HI Every one, Just a quick note to tell you that there is a new book out featuring add-on electronics for cars. It is called High performance Electronic...
... Tim, To get the feel of this potential problem, try operating the brake pedal on a servo-assisted car, while the engine is switched off. This removes the...
Subaru Leones (and probably Legacies/Liberties) have a good one too. I went the other way and have an in-tank pump from an EP82 Starlet. It's nice and...
Hi all, I've decided to set up Locost_NZ to deal with info more specific to New Zealand builders and our different legal requirements. It's not meant to drag...
VL commodore, or any fuel injected camira run the same pump. A second hand camira pump costs about $30 from the wreckers while a VL commodore pump will set you...
Hi all, I came across a place in the UK who sell aluminium suspension bits for clubbies. They have a nice looking set of ali hubs that they say are 'cortina...
G'Day Tim, The hubs are Nice, but the uprights to go with them are 145 quid each,and Cortina axles to suit are another 20 quid each. Makes for a bloody...
Mike, I was only planning on using the hubs if they will fit in with the rest of my Corty gear. If not then I'll have a word to a fitter and turner mate to see...
Hi, Wondering if I can get a bit more info out of the 1zz boys on the list. I'm trying to find the ideal vertical positioning for the 1zz in the chassis. The...
Hi guys, I'm new to this list and building a locost in victoria (heaps of fun!). I've started the big search for a suitable donor engine. As I've just started...
Hmmm - second try.... You'd be much better off getting an engine from a locally delivered car, preferably post-2001 AFAIK. That way you save on the emissions ...
very beginning of build, have cut chassis steel and tack welded the basic engine bay together to check for clearances etc. haven't purchased an engine yet. it...
Hi Tim, I knew that there was something else that someone had asked me for. I'm up in the shed tonight so I'll measure it for you, bear in mind though tht I am...
Mike, The Gemini fronts as a full package are quite a bit lighter than the Corty ones, but still a bit heavier than the series 1 MX-5 ones which have vented...
No Worries Tim, the price of the hubs is probably cheaper than you could get them turned up anyway. Mike. Tim wrote, I was only planning on using the hubs if...
G'Day Matt, The Gemini uprights are used on the Kestral Clubman, and probably some others as well. They're nice and compact and a lot lighter than the Cortina...
Dave, Thanks for that. If you can also give me the distance from the bottom of the sump to the crank c/l that would be handy too. Tim ... mind though tht I am...
... Oooh I think I know about this bit as I had to do a month or so back! A VL pump is good. I think it’s one of the few out of tank high pressure pumps...
Thanks Andrew This very helpful. The low pressure, high vol pump you talk of, I assume this would be the sort of pump found on a carburettor equipped car? The...
G'day I have been offered a mint matching smiths tacho and speedo, the tacho going up to 10000rpm, which is hard to find. The guy reckons the tacho will not...
I have both a Cotina (TE) and Escort steering rack. Just weighing up the relative advantages/disadvantages of using either. With the Escort rack, tie rod...
What are people using for suspension bushes? I'm guessing the recommended Triumph ones are quite expensive as would any made of Nolathane. The last (set of 4)...
Hi Tim, The bottom of the sump to the crank centre ( front ) is 220mm and from the bottom of the chassis tube is 180mm at the front and 165mm at the back, IN ...
Russell, I paid $240 for 16 sets of Nolathanes from REPCO in Oz, HQ - HZ ute shackle bushes. Regards Dave King Suthol VII -- No virus found in this outgoing...
