Re: [Victoria, AU] Classic Japan 2013 - Sunday 1st December

Do you really mean 6:30 ?
Or was it meant to be 7:30 ?
Shouldn't take long to get there.

Re: revs at what speeds ?

Thanks guys :)

But looks like i might have "another" faulty tacho :(
I adjusted the screws, till it started to run rough, then turned it back abit to get it right.
And the revs were at 1200-1300, and was rough at 1000.

Re: revs at what speeds ?

Hmmm, looks like i have the F5A box.

Bit of a noob question, but which screw is the one to adjust for the idle ?

Re: revs at what speeds ?

The Tacho is a speco 3cyl rev gauge.

Is there any stamp or identification on the gearbox ?
Pretty sure I was told it was the f8b gearbox :/

revs at what speeds ?

Hi everyone,

I recently got a new tacho installed,
and was curious on what other people are revving at.

I have a f8b with the f8b gearbox.
At idle - 1400
At 60 - 3000
At 80 - 4000
At 100 - 5000
Speeds are in 4th gear.

Is that kinda what others are getting ?

Cheers

Craig

Re: water pump leaking

Thanks guys, ive checked all the hoses, they look fine. The leak seems to come from around the water pump area. looks like its coming from inbetween the timing belt cover and the motor. Seems to leak from there and runs down near the exhaust manifold. Is that the seal you were talking about brayden ?

Re: should i replace the lower control arm ?

Thanks brayden,

Its better than what i was thinking, is it a hard thing to replace ?

Where would you recommend to get them from ?

Or just get them from a repco/autobarn place.

Cheers

should i replace the lower control arm ?

Hi guys,

ok, as the title says, i heard a pop sort of sound and the steering felt abit sloppy.
So i took this pick, looks like i need new bush's.

What do you guys recommend me to do, what do i need to replace/fix ?

Thanks

Craig
