just checked out your site, but i had seen it before, its pretty good

i was wondering if you had to massage the wall behind the front tyres for the wheels to fit

when i put my rally tyres on, which are on 13" wheels but high profile tyres, it hit both the front lip you mentioned and also the wall behind the tyre, i took the wheel off and hit the wall back, sorry i mean some rocks must have hit it pretty hard during pratice and its okay now but you dont mention doing this, didnt you have to?, i also bent up that front corner a lot and it looks pretty bad now but i had to do it quick so thats the way it is!

also did you get the alternator on yet? and whats happening with the supercharger idea at the moment? still chasing a 4agze one?

Well, the alternator thing, I will have to fit it up when I have a day off and my car ahsn't been abducted by autoelectrican apprentices...
If you look in the Alternator thread you'll see my lovely adventures with them... they still haev my car I took it to them on Friday morning and it is now Monday night and they still have it.
But yeah never going to them again.
Umm so yeah gotta get it fitted one day that I have off that I'm not doing something else on.

The wheels. All I had to do was bash that front bit out and it worked. I also lipped the guard witha baseball bat as well at the front. Didn't do anything to the inside there.
Also the tyres seem to rub on the inside on the back driver side whenever I got up a driveway. I have a sneaking suspicion that the diff might be a few mm's shorter on the drivers side. I'll have to get some 1ml or so thick metal and make a spacer for that.

Umm supercharger idea... Been so distracted with the actual needing money thing that I haven't even been able to think about it. Still planning on doing it. But yeah I gotta get off my flabby arse and see how much it would cost to send my current S/C over to perth cos a fellow member wants to buy it off me.
I will get around to this one day.
I have seen an exhaust shop with a 1200 coupe that they have supercharged and they moved the alternator back down to where it was on a standard 1200 engine (bottom left) and put the supercharger where the new alternator sits. (Top right)
Thing is that, dammit, having a car helps in getting these things done alot faster!

PS DAMN AUTO-ELECTRICIANS!!! (Present company excepted!)

Also I gotta get a few days off so me and my friend can rub back my car and a guy is then going to prep and spray it for me. I already have the paint as you can see on the webpage. Just need time.
Time and money...
Why don't I have more time and money?

Gee this is a long post.
It's making me dizzy...

i wasnt sure if the elec was wiring in the altternator for you or just fixing that resistor thing you were talking about it the other post

whats the idea with the baseball bat?, ive heard that mentioned a few times but dont see how it would work, ive always just used a hammer holding a block of wood on the other side

get a baseball bat ora tyre iron or whatever takes you fancy and push it in so it is sitting on top of the tyre poiting out of the guard. now kind of push the end down so it pivots off the tyre and the other end pushes against the guard. now get someone to either drive very slowly backwards and forewards or roll the car backwards and forewards.

But with that front part that hit I went axe on it before I did the lipping.. swearing and banging the crap out of it with a metal hammer ( No rubber mallets for me!) and I was surprised at how well it actually came out...

Settle down with the Auto electrician crack!
lol!
I might be one but I dam sure have grown to hate cars ( and customers!)

You'll note that it says : "Present Compant excluded"

And well yeah $200 later I have my car back....

Apparently the short wasn't always shorting out and when they checked it the first time it wasn't shorting then, but it did when I got the lovely white smoke...
I can understand that, but I still retain the right to feel damn angry about it...
Apparently it has been shorting out for a while. Dunno how you could tell that...

Mate I saw it and you know I was jokking!
But I really do hate cars and auto electrical now days!

You should tell Sherlock Holmes no #### the short wasn't always there otherwise they would have found it!
( they should have looked and found one still! )

I can understand saying it has been there for a while if it was still small and the wire was melted a little but from what you say
the whole wire was melted up so for all they know it could have all happened at once!

( unless their meaning of a while is 1 week!
to which you say no sh#t as it took a week for you guys to fix it!)

As for $200 what the hell was burnt?
( sorry if you have already said!)

I woudln't haev alcue what the actual wire are. But I believe it was pobably somethign to do with my alternator wire swapping method. I seems to remember (barely) when I put the engine in and we just twisted and taped the new wire to the alternator on the opposite side of the engine... I had to go to work so I left and my friend kep on doing stuff to it. When I came back everything was black taped up with the other wires so I assumed that solder or connectors had been used. Looks like they wre still twist and taped....
Grrrrr....
Yeah I am pretty sure that it was one of the alternator wires. But they were all bundled with whatever the other wires were. Whole lot of stuff rewired...
I should have complained a bit more. But I am really bad at that stuff...
anyway, not going back to him again.
telling everyone not to as well...
Dude, do you know of anyone good in Canberra, being in the business and all?

Mate I don't know anybody in Canberra bit from the way you describe buisness down there I think I will have to move down there and open a shop!
Look out for;
***Phunkdoktaspok's Auto Electrical!***

I don't know all that much about you, but you already have a customer!
At least you seem to haev a small degree of care!
*more grumbling*
