Ahh no probs runnin' yep supercheap is good ! :) no its not too dark to me, tho I am used to dark tint.. my last 4 cars had darker than "spec" tint and I have no probs seeing either side in dark. That and the fact I rarely drive at night :)

Well, with mine I trimmed back about 2mm from the edge of top of glass, and it only goes as far as the channel front and rear, that way its not being rubbed by the channel all the time. You cant really see any gaps. As it "Says on the box" if it lifts seal it with clear laquer on the edge. But I'd ...

Ok heres the thing... they stay in place ! :) Measure up as closely and accurately as you can the window glass.. use a template if you want.. fish and chip paper is good (not used !!) wet the window and stick it to it if you need it makes it easier to cut. Now cut the tint out (make sure that ...

Pt3. The Honda steering column looks pretty neat too, might try and squeeze that in (less airbag :) ) allthough I'm not sure how handy a smaller wheel would be in the bush, or on the street for that matter. let us know how you go trying that, i really need a smaller wheel. WRX seats dont leave much ...

yeah similar idea here but the problem is the manifold studs are 110mm spaced and the Holley/Webber is spaced @ 90mm My idea is use 2 of the original manifold studs (extended ones) to go right through adaptor and carb and 2 studs are tapped in the alloy adaptor, the same end has bolts into manifold ...

2BBL Holley/webber to 12R Adaptors

I have a Lynx KC217 adaptor but this is for an 18R, I have slotted it/drilled it buggered around with it, but its still not right. Are there any other adaptors made for this conversion ? or should I get the manifold built up and machined to suit ? also the butterflys open the opposite way, so a link ...

Most people glue marine carpet straight to the roof, but the lining in the Honda is a flexy fiber type stuff easy to cut and shape, but time will tell..

Hey I found a clutch fan on a Corolla at the local dump, anyine use one of these ? or should I stick to the fixed fan one ?

Pt3. Going to try and fit the roof lining out of the Honda Accord.. it seems about the right length, just a bit of trimming shaping with a bit of luck, the roof rails should hold it in place and there is some room to tuck it in between the side walls and roof. The Honda steering column looks pretty ...

Mine is similar, fill it up... gauge goes up..comes back down... goes up again, then as ya use it, it goes down...then back up... and finally down.. this can be fun..if you forget. I suspect a dent in my tank is to blame or more likely a worn sender in the tank.
