Muzzie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The Alloys are from a 2500S - basically a flasher version of yours, slighlty better trim, more instruments etc etc. Looks tidy - pity it aint manual. Go easy on the boot though - the diffs aren't flash. Mate of mine went through some thing stupid like 9 diffs in the 4 months he owned it.

spacie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 yeah it would be awesome if it was manual aye. nah nah im pretty easy on the boot, driveshaft vibrates pretty hard when at high speed and you let off the gas a bit have some plans which none of you will like im sure, but hey its my car. and no im not gonna tang it, put it on trailer wheels or spray it matte black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 modgies and a monster tachna but serious, sweet ride. haha get fucked. i'll reserve that sorta shit for my other cars. this car is for cruising the running on?i reckon the carbs are stuck open a bit or some shiznit. idles waaaaay higher in Neutral as opposed to Reverse or Drive soooo yeah im gonna pull apart the carbs sometime in the near future. gets rather embarrassing sitting there in town with it still chugging away also, air intake pipe will never stay on, goddammit. attepted to cable tie the fucker on, but its rather difficult at the bottom front left brake pad only has like a few centimetres left, so went out & bought some Ferrodo brake pads & also a new battery engine piccie is up now m34n b03z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Just bought one of these filth demons today. 2000tc manual. Straight as an arrow. Got it from an old guy that had owned it for 22 years. Its literally showroom condition. They sound cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macabre Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 isint running on a timing issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacie Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 isint running on a timing issue? usually, got timing checked out, was only 5 deg out. Dad seems to think it is because 1) the cylinders need a decoke (it only runs on when warm, therefore the carbon deposits in the cylinders are still glowing red hot , providing the "spark" and 2) because the carbs need a tune & they are still stuck open or something, providing the engine with fuel even when turned off??? Flange you bastard...wanna swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Flange you bastard...wanna swap? Lol. Nah, this ones a keeper sorry. always had a soft spot for tc's and this was too good to miss. Shame its not a 2500 tho. The 2000 is a little bit slugish. and the manual is a right cunt to change gear. Overdrive is a gem! I really need to put money into my other project cars but its nice to have a good runner. This is the only one of my cars with wof and reg . So what u plan to do to yours? Modify the shit out of it or do subtle mods. Love the "S" mags they look wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
