or just do the seals/belts/perishables on the 2nd hand one, put that one in and drive away

In my experiance, rebuilt high ks sube motors dont last that long anyway.

hmm
superheated steam? are you sure thats a great idea on a home project? best to stick with saturated I would reckon....

then all the other stuff on the car is usually the same as as the motor your just replaced and isnt far off dying.

In my experiance your best off unloading the car and getting something with less ks and newer.. Trust me ive screwwed up plenty of times rebuiklding stuff, never again....

hmm i may have had a torana too

179kw from a very small car in 1974 was nothing to sneeze at.

L34 had even more at around 400-420hp (308kw),
they are still faster than pretty much every flash ar$e commodore/falcon......

its not really a lift kit. more like a replacement front and rear end....

a guy was offroad racing a torana down here (or what was left of one) and doing quite well....

gotta admit as bogan as they are now, they where the wrx of the 70's..

any abu with a C after it is a turd with braid

the bushed ones work brilliant with it though...

it had independant front, only RWD...

ok i dont know the guy but i did have a look when i saw it down the street rear end has custom 4 link to 9" using stock torana mounts with the 3/4 chassis being continued all the way to the pickup for the trailing arms. front looks completly custom, has big arse coil overs. If you have seen a torana...

hell yes
Its doable, but seriously serious a huge job.

Just buy some new springs/shocks....

seatbelts, brakes, tyres have to replaced and side intrusion bars fitted (if they are not alredy)

earth the motor to the body (or gearbox to the body)

no turbo and turbo efi heads are one and the same
compressions controlled by the pistons

so if its a MPFI non turbo, yes the turbo intake manifold will fit

also look at icey-tek

Auctralian made to
absolutly bomb prroof.

I got a 60L one for my boat. its been used as a seat, casting platform, bait board u name it and theres not a scratch on it and it doesnt stink like fish...

excellent stuff

vw has extreme light weight in its favour.. have you seen where an old suzuki will go?

welded diff will destroy the weakest part, that could be the weld, the axle spline, the doj's.. etc

Just out of interest any thing bigger than 2" in SA is illegal and voids all insurance policies on the car including the compulsary 3rd party bodily insurance. a 2" is legal only when the car has been pre-approved by transport SA and inspected after installation then fitted with a mod sticker. You w...

my god it lifts the wheels early

take the nuts off any wheel, and no wheel is going to stay there for long...so I don't see why point finger at the speedy as being worse? I said SPIGOT, not wheel nuts. As the above post says the rim is supposed to be supported by teh center spigot and the nuts are not designed to be taking vertica...

the 14" speedie desert rats are worse than the stock 13" ones.
The spigot doesnt fit the subaru one so they wheel is held on only by the wheel nuts. Not nice at all.

buy the scorpion wheels if you are serious

its also made by weber. come on xe/xf falcons....

I dont understand why people dony get 34adms???? and stop playing with prehistoric 32/36's?.
