    Someone actually did this.

    http://www.answers.com/ford%20puma Nope, it was an European car, produced from 1997-2001. It kind of reminds me of the Mercury Cougar. Ford likes big cats I guess. The Aussies get off the hook on this one.

    Another paint question

    I think the one on the right looks the best. There only seems to be an ever so slight color difference between the wheel and your car. To be honest once you get a tire mounted on there the black color should create enough of a contrast that you won't even be able to notice the color difference.

    how many amps on cranking?

    I picked mine up at a local auto parts store; they were heavy duty 700amp units. Good quality, $20, total. Found this while searching, it's down in your part of the world. http://www.ktcables.com.au/battery_accessories.aspx Sorry for hijacking your thread Suzie.

    how many amps on cranking?

    I make my own jumper cables, and I use that welding cable. Makes jump starting a dead car easy. You hook them up and the dead car turns over like it had a fresh battery. I got tired of using cheap travel jump cables and having to wait 5 min before the dead car had enough juice to turn over.

    how many amps on cranking?

    1. Yeah, you will blow the fuse. At 11.5 volts our starters can pull as much as 121+ Amps. 2. I would also get a larger set of wires. 8-gauge is a bit small for a starter. And 4-gauge is a bit small for a run all the way back to the boot. You could get away with 4-gauge run all the way, and...

    Sick MKIII for sale, someone buy quick!

    A good example of how poor spelling and grammar can cause one to doubt the sellers credibility. If he can't even care enough to form a complete sentence, are we sure he cares enough to correctly complete a metal head gasket install. cometic 1mm head gasket?!? Kind of thin isn't it? tokico...

    EGR Blockoff a different style.

    I used a brass NPT pipe plug and some red thread lock. At first I was worried about bi-metal corrosion as well as the different expansion rates of the two metals but so far so good. I haven’t had any problems yet.

    installing a bov

    It should also be noted that our cars don't take real kindly to BOVs, unless adjusted correctly (and some times this can be a real pain to hit the right spot) the car will bog down and possibly stall. You say you don't know much about BOV's, so I would recommend doing some research as to there...

    How well is your car running right now?

    Everything is working great; I just have a little exhaust leak. The last two bolts on the manifold need helicoiled, so I will probably do all of them next bit of free time I have. Aside from that, no complaints here.

    Ever twist ur frame?

    There maybe guys running serious power on a stock frame. But that is with the 7M, I'm not sure how a stock frame would handle a motor like the Chevy 400 that produces high torque numbers right off the line. I doubt there would be a problem, but it should be taken into consideration the torque...

    Is there a way to change rev limiter?

    This sort of thing along with a low redline is the way engineers design a motor and chassis capable of a few hundred thousand miles, as well as enable them to offer a longer warranty. Mitsubishi admits doing this on their newer cars. Over engineer it and then turn down the power to provide a...

    Gross misuse of the apostrophe ( ' )...possibly humorous

    Spelling is very important on forums. As I&#8217;ve stated before, correct spelling is necessary for the search feature to work fully. When a person goes to search for a word, he should only have to remember the one correct way to spell a word and not the 500 different ways to misspell that...
