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

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.

^ I second this.

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

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

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)

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.

Rear end gears
 
Hey,

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