If he got offered an apprenticeship there why would he still be a checkout bitch?

that is not a fair statement at all!!!

I mean, for all you know this guy could be a shelf stacker, deli worker OR a cabbage cutter!

sweet some guy at work (newworld)

probably not the best place to get automotive advice.

I vote that it doesn't matter one noticeable jot.

Forget about MR2 powersteer, too complicated and too much fucking around.

I say for starters just loop the PS lines and work on the critical bits to get it going!

Although, if you are a sucker for punishment I do have an SW20 that I'm planning on parting out at some point when I'm less lazy.

google it. lots of DIY articles showing how it's done.

thanks guys. great info

is the chevette related to the Gemini?

making engine mounts myself is no problem. it's just I really cbf doing everything from scratch. if a 308 bolts to the stock Gemini box with right bell housing and all I have to do is build mounts... that's fuckin perfect. I don't want to go down the path of moving firewall etc etc just yet. iv been there and it was not fun ( although this was before I became a rig welding fiend)

being able to keep the stock interior ur modified would be very nice.

Mmm seems a lot more involved then i want it to be. I was thinking of partial assistance from the pump by making it run one speed the whole time.

it can't be that bad- its supposed to be very commonly done on hot rods with exposed motors etc.

Pity Lingling isn't here anymore, I heard he could get complete ones for $600

I have heard that the oil control rings on Blacktops aren't that great/they all use oil, so you would be better off rebuilding it anyway.

what happened to lingling? I actually felt bad when I realized he wasn't posting

yes, I love tq. its my new thing.

I don't want anything injected.

Tomorrow/todays my day off so will give this a good looking to.

Anyone know where i might be able to source a electrical powersteering pump?

sw20 mr2 / trademe

I like the sunbird idea. il look into it

r100. I just did a search and had a look at your Gemini and vega projects. that wagon is awesome! I'd love to own something like that

I take back what I said. the right escort or Capri might suit. do like the Gemini still though

mk1 cortinas are all good tho!

t- buckets aren't my thing. neither are fords. I have a falcon but only because it was a good cheap daily and available when I needed it

thanks dude. actually have found a place that has done a few conversions. hope they can sell me mounts.

anyone got any ideas on what project I could buy that takes 350 engines relatively easy?

vegas are an option

Buy Jase's one - in Hamilton even..

Or buy my Commy.

iv already pmd jase. saw his on tm but can't find it now

and no. iv done jappas and twincams. it's time for something different.

I had the pleasure of driving a pretty light car with warm 350 and it blew my mind.

geminis are cheap, different, light, relatively small and I think conversion kits are available. I wanted an 80's commie but everyone's got those these days.

since discovering the fact Holden sold them and 350s go in sweet they seem fuckin cool/ I want one.

please post sweet pics of the cars so I can convince myself it's a good idea/ convince the mrs

you can use your ballsack if required but it's prob not advised.

fuck I must have had a good run- 12 years of driving and the most iv done is crack a tail light

get someone to machine up an adaptor to fit between the turbo and the manifold. make adaptor wedge shaped so that the turbo rotates slightly anti clockwise. thus swings the turbo closer to the engine. so, fat side of the wedge adaptor will be on the left in the pic. then bore a hole in the fat side of the wedge and drill/tap holes to bolt two bolt waste gate directly to adaptor so it's nice and compact.

I wonder if that makes sense

what's wrong with newtech?

I know a guy here in hams that had an 86 with Atlantic 4age in it. the thing got parted out I believe
