morkster Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Nice car. They say it's best to buy the best example you can afford; I doubt you'll ever regret 'paying too much' : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrx Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Beautiful car. Trouble with factory ignition is finding a distributor with good ignitors factory J109 are moon beams. I used Bosch ones and hollowed out the J109 to act as just a plug. They are reasonably small so you may be able to hide them somewhere, wiring will go via Bosch ignitors and coils of course so a bit of a deviation from factory but you would have to look pretty hard to notice. I can find the p/n if you need it (BIM-something). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it’s given me absolutely no trouble at all, I’m feeling there was a reason that this system was employed, but I think it looks ugly and out of place.

morkster Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You don't have to use j109s.. green bros used to sell a direct replacement igniter (don't know if they still do) that fits and does the same job but brand new. I used them they were fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4m13 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 I had a brief search and you can get igniters out of Taiwan. J109 but under a different name obviously. Unsure if they’re any good but from memory we’re around $29. Min qty though was 10 I do believe?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I think fuel miser do a direct replacement j109 and although some scoff at the name I've used their ignitors with great results. (all probably made by the same small kids in the same factories but with different stickers..) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Cutting them is dumb, stock springs will be irreplaceable. Just remove them altogether 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be cutting them bro. bit of a private joke with my mate up there ^ If I was to change anything, it’s be done so I could put original shit back in. Seems to be a few eagers for sale this side of the pond. For both 13&14” They’d suit a set of modgies just fine....what size do you suggest there tony?!?!?!

oldrx7 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ha! nah man no modgies - Buy 13" eagers over there, sell for profit over here & get some decent rims - Pine Engineering (based in Chch) are selling custom made 3 piece wheels ordered to your exact offset - check out there designs - not cheap, but would be something truely unique. Aren't series 3 sevens all weird with the offsets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4m13 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 No modgies?!?! golly, you’ve changed!!! Dunno regarding fucked up offset. But more than likely, I don’t see me changing wheels anytime soon. Just going to run with the standard ones. Perhaps after a few nudges and suggestions I’ll get some...??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Pretty cool that you rebuilt your own engine, good work While simple in theory compared to piston engines, I imagine there's a bunch of little tricks you need to know when assembling one So was it low oil pressure = fucked the bearing= shaft gets a bit floppy= stationary gear gets a hiding?
