these breakers are really good and fit into fuse holders, but they will rape you with US$80 shipping, if you know someone in the states that could get them then ship them onto you might be a good option especially with the exchange rate.

Edit: they are also auto resetting.

Series 1

also keen for details on tripple carb manifold if Cobranz passes on them

I'v used these 120A connectors in a high current situation

Not on a car but they have been used on hundreds of competition robots that run 120A breakers and its not uncommon for the current to surge to a couple hundred amps with no ill effects (for the connectors anyway) so i would say they would be more than sufficient for a car.

If your after those plugs ask their called Anderson connectors can get them in varying amperage ratings and everywhere has them, I even saw them at Supercheap today.

Brought some alloys today same size/offset as standard rims but lest rusty chrome and more polish-able

^^^ what he said, spend the money on new slave cylinders etc get it all nice factory spec and drums will be fine for the rear, only advantage of disk breaks is maybe the slightly easier maintenance (changing pads etc) they will be fine for stopping power in a lot of circumstances.

So not much has happened in a while i have taken all of the loom out of the car and now started on the body work. Fiberglass bodies are great for withstanding harsh environments however they are a pain in the ass to paint, its times like these I wish that I could have a steel bodied car, and just splash some paint stripper around/ crack out the orbital sander.

I hate sanding

and for lolz

have to stay hydrated home brew feijoa cider

For a car with a separate body and chassis (in this case a fibreglass body) am I allowed to either weld in or bolt in a radiator/front body support like in this picture( highlighted in red) without having to get a cert.

The car originally had a front steel support but is very badly designed and very heavy, i would much prefer to make up a light tube frame design if i could get away without a cert.

Cheers.

I have 3 sets of doors and one spare quarter light and frame (however i can't remember what side) so i'm sure we could sort something out, . for the bumpers i have one set in good enough condition to be presentable after a quick polish, although I did consider running with black bumpers before i had my decent set. For lowering there are several options, adjustable platform coil-overs are what a lot of the guys in the UK use, or you can do some swapping around of the lower wishbones (never seen this done but there is a write up on the net somewhere about it, basically involves swapping parts from left-right and upside down) to drop it a little in the front, the way i have seen in person is to make up spacer plates that space the shock mount lower on the bottom wishbone and to take the upper wishbone bracket that bolts to the uprights, and bolt the bottom 2 bolts in the top 2 holes and create new top mounting holes for the bracket - this will get the tyre right up in the guard. For the rear, either shorter shocks and springs or get the welder out and lower the shock mounting position on the diff, be careful though as if you go quite low in the rear you may need to make a plate up that bolts to the diff and has a lower set of mounting holes for the watts linkage, not too hard to do but just something to be mindful of.

-oh, where are you located?

Okay cheers will have a play, hopefully its an easy fix.

Have re checked engine, it is in fact a 4g63 -2L. He also says that the battery hasn't been disconnected for quite some time and was behaving fine in the interim. However it may of been disconnected at the workshop when the distributor was replaced, before replacement of the distributor it wouldn't start and now it just idles badly and stalls.

ill get him to re check what engine it is, From what i have heard it just broke down on the side of the road one day while driving along, he took it to a mechanic and got told that he needed a replacement distributor which he has shelled out $400 for.

Hi, my mate has a 1994 mitsubishi chariot mx which is having some issues, it refuses to idle when he first starts it up and then will randomly stall. I should also mention the idle is low and erratic, does this sound like at TPS issue? and if so what would be the best course of action, are they fixable or do you need to replace them?

Cheers, Tim.

Very cool and at least I can say the supercharger still ended up in something 6 cylinder and fibreglass

If you are considering this to get another overdrive gear for economy (going by your other thread) I think you will be quite disappointed the 6 speed's 5th gear is a 1:1 ratio, like a conventional 5 speed's 4th gear, here are the ratios;

IS200 ratios(according to Google):

Gearing

1st - 3.106

2nd - 2.175

3rd - 1.585

4th - 1.223

5th - 1.000

6th - 0.869

W57 (according to google):

1st - 3.285

2nd - 1.894

3rd - 1.275

4th - 1.000

5th - 0.861

tacho set to 6cyl?

tacho set to 6cyl?

This seems very likely as the engine would in reality be doing 6k RPM witch seems reasonable for a redline.

Sorry yea ill call in to the burger fuel meet to pick it up, have no old ride that is anywhere near going unfortunately so will have to take some boring as hell daily.

depending on the ratio if its 2:1 you could use a cambelt and associated pulleys, this was how my m90 was set up, there cheap as chips.

Reliant FW7 prototype, mid engined using their own 750cc twin carb engine, pre-dated X1/9 by a couple of years.

Reliant FW11 (aka SE7) 1977

Looks familiar?

Cheers, I quite like it. I think matte paint on a fibreglass car is a good idea, no paint will last very well and it will make for easy touch ups.

Seems to include the turbo. I think the auction was stating his car sold less the turbo set up hence why its for sale.

Hi could someone please photoshop a paint colour i have been thinking about,

This;

With a matte copper paint job like this,

Thanks.
