    1G Big Brakes Swap, But On The REAR!!?

    Next big question, any ideas with rear caliper upgrade to fit inside 15" wheels. In Australia I run a GVR4 in Gravel rallies and am looking at using Saab front rotor or GVR4 front rotor. I have an inline bias adjuster. Cheers Ross

    VR4 Rally from Queensland Australia

    First event with a new co-driver. We had no trip computer for three stages, this one it worked. Had a third fastest time, a fifth fastest time and a seventh fastest time. Couple of over shoots, in other stages, meant we finished 9th. 33 entries. Very happy with new co-driver, she stepped into a...

    the best coilover suspension for lapping and street use

    G'day. If you have the money this business in Qld Australia https://mcasuspension.com/ is one of the best. AU$400.00 to AU$650.00/corner. Tell them the corner weights of the car and your general driving requirements, you will be happy. Cheers Ross

    [RESOLVED] How I resolved my knock/ phantom knock

    G'day. Sorry if I missed something, but do you have a MAF sensor in your air intake? If so, IMHO, you should recirc your BOV. The MAF measures air into the system and if you dump it air to atmo the fuel ratios are all over the place. MAP is ok to dump to atmo. That could be some of the problem...

    G'day. Big shout out for Turbo Lab of America on eBay. I bought an improved rebuild kit from this bloke for my big 16g in February. I have rallied the turbo four times since then and it is performing flawlessly. He also has a good video on rebuilding turbos on YouTube under turbolab. Cheers Ross...

    1G water leak!

    Engine degreaser,then hose it off, then brake cleaner for a good final cleaner. My 2 cents, yes it will be 1. the o ring at the cam belt end of the water pipe that crosses the front of the engine or 2. the water pump. Cheers Ross

    Diagnosing differential Problems? (or transmission)

    You need a jack, and 2 jack stands. Jack the car up at the rear by lifting the diff. Put the jack stands under on the jack points under the car. Get a mate to turn one rear wheel, with the car out of gear, as you either turn the other wheel in the opposite direction. Watch to see if the...

    2G No pedal after clutch master

    G'day. This measurement is critical.It has to be this length so when the pedal is up the cup sits just behind the hole from the reservoir allowing fluid to run into the master cylinder. If it is too long the fluid cannot get into the master cylinder. Too short and the clutch will not disengage...

    Gap between engine and tranny?

    G'day. IMHO. 2 things:- 1. If the car is a Galant VR4 and there is no place to bolt the front engine mount, you have a 7 bolt 2G/EVO block. 2. The transmission from a VR4 will fit up to a 7 bolt, but you need to manufacture a front engine mount as the 2G/EVO front engine mount does not mount to...
