  8. Hi all ive just wired up a linkplus v14 into my racecar with its new motor, trying to tie up the loose ends/wires. it says it runs a low level tacho of the tacho output, i hav an autometer tacho in it now which i ran with the old engine with a single coil and dizzy, now it has subaru coilpack running wasted spark so i cant just run of coil negative. how do people get around this or where can i buy a low level tacho? Cheers
  9. KY and Lowlancer- when i was building it all the other ones were red so i thought id do something a bit different. and when i was 4 my dad had one the same in yellow and it was the coolest thing around when you 4. Testament- next post is gonna be suspension and brakes, they are pretty trick. just gotta get some pics of it. TDS- yup all the same car, dodgy drag queen outfit was a piss take of a very dodgy may madness a while ago haha. it got removed after a couple of seasons because it was deemed too offensive by one of the race organisers haha
  10. a guy i know whos putting a 3.0 alfa v6 in the back of a alfasud like mine, all he did was remove the cage and balls form the original fwd cvs and machined most of the meat off the sides of the cv thats not needed anymore. You need this part because it holds the wheel bearing together and stops the hub flying off when the wheel bearing collapses, ive seen this happen haha
  11. so when the car was back from being caged i sent it away to a family friend to paint, along with my acid dipped gaurds, bonnet and doors. when i got it back my eyes hurt for a while, its a very bright yellow! i got it back and pretty quickly it went back together, made lexan windows all round except the windscreen, new door panelling, modified the steel dash by cutting the bottom half of it off, and rewired the whole car. at this point all it needed was running gear. So i dismantled the supposedly "rebuilt" engine to check it over and found it was pretty well fucked and needed new rings, a hone, new big ends, gudgeon bushes,main bearings and thrust washers. all 8 exhaust valve guides were well over their limit too so these were replaced. i got the engine back and re assembeld it myself to the point where i had to fit the oil pump, which also drives the dizzy. The original gears in it were so worn that they had to be replaced, problem was no new parts are available for these oil pumps and new pumps are also no longer available. so i spent around 5 months searching all over the world to find a new pump, nobody had one at any price. so i ended up pulling a second hand pump out of very late 8v 1.7 ie 33 which has the same high flow oil pump as the 16vs. and getting that as good as i could get it with out making new gears. it still wasnt the best but i wanted the car to go. as luck would have it a brand new pump that had only done 10 laps of taupo came up for sale at a rediculusly cheap price, so thats sitting on the shelf waiting to be fitted. The motor was then fully assembeld and fitted to the car And started after i replaced the seized fuel pump. Gearbox is the oringinal Sprint veloce close ratio box with 3.9 FD which was rebuilt not long before i bought the car.
  12. while the car was away being caged (told the guy i wasnt in a hurry) i got offered this through the AROCNZ and who was i to refuse 1200 for a car that was selling for 3-4k at the time, problem was rust so i fixed the rust and got a wof and reg and drove it for 3 months then this happened.. Which made the descision pretty easy, instead of the hot 125hp 1500cc motor i planned to put in it, id take the engine, loom, factory quad throttles etc out of the 33 and fit it to the sprint and have a cheap and easy 140hp, so i did
  13. ^ i should have got a pic of the car in its DRGRCR livery haha
