is this still 4sale??

thanks for the info. i looked through the tech section and found some useful info. so far it has been ok with short bursts in 2nd or 3rd but once tuned will make conciderably more power

just wondering what sort of power people have been able to put through a standard gearbox without abusing it... i am about to get my car tuned but cant afford the $1000 for gearbox upgrade. i am looking at 140-150 at the tyres. think it will make it off the dyno??

coop...

looks like you have done a good job from the little pictures but you have welded on new panels. i could not see any big surface area welds on your ute. when repairing rust this is what we are talking about. it can be done but compitaincy has to be much higher with an oxy. yes panel beaters did use them... until migs, then spot welders came along. learning the art of the oxy is a long and difficult process, as i am sure you would know and one that is not recomended to be learnt by yourself...

something to known of brazing... it can encourage rust

have a go mate! yo will be glad you did. take your time. you can get flux coated wire for a mig but it is not the best. surfaces need to be very clean other wise no penetration... if you set your reg properly (14 litres per min) then you will be surprised how far a little bottle goes. i am still on the same bottle for a year and i have repaired a front end on the r100 and bunch of other stuff and still have half a bottle

i think these go new for around $700.. second hand would be ok if it has been looked after. there is one in my area for $250. i know this doensnt help but it gives you the idea. the problem arises after purchase cause gas companies now torture you for money. i have the smallestbottle available and i pay around $130 a year in rental then the $80 to fill it everytime.

that sounds like alot of rust and some of those areas can be fiddley... as a panelbeater i would say dont expect much change out of 5 grand (without seeing it) if you want the job done properly. anyone could weld it in but you are paying for knowl;edge too. what the metals do when welded together, water catachment points etc... if you want to have a go go for it! you will be all the wiser for the experience. an arc is out of the question. mig is the way to go as oxy will produce too much heat and distord the metal.. anything bigger than a 130. i have a cig 130 fan cooled (is a must) at home and used to for 12 years and it still welds great.

hope this helps

thanks for the info. in my opinion turbo and carby don't go in the same sentence! for maximum performance, reliability, tunability and security efi is the only option

thanks but not really of any use to me since i have a turbo set-up... computer is also too old

looking for complete ute diff and a14 efi manifold.... anyone?? please????
