  1. most cooling systems (if not all post 1970) can comfortably handle 14psi pressure
  2. Solution = 4 link with coil overs TUFF KTHXBAI
  3. Nice MS Paint skills auw. The purpose of the diff nose pointing down like that is to reduce axle tramp on acceleration. I guess it could result in an increased tendancy to skip on decelleration but I would need to think about it for three or four months. Filthyone - you have never said if is this a new problem or an issue since the car was built? by also having a 2 link to the bottom of the diff which will prevent axle tramp on acceleration plus excessive pinion angle down would make it 10 times worse on decelration would it not? ^ genuine question I am not trying to present that as a fact.
  4. who on old school would have a pacemaker?
  5. remove the HT lead from the coil and stick your finger in the end of the coil and the other hand onto the engine block - then get a friend to try and start the car - if it works - a little red light on the firewall will come on
  6. Looking at the photo I would check the alignment between the vertical centre of the diff flange half of the UJ and the vertical centre of the g/box output half of the UJ. It looks like you have the diff nose tilting downwards and I would guess the back of your gearbox tilts downwards as well? What you need is those 2 angles as close together as possible when the suspension is in its neutral position. (sitting on the ground and settled) check out my sweeeet MS paint skeels
  7. The official wagoneer term is "wagon time" when cruising isnt it? I just had to get the engine noise out, its a tuff comprimise. I reckon the XM looks pretty sweet with that rake. Dont want some 5 slots do you Manu? Not if i tax them first you wont. im still a learner but "wagon time" is just a generic term for however long it takes to do something in your wagon. Generally it is 2 to 4 times longer than sedan time. In a wagon you need time to roll smokes, drink piss, sit and take a slow look at a fast world etc. Cruising slow is all about the low and slow steeze. Looking shady and doing it in style mang. you need to learn to go slow bro.
  8. is that the one with the hotties? Yeah na ... Harbour view 30 odd steps to the shops / pizza hutt hmmmm pizza I think you will find that there is pizza hut, hells pizza and dominos pizza all in the same shopping complex not to mention a shitty wok and dairy.. Russel is going to live on junk food - woot woot
  9. ahh - many clothelines to the face and exploding eggs in mirowaves at 123 Pembroke.. good times
  10. Ah yes RScort and his hefty right foot - Lee! stay OFF the gas - brakes "ON" when cruising - udderwise you go past the girls too fast and we don't get to see their fancy legs..
  11. Would love to but have a hot chicks birthday to go to - the chick that won the race over the fence last cruise.. the week after sounds good or maybe an OS OTP over Queens B-day weekend in Wellington??

  15. South Pacific Rewinders in AK are GC's - go see Bruce Gore the owner adn tell him Chris from NZBus sent you to get a sweet deal
  16. Those riyums just blow the paint off anything else that dares be brown and cool...And I can confirm that van has been christened in more ways than one - and some things twice...
  17. nope ADO16 with alternators have external regulators
  18. or you could use Pinkies - that has endless chain already setup - but I guess that means towing the car into town..
  19. yes true - but will need to check if you need reg also - plenty of sites out there will give you the necessary info to change from gen to alt. It is NOT just a straight bolt over but it is very easy to do.
  20. mine has an alternator - you can change your generator to an alternator very easily..
  21. I had boom sounds in my austin - standy alternator was sweet - You can buy brand new ones from Pan Pacific - cost about $120 from memory
  22. Checked my shit last night and Na aint go no jumper leads in there. Sorry bro. Check with durty perhaps. He may have picked them up when he have joe a sweet battery.
