Nice one mate! you'll have to bring it out fishing some time. I took a brief drive in a h6 fox a few weeks back. Very smooth motor, nice and powerful in the sand. 181hp in a L body should be sweet!

Just throwing it out there, the only difference between the 10A and the 15A 240v plug is the Ground terminal size and its only bigger to prevent it from being plugged into a 10A socket. There is no electrical reason for the larger terminal. Now for the wiring in the house and the circuit breaker, wh...

Had three goes in the wagon today, best was around 11 seconds on the phone stopwatch. I dare say if someone who could actually drive properly had a go it could do it in about 10. Bumping the redline up to 6500 instead of 5500 would prolly do the trick. Plenty fast enough for me. Il try it in the vor...

Il do some tests for you Jonno, Im pretty sure my wagon is now faster then the vortex, but I dont know how fast either of them are. Need to do some fresh WOT tuning with my new exhaust and intercooler anyway.

I also recommend goggles that seal around your face to keep the dust out of your eyes Safety glasses dont cut the mustard.

Yeh I've had two fail on me. I did the math and it was cheaper to replace a set of points every time they wear out then replacing those modules so I slapped my old points dizzy back in.

Hell yeah Bennie, same goes if your this side of the rock. Pretty sure Ruby's new GB will negate any loss from gearing so It may actually be a close one.

dont trust the volt gauges in the clusters too much. Certainly mine has a mind of its own. Took me 3 or 4 times stopping and checking the voltage at the battery before I was convinced though. Often a poor alternator will need a short rev after starting before it kicks in, though if your alternator l...

Best not spilling the beans on a public forum or Il get someone hurt. If said 3rd party reader cant figure it out themselves then probably best they dont try.

Crikey SB, those things are monsters! Much better then my spring compressers, though to their credit they will fit most cars!

Getting them back off the springs is the scary bit ;).

No special tools, just a keen eye. Used a set of verniers around the outside of the pulley, teeth to pulley distance. Tacked it on in two spots, put it on a spare engine I had sitting around an spun it to check the runout. Deeming it good enough I then proceeded to weld it on in about 6 or 7 spots w...

I keep an eye out but dont bother boring everyone with my dribble. Yeah Mine is 89 or 88 point something. I had to set it in the software but it was ages ago. Vast amounts of room with the distributor gone, can have a party under the airbox now...well maybe a small party. I went the coil pack to get...

No problems with belt clearances. You may need to sand down the engine casing so it doesnt rub. Also may have to be careful with position with the edis module, I dont know how sensitive they are to the missing tooth position. Mine could go pretty much anywhere so long as a TDC didnt correspond to th...

L temp gauge definitely reads lower with the ej sender, was only just getting up over the cold line when the thermo fans kicked in. It was cycling just fine at idle the other day when Paul and I were looking at it. He mentioned that there was a fair bit of crap in the radiator pre flush but I didn't...
