your cars get such horrible fuel economy

and yeah the Subaru Turbo 2 L is my best achiever so far that I bought & 100% throttled around the track for most of its time with me LOL

also yeah the Commy aint running right either, get around 300km per tank before it starts cutting out (45-50L)

done leads & plugs might be time to pull the module out under the coils etc

yeah

only one long trip for the Datto in last tank (Dvk > Waipuk & back)

otherwise work is aprox 1.1 km away from Home (old Tiny home of 10 years)

and for most of this year its been 4 minutes drive (moved house) so always cold / short bursts to 50 kph etc

even before that was over the Saddle to the Wifes) last 4 or 5 years runnings

chur : yeah auto might need a freshen up too (or binning)

need to get it running right first

Was waiting for this result before I went further

that's 1x tank on the Franken Carb thats still not running right (still runs "flat" & coughs and very poor acceleration)

from the previous couple Tank stats

as it came to us (shitty China carb with poked Accel pump seal

Spare Carb has arrived from China

Still havnt got around to swapping Jets into the current franken Carb (Already has a China Body in it with the OEM carb top on it)

and still running "Flat" with coughs so I know it isnt right

least now I have a 'spare' before I go Barry'ing into the guts of this & end up with another Lawn ornament

hah yeah & it's about right, not seen them go for much less lately

the wagon sold for a bit more that the reserve too (Had a Toyota 5 Speed)

"we" keep a bit of a thread on Avenger's that pop up for sale on the Barry Avenger Forums here :

http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=189.450

So we did a shuffle on the weekend

Yeah I acquired a Blue one that's been shed stored since 1997, figured it was the second Best one I have so deserved a shed spot

and OFC the Wifes Datsun too

now to start piling boxes on all of them!

Future Barn Find in the making

Going

GOING

GONE for another 20 years

Pro's & cons with both designs (Lifter vs Dolly) from a 1st time user

worked floorlessly (yeah I have good con'crete thanks

jacking up & sliding Dollies into position was about the same effort as jacking up the lifters & both store well under the target vehicle

which moved almost effortless'ly on the castors

if anything the Dolly's : as per design are simpler, only one wheel didn't want to swivel so be came a dragger (found it while I was assembling & thought a the time this might be interesting) something catching in the casting or bearings

Lifters are cool toy just the fact you need to manually 'expand' them past the tire was a chore & the Slide grease was a not-so-pleasant surprise

TL: DR summary?

bought myself a Xmas Pressy's & moved stuff & could have done it with 2x the $75 sets + Jack

no bending or Buckling like @nzed's ones & they look exactly the same (shitty / buckled fold line in the curve looks like the trademark of these)

they showed up this arvo

well worn Verniers say 3mm

lets play car Tetris on the weekend!

$91 delivered if anyone's still following

+ the $230 for the Mech-pro's = a $320 solution to try & shuffle stuff

chur sorry for spam : was not the intention

I just saw something that could use attention & notified the 'authorities' ie *555'd it if you will

then got told to sort it myself / post it in discussion thread (or third option to PM rep) so I have

always fun re explaining yourself twice aye

feel free to purge my posts from this thread if there's the option to delete

happy meet & when a bunch of 4x140 Subaru's show up you'll know who to blame

should see the junk I get on ClubSUB's reports then, people think admin are the police

just trying to help / keep the place tidy & up to date

Reported

I am pedantic like that & just how it's displayed

reports goto to all admin & mods / reps usually

would take 3x clicks to add 2019

well out of my zone & just an outsiders Observation but could ya pop the 'year' on the CHCH Meat details @- i5oogt -

looks like this at the moment 

& I was looking for area info to pass onto the OS Subaru community & wasn't initially obvious if that was 2013 or 2019 info 

I got told off for reporting the post, figured admins may have helped too & reps would've seen my message

so....

c'mon!

cringe please

Well that's been robbing HP for longer than it needed to

a Cheap China had already been installed, not to sure what was wrong with the OEM carb so we've frankenstiened both together (top off the Hitachi & body stayed in place

seems to go heaps better for now!

that's the Accelerator Pump seal btw, scary pulling out in traffic, anything below 40kph was walking pace!

I tried a can of Carb cleaner, draining fuel (in case of water) & still have my eye on the Black Friday deals for a complete carb

cnc repairman

I'm one of those too scared to touch mine & its compelte with a Green eye'd Screen hah (which has ahd to be re-flowed at least once)

Looks like more of a Troy to me

aside from that a GIS for Solex Downdraught (draft) did not reveal any promising results sorry!

Let's have a burger see you in about an hour 

1st full tank of gas Used & stats collected (see my Sig for the Fuelley)

given her the once over, then twice for good measure (and the car too)

who is Niles?

(appears to be OEM on the switch gear / part number?

also Re-sealed Front & Back Windscreen and found a few more spots of rust to attend to

attempted to remove Dash to remove Radio : no dice

so have spent a few hours on the Dat 1200 Wiki site : http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=History_of_Datsun_1200

learnt a few things such as potential for water in the carb (Bad running / stalling)

and how to remove the Choke button to get dash out

found the Spare steering wheels for the Avenger & Subaru don't suit the Spline

and the rear headrests from the Gravel Express fit the  Front Seats  (no pic : they ugly grey / black & mismatch need reupholstering)

First Clean and Car Show today (and yep thats a Bike Summit Flag on the Datto's ANtenna from 2012, just need to find My aerial & pop another flag I have horded on it matchy)
