General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

« on: Today at 19:41:33 »

Bought a second cluth for the Monaro
The one the V8 forum told me to buy, and I did, does not fit
So, thats nearly a grand for two clutches now

 

I was tempted by a Monaro, before I bought the BMW, but could not quite justify it.

No, it wont be now. Having gas flowed LS2 heads and a Howard cam fitted along with AAS headers and 200 micron sports cats.
They all said on V8 forum, yea, you need the LS7 clutch
Bought it at just shy of 500 quid and it dont fit my LS1
So, uprated LUK clutch kit to fit LS1 now on its way from the US via Rock Auto

Ouch on clutches, standard power?

 I think that Lucas and Girling are the same but some one else will be along shortly to state that I am wrong

General Car Chat / Re: 1.6 Zaff

 Zaf B finished on 14 plate
There was then an early "C" version which had a sort of X front styling before they changed it to the common "C" variant styling
1.6 are not motorway cars as they have low gearing, 3000 rpm at 60 mph, heavy on fuel above those speeds
1.8 B,s are a bit better at 3000 for 65mph.
I used to avaerage 38 mpg in my 1.8

Why the hell do manufacturers put puny engines into bigger and bigger cars? Ford stick a 1 litre engine in a Mundano for gods sake. 

All done to please the greens and get low emmissions rating
In the real world it is constantly being thrashed to an inch of its life to get anywhere
Then, after 60k miles, it neds a new engine
The focus 1.0 lasts 10k more before expiring
