Guest sheepers Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 wideband tuning. the old school tuning machines use a wideband sniffer that you stick up the exhaust to get the mixture right. they work very well if the guy using it knows what he's doing. once you get the carb done and put it back on the car take it to a place that has a tuning machine and get the mixture and ignition timing set up correctly.

Guest toy-mota Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 oh lol cheers for clearing that up sheepers,ill look into that when i get the carb done,i got a quote today for a rebuild,$250 for complete rebuild and $80-$100 to convert to electric,so this will probably be a go in a couple of weeks ,as today the choke would jam on flooding the engine and being a right pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy-mota Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 this is sweet man, just seen it now. looking forward to the finished panel & paint. Can't believe some asshole smashed the screen on an innocent old classic Crown like this. I mean who does that shit? i cant wait either,hardly any rust so far,but ive only sanded 2 doors lol,no one smashed it-it happened driving home from work down the motorway and out of know where it pop'd lol bit of a bugger but has let me panel and paint it over winter so hopefully its ready for the hamner meet up and summer, im thinking a tad darker green than this,so i dont have to paint the engine bay, i got the reconditioned carby back today,fitted it and it started and ran alot smoother,so a wee tune and should be a cruiser,quick question: my carby choke was automatic and ran off the exhuast and i got it changed to electric,i have read on other forums not to hook these up to the + on the coil,is there any cons to this,the coil is right next to the carby so ill only have to run a short fused wire than run one from the fuse box in the car chur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 RimRite down here in palmy http://http://rimrite.co.nz/about-theman-for-mags.htm makes single piece aluminium wheels, and pretty sure he can weld your existing centres in to new wider barrels. he made these Although apparently they were $2000+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy-mota Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 cheers for the comments,megaslam is a must and will be one of the first things to happen, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Again, the paint looks amazing! Great choice of colour, suits the S65 well i think. You decided on wheels yet/have a dream set in mind? I think wide steels in gloss black like CD/Spence's old wagon would look really good.

toy-mota Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 You decided on wheels yet/have a dream set in mind? I think wide steels in gloss black like CD/Spence's old wagon would look really good. i was thinking 5 spoke 14" with gold centers and polished lip o mite get two more steelies widened to 9inch for the rear, finally started the job of reassembly,polished all the rear chrome and it looks awesome,tint sprayed the taillight lenses,and fitted the new boot seal i got from rare spares problem is now tho the boot wont fully close/lock,is there any ways around this?

Spencer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I know with new door and tailgate seals the doors wont usually close, I use a rachet tie down or two to pull the doors in together until the seal beds in, usually a few days. May need to try the same method, or adjust the latch, they usually have a range of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
