CUL8R Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Fuck that HPC looks choice man! Really like it, if you dont mind me asking how much to get the extractors hpc coated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hate to say it, but HPC'ing exhaust isn't always a great idea. I know, and have seen a number of extractors that have been HPC'd, and the finish goes all matte silver and if they don't do a perfect job, it starts lifting, especially from in the collector. Looks fucking incredibly hawt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ^ Really? I've had quite a few parts coated by them over the years for different cars (including turbo'd cars that get A LOT hotter) and the HPCing has held up well, without any problems? Lots of people say they've had parts "coated" but not always with the genuine HPC coating I've tried a few different types of coating, but spending the money and using HPC has always had good results and I would recommend it to anyone do it once and forget about it (I'll keep you posted on how it holds up on the Ex tho) Another one in Hamilton? Common as mud aye! CUL8R, I've PM'd you with costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 What's left to do before a drive is on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 cheers everyone yea its been awhile... (not quite 100% yet tho) probably the "easiest" convertion to do but at least I've tried to make it look good Still got to: - get rev counter going (using 1600 dash cluster) need to wire to coil? - get electric fan going (relay?) - change oil pressure sendor to "gauge type" (1600 dash has gauge, 1200 just has light) - wheel alignment - Rego off "hold" middle of next month - then write a WOF out for it hope to take it for a short drive at somestage this weekend (all going well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 .2 camber is stuff all differance really, most alignment people wouldnt worry at all... as a rough guide you'll have to move it 2mm to adjust it, so you might be able to undo bolts and push things with crow-bar and re-tighten, or maybe even file the holes your caster is abit wack... most alignment places will tell you its not adjusable but it is! its those bars going forward to the rad support from the lower arms, i would want this even (although some do run it slighlty off to make up for curve of road) yours was at .4 and 1, i would be running as much as i could while still keeping it even, will give you good turning grip, i'd be going for about 2-to-2.5degrees if it was my car, evening this out might bring your camber closer aswell i think they run this quite low to make up for the crap tyres they had back in the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 what a lovely automobile, good to see effort made making it tidy have you fixed brake sponge ness yet things to check that i have found causes same issues bung old brake hoses going like balloons (even new faulty ones) new pads on un machined rotors flexing siezed caliper slides new brake shoes with wrong radius on them for the drums brakes adjusted wrong eg cable cranked up instead of adjustment at wheel put clamps on all brake hoses and see if it then has a firm pedal. releasing each clamp will give you clues on where the problem is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Cheers man, yea I've replaced the brake hoses (new) but I'll double check IF xpanding orginal pads and un-machined rotors (as I brought them) but might machine them? I re-built the calipers so slides should be lubed up got orginal drums / shoes from when I got the car (standard) with no problems have adjusted at the shoes, not the cable, and yea thats my next thing to try (clamping off the lines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
