Does anyone know what engine the green Hatch in this video is running? Anyone have any specs on build?

Its a bit like the great idea Toyota had, put the starter motor in the V-Channel on their V8 Turbo Diesels Good job Toyota, taking a easy job before and now making it an 8 hour job!!!!

Whats the most painfull diagnosis finding you've had to do, being that all cars are getting more of a pain in the arse to work on? Mine: Not long after coming out of my apprenticeship. Vehicle: 2008 Astra (Auto) Fault: Shift lock won't dis-engage when key on. (Centre Console removed, shift lock move...

Any chance on releasing a $$$$ figure on the airbag setup?

Would love to bag the hatch

Chad,

I know this is well and truly over, but is MAD Motorists are actual club or just a yearly event?

Would be great to go on some cruises with a local club, ie the Hunter Valley.

Prob taking this Post Feed away from its actual topic.... But I have seen (Partial List): Boost gauge on vacuum line Slabs of concrete in the boot of a falcon to give a nose "raised" profile Section of carpet sitting on top of a Matiz engine because customer complained engine was to noisey...

To add to the sucking noise- Connect a Boost gauge to a vacuum line and then you'll have visual too

Being a mechanic, its amazing the number of cars I've actually seen this done too.....

Yeah I've been reading about that. Any help with a bit more detail on the bracket modification? is it the angle, length or height that needs modified?

Cool Cheers guys. I had a look at the alternator on mine and its different to the picture in the catalogue on the Repco site. Is the F5A alt different to the F8A alt? wondering if someone has swapped it.... Either that or repco is wrong or I have a completly different alternator. Either way, I think...

Looks good man.

Im waiting for the day I can strip back the hatch, once I get another vehicle then I'll pull her apart.

Out of intrest, what was the charge for the soda blasting?

Anyone know if the bearings in the Alternator can be swapped out. Mine are noisey and I'm counting down the days when they completely flog out....

Where can I get new chrome wheel nuts for the hatch?
Does anyone know what size thread they are?
Or, are they something I can get re-chromed?
Same questions in relation to centre caps aswell. (Standard 12" rims)

Cozza, Hit up Husky, he is putting in an order for brand new carby's. From what I hear, this will be pretty cheap compared to the time and money spent sourcing parts. Also it means that every component is new

PM sent

Will this carb fit and work on the F5A?
