briliant, ill get down shops for a socket and get welding, again cheers for your help

Made a tool to do the job , get a 10mm deep reach socket and weld a bar to it . Try and get a 3/8 dr deep reach so a bigger screwdriver can go down the middle of it . The issue is the lock nuts are well recesesed and you can't get a spanner on them . With the "tool" you can crack the lock nut and ...

so no need for any special tools then?

so you cant offer any help then?

sort of,have you done a 16v?

"limited tuning potential" in 66 and 67 brabhus won the f1 championships using rover v8s tuned by ausie company repco, while i agree this was a while back it shows the potential. if you find it hard to get tuning spares in oz try the uk, loads of parts available limited only by your wallet. i called ...

rover v8 is one of the best engines ever made,used in tvr sports car, unlimited tuning potential- suzuki chasis is one of the flmsiest (i love my zooks but be ohnest) putting the two together would be ridiculous.i know it would sound cool but it would be completly unusable in any condition. the only ...

have you put it in upside down

[quote="PCRman"]as far as I'm aware, yes. Others can confirm but I dont think a TBI 1.6 Vit ever made it here in any year (let alone 91). I don't know about the 1.3 carb 88-89 one, maybe a Au model??? I'd love to get hold of a VIN# for either of the above two models and get people I know who live in ...

so use my belhousing-transfer box, but what holdens?

Steve.

do you know what holdens?

flushed it several times, dropped sump cleaned filter, checked for vacum leaks, changed valve on vacum line (on manifold) fitted new cooler and lines still does it! if i can find a good rebuilt box id swap it in and be done with it.

anyone know where i can get a rebuilt 3 speed gearbox or rebuild kit from? mine slips badly until warm driving me crazy.

the dealers ive spoken to disagree, i also know of someone who had set fitted two an auto they had to have the flange cut of and the auto one welded on? i wouldnt think they were that different either but if im buying something for that sort of money i whant to be shure!

anyone know where i can get extractors for 1600 swb 8v vitara, mines broken in 3 places, can only find them for manuals,

because i like them

hi thanks for the advice, at least i know it can be fixed. how much should i expect to pay for a secondhand engine? anyone know a good breakers near dubbo? or somewere i can get a recon shortblock? sorry for all the silly questions but im new, im a pom but i dont whinge (much) cheers

ive bought a lwb vitara 1600 16v, some maniac has welded the crank pulley key in place, i assume coz the keyway was worn, this has melted the oil seal behind, wtf did he expect? anyone had a crank like this repaired? can i fit a recon crank ? can you get the crank out with the engine in place ...

just got reply from mr daley, standard one size fits all reply, hopefully the amount of emails etc gave them plenty of extra work and caused a rethink, good work to everyone who helped, keep sending them and get ready for round two

in england we have had many anti 4x4 laws, problem is everyone just shouts about it, then starts arguing amongst themselves, whats needed is an organised and coodinated protest. im in the process of moving to nsw, bringing my lifted 4x4 with me. ive been in constant comunication with nsw rta ...

many thanks

ok my question is what should the trim height be ( the meshurement from wheel center to bottom of wheel arch). i need it because my vitara has been modified, body lift, springs,strut spacers , spring spacers and 31" tyres. as you know nsw rta have brought in new regulations, stating the maximum trim ...

do you know what the trim height should be for a swb vitara? dont know what im on about? you will! taking the body lift off? alters the trim height, makes it able to pass blue slip after 31-7-09.

here here. you forgot headlights dazzleing people, what the fuck?
ive lost the will to live, moving to nsw in couple weeks, shoot me now

any one know how to take a bodie lift of a swb vitara or what the trim height should be?

" hi my name is michael daley . i would like to meet big butch men to f~@k me. my mummy was nasty to me so now when im not being rogered i like to boss everyone about and spoil their fun" came across this internal memo, thought you might be interested. 50mm i wonder what he used to measure that?

IM BRINGING MY SWB VITARA TO NSW FROM UK, ITS GOT 2" BODY LIFT,1.5" SUSPENSION LIFT AND 31" MUD TYRES, BELIEVE IT NEEDS ENGINEERING, ARE THESE MODS ENGINERABLE. ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED[/img]
