Bargain!!!!

That ride sounds awesome, you ain't full of ####e with that are you.

I forgo the joy of the 'nats this year to go deep sea fishing, which ended up being cancelled due to the weather. Y'all have no idea how pissed off I am right now.

P.S- there was a photo of a wheel standing 1200 wag in the latest Street Machine, but it didn't give out any specs. If I remember it was from Queensland and orange in colour. Anyone got info on this beast?

Any thing can be done with time, patience and most importantly, money.

As you say you don't know much about engines, so I'd suggest you follow a few of the earlier comments and use a-series or SR.

The SR would be a killer!

Great to see a Datto representing in the Elite hall. That 1600 is one awesome car.

There was a write up in the Telegraph on the 1600 today. The dude sent the sucker to Melbourne from Canberra just to be painted. Half your luck if you've got the cash, but I'm sure there's at least one decent spray painter in our nation's capital that could handle the job.

Red, why 4 hunge only. Is it busted bad or what?

I've searched everywhere I can think of and never come across any. If anyone has I would also like to know.

Rego's comin' up and my damn indicator switch broke. Anyone got a spare for me? Let us know if you do

I thought a capacitor was just used to store charge. The problem I had is that the alternator could not produce the current needed to fire the amp. Over time this caused the battery to die, as it was the battery powering the amp.

I've never heard of re-winding an alternator. Doesn't sound trustworthy to me.

A while ago I was having trouble with new batteries continuously running dead. When I took it to the auto electrician he said it was my amp, everything else worked fine. I took the stereo out and the car runs great, but I miss the pumping tunes.

My 1200 has a 40 amp Lucas alternator from an Escort. To run my amp I need a minimum of 48 amp, possibly more. Anyone else had to overcome this problem? If so, what alternator did you use?

This isn't car related, but we had a neighbour come down the street and tell us to turn off the music at 11:30pm on New Years Eve once. I've never seen one bloke cop as much abuse as he did, even had some bottles launched at him.

Needless to say he has never been back.
