Brock-Lee Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think Honda City headlights are the right size for a straight swap, and take halogen bulbs. Should be cheap as from a wrecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Handbrake done (I think) Gave the back shoes a tickle up with a wire brush to take off any glazing then adjusted up the handbrake Will pop the bearings out tomorrow arvo after picking joker up at the airport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 OK so I dropped the car into auto sparky this morn alternator playing up no oil light Halogen semi sealed lights going in, I got stuck when I looked at the relays I had in my electrical bits box and he is a GC. I think zorst might go on Saturday Wheel bearings on way from UK for exactly 1/2 NZ prices The lowering stick is on hold for now, but will happen ASAPish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Where are you getting the rear shock conversion kit from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Milton race prep in the UK do them, Might look at getting something fabbed locally. Do you have a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I bet someone down your way could fab something up much cheaper than getting it over from the uk. I'd ask around if I were you. Do it neatly and mr wof man would never even know, not that I think any of them would give a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 OK another pictureless update. Semi sealed bulbs in - auto sparky got some bulbs that draw similar current to originals (no need for relays) but are very bright (NOT HID). Wheel bearings done (front) Exhaust next saturday I hope. Then WOF.. woo hoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Exhaust is quite close (possibly touching) my port side steering arm thingy. After 30km at 110km/h the joint still felt cool. Is this OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Port side? Is that near side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Left side for you land lubbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Near side then. As in near to the gutter. Offside is opposite- being near the centre of road. Although I've not heard many use near side / offside in nz? Do others on here use these terms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixx Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 but the nearside would now be the RH side.. too confusing Left and right or port and Starboard stay the same no matter where you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 but the nearside would now be the RH side.. too confusingLeft and right or port and Starboard stay the same no matter where you are Yes but the driver is now on the LH side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hey bro have you tried graham at enford spares, I got the extractors for my zephyr from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Yetchh I have been to Graham before, but last time i went there he was charging $80 for a tie rod end. I got 4 from the uk for $85 incl freight. When I wanted a master cylinder- $68 for a chinese copy of a girling $42 from BNT It seems he has had the monoploly for years and has not caught up with the fact we can access ebay.co.uk too. Whilst xtractors are on my wish list, they can wait for a wee bit. Cheers for the tip tho. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
