Hi folks

Its been a long time since I was around these parts, due to work commitments and a lack of computer access.

Ill give the story so you all know where i am up to.

The sedan recieved some minor work 2 years ago, (crap paint job and worked a12), and now its time to do it right this time. I am embarresed at what happened last time.

The budget is reasonable, as in not unlimited, but a few thousand available for mechanicals, and a few thousand available for the paint.

I am looking for a reasonalbly stock looking machine. No stickers, just some nice mags is about it. if I have to fit a hornet scoopto make things fit, then so be it.

First thing, Dattoman_1000

I am wanting to purchase a kit from you for the disk brake conversion for a 1000. I live in Perth normally, so I would like to put in an order for one, and I can pick it up when ever you have it done.
You can email me at reuben.campbell@bhpbilliton.com with more details when you have them.

I have sourced an a15 with a 5 speed (60A I think) for it and am chasing info from anyoine who has had success with this conversion. I am under the impression that they dont fit (height) under the bonnet without holes.

I want to go EFI, so no carbies to worry about, and more options.

The gearbox is also another issue. My understanding is that I need to massage, just a little, the tunnel around the reverse switch to make it fit.

As far as mounts for the gearbox and engine go, can I just make up adaptors from the original mounts or do I need to cut and move?

The radiator is the next challenge, and I have modified an original one so that it is now a 3 core, and thios keeps a fairly worked a12 cool mostly, but what should I look at for a worked a15?

I have found the some have had success with a huyundi radiator, but I had probelms finding a thermo that was thin enough to fit in with the current a12.

Any help, links, opinions, ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

reuben
