Last chance champ, only in Brisbane today and leaving tomorrow with cash in my pocket unless you come up with an address or phone number.........

Got an address or phone number so you can be contacted?? Whereabouts in Brisbane ??? Will be in town on Wednesday and Thursday so keen to have a look.

SOLD for $1500. Thanks again Brayden.

Looks like nobody is keen at that price - what would be reasonable market price for a running, reliable, rust free, ready to rock and roll rice burner like this? I did say I am open to reasonable offers - never know if you dont ask. Thanks for the photos in the album Brayden.

Team, Selling my boy after many years of good service, January 07 rebuild of motor and gear box, SU carby and sports filter, new CV joints, new exhaust, needs windscreen (cracked atm) and bit of suspension for roadworthy. Currently registered but selling unregistered, looking for $2000 but am open t...

I have an 87 Boy that I am thinking of selling - F5a though. Body is in fair shape and engine/gearbox recently reco'd. Are you looking for a parts car or a goer?? This one has SU carb and has been my work car for the last 8 years, goes great, could do with a bit of loving. I am in Gladstone. Will SM...

Drop what power?? Down from where?? It seems as good as before, although I have a new exhaust as well so I can't really compare apples with apples this time. Bit more timing and it will be as good as gold!!

For those that care, you can slap any dissy into an F5A. The F8B dissy is working fine in my car - no drama at all.

I think i'm in the same spot as ToranaGuy, keep munching points and car running like crap. Any drama with putting a F8B dissy in a F5A? I know they are weighted and sprung differently, but will they still run? Will I have too much advance or not enough, or will it not advance at all.....that sort of...

You said earlier in the thread that the car feels like it's running out of legs at high revs. . .do you think that is likely to be fuel related? I would have thought a single HS2 would have flowed plenty of air for a F5, so it's probably down to fueling at the higher revs. Maybe take it for a drive...

Thanks Brayden, as you can see some of the linkages and other stuff are a bit dodgy at the moment and we had to flog bejeesus out of an old carby linkage plate to set up the choke and accelerator cables, but the main aim was to get the car running so I could drive it to work. When time permits, I wi...

Probably should wait until I see the pics but: What type of SU are you using? And what needle, spring and oil does it have in it? Aaaand, how did you deal with the coolant passage that normally runs through the inlet manifold? Inch and a quarter SU, GG needle with a blue spring, 25/50 oil in the be...

Brayden, I have e-mailed you some piccies of my SU conversion. Could you post them up here for everyone to have a squiz?? It runs about 735% better now than with the old solex, the change is unbelievable. Still rooting around with getting the right jetting, it hasnt got the top end the old carby had...

Has anyone installed a short shifter on their boy? I have installed a kit on my Beetle years ago and from memory it was just a milled out lump of steel that sat the gear stick pivot point higher than stock. I was going to pull it apart on the weekend to have a look at it and see if I cant make somet...

No other takers?? Thanks to you two fellas, but if you cant get a hold of it n2o_spark, I wont hassle you. And Stevan, that is a gamble I dont reckon i'll take, thanks anyway
