Cheers!

G'day boys, I am after the mechanism that holds the bootlid of a 1200 coupe up when you open it. The rally car is lacking one and it is a royal pain. can anyone be of assistance? thanks muchly!

Hahaaa righto, excuse my ignorance. What do you do about reverse?

Does hollinger make a sequential shift box?

D do you mean use the serria box but with different ratios?

How easily does the 16b match that gearbox in terms of the bell-housing lining up?

Thanks!

Well my mate bought a little suzuki sierra and began talking about bolting the head from the twin cam swift gti onto it.

From my research, the GTI and sierra bottom ends are very similar, but the sierra one is stronger and heavier.
The GTI head is dohc and the sierra is sohc.
The GTI engine also seems to bolt to the sierra gearbox.

I happen to have a swift gti engine in bits lying around, so I think a little experimentation is required.

The gti engine itself is light, so perfect for the kb10, and produces 100hp stock.

Has anyone played around with this concept before?

Meet at Windsor for breakfast on Sunday morning for a run up Bells line of road, then up the back roads through to Bathurst? We could then have lunch with the Bathurst members before making our own way home?

I am keen. We could head out through Wisemans ferry up towards Central Mangrove, then down the bit of the old road that is left and stop in for lunch at pie in the sky?

Some time in mid October?

Hey D did the Vitara is a little 4x4 is it not? If so, is the reason you can't use the stock gearbox that it is somehow connected to the transfer case?

Cheers, Ian

From what I have gathered from different sources, hydrogen is an efficient source of transportable energy. So is petrol, however there is a finite amount of it. Hydrogen is infinite as long as you have the electricity to produce it.

Lets just say that we can make electricity from hydro power or whatever other environmentally friendly source to create hydrogen to fuel up our cars.

But the problem with this is that in a crash, hydrogen is alot more explosive than petrol.

So what I want to know is, if our electricity is produced cleanly, then do the efficiency benefits of hydrogen outweigh the safety of having electric cars with the energy stored in batteries?

just something to think about...
