It really isn't important

shame on you. Good maths is beautiful: e^(i*pi)+1=0.

Jules, there are many ways to do that, and you know they're all wrong.

If only my sparrow turd welding looked that good. Some of those little inverter welders are so easy to use, my cigweld may be traded in.... The high school metalwork teacher called my welding cocky shit from 30,000 feet :cool: it would be a good idea to google all this? there are lots of little tip...

Who's handy with an arc welder? I'm not. Even on what should be a dead simple weld, I still get little inclusions: http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n373/dhayden78/2011-11-07_11-55-00_905.jpg The picture of the weld isn't very clear, but there is a little spot of slag trapped in the middle. You can...

185/75R14 because bigger is better. Clearance will be fine.

I'd be leaning away from Bob Jane All rounders, just because I feel better about buying tyres that the tyre manufacturer puts their own name to. Probably not much in it though.

Budget $110 each and you should get some change.

Don't bother with slotteds, especially not on an L. Get a decent brand if you can.

Bendix pads ftw. They work, they last and they don't create heaps of dust.

Easy way would be plug the external speaker connection on your CB into the auxiliary input on your stereo and select that when you want it. Alternatively, some stereos are made to be hooked up to a phone handsfree kit, and when a phone call comes in they either mute the stereo or switch over to play...

Dredging up the weight issue for anyone who's interested: -3/4 worn Sumitomo 185R14 LT mounted on a desert rat = 19kg -bald 27" Super Tripper on a desert rat = 20kg -half worn 175/65R14 on a different steel wheel (trailer) = 15kg -a half worn 31" Cooper ST on a 16" alloy is 30kg (and I have to lift ...

A360 is used in most VL-VT Commodores and early EJs. MPFI L Series use A345, which is much less common and more expensive.

An A360 can be made to fit the L airbox with some foam packing.

I think it's just coincidence because whenever the ECU doesn't get the true VSS signal, the ECU goes into limp mode (fans stay on and engines revs slightly higher). You sure of that? My car has never had a VSS, and has never limped. That's on both the Impreza and Lib ECUs. It has thrown an air cont...

Need some help i have at last obtained a 1992 Brumby whitch is great condition except for 2 items 1st the carbies not to good is it worth bolting on the webber i see avertised on ebay and i noticed they talk about two types??, the other i am haveing a real problem with is the headers and exahaust s...

Stop agonising over the details and just get something.

Newer is better. Go the 185s.

There was an excel spreadsheet floating around on USMB with specs of different engines for calculating displacements, compression ratios etc of frankenmotors. Will try and find it later on.

I looked at EJ18 heads onto an EJ22 block. IIRC the EJ18 inlet valves were 1-2mm smaller in diameter than the EJ22 ones, exhaust valves were the same, ports looked the same and the chamber volume was suitably smaller on the 18. Probably would have worked, but I didn't have the means to experiment wi...

To make the drivetrain handle EJ power, you need an EJ spec clutch and EJ full time AWD gearbox. Or you can keep all the original EA gear, drive sensibly and you'll be fine. Just go easy on the throttle in the wet.

To answer the title question, yes, passenger tyres will be fine for occasional aired-down use. LTs would just be less likely to suffer damage. That LT designation describes construction of the tyre - number and type of plies and characteristics of the rubber compound. Traction is a function of rubbe...

steptoes good hahaha nah only complaint i have with the ba,s is the radiator if they crack in the wrong place it destroys the gearbox... last time i replaced one it cost the customer 2200 That's true of all auto radiators. Like Steptoe said, BA>AU3. I had BA V8 sedan, and never had a problem with i...

Hand winches are the go. Cheapish, easily transferable between cars and they can pull you in any direction. A hand winch hanging from a beam makes a pretty good engine hoist too.

My ebay one hasn't broken yet.

Not without serious steel reinforcement behind the alloy bar.

Don't have any experience with Toyo, but I can't recommend Coopers. Mine have chipped and worn quickly, and the mileage guarantee doesn't apply outside cities (handy for a "premium" offroad tyre eh?)
