Are we going through the Lewis or Authurs pass?

Hoping to convince the boss to lemme go........

the link to the pics doesn't seem to open?

Hmm works for me. Maybe you have to be friend Emma on Facebook?

I should have the mk2 cortina legal for this. anyone else keen to come along?/want a seat etc

Could be nice to roll up in Ford, pencil me in for a spot please good sir..........probably be working hence pencil not pen

?

Haha yeah I guess mustang owners are not the smartest folk..........

V6 carb jetting usually works ok on 2.0 (from the research I've done never actually done it myself). But it just uses more fuel and goes not a hell of a lot better so stick with a 32/36 webber until you can afford side draughts, holley carb, efi etc etc

Seems everyones rocking an aircraft engine nowadays

I think this belongs here pretty radical ow

I got some for my XE from Ford, I got some for my XB from trademe. tried rarespares?

When my XE failed wof on loose door hinges I drilled them out and put a bolt in with a nylok nut. When they get a little loose again you just tighten the nut abit

Come to think about it my terrano is the same and a courier I owned and a hilux haha

Will try but highly likely I'll miss this one

Sorry to jump in but just wondering

Is this the sort of wideband you'd need for basic tuning?

Link is good now.

Its hard to tell in that vid but I think the above advice is very good. Have you had the cam belt off at all?

With the correct hose tail if your only running 250psi to 350psi then you would be fine id say. Most standard power steering lines are only fibre reinforced but with crimped ends.

It would be really good to know what pressures your dealing with. Hopefully someone with knowledge on these things will read this thread.

Link doesn't work for me

Most power steering systems are more than your average hose clamp can handle. I make hydraulic hoses at my work and we often have to make replacement power steering lines for the local garage.

If you take your old hardline to a Hydraulink or similar shop they would be able to make it up in flexy line for you. Normally power steering hoses have wierd fittings so we have to "life saver" them. (Basically cut your old ends off and weld them to a hose tail so they can be crimped to hydraulic hose)

In the end it does all come down to pressure if you find out what your running you could save money in the hose used.

I know of a 1.3 mk2 been parted out if thats any good to you

Wasnt one 2-3 weeks ago when I was there. What do you need Hogan?

High silver brazing is what we do when making hydraulic fittings. Damn that stuffs expensive though but good. But not what you want for your task at hand by the sounds of things

Plus one for bbq really enjoyed this arvo.

Anyone wanna go check out some drag racing before the bbq tomorrow?

Saw this outside cpit today. Looks good needs more angry engine noises though.

Its ok. Just curious. Quite keen on revolution 4 spokes or dunlop d1s.

Please not D1s.......4 spokes ftw

Maybe not?? I was in Dunedin so fail

God I miss my old XE

Anyway on the low front. Superlows drop them about 4"s and it will sit 10mm above bumpstops on the front. So rides good but bouncey when you hit a bump. I was always gana space my shock towers abit so I could cut my bumpstops with out the shock bottoming out but never got round to it

If your on FB heres my old XE with cobra superlows all round

That trademe user is actually an oldschool member too so if you email him off his website saying your from here might save a couple of bucks,
