Hi All,<br>
<br>
Life down south is good, bit chilly, plenty busy, but good!<br>
<br>
Took the Sprint for its first run in two months last night to confirm that the cooling system was actually working.<br>
<br>
Started out cautiously just round the block, then went further afield. Kept a close eye ...

Can anyone tell me what the voltage is on their temp sender when their (Sprint) motor is at "normal" operating temp?<br>
<br>
I've recently installed and EWP Controller and i'm being a bit paranoid about whether or not it is working.<br>
<br>
I've also noticed that the way the Controller controls is ...

There was a discussion earlier about replacing the impact coupling with an escort UJ and how some people have had to shorten the intermediate shaft to get everything to fit.<br>
<br>
I recently fitted said UJ and didn't need to shorten the shaft to bits to fit (i withdrew the steering column instead ...

Yup, this would be they:<br>

<br>
They certainly do the job - comes with a custom bracket which goes round the back of a standard hub ...

Had to replace a leaky SU jet this evening due to poor fitting by myself (didn't know how to remove float bowl resulting in a kinked jet tube)<br>
<br>
Anywho - can someone explain to me what holds the jet tube into the base of the float bowl?<br>
<br>
I see that there is a brass screw-in bit, a ...

Does anyone over there other than Ri**ers stock these?<br>
Does anyone have a part number for the cartridge that comes with them - as i'm sure i can get a filter cheaper than the 7.5 squid quoted.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Garth

Mine's under the passenger seat (on the outside of the car).<br>
<br>
I gather by wiring in the fuel pump via the oil pressure switch, you loose the ability to pump fuel into the float bowls prior to starting the engine?<br>

Is there a solution to the leaky dolomite windscreen issue?<br>
I removed my driver's side carpet the other day and it was sodden!<br>
<br>
Went down to the car this morning too find where the carpet would normally be was a moat in driver's footwell!<br>
<br>
My windscreen seal looks to be in good ...

Yup, Scott you need one of these ...<br>

I looked at the first shot in that series and thought:<br>
<br>
"Scott's taken up drift racing!"<br>
<br>
then looked at the rest and thought...<br>
<br>
"No, Scott's taken up stunt driving!" <br>
<br>

Right, how expensive is it when you start to depress the clutch pedal and hear a humming sound? Reverse is also difficult to engage sometimes (wants to remove teeth)<br>
<br>
Clutch is about 1000km old, gearbox oil level checked about 200km ago.<br>

Last night whilst driving my tacho, temp, fuel gauges and indicators all stopped working.<br>
<br>
Fuse! I thought.<br>
<br>
Went to inspect said fuse this arvo to find it intact! Turned on ignition, gauges all worked!<br>
<br>
"Odd", i thought.<br>
<br>
Not convinced, i spent all day looking under ...

Well, i sorted out me clutch problem - by removing the carpet and whilst tuning the car for its first run i noticed the following.<br>
<br>
Car idles at 1000rpm, then speeds up to 1500rpm then slows down again ... all on its own. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl ...

Hmmm,<br>
<br>
I'll have to think about it... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
How about Danni instead? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl ...

I did have a 4-wheel "thrust" alignment done, which aparently was "way out". The handling and tracking is fine it just looks odd.<br>
<br>
Would i be correct in thinking that the rear subframe mounts are on the ends of the chassis rails?<br>
<br>
My theory is that the rear of the subframe has been ...
