I've just upgraded my brakes so am selling the old setup.

They are the 256? mm rotors that work with the Stanza/200b strut. I bought the rotors new about 4 years ago but realistically they've only done a few thousand k's.

calipers are in good condition with a set of 95% bendix advance pads.

$200

Open in new window

If you give your car to a dyno operator for a power run then you would want to be sure the car is tuned and running correctly!

It's not the dyno operator's responsibility if something's not right. They usually watch mixtures and back off if they are too bad or hear pinging. They will also have you sign a disclaimer at events such as powercruise to void them of any responsibility. If you don't like it, don't participate!

If you are paying for a tune, however, then you expect them to be a lot more cautious.

To Matto1kUte - Nobody said you had to have them do the work on it to fix it, you could have just driven home and done it yourself. A $75 dyno would be a basic power run and mixture check, you can't expect much for that amount of money. I do agree that $400 sounds fairly steep for what would be 99% labour!

the alternator just does the opposite of an electric motor.

For a given power input and motor efficiency you get a certain amount of power out.

For the alternator, if the power requirement of the electrical system increases then is has to sap more power from the crank

EDIT: yes it becomes harder to turn

Are you running a rear swaybar? what sort of tyres?

If you are picking up the inside rear wheel you could well be on the bump stops

Another piping question - the pipe in the nice diagram I posted earlier on this thread - one of the pipes says "To Crankcase (block)" - Does this pipe travel to the crankcase via the top of the oil pump?

It looks to me that the pipes make sense going down there.


The pipe to the block that the drawing is talking about is the one underneath your inlet manifold which is plumbed around the back of the inlet manifold and into the inlet rocker cover. It looks like it could be water because it's only about 100mm long then goes into a hard pipe but it's actually crankcase ventilation.

I still have them on mine, I have it plumbed up just to manifold pressure and they are a bit dicky.

that thread is useful, that volvo cruise control vacuum pump looks interesting. Can't really see the point for most of our applications though, maybe in a street car.

pretty keen for a pair of front guards.

They don't do rear quarter panel sections do they?
