The 1.6 accord engine goes straight in afaik, i got one a couple years back for $500 with the 1.6 and 5 speed in it. Was pretty scary on the gravel.

It was the white one at last years jap meet in albany- looking much better than when i owned it.

Super easy to work on also, would trade again

Just finished and wof'ed my car last night. Pretty gutted i missed this meet it looked awesome.

whats the date for the next i might just make it before i move to welly

15th?

haha you beat me bzg

spray some carb clean over it and check for vacuum leaks

leaking inlet manifold gasket?

autostop can do it also

robinson instruments in auck city do speedo cables so also may have the gear to make a throttle cable.

i asked a japanese buddy to get me one and he pretty much pissed hiself laughing saying jaf is like AA stands for Japanese Anal Fuck hahaha.

i still want one though

where do you get the horn buttons with the old toyota logo?

This stuff is good they sell it at ACL out west

Ideally you want an air gap between the source of the heat and the shield, and another air gap between the shield and whatever it is protecting.

It's not cheap, but these flexible sheets are brilliant.

It may be just a stuck or gummed up ring you could try a engine flush and/or one of these upper cylinder cleaner in a can things.

choice.

fyi the book said my bearing was supposed to be a 6201 but turned out to be a 6001

yea thats awesome

20ml per litre in the gearbox according to my spec sheet.

they also have a fuel system cleaner that id be keen to try.

proma is the shit when you want to sell a shitty old lancer/galant etc

ive got a gearbox sitting at work that we put gear up into years ago (motor up variant)

its an nze121 corolla box

it actually started to corrode the gears and it hasnt stopped, the box is fucked and it just keeps eating away at the chroming on the gears. nasty shit.

about the additives-

some of the oil stop leaks are designed to 'revitalise' the seals, ie make them swell up like when you run oil through heater hose or some such.

also lifter quiet is like engine flush so it dissolves build up in hydraulic lifters but this will in turn make most engines noisier by thinning out the oil.

Proma MBL8 is the business though, will even get you a few more months out of a completely rooted gearbox.

Series six flywheel is for pull type clutch i think so may not work.

i used all series 4 parts in my s5.

Some are negative switched so check polarity.

i think a 2pin toggle switch would be the go man should be resonably straight forward once you get into it with a test light.

I did this few years ago.

made a mount same as shizzle says, bit of square bar welded to the original crossmember

auto ecu worked fine left in neutral

driveshaft was different.

everything else was straight forward, pretty easy conversion

or cam/ crank oil seal

If the bilstiens have floating type alloy spring seats you could always get circlip groves cut lower in the shock body and just have it slammed with the factory springs?

progressive spings are a good idea as they will be soft unless fully laden.

i believe a lot of euros have very long springs with thick wire diameter but tons of coils. more coils is softer but thicker wire is firmer.

autolign can help the boys in the workshop know their shit i worked there about a year ago.
