Hey I know nothing about mitsi's but flat mate needs to replace engine in his L300, its a 1990 with a 4g63, apparntly has a side dizzy? anyone know which cars engines can be stolen from? or where to source a decent cheapish replacement engine? Thanks

you need a bender that pulls the tube around a mandrel, I'm guessing you have the typr that pushes a mandrel into the the pipe and is held on either end?/that type of bender always = crush central

will be attending

Mine is also out, id say by about 20mm. Is going to make good fitment/wider wheels to look good a touch harder

this strong |_______________| sorry back to your actual helpful posts now!

hrmm, first I heard and deal with a certifier a fair bit, but anything is possible. I doubt they'll be able to make people with a cert change back though! I also can't see why they would make it so you can't sort a cert for them, at least this way people are certing a safe change. People will just use dodgey suspension if what ever they have will get them stickerd, if there isnt a safe alternative that can make it legit they'll just go the cheaper/incorrect way..?

adjusties are eaily certed if you have over 100mm ground clearnce and the suspension is bolt parts

theres a sweet thread allan made on making your own adjusties, you should have a read of that!

1mm IMO would be the way to go.

Holly shit 1.6 steel are you Spartacus? I couldn't tin snip through 1.6 steel and ive been using tin snips most days for about 6 years Some people use .8 if there not going to be hammer and filing there work I prefer 1mm and 1.2 would be the absolute maximum I would ever reccomend. as far as welding goes people weld .8 no problem. The workshop im in atm we use 1mm pretty much for everything - as said above the stuff we use zinc coated but this is the first place ive been that uses it...

cool, good luck- loved mk2s

they should remove easily enough, from memory the bottom has a smaller lip than the top so lift from the bottom around the gutter, a flat screw driver is al you need, start lifting the bottom lip off from the body from one end once it starts coming off dont pull it at all just keep easing the bottom lip off all the way - this applies to the roof/ gutters How are the door top chromes attached? might be clips? can be pushed from inside of the door?

I can pick up and hold onto till someone can transport - im in north wellington

serious lol factor!

What time sat? wouldn't mind going down for a look if you guys are still going once ive finished work

lol I have no idea who asked for smoke? maybe it was just the voice in your head egging you on again? you're cars engine is all factory isn't it?

there was indeed enough smoke for use, thanks.

c u thursday!

quick check dizzy bolt tight, dizzy timing moved? more likly than the chain slipped but nothing is impossible!

Sorry I didn't read the carb squirting as a problem i read it as the carb was squirting properly, if you fill the carb and disconnect the fuel pump, and crank it over till it uses the gas see if it will rinf got a few seconds? maybe carb is flooding and overfilling float?

when you say you check lead, plugs and coild, you checked for spark at all three? and all are good? re check yours dizzy cap.. lil cracks cause major issues to the point you cant drive a car!

C section the chassis into the cabinets/hide C section, bags and compressor in cabinets under sink etc, run on bags, have it so it can lay chassis at park up.

no sorry parts car has door mirrors/fails

I have a 130 parts car, I can probably get the dash out within the next week and photo for you if your interested?

Did you take it for a drive? went ok? plan would be I have mk1 escort estate plates- I would be able to get wof'd etc without to much hassel on my plates and daily till my mk1 is finished Think it would be running well enuf for that?
