I did mine the quick and dirty way... I fitted a rocker cover breather filter to the inlet hose (with a line tapped in from a bottle with compressor oil in it), and an airline fitting to the outlet hose... Just plug in the air line when you need it...works a treat... http://farm4.staticflickr.com/32...

STIC

I have the opposite problem...1991 Safari (grey dash) but previous owner fitted rebuilt motor (obviously newer model block) so my tacho won't work either...took a while to track down that i need the earlier tacho sender...now, just have to find one...

STIC

My tow bar has (well, had before i painted it matt black) a sticker that says it's rated to tow 3500kg, so i need all the weight i can get in the safari for traction...

STIC

I thought the LWB High roof weighed in around 23-2400kg dry...

I know it's only got a payload of 350kg...whether that includes driver/passengers i don't know, but if it does, then 4 more people with me driving and i'd be seriously overloaded

STIC

Anyone got a tacho (either grey or black) spare that they don't think is made of solid gold?

For a 1991 Safari 24v (not sure whether the gauge is 12 or 24v)...

STIC

A lack of knowledge causing an incident is an accident, knowing it's wrong and doing it anyway, that's just plain stoopid!

There's no need to lump people who know no better in with the dummies, we have more than enough dummies already...

STIC

what guy?

STIC

While it is only a minor problem to me, it IS a wof issue, as the issuer pointed out to me last week, after he put the new wof on (there are a few good one's out there) and before anyone thinks he's just dodgy, he wasn't gonna pass it due to a blown brake light bulb till i found a spare in the back...

STIC

Think i paid $200 for mine; unused, but been hanging on a wall for years...

Made a reasonable difference, but i did get the rear pipe done and replaced the middle muffler with a v8 one...bit louder now...

No idea what they are worth, if you can email me a price at stic@xtra.co.nz

STIC

I have no 'high speed' on my Safari wipers (hasn't worked since i got it) and i replaced the motor but it didn't change so i guess the fault is in the stalk.

Anyone know how to fix, or what's likely to be the fault?

STIC

I did mine (and, by the way, the seats in OP are from an STI RA, all other STI seats have a different base making it much more difficult) and took it down to Neil Fraser (Auckland certifier and race car builder for those who don't know him) and he said they were fine as they were, no cert needed as ...

STIC

I used the same nuts on my spare wheel carrier as i did on the wheels, so i guess they are the same size thread...12x1.25...

As to physical size, i'm not sure it matters...

STIC

Just thought i'd put this up from Feilding...bout half an hour ago...

STIC

be very cearful azar is an interresting man to deal with TRUST me. I would be very suprised if he will fund anything its not how he works. My past experiences with early 4 & Rotary National meets tells me to stay far far away from them. Nothing they could do or offer would interest me in trying...

my 2 c..... i have a young guy as a "customer". 91 IFS Surf. wants to do a 3 inch body lift and 2 inch suspension lift to run 35s and charge around some sand dunes. he doesnt and wont join ANY club . therefore legally he cant run the mods he wants to do. GREAT!!!! because its IDIOTS like ...

STIC

Probably wont help but... I have owned American cars, but when i looked into joining a club, i was put off by the members. All i wanted to do was drive my Plymouth/Chev/whatever and maybe get a few contacts for parts, mods etc...but, everyone had a real anal attitude, and conformity was paramount so...

STIC

I don't even have 4 lights...

I have two, crappy 24v headlights.

Tried to improve them by fitting 90/100w bulbs, replaced inserts with new, rewired from battery with relays and they still look like two candles...

STIC

Finally bought something... :D http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y161/dobiekrazz/22072011109-1.jpg Thought i'd seen that before... http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6018/5968624336_83e933518f_o.jpg Modded: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6139/5968067181_e25da58be2_o.jpg And a recent pic of mine... http:...

STIC

I was going to do this, as it's much easier to find a cheap set of 12v spots than cheap 24v spots.

Just run 24v into the pair (in series), switched by a 24v relay.

STIC

I converted (well, cut some pipes and stuck a few bits on) my A/C pump to an onboard air...cost $30 i think, for the outlet fitting, some hose clamps and a couple of cable ties... It's rough as but it works a treat. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/5838780972_710496d61c_z.jpg Must try that return...

STIC

Did I mention that an auto is over 100kgs lighter than the manual! Is that with or without the factory PTO fitted Darin?? That is just the gerbox. PTO is a manual option only so makes it even heavier. The GU auto (if RE4R03a eg 4 speed) is the same as the late model GQ auto. (eg 93 on) This auto is...

Everyone in the world over the age of 12 knows all about being a teenager; the rebellion, the angst, the desire to be exactly as different as everybody else your age.

It’s so ironic that the only people on the planet who don’t understand this fact are the ones who happen to be teenagers right now…

STIC

Does anyone know what the text speak is for: Sad, self indulgent children with an over inflated sense of self worth who can’t decide whether they are Goth, Emo or an androgynous mixture of whatever is in this afternoon?

It’s not a ‘language’; it’s just how dumb people communicate!

STIC

Funny, just read through this and i notice no one made much of an attempt to point out that the sole person at fault here Also, does anyone teach the kids not to run in front of a bus?! I doubt I would ever have done that, as I was told, rather brutally, that it would NOT end well. *Cough* :roll: :...

Funny, just read through this and i notice no one made much of an attempt to point out that the sole person at fault here was the Idiot who ran into the street!
