Was going through the motions of moving it myself...... beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal220 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 That motor looked amazing. Better than factory even Wow Cheers man, its on my build thread now. Its the nicest 202 ive seen in the flesh......but not on google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal220 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 So......another question. Since I have changed sumps from the HQ to the Commy style I have a dipstick issue. The old 9 port dipstick hole in the block is postioned aft and I will no longer get an accurate reading on the stick (after I chop it down so it will seal). What do I do about that? I know I could get two elbows brased into the sump and run a clear tube beteen them.......but that seems like too much effort and I have already fitted and sealed the sump. Most 202's I have seen leak oil (some more than others) so I am pretty keen to have the ability to check the oil level between oil changes. Please tell me I dont have to take it off again!

Terminal220 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hotwires or 100 spokes for the VH? Whats the view on the street? I have some pretty nice 100 spokes but as of late have been having second thoughts about using em. I have the option of getting some 15" x 8'' deep dish hotwires locally. I want to keep the car looking sleeperish. I am most likely just going to run new rims, lower the ride height by 2'' and run fender and tail light extensions from the SL/E. Originally I was going for how the boy racers did it in the 80's look..... Dont want it to become just another butchered commy and am starting to think the the 100's will be too flashy now that its crunch time. Views?

Terminal220 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 We have 4 cylinder commy wheels at zebra Are you running the 4 cylinder diff and brakes? I will be running 6cyl discs front and rear with a 6 cyl diff......so need 5x120's. I will sell my set of 5 Holden 13's all with center caps after the brake swap. Any idea what they would be worth?

KKtrips Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 4 cylinder ones? They'll be worth the value of the tyres on them. The rims are worth scrap value only No-one will want them with their fucked up oddball stud pattern that only fits over super tiny brakes I sold my tyres and rims to Shaz for $1 so she could have tyres for her Lancer.

Threeonthetree Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This is true. They are useless wheels but hopefully you can get some money out of the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal220 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thought that may be the case... Maybe I will save em for a sweet trailer project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Supposedly they're the same stud pattern as one of those mass produced trailers that they sell Sam at aging autos said it so it must be true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminal220 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Dammit! Had some mint 14" deep dish hotwires geared up and the guy turned out to be full of plark. The hunt continues....... On a more positive note, I swapped my doors for a brand new set of vented and grooved front rotors as well as an adjustable panhard rod to suit the VH......win!
