Gotta be happy with my 4.8 centre for $50 then . Always good to have a mate when you need something . How's the hill climb going ?? Hope you're not at home due to mishap...... or maybe just helping out with that carton
Cheers

No it won't fit - 120Y is b/w and therefore incompatable. $150 seems a bit steep for a centre - are they really worth that much now
Cheers

Oh no you don't Craig ........
There will be NO selling of datto until you have been out on the track and rubbed paint with me, benny, chris etc etc.
Besides, you need those "official" results to prove the car's capabilities ( just so you know how close you can get to my times at least .
C'mon dude, selling is a last resort - the cash disappears quickly on the sensible things, but the emptiness lingers forever !!
Hope you can keep it and come out and play
Cheers

kegs, are you out there??
Sent you a pm for the brake booster - give me a yell when you can.
Any one else ?? 180B / Lancer / Sunny ........ getting desperate
Cheers

I wouldn't have them but that's just my personal preference. I an a one - eyed weber fan If possible, try to get a complete set up from a A series so you know it all goes together. By the time you add in another manifold, soft mounts, maybe even throttle linkage etc - the dollars can start to add up. Usually cheap carbies are just that - cheap carbies, so try and get the best condition carbies you can't afford as the cheapies will end up costing the same after you chase problem after problem.
Cheers

Craig,
you may need some sunscreen with that 4.8 diff - to protect you from the shift light glare .I agree with L18, go the 4.1 if you have it as I found the 3.9 in my 2L Gemini quite okay when I did it years ago. Yes , yes, but now I have seen the light
Good luck!
Cheers

Unfortunately I won't be there Funds are a little tight with Oran Park final round the week after so a choice had to be made!
Will come up on the bike on Sunday to check out the troops and cheer you on. Good luck to all - it will be a top event!!!
Cheers

Whist I agree that H145 axles are like toothpicks !! - I ran a welded H145 in my coupe for a year without drama. Admittedly only behind an A14 but it was not treated kindly ...... While your car sounds a bit beyond the H145 capabilities, usually it is side stepping the clutch that causes problems. Shock loads will kill components long before the same force applied linearly.
If in doubt - go for the 29 spline H190
Cheers

Hey 1200,
just a thought here, but a radiator needs airflow to exchange the heat in the tubes and fins to the atmosphere. I don't know the details about your intercooler but it would seem that when you are mobile there is enough air forced through the intercooler (which warms it slightly) to draw heat from your radiator. When stopped, all components heat up (including the intercoler) hence the radiator is only being fed a reduced amount of air which is being pre heated by the intercooler. Also, the fan(s) you are running may be struggling to pull enough air through both restrictions (ie I/C and rad.) If your shroud is not ideal then air drawn in will follow the path of least resistance - around the rad. rather than through! The long and short of it is that the cooling system (as with a turbo) needs airflow (preferably cool!) to operate efficiently. Have seen this problem more than once when people obstruct air paths with banks of driving lights or very fine mesh screens etc. Suddenly the cooling system cannot overcome the reduced surface area or static pressure.
Hope this gives some food for thought !
Cheers
