  1. the airports barriers snap off and clip back on again just sayn
  2. you'd have to see the whole piston to see if its seized all way round or just on the exhaust port to make a more accurate opinion can you not remove the barrel from the bottom end ? id take the barrel off see if these is any play in the big end if not id leave and look at the top end and just rebuild that
  3. its had a seize id be more concerned about the damage to the bore that may have resulted
  4. later smallport redtops had external oil drains from the factory if my memory serves me correctly
  5. what size is the battery looking at putting a 40ah gell cell one in my project car
  6. saw blackwoods have the hitachi electric die grinder for 395+gst on special this month
  7. Right so i still have this thing its just been lying dormant for a long time keeping uj's merc company so i recently found some motivation to do some stuff I had a ali civic rad that i got modified 2 years ago that i had been meaning to put in so i removed the lhs stock radiator mount and welded it back on where i needed it and modified the original top bracket to work with the new rad and welded a nut on to secure it all. Its sitting as low as i could get it but it was still higher than the original ive seen people put them in corollas but they must have a bit more height . The new radiator fitted ok without the radiator cap on however did not with it on so i trimmed a bit off the inner support in the bonnet. I also started modifying my shifter assembly to reduce the overall throw both side to side and front to back as its like driving a truck at the moment but ran out of time . I found out my intercooler that i had was going to be far far far to big to fit in the space next to the radiator so on the lookout for a intercooler that has its outlets at the same end that will fit. There is enough room under the bonnet to run the pipes straight over and down to keep the piping short plans are to finish the intercooler and radiator piping and get the link wired up , relocate the battery (have a 40ah gell cell for in cabin) tidy up all the unessisary shit in the engine bay, brake upgrade and cage it , cert it and get back into some motorsport

  23. my partners brother has a jw-21 (leaver action ) and its pretty accurate with just iorn sights have shot quite a few jw-15s the early ones had a few issues with the fore sights moving from memory but since its scoped shouldn't be an issue some also had issues miss firing but that may have been the ammo that was issued
