Hey Mike isnt codral called prozac for us oldies

Hi Mate You can cut your fuel tank down to be a 10 or 25 litre and put the tank in the floor like on the ford gassed wagons . A donut tank wont fit in the engine bay. You might get two scuba tanks in either under the floor with a reduced fuel tank or in the back with a false floor over the top. The ...

Your the man

my wife says that U boats dont have front bearings

Well it cost me $47 from repco and 1 1/2 hours to change the front left bearing . You must make sure that you get the correct bearing package for your car. The mechanic will charge you for 2 hours labour and retail on the bearings. its not a hard job to do but you must take your time to make it hass...

Its taller, shorter but at two cores its twice the capacity of a l series. i had one in my old 82 coupe . It didnt even get over the 1/6 mark on the gauge in winter or summer and if you add a 160 deg thermostat and twin thermo fans then you never got to have the fans running even at idle on a 40 deg...

I feel for ya mate . Ive got the same problem with the Vortex . The car runs at 1/2 till 80 then 2/3 to 3/4 at 100 and thats only after i took the side tank off and cleaned the cores. My radiator keeps getting clogged with sediment. I dont dare run the aircon. All the bits have been changed except t...

Well the end result was a stuffed rear bearing and bad tyres.
I had new tyres fitted today now the vort is as smooth as.. .
So the list was 1 x rear bearing, 1x cv complete, 2x balljoints.
2x front bearing, 4x new 205/ 60 /13.
But hey thats all part of the subie life style

Well so far i have replaced the front left cv both bearings and ball joints .
I still had the wobbles so i replaced the rear bearings and the wobbles have nearly gone so i will now replace the tyres .
Aaaargh

Hey Dave
Im hopeing that i can give that move a miss 8O

I say he means Ball joint .
Years ago i had a wobbley ball joint but it wasnt this bad ...so im thinking that its both joints .
Im replacing both sides ... joints, bearing, cv joints so that its back to ground zero .
Cheers Pete.

Thanks Tim
I thought that the bearings were knackered
and OOPS i had the seal around the wrong way
Cheers Pete

Hi Gang Its a long tale full of Q&A . The Vortex wobbles when you drive slowly like btween 5 and 10 kms per hour. Its like a cross between wobbling and lightly snaking side to side. This only happens at low speed normal speed is fine.At full lock both directions there is no crabbing in the wheels I ...

Hey Jay
Go to it mate by the time you sort it all out i will be able to ask all
those fiddly questions and you will have all the answers .
Cheers Pete

Your dead right Mike . A real club has way too many restrictions and charters and politics gets involved. Not forgetting that most clubs need to carry public liability insurance to protect members :roll: . People end up forgetting that they only wanted to drive and enjoy there cars in the first plac...

Hey Dave
If you put anything else in hatchie it will be like the "wafer thin after
dinner mint in the movie 'Life of Brian' .
Cheers Pete.

I used to belong to that club in the 80's
Yes they were the blue rinse set then .

So lets have a guess ...
I bet that you were stationary in a car park and she reversed out of a bay flat out to go somewhere in a blonde hurry.
I get this all the time in our local shopping center.
Cheers Pete

Sorry Mate You get w*nkers like this all the time. :x I had radiator probs myself but i had the time to pull it out and remove the tanks then rod them . Its not hard if you can take your time, being plastic tanks makes it easy. Hope the other guy did a bang up job . Cheers Pete

Mate that sucks big time. :( :( :( 8O 8O :cry: :cry: Hang in there something good will come of this even if it doesnt seem like it at the moment. The sad thing is that subies attract sub level moronic hillbillies and kissn cousins as well as kamikzie blondes. I had pissed well tanned people jump on ...
