hey doing up your daily isn't impossible, its just not too practical. i have done mine and only ever had to not use the car when i got it painted. other than that with some good planning and doing stuff right the first time it can be done. wait till u start braking stuff. then it gets interesting.

Mish im going to blame you for my points deciding to give up =P you jinxed me... jokes. I had to miss work cause she broke lol.

Hahahaha...lame???... yeah i think i noticed that they say BOZ 831... seeing as i paid $300 to have them say that lol. And no its not meant to read BOSS 831. Boz is my nick name and 831 is the number i had the the back of my year12 school jumper. And I chose that number because its a chemistry constant - 8.31 is R in the ideal gas equation pV=nRT. Yes i am a nerd.

To the unknowing eye my plates don't appear personalized, just old school white on black... and thats just the way i wanted it.

Well thanks to Smacka and his super fast shipping I now have some Gaz adjustable front strut inserts keeping me company in bed =P (I should really put them out in the garage)

Now If im reading the dyno graph thing that comes with the shocks properly it says that they range from a min of 211 lbs to 597 lbs I guessing thats per inch yeah? And the springs I order do they need to be around the same rate?
My brain just switched on lol. 10.5" 275lb springs would need ~ the same force applied to them to compress them all the way, as the shocks would when fully adjusted? But that would mean I would lose the soft end of the adjustment on the insert yeah? I really don't know and im just making it up.

haven't been able to get her running proberly since i replaced the points. Will spend tomorrow trying to sort that out. I think its just a timing thing. Timed it when it was at operating temp (went for a 30min drive) but then it wouldn't keep running in the morning when i tryed to go to work. Just backfired and carried on like a b!tch.

The joys of owning a classic or as my friends say a sh!tbox/bomb =P
Sorry for the essay posts, I just love to ask questions lol.

Still any help with spring rates would be awesome...
But I really just wanted to update to say that I go here running better than ever. It used to have a flat spot after 3/4 throttle. Well it was because the jet on the secondary barrel of the carby was upside down lol. I cant believe the guy that pulled the carby apart and then tuned the car missed it...

Now im off to annoy the UK guys on their forums =P

UPDATE:
This is pissing me off. Have to go tow the esky home. Broke down AGAIN. Please read the topic in the Help urgent section if you know anything about timing.
