You will have to excuse my ignorance here..... But what the hell is a beach worm??? :? :D i am not aware of anything like this in NZ (not to say their isn't) Sounds like its harder catching the bait than the fish! A photo of one of the little suckers would be most interesting..... BTW - the fishing ...

the solanoid wont be weakened otherwise it would not engauge the power to the starter motor... unless the little rod and bar thing that connects the terminals is "longer" or out of alignment so that the starter moter gets power before the cog is engauged???? My guess would be worn pivot and cog end ...

I did some research on turboing a SOHC EJ22 but never pursued it that fardue to $$$ constraint What I do recall is the EJ22 is used instead of the EJ25 because it is a stronger block with thicker cylinder walls more suited to high HP applications. Apparently EJ25 crank and rods are the go as they dr...

My first thought is coil packs but if these are fine my secound thought is plug gap, these engines really hate not having the correct gap and will miss like a bit@h if they are out.

Damb man - that just makes me grin 8) Gives me fond memories of a friends old 12A powered Datsun 1200 coupe. Very nice, top effort, now the challenge will be keeping it straight - LOL Slight hijack question..... sorry.... I am looking into buying the KMAC camber kit for my RX Rally car but was unsur...

Im only a few months of the big 30.... be sad to see the 20's go.... well on paper anyway!

Ideally i would have triangulated back to the firewall but I am planning a different IC to go in there and it was not practical, so I went for the straight one. Yes, I agree there will be tower movement in the forward/back direction, but in/out will be severly restricted (as long as the adjusted is ...

There are several schools of thought on this one, and it really depends on what car you are putting it on and what you are trying to achieve. General principles dictate that when you strengthen any given part of a car you will transfer some of the stress to a diferant part of the car and "may" creat...

The Merc should be a bit of fun :D I am saving my pennies for the gravel series (Hillclimbs and Rally sprints) that dont start until late April or so. I would rather learn the car and develop my feable skills on the more progressive loose stuff....... should be entertaining catching up with each oth...

Dont know about MY but both types fit in L series, reduction type is better IMHO

There are two pain in the ass clips that attach the moulded backing plactic piece behing the latch and locking lever. The clips are on the top and bottom sides and in the middle, you should only need to unclip the top one (easier to get at) and then it will come off the bottom clip. To undo the clip...

OK - I finally got off my ass and shrunk mine a bit more, hopefully no more scrolling involved........

A picture is worth a thousand words. The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed,...

Ya gotta love four wheel disk brakes

Someone here may be able to set me straight but I thought series 1 turbo Legacys (JDM EJ20G) were 155kw at the flywheel standard, the next series which included the first of the WRX's were ~165kw I think and they have hovered around that mark ever since (bar STi's and TT's). This is still a big impr...

Oh yeah - how is your handbrake setup with the brembos?

Yep - custom (38mm F, 25?mmR) Bilstein coil overs Car handels great on gravel but understears like a pig on tarseal, I am looking at a camber kit or plates to help with the excesive +ive camber on the hard stuff. Performance wise the engine is stock bar the RSRA computer 3" Group A exhaust, pod filt...

I run the same setup in with the local car club (85 RX with EJ20TG). The previous owner did the conversion and the car has the following mods. EJ20TG RS Legacy 4.111 GBox WRX Flywheel (engine was an auto) EJ20TT Clutch kit RS Legacy 4.111 LSD EJ20TG loom spliced to Leone rear loom (doors back leone ...

Apologies to any that may have taken offence at my question, I am not trying to "stir the pot" and did not want to start a sh!t fight. As most of you are probably aware NZ has a similarly diverse ethnic population with some groups hell bent on having their opinions heard. While we have not yet had "...

Cricky lads and ladies what the hell is happening on that side of the ditch?!?!?
