cheers for keeping an eye out but i've found some a fair bit cheaper than that. also there was a starion being wrecked out at takanini pick a part less than 6 months ago, i picked up the clutch and pressure plate, the head and most of the stuff in the engine bay were gone but most of the interior wa...

cheers for the reply, now i just have to make the information come in handy :D i'm pretty sure the L200 gearbox's use the same mounting points, and 'apparently' (or so i've heard so don't blame me if its completely and utterly wrong) you can swap starion internals into the L200 box. i'm thinking alo...

i'm a huge fan of lexus v8's, even stock they make some really good horsepower and the bottom end is strong enough to withstand heaps of mods, there's a twin turbo'd version floating around in an RA28 body that runs low 9's (last i heard, probably better by now) with a stock bottom end. that said al...

considering its pretty easy to build a 10 second street supra in japan i haven't got a problem with believing the supra whipped the ferrari. the euro's had their day but the stuff coming out of japan (and america) these days are either pretty damn close or better than ferrari/lamborghini. that said ...

sorry, been on the net a few times. tomorrow? when you say you're getting fuel you have checked the injectors are spraying? or just that there's fuel to the injectors? maybe the boost sensor is reading high (block in one of the vacuum lines?) and is stopping the injectors firing? or something else l...

ahhh, i'll have to remember the yellow wire!

for when the time comes for some excessive boost, i'm planning on building a pretty decent engine on the side but when thats done i'll take her out to the drags and try to blow the old one, see how much boost that tc05 can put out :D

cheers

looks good, damn good in fact. gives me more plans for the lancer one day (a long long long way down the track, i'm happy with one cam for the moment :D ) a couple of questions: you've still got the boost sensor in there, is that running with the wolf computer? or just not removed yet? how hard was ...

basically there's not much that can go wrong, as long as you're getting spark and fuel and its turning over fast enough it should start. check spark first cause its easy, pull a lead off a spark plug, remove spark plug, reattach to lead, hold with end near block (1 or 2 mm clearance from anything th...

:oops: ah well, at least i know now i guess. still got the same problem, don't know which wire is meant to go to my oil pressure sensor. at least i know where it is now, in my own defense there is a guard under the car in the lancers which makes it impossible to see the sensor unless its removed. th...
