Hi all, at the risk of sounding like a total rookie...!! i was looking at some seats today for my 1200 ute..

I was in a Sparco suppliers shop and the guy asked if i needed an 'RDA Approve' (i think he said 'RDA'), seat or not...

I assumed it had something to do with being able to engineer the car so i said yes, but i am wondering what exactly it means as there where a lot more seats available which are not approved..

Can anyone help..??

Bump, any other takers?!

i have a ca turbo i will be happy to swap for the wheels.. call me, adam, on 0417495995 if you are still interested.

JACKPOT!!!

thanks to all, thats what i was after + a whole lot more...

i always though that sand or soda blasting was the way to go also.
but i have been talking to a few panel beaters, quite good ones i might add, and they have all said that paint stripping, although more mucking around and annoying, is probably the better way to go.

They also added that if the person doing the blasting is not very good he can do more damage than good...

thanks all.. at this stage mainly the engine bolts.. i.e. manifold, rocker covers, ect...

i had a feeling they would all be different.. is there anywhere that will tell me what each set of bolts or bolt should be tensioned at??

Does anyone know what engine bolts are supposed to be tensioned to for a ca18det.

Also what torque wrench have you been using?

thanks for all the info so far...

how much paint striper would i need for the whole ute?? any idea?

Hi all, i am wondering if anyone has purchased the gasket or bolt kits off ebay for a ca18det???

i dont want anything that is a quick fix or sub standard...

if not what are you all using when you need gaskets and bolts for your engines?

Hi all, i am getting to the point where i have my engine bay dry fitted and i am wanting to start paint striping the car to see what's underneath...

Has anyone use paint striper and what have you found works well?
