not a manual because everybody who buys jag finds moving left side of the body too energetic. and cheaper than the v8 version. if i buy v8 comodore SS relive it of its LS and other bits im still only about under 10 grand for whole swap over. only bits i really have to buy will be wiring loom to make it work

Anyone that has lived or lives in New Zealand know how so many people seemed to get WOFs on cars that usually wouldn't pass?

They're failing me on a fucking seat belt bracket or something, yet I see people in rust buckets with WOFs running cut springs and straight piped all the damn time.

>>13923522
1) yes there are tight rules on seatbelts.
2) only structural rust is a fail, stricter centers may fail you on all rust but most let cosmetic stuff go.
3) cut springs is not against the rules, only if youre riding on bumpstops or below minimum ride height laws
4) unlikely to be straight pipes, just fart cannons. the legal limit is 95db and they often sit right at that or slightly under.

I'm not sure insurance is even affected by changing the rims since it's not exactly a mod, so I'm thinking it should not increase insurance at all.

rims no
lowering yes

>>13925260

>>13925405

535 and the 540. If you can find a manual in good condition, buy it.

The 525i is a good runabout type of car, but the engines feel underpowered in that body shell. I've got one that I hoon around the farm in.

1. the seatbelt rules cant be fucked with, depends where you in reguards to faded seatbelts smaller garages may let that one slide depends on if you know they guy who does ya wofs. any rips or tears in the seatbelt means it must be replaced.

2. structral rust MUST be replaced with new steel if its in the chassis. suface rust isnt a fail but better to take care of it before it spreads they cant fail you on rust in doors etc as doors and bolt on panels are replacable parts.

3. most garages are cracking down on this. you cannot get a wof with cut springs ANYWHERE! dont matter if you know the dude or not. get them lowered the safe way get the springs heated and compressed. or buy some lower springs like kings super lows then buy lower shocks to compensate. dont be a fucken muppet. ride hight is 100mm at the cars lowest point

4. the rules state you cannot have straight pipes its got to be meaured at 95db so that means at least 1 muffler in your system.

the only way to get one is to make one. at the moment both cars are being bought by the drifting fraternity. if you are in NZ you cant import it. due to the crash regs changing. which states the local market has enough cars and you cant have anything older than 2005.

$30k thereabouts for a 2010, can't justify that price when I can get a new fiesta for $10,000 less

>>13925761
take the car in and tell him exactly what you want done
ffs mate

>>13925761
clarkson raved about the ecoboost. if you are light footed you will see numbers cheaper than a toyota prius.
the only problem with the XR5 was it wasnt sold in huge numbers here or australia. so your biggest challenge will be to find one.

other alternative is log on to be forward website and import somthing that takes your fancy from japan (a kei car perhaps?) they are awesome with BIG turbo's because they shut down larger cars while you are laughing.

Is installing a strut brace a good first mod? I don't have much experience with cars yet so may get a mate to help

>>13925800
you add power before anything else.

>>13925805
Suspension was first thing I did in my car.

>>13925805
Suspension is always first, if not that then it's brakes

>>13925800
increasing chassis rigidity will make the suspension used more so then the car itself absorbing the bumps... atleast i think it is
better tires might help if your running cheap ones

>>13925717
UK's best selling car since 2009, they must be half way reasonable.

>>13925808
if you add power like a bigger engine, weight balance will be off. meaning your suspention will need retuning to cope with the extra weight.

>>13925734
That is pretty damn good, I'll concede to that.

Highly strung n/a engines just have something about them that's so good, be it bikes or cars.

>she tells them there's an exhaust leak coming from the front somewhere and they should have a look because you can't drive with the windows up in summer in a car with no heater/AC

>mechanic reckons the exhaust fumes is because the tailpipe isn't long enough
>apparently the exhaust fumes somehow defy physics to come in the front windows all the way from the tailpipe at 110km/h

Jesus fucking christ I get nobody likes working on it because it's a piece of shit but it's probably just a pinhole leak in the headers or a leaky gasket jeez.

>>13925808
Imo I think a good set of tyres and learning how to drive fast should be first port of call before you start tinkering with things, that way you can start to feel the differences rather than just "it's faster" or "it's stiffer".

not all power mods involve swapping the engine. so when doing a cylinder head swap you change the engine do you?

>>13925827
I was thinking older ones, i.e. 7 and 8 series sort of thing.

Polestar made an AWD C30 (dick status: muh) but that was a custom job. They welded in a new rear floorpan from some other Volvo (AWD S40 maybe?) iirc.

Not that guy, but we have 1 fucking road in the middle of absolute no where with no speedlimit, everywhere else is 110km/h max.

Sure, didn't realise this equates to 50mph.

>>13928562
only problem is that the awd system in the 1st gen v70 adds about 200kg
on top of that the rear gets about 5% of power, when the front slips power gets sent back through a mechanical clutch halfway up the driveshaft
weld that clutch up and you've got glorious 50/50 power split

How do you top cunts find oil leaks?

I have a 2.0 Zetec-E that has shitloads of oil running down the back of the engine, over the driveshafts and down onto the oil pan. I did fluids about 8 months ago and i'm already considering an oil top up, it has lost 1/4 off the dipstick since then. There also appears to be oil leaking from the flange where the exhaust meets the header, this looks old as fuck and I don't smell oil burining when driving, so i'm not too sure what to make of that either.

I have just degreased the shit out of the engine so I can hopefully find it once it starts again, but is there a standard way /dat/ approaches leaks?

2004-2008 Suzuki Swift? Yes or No?

Looking for a cheap econobox manual under $7500 aud.

Suggestions welcome

>>13929189
lots of people do tho.

>>13929467
Clean it all up and trace it to the highest point. Oil leaks will get pushed back by wind as you are driving as well.

>>13929467
clean it, then just check each gasket that has oil traveling through it.

There are not many, from the top down
Cam Covers
Head
Block (some cars)
Sump
any oil feed lines for turbo's
any oil feed lines for coolers.

thats about it i think.

Oh and oil dipstick.

>>13929588
Noted, will keep it in mind.

>>13929601
>any oil feed lines for turbo's
Kek, this is for the shitbox I'm rotating tyres on, no tarbos here boss, but again, appreciate the info.

I have also since discovered oil leaking around the crank at the front of the engine, definitely not run off from elsewhere. We're at about 194K so it might just be worth a rebuild over christmas or something. I fucking hate oil leaks.

>>13929767

The problem with the open road is they can still do you for reckless driving. So there's still a psuedo-limit of about 180kph.

To be fair, not all suspension modding is about lowering. I put coil overs in my car before anything else.

I have been rolling like this since I began driving, and none of the cars I have ever sold have smelt like smoke, including the trade in's where dealers have specifically asked and couldn't smell shit. I also keep a gatoraide bottle half full of water in my cup holder for butts; no ashtray smell, throw bottle out when full.

>eat kebab in my car

>>13930699
Yeah, I get that vibe, there's not a lot of info about first gens with tarbos, and the only ones I see on the road are always full of grandmother, meaning there is some decent sleeper potential here.

To be honest I never thought to look at other zetec bodies for info though, I am still pleb tier in terms of researching (and wrenching generally, which I need to change) but i'm starting to come around to the idea again simply because of the prospect of an engine teardown/replace on the near horizon which will give me access to build and plumb the thing in.

And the V8 swap is total pipe dream for now, if I had that kind of money I would be looking for a H series Holden to drop it into.

>>13930740
im ford geek. if you want more info log onto burton power in the UK. they do all the fast europe fords. avoid the zetec mondeos/focuses with autos. get a manual one. the reason is the computers in the auto randomly go into limp home mode. strangely in NZ the mondeos are cheaper than the focus is.

Did the gubment send you your rego letter?

>>13931093
Yeah they did
What would happen if I told them I didn't? Though it expired on the 27th but it actually expired on the 23rd

Fuck me dead I'm all over the shop tonight

>>13931093
Oh and keep in mind I'm from S.A. so we don't have the whole roadworthy process thing

Take it to court. Rego stickers were issued for good reason. Fazing out labels entirely to save a few cents was another fucked idea by the authorities. Now the shit stains can bollock us with revenue raising fines when your reminder dosent turn up in the mail.

Did your rego letter come by registered mail that you signed on arrival. No?
Then you might not have received this important document.
