Good luck... germans don't get drunk... we get even

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-07-2011, 09:19 PM

Oh, and canucks shouldn't go down to mehico... they're generally whiter and then therefore pull in more coin on the mkt..... Joe should reconsider his vacation plans.

Buggy · 02-07-2011, 10:32 PM

^ I second this.

djmtsu · 02-08-2011, 07:51 AM

Lol, I'm Swedish so I'm staying out of it

Anyway, the Weber is here, the LIM should be here in a day or so. This weekend I am going to wire up the electronic dizzy and install the carb. Hopefully this thing will at least start this weekend.

Also, when I tore apart the engine I was a little concerned. I couldn't turn the main pulley, so I thought it might have seized. Poured some MMO into the plug holes, and let it sit for several days. Went out, put a ratchet on the main pulley bolt, and she turned right over. 3 good whooshes on all faces, so here's hoping it is good internally. At least that is a small victory.

Also, it might not have turned over the first time I tried because it might have been in gear. Maybe....

:willynilly: :chug:

Nah, if it was in gear it would still move slightly.... unless the tranny or rear end is siezed

Nice find man!
If you happen to come across anyone that sells new rear brake discs/rotors could you please pm the info as they are unobtanium down here in Australia.

Thanks

Sorry man, same deal here. I actually joined ausrotary just to see about finding parts and such, and it seems you guys are in the same boat we are.

For being a top selling car in Japan, they sure are hard to find spare parts for. That is why I am doing an FB rear axle swap.

PS- Get me a sweet ass dolphin tail muffler!!!! (seriously)

djmtsu · 02-09-2011, 02:23 PM

Small parts update:
-ordered rebuild kit and new soft mounts for the Weber
-ordered new gaskets
-new cap, rotor, wires, coils, plugs, filters
-RB LIM will be here tomorrow
-ordered a set of Pedders rear springs from Australia. ETA: 6-8 weeks. Hope they get here in time!

Buggy · 02-09-2011, 06:13 PM

Ya hopefully Pedders comes through in time for you. I know I had a bit of a delay getting my springs from them.

djmtsu · 02-09-2011, 08:44 PM

I'm hoping they come sooner than later. The girl said they were placing an order today, and that my springs were in stock in AUS. So, even though they give a 6-8 week lead time, she said they would more than likely be here in 4-5 weeks.

Fingers crossed!

djmtsu · 02-11-2011, 03:07 PM

LIM is here. Still waiting on the Weber rebuild kit and soft mounts. Jeff20B shipped me a dizzy yesterday.

My tranny is just fine.

joeywimsett · 03-07-2011, 09:33 PM

Hey,

I own a 76 mazda cosmo and have been searching for different rear end gears, anybody know where to find some?
