hmmm very nice. is that your one? what kind of muffler/resonater etc setup are/where u running?

sweet thanks man. i hear of people running it under the diff instead of up and over it? does this just reduce resistance?

hey all. im thinking of gettin the complete exhaust system replaced on the hunter to let things breath a bit better. what size pipe should i look at getting? at the mo its just standard engine (1725cc). i dont quite get the whole back pressure thing but i know that bigger is not always better. i was thinking maybe 1.75" or 2"? that sound about right? also, how much should i expect to be paying for a full system? cheers

hmmm switch doesnt do anything....well nothing noticible anyway....

well it all goes and lights up when the keys are turned, does a sweet light up full rev swing at first which its aws lol. but it says that im reavving to 8500.....which it shouldnt be lol so yeh is trhere anything that i should check that causes this? would it mater if i got the wires on the coil around the wrong way? it also has a switch on the back with 3 settings, would this be 4, 6 , 8 cylinder? it has no markings

hmm theres only 3 wires....ill wire it up and see what happens lol

hey guys, just picked up a tacho for the hunter. its got 3 wires, red black and green and was just wondering if anyone could let me know which goes where? ive had a look around, and the best ive got is red goes to positive coil, green negative side, and balck ground. does this sound right? thought one of them would be lights...brand name is swoosh if that matters any ideas?

hmmm yeh i spose i thort it would be more straight foward, but after some research, i can the the costs climbing way to high for me. thanks for all the tips, so for now i think ill just make it look cool lol.

yeh ca18 turbed would be mint. yeh ive seen a few v8 avengers and yeh they r similar. but my budgets not that big hahaha

yeh ive searched a bit but hunters arnt the most commen so yeh lol. ill keep searching tho. just hoping someone knows someone lol

hmmm maybe something more mainstream so that parts are easier to find. i want to slowly work it so yeh, something commen that i can get cheap and get cheap parts

hey all. thinking about doing an engine swap for the hunter.....and just wondering if anyone has done or knows someone whos has put something else in one? any thoughts one what would be an easy swap? was thinking perhaps a ca18. i want something that i can get hold of cheaply and that is easy to get parts for. im a student so yeh im poor lol so yeh, any help would be great cheers

ill have a look at it when i get some time and sort out what needs doing....myt get back to u lol

Unless you own a Gemini where the exhaust is mounted from the head and around the diff. /let that shit scrape and make sparks, far cooler etc. haha yeh but i dont wana be a beached whale when im carrying all my lady friends around, stranded on the speed bumps...... "your heaps beached'

haha thanks for the motivational words!!! can anyone recomend a dcent place in chch that wont rip me off?

hey all. well after lowering the hunter, the mid section of the exhaust pipe, ie under the middle of the car looking from the side, is stupidly close to the ground, and scrapes over speed bumps. its not very fixed so if u reach under you can just lift it up closer to the car, which is where i want it to be. so what would be the best remedy? weld an extra hanger to the bottom of the car? cheers

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!! haha the centre section exhaust hangs real low and scrapes over speedbumps etc so i thnk ill have to attach another hanger somewhere to get it closer to the body quite like one ^^^ this is my first go a panel work, think i didnt do toooo bad, so went from this... to this..... just waiting for the paint to arive, then can hopefully get that done

fuck this thread is getting boring without pics lol, ill get some tomoro. lowerd the fron today, so its lowerd 50mm rear and 60mm at the front. looks fucking sweet i rekon. next step is paint!!! hopefully ill get time to do that next week!!! then i think ill have to leave it alone for a while cause i have no money lol

well ive brought the paint for it kinda a greeny/blue metallic. should look prety hot. still tryna sort out the front springs......anyone know any springs with 110 internal diameter? ive been told mk2 escort ones may fit...anyone got any lying around they could mesure for me? chur

have put two inch blocks in the back, and have the front springs out, trying to find some suitable replacements, or ill just get them compressed. have decided on what colour im going to paint it, im guna try get a half decent match to the original colour, so that the door jams, inside of bonnet and boot etc are the same colour as the outside. so next step is to get some paint!!! also in the process of painting the steelies white, which is turing out to be a bit harder than i thort lol.

haha cheers man, im trying to get measurements of the dude so yeh ill see what happens. theres a guy on trademe with a sweet hunter for sale and i asked him bout his front springs, and they are from a holden....im tryna get mmore info off him

yeh im trying to get hold of some ae86 onesd. cheers

hey all. does anyone know where i can find the dimensions of various vehicles springs? im looking to replace the front ones in my hunter with some shorter ones, and was hoping there was a way i can just look up some that have the same internal diamter (110mm), and then find the length i need. any help would be great thanks.

got it!! just used some vice grips. cheers guys

right...haha. ive run into trouble trying to loosen the big nut on the top of the strut. when i apply force on it, the thin rod of the shock in the stut just spins around, so i cant get the nut undone. should i just hold onto this bit with a pipewrench and yeh...haha or is there something im doing wrong? cheers
