Yea i wasnt holding out much hope finding original ones, these look semi close though http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=752718749

Sweet, i had planned on fitting some fender mirrors to it anyway, just makes it a little more fitting Any thing else you can notice or tell me about it haha?

Forgive my ignorance but if it does turn out to be a Savanna what does that mean, is it just a naming convention like Cedric/Gloria?

Nothing much to see really, its not all chromed up and shiny....will upload one in the weekend when better wheather

I may or may not have "accidentally got the wheels to spin last night

Havent really made to many plans for it Once its Reg/Wofd, perhaps getting a set of SSR MkII's or similar...though not very many options in 4x110

Thought i better start a project thread for my latest toy... Its a 1980 Series 1 RX7 SA22C Brought it off one of my mates who has owned for 6+ years, he had lost interest in the car scene Has barely seen the road in the 6 years that he has owned it..so i plan to changed that Brought the car on Saturday with a non working clutch, luckily we live right next door to each other so just pushed it over.. Washed of the thick layer of dust and gave it a vacuum to see what i was working, over all its in pretty good condition, few little pieces missing but the important parts are there... Found a little bit of rust in the doors and some surface rust in other places but nothing to major... Ended up fixing the clutch on the Sunday, charged the battery and went for a spin last night..reminds me of a hopped up 2 stroke dirt bike (Cars running a 12a J-port) Need to do a few things for a WOF Bleed Brakes Fix some rust Buy some bulbs Hope for the best Discussion //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/44345-d1rty6s-1980-rx7-rice-rocket/

Update!!! Car was found this morning up the cashmere hills! appears everything is still there! cops are appartly going to come finger print Cheers Nathan

Cheers man, cant believe my luck! i had my Van stolen around this time last year....

So my luck continues!!! This was stolen last night Registration IK494 Stolen From Hoon Hay, Christchurch Please contact the Police or 0277365080 with any information Had all my work stuff and study gear in there would really like it back Nathan

Hey Kicker, Are they superstars 14s? if so what width are they and what tyres are you running?

I allready have 14x6.5 long champs for it but i think ill just find some 15s as i think they suit it better Cheers though

Yea, dish is essential! i think at this stage im going to roll with the 15s and keep an eye out for some 5 stud 15" longchamps on Yahoo auctions Also Aarons wagon is so lush!

Yea i dont think i could go much lower, it scraps on enough as it is..also don't want balloon tyres either ...

Went to Ivans (RBlover) on NZDatsun and tried his 14x8s on, just wanted to see if 14s would look to small before i go and spend money on my longchamps Post thoughts here! Nathan

Was considering bringing the Ke36 to this, will have to see what funds are like Thanks guys, yea pretty much what i have been doing every time i drive it a fair distance! Will swap out some pieces and see where i stand

Flick me a PM man, should be free sunday

Yea it never used to get up to 3/4, just seems to be a progressive thing that's happened maybe 8 months or so ago and hasnt got worse since Yes your right this car does like to test me! like i said earlier will be the 3rd headgasket if it is one... i wouldn't say i thrash it either Will start with the cheaper things and work my way through what every one has recommended and see how it goes, i just want to be able to drive it up some hills and go on some cuises in it with out worrying about it over heating ha

Motor was out of Johns White brougham 260C that i brought, i checked the fins on the water pump when i put the engine in as my last one in my L20 had rusted away, they were all still there and in good condition

It doesn't push water out currently (with no thermostat) under normal operation drove a good 100km with out it going over 3/4, but had a we play in the my old mans paddock in the wet for 2 or so minutes and it shot up from 1/2 to in the red extremely fast and started bubbling into the overflow When i tried putting the thermostat in it overheated and was bubbling within 1km of home

I hate headgasket land! been there twice already (on my L20), L-series don't seem to agree with my driving habbits Not using any liquid, not enough for me to notice anyway, water also appears to be flowing or pushing as you put it

Just the man i was hopping to here from yup is the radiator out of the white brougham, i thought it i remember you guys said it had been but wasnt sure! i can get a new gauge and try it but that wouldn't explain why i cant run a thermostat in it.....

Not aftermarket, Pulled a gauge from a 260c i scrapped. i will get radiator checked out and rodded in the coming week and see if that remedy the situation by "doesn't sound good" are you thinking it could be a head gasket? (if it turns out that the radiator and the WP are fine) Will get done in next week and report back, cheers

Yup, replaced the gauge and the sensor, no difference
