count me in

so who wants to give me directions coming from matamata, bear in mind I dont know hams at all

fingers crossed will make it to this one lol

I'm assuming you mean an automatic with the selector on the column, but sounds like you've got a dicky inhibitor switch, pretty common problem on older cars

I'm thinking I'll just change to mechanical advance rather than have it running like shit at different points

As i said in the project thread I'm just doing it for fun and dont want to gain mega hp, but yeah I'm not sure how to get around the advance issue, unless changing dizzy would be the way to go, but then what to?

sorry for the high jack but I've just brought an sc12 for the hq and am wondering if i'm best to run it draw through or blow through and what sorta carb I'm gunna need to run

have had a few overheating issues but hopefully thats all sorted now, Am now looking at supercharging her, just for fun, not wanting serious power or anything and yes I know it;d be better just to drop in a v8 but I reckon a supercharged 202 would be lush, I've got an sc12 on its way, but any advice on what to do or not to do would be sweet, I have a rough plan but suggestions would be mint

keen to make the trip up for it, however will no doubt get lost

I took the holden from matamata to napier on friday, she overheated twice on the way down, so flushed the radiator and block with the garden hose, drove it, still dumped all its water out the overflow, then noticed a lil steam from the exhaust but no water on dipstick and thought head gasket so dropped a cylinder head sealer in as a temporary fix, still over heated probably quicker than before i have checked the water pump is ok, gave the radiator another flush and got a fair bit of crap out of it and it seems to drive ok but lost a lil bit of water so am still wondering if its the head gasket. what do you guys reckon??

well she's all legal as of today,so will now definately be making the trip home on friday night for meanee swapmett

i've been using a thing called soft seal, seems to work mint, however I dunno what its worth or where you get it, I get it through my old man

so I took her for a wof the other day, failed on a tie rod end, a piece of fuel line that needs replacing, some surface rust on the brake lines and some surface rust on the firewall/top of the bulk head so nothing major or expensive which I'm pretty stoked about. I'd like go to an electric ignition and bigger coil but I'm not sure what to use, would a dizzy out of a blue motor do it?? and what sort of coil would be a good one to go to?

yeah mate the dx stays mainly cause its reliable as anything and I'd miss having a wagon for too many reasons

^^ Do this. Jason is probably the truest bogan out of the whole oldschool community. cheers mate will take that as a compliment

it has extractors and a full exhaust not exactly sure what size but would be around 2 inch, what sort of electric ignition would be the go?

What sorta carb would be a good upgrade from the standard? also what sorta stuff would you guys be doing with the motor after I've done the usual oil change etc

hopefully should have a wof by the end of the week, am thinking of trying to get a bit more go out of the motor even though it already goes bloody well, the old owner said he thought it had a lumpy cam etc so wouldn't mind figuring out what else its had.

Picked her up after beach hop, ran sweet all the way except for over heating, but I'm assuming thats because some had put the wrong radiator cap on it. Have now got the headlights going and all indicators except one, just need to bolt down the battery, fix a bit of rust and adjust the hand brake before I go and see Mr warrant man

lol, you can make a show on me if you like, i drive a matt black hq, drink lion red, love metal and am an apprentice panel beater

have just brought this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =278711505 no major plans yet except lower/maybe bogan rake Discuss viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22387

I'll be leaving from matamata sometime after work on thursday, was just thinking if you guys were all going together I'd coinicde when I leave to meet up with you guys

are you guys convoying down? if so what time will you be expecting to be going through tirau?

theres no certainty yet but matamata panelworks is giving me a 2 week trail and if I'm lucky I'll be the new panel apprentice, but nothing certain yet, I'll be startin the trail on the 8th so will be keen to meet people etc in that time. and its ok about the bogan thing I'm sure I'll fit in well haha
