I actually like that Duct tape on the arch...you could be starting a new trend

 

[Belly93]

[Jen319]

Okay...paint it is then

generally she looks lovely Belly...super clean...I bet you could get her pretty much showroom looking relatively easy? (just sort that arch/wing, change/paint the wheels....t-cut..done) ^_^

 

[MicrAde]

Forget showroom! Drop, rims etc

the bottom balljoint taper may be a different dia adam ? and the k11 rear wishbone mount/rubber is bigger eh, and someone said the camber changes too iirc

 

[Belly93]

dam lol reckon i could just swap the brakes over frank?

the k10 caliper carrier is integral to the hub tho eh mate (and k11 is bolt-on)
you can change the rear rubber, or swap brackets np iirc, and alter the camber if needed eh

 

[Belly93]

ill just stik with the 10 brakes atm lol

 

[pork]

Think superls said you can use the k11 track rod ends, that should sort camber issue

 

[karlj]

If not I have some camber bolts I'm never going to use you can have

 

[Belly93]

kind of figure out my heating problem, they blow hot on the wind screen and feet just not out the top level vents :s

That's exactly how the heating/ventilation system is supposed to be belly

ok so thats one problem sorted lol thanks , ade the car idle speed raises and drops when waiting at junctions and lights is this normal?

 

[MicrAde]

The heating threw me at first so you weren't alone on that one! Are the revs rising and falling a lot or is it just more of an uneven tickover?

 

[Belly93]

no it will rise stay for a few sec then drop for a few sec then rise again :s

 

[MicrAde]

A good place to start would be checking all electrical connections and vacuum hoses on/around carb/inlet mani

 

[Belly93]

ill have a look later/ tomorrow ordered an alarm too
