    Correct plumbing of an oil filter mount with 4 ports

    ^ Uhm no It is made in a way that you can decide which in / out port's to use, so you can do it from one side to another, or on one side only, and then just block off the 2 unused ports

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    I didn't put enough clear down for wetsanding, because I didn't have enough clear left, I just had enough for 2 coats I've decided I'll get the hood repainted when I eventually repaint the rest of the car The pictures might be a bit thanks to my broken camera :(

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    Today, finished my power steering circuit, cranked the engine abit to get the fluids flowing... Sure sounds weird cranking it with no plugs in! Started on the walbro wiring, ran a 10 gauge power wire from the (nonexistant) battery to the front of the fender, back out of the fender through into...

    Looks like a Caprice to me... I think that might be what they refer to as an Ute? I could be way off, where are our resident aussies when we need 'em? ;)

    unbolting stuck driver's seat

    If you're careful, use a 6 sided crescent, and make sure it's perfectly parallel to the bolt face your chances should be pretty good If it's lined up right, hold it so that theres a bit of preload on the bolt, and give the furthest end (leverage) a good whack with the hammer, should be loosened...

    unbolting stuck driver's seat

    I used a crescent wrench, and hit the end of the wrench with a hammer It's like a non-pneumatic impact hammer, works like a charm :)

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    I don't want to sound like an ass, but I think you might want to take the car to a shop... I mean you're obviously quite confused by all of this, in your post you're wondering why the cable was hot? When clearly all you had hooked up to the battery positive was the alternator, twice, and the...

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    I am 99.99% sure that is the positive wire for everything BUT the starter leaving a .01% to ensure i don't get scalded if I am wrong ;)

    Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

    Yeah i ended up turning the pressure quite abit before I did the color and clear, not sure why i thought the gun was setup correctly for the primer, but I wetsanded before the topcoat Theres a tiny bit of orange peel on the hood, but only visible at a very shallow angle, other than that and the...

    Modifying things for army navy fittings

    Theres no point in doing all that unless you go full flow What you're already describing is about 80% of the cost already, plus, with all that gear, it will probably be easier to install then trying to modify all the stock stuff... It's probably one of the better mods you could do to your...

    Idleing rough and sometimes not at all please help

    Here's a hint: I strongly feel that we should have a rule here, that will ensure that before anyone makes any tech-help threads, they need to check the ECU for codes FIRST before doing anything else, so that we at least have some diagnosis to work with

    Modifying things for army navy fittings

    Wait, you want to modify the stock oil cooler for AN fittings? Why not just get a much better aftermarket cooler... Drop the whole oiling circuit and go full flow / thermostatic :)
