina's never got much of a following, I've never had much to do with them but surely they cant be that much different/worse than other cheap 70s cars? I've always thought it would be fun to put a rotary in one

Yeah either 40mm, or 1/3rd total suspension travel. Which with some coilovers, is less than 40 . might be where your 35mm story came from Theres a place in manukau that makes very good quality spacers and adapters, znoelli.co.nz

There isn't a minimum measurement in the standard or the CCM, we've just been told the short urethane ones are no good. I've used 25mm and rubber as a minimum since

Or the bin, cant cert a car with 10mm bumpstops any more

You wont need to change the OEM anchorages, have done heaps of certs where an extra anchorages have been fitted for upper or lower or retractor positions, where there is factory ones as part of it

Been fixing things and also making things worse sometimes? Degreased and waterblaster engine bay. Next day it started misfiring. Check engine light came on. Bought OBD scan thing , cam angle sensor, ordered one, waiting for it to arrive. Still runs ok just has a misfire now and then Boss had bought most of the parts to do everything but got the CBFs so fortunately I didnt have to spend much, I only had to get wheel bearings and wheel cylinders. fitted new discs, pads, bearings and an abs sensor to the front, new shoes wheel cylinders and drums on the rear. The new drums are not round so I had to swap the old ones back on to stop the pedal pulsing.... stops a lot better now though and the abs works again, the wiring had got in the way during a balljoint replacement prior to my ownership, and was cleft in twain by a misplaced hammer blow Replaced a broken exterior door handle, that was a cunt of a job, and adjusted the interior handle mechanism after getting trapped inside it a couple of times Fitted new door speakers, they had fallen apart, which is the general theme of the interior, theres a lot of cracked plastic bits The diff needs a rebuild, it's a bit noisy and has play in the pinion bearing. Booked for a new windscreen on Thursday, after that I'll swap the van back and get that ready to sell

Whew that chassis situation is yuck... I'll just leave this here

Stink. What happened?

Waterblaster on the seatbelts trick works pretty good. Bleargh stuff coming out That's not wet and dry, the grey bit is where it's been blasted.... They look pretty good now they have dried out

Yes!! Congrats. That will be a nice car when it's done. I dont think I've ever seen a hood like that on one of those Looks like it was originally the same green as my plymouth

When I was doing exhaust noise certs, adrenalin r was the muffler of choice to actually reduce noise while still flowing well. A couple of ported rotaries managed to pass with twin primary pipes with 2 resonators in each, merge before the diff then a big single muffler out the back

Technically would need cert if you put a spacer on top of the strut @AllTorque s idea is better but just make sure the spring has coil clearance at full compression so your mate doesnt end up with coil bind issues
