do a bit of googling on how to put a 4age in diagnotic mode then

Very straight forward. you will need a 12point 10mm deep socket to get the head bolts out and thats about it. Valve stem seals complicate matters a bit but not hard to do. If it has not been overheated just bang a gasket only on there and see if thatl sort it. PM me for parts if you want.

fuck could even be wheel balance or tyres. only while in gear?

A bp4 plug is really hot, nothing much would run over a 5, turbos usually run 6 heat range.

Narva do them so should be cheap enough through repco/ partmaster etc

Hey Just wanted to know what the deal is with the conversion from foot to hand brake. Some say that you just get the hand lever and bang it in but what about the cable right back to the rear wheels? do i need this too or is there a joiner behind the lever? its a bit hard to see above the tranny. Ive done manual swaps before but not the handbrake part and i want to do my conversion in one hit once ive got all the bits together. On a side note, anyone got a clutch pedal or suitable handbrake? I have Bell, cylinders, W55 box and flywheel so far. Cheers

These are awesome cars, mate had one a couple years back with st185 running gear in it. Felt like it literally kicked you in the back when you dropped second.

Choice. How does it go with th manual 1g? i just got a box for mine. are you keeping the towbar?

The point about tightening the bolts at ride height is important.

random google, but thats the comp i have, its all adjustable etc and pulled my 16v smallport head apart no worries.

iv got a good one mate edit Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The medium is fine and any good quality filter will have a built in pressure bypass andd anti return valve so itl be sweet.

Golf = Sex. What are those wheels?

Some spring tips i picked up working for autolign. May be obvious to some, whatever. -More coils = softer -Wire diameter changes ride height by approx 30mm per mm of extra spring wire thickness. Therefore a 10 coil 12mm spring is soft as shit while a 5 coil 15mm wire would suit the likes of a 4wd. Progressive is when some coils are bunched together, as they are closer they are softer and will collapse when the car is on the ground allowing the remaining 3ish coils of the spring to load up when heavier with mates in car etc. -Progressions all pile up so 3x coils progressive takes up 30-35mm of space My suggestion is find a spring which is slightly longer but thinner in wire by a mm or two, something like 5-6 coils.

Why not just ring NZ Gaskets, ACL or STA. They all sell replacement aftermarket head bolts pretty cheap. Thats gotta be better than re-using old ones.

Glad it went to a good home. Advice as above^^

Take flywheel into BNT or Partmaster etc and just get a standard kit. should be under 200 just say you work for "abc" workshop and ask for trade. you dont need better than standard for a street car and if you pay 500 plus for heavy duty all you get is a stronger pressure plate. Clutch Industries in auckland is good but sort your facts before calling places like that as if you sound like you dont know what your doing youll pay for it.

PM me if you want some i can get you a price if they are in my books.

Real nice colour. I like

Replace the UJs yourself they are cheap anyway and then get it balanced by a driveshaft shop. Im thinking it wont have a hanger bearing but if it does it could be that also.

Cheers Al, think iv got it sussed now.

So Nah?

Can anyone give me a definitive answer on whether a steel case W50 is compatible with a 1g bellhousing? Google just confuses me more, half yes/no.

But it will work without.
