Hi All.....

Want to know if any of u have put on Bonnet/hood scoops on your UTE's or cars, Pics will be appreciated.

I was thinking of putting one on mine.....more for looks though

Unfortunately my hood got 2 dents via Hail damage, so thought it will help cover that up, and plus give it some style

Here in South Africa, We get them round, with and with out the rev counter (dependant on model, champ, sports or std) , they are marked in Kmph......
Can attain one for about 250Rands at a reckers, that with the rev counter, ( u can work out shipping and Rand conversion rates)

Other than if wanted u can purchase after market meters and fit them on, that if u wnat to change the originality of your vehicle

My 2cent worth

Why is it that he has 4 stars--Home away from Home

How is this possible

You will most definately need it.
If wanted, relocate, however be extremely careful, as these become quite brittle over the years and crack easily.
Just makes sure where its relocated, that heat doesnt affect it alot.

Jus my 2 cents worth

Thanks for the advice guys,me now off to get quotes on cowley extractors,
and off to buy the pancake filter.

Just got paid

Well, The 15's was for looks mainly,
but I got more than i bargained for,
coz she handles exceptionaly well, expecially with 45 profile Yohamas on them.

Plus another reason was, not having to roll fenders and put on spacers etc, oh not forgetting that most of the other mags fitted onto 1400's are bit too common

No Offence intended bro

Cool GXMAN, and thanx for the advice...

Now is miss even more my old 1200 delux

BTW, i sold it to someone (afrikaans Mense) in Vereeniging,and those guys were exstatic with the car

Hi A14

It aint me getting used to how it goes.

Its kinda slugish, dont have the ooomp, like my old 1200 Sedan, and other older 1400 utes I've driven.
Is it probably, that the motor aint fully run in, and free,
Cos I noticed that the older a14 gets, a bit quicker, and has like a louder hum on the engine..

Oh, or amI forgettin that the tyre size will coz it to be a bit sluggish on take off, due to ground coverage......15' 195 and mags

Hi all, esepcially u dattomasters

Despite having setting the timing to specs, My 1400 ute is feelin a bit too slugish.
So I try to advance timing, but get annoying pinking noise/Chain noise.

The power is considerably better when timing advanced, but cant stand the pinking noise.....Also checked on carb setting, and its good.

PLEASE HELP......

The Ute is a 2003 model, a14......I need more power with out any major conversions to the motor, cause the UTE still on warranty

Other Than Spacers, Remember 15'tyres will require low profile tyres,

I have proper set mags fitted to my Ute, No spacers was needed, however i still had to trim the front end of the wheelarch in front. And I have 195, 45, 15 Yokohama tyres on.
Spend a lil more, and put on well specd set of mags and tyre

Here's mine
