Ghostchips Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 My sisters friend reckons a place exists where you can get a new chassis laser cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 yeah you can get new chassis (galv too) sounds like you're the man to take this thing on eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Love how that POS 80" started near enough straight away after sitting so long. I'm a Ford man but I'll give Holden a point for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'd more likely put it down to simplicity there's something to be said for points and carbs! not much to go wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 i have a feeling that a 202 carb' on a 173 will run a bit rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 probably if it were just whacked on there. will be jetted to suit etc though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 How much was the cam cam? Thinking of doing similar when I get around to fixing my 186. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 can get yours 'reground' for about $150+gst or get it smacked on a new billet for another$150+gst - so $345 for a brand new item I went the new billet way so that it'd keep a good base circle etc etc and my original cam just looked pooey. Went for the High torque/"STAGE 2" cam which should work pretty well for my application. I'm happy with the power output of a buggered 186, just keen for a bit more power a little higher up the rev range so it should go nicely esp with stock style exhaust and carb and shit. You can still get crow cams for them but they're approaching $500 for one and I wasn't too worried about that. The real fun here will come when I see how much it needs to be dialled in I guess. Not sure what method to go with to dial the cam in/adjustable timing gears etc. I guess I'll make a call on whether to even bother when it gets to that stage. Next thing I'm after is a 3.3 blue/black carby engine electronic dizzy if anyone has one kicking around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 also I'll have a 186 up for grabs soonish. wants a bit of love but could be an ideal recipient for a tart up if you wanted to not take your whip to bits before you get it sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original is under a bench with a stripped fibre timing gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathcollector Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Does Jeremy at Ashdowns do you a good price Cam ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Seems to! Havent done huge amounts through them yet but i like browsing their online store. My brother has an account there for his new bidNess and seems to be buying stuff constantly. Great place and very helpful which compared to their direct competition in town is a breath of fresh air.

bathcollector Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yeah, they are a pretty good bunch of guys, we get a fair bit off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Half our guys couldn't wire a tail lamp so probably limits our spend with them..... Prolly a bit rough but yeah we sub most of our electrical out. Do quite a bit of stuff through the retail sales part so it will probably grow. At this stage I've bought more for my own stuff than anything hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
