Hi,
I noticed you are running carbs. I read earlier that this is your preference.
Should you wish to use the standard engine management, it's very easy to run. I am in the process of wiring my F20 AE86 to standard Honda management. I'd be happy to help :-)

Hey Guys,
At some point towards the end of November I will be moving house. It's looking at around the week beginning the 19th.
I require my Corolla transporting from Swarcliffe to Farnley. The car can't be towed with a dolly as I've got a 2 way differential. A trailer or car transporter would be ideal.
Cost of fuel will be covered + an appropriate amount of beer tokens.
Regards,
Ben

I run 165/55/15 on a 7.5 and 175/55/15 on a 8. Quite a "tame" stretch. No problems at all, even after 10,000 miles.

In the cycle world they used to use 'Lizard Skin' products to cover the coils and adjusters on suspension units. Basically a neoprene cover with velcro attachment. I'm sure I've seen a product similar in a magazine once.
They do pick up a lot of crud, but if you put plenty of grease under them, should stop things seizing.

I've fitted an OE cruise control stalk and harness extension.
According to online information, I am required to "switch it on" inside the ecu.
Basically all drive by wire tdis came with cruise control, but most require it activating.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to source some parts for my MK3 Golf, so the former mentioned salvage yard may be of use :-)

Hey Guys,
I'm wondering if anyone knows any good, traditional breakers in Yorkshire?
I like the ability to take my tools down and remove the parts myself.
I used to live in Rotherham with Wilf Jays being great for this sort of thing. I'm finding more and more breakers want you to buy the parts over the counter.

Hello people,
My girlfriends Corsa has just gone pop! It blew it's headgasket whilst tackling a hill on the M1.
The car had previously overheated on a motorway trip. One of the thermostat housing hoses had split and the car emptied it's cooling system slowly over a drive from Leeds to Sheffield. My girlfriend didn't notice the temperature gauge going up! I've since fitted a new hose, radiator, water pump, thermostat and expansion tank. However, I think the initial damage was done and the headgasket eventually gave way under heavy load a few weeks ago.
Offering it on here before it gets scrapped.
Would be ideal as a donor engine for something!

Compomotive ML (Watanabe/Minilight/Superlight style) would look really good on this.

I have exactly the same engine, same inlet manifold and same cam cover, with Diesel written on the top even though it definatly is a TD, it came from a P reg Astra, maybe they were slightly differences depending on age or what model they were installed in, or as it went into a Corsa before I got it, maybe the cam cover and inlet are of the corsa 1.7D ! Cam cover and top half of the inlet are off a 1.5D (n/a) Corsa

I've got 4x 15" Mercedes Steel wheels, good condition, one has been used to practice some airbrushing and pinstriping on. Edit: Perfect for banding as they are high offset, I'm in Leeds too

F20C from a Honda S2000! Stupidly overpriced, however you get 240bhp, a six speed box and 9000rpm... Hence why I've got one in my Corolla. On a serious note, I like the idea of the Isuzu Diesel. Plenty of torque for skidding, easily tunable, runs on veg and 45mpg when driving normally. P.S. If you fit the Izusu, I will be straight down with cash for the asking price!

165/50/15 can be had for less than £40 a corner! I thought that was cheap!
