It took 5 wks but i now hav my modified petrol tank sat at home. And hav ordered a fuel filter and some fuel line for the relocation. As i decided not to lift it and cut the wheel arches out instead i hav fitted sum 30mm wheel spacers. Now need big ass arches to cover em as the tyres are sticking ou...

First things first get my refund without getting stiffed on the exchange rate. I already have 31s and to beef her up and stop them fouling on full lock im getting sum 35mm spacers. So with out a lift she shud be fairly hard to roll as the rims are already off set. Im gona modify her to fit the 31s w...

Contacted calmini for the 3" lift instock u can have it with in 3weeks. Long story short when they took the order and i paid it was out of stock and still is! Sooooo.... Im thinking seen as i have no rear to my sammy i may jst chop the front arches out and not bother lifting it. saves me messin...

Im with you scottie. This is year 11 for me on the zuks. Still can work the damn things. Its the backfiring on me that i cant get my head round on this chaps issue. Im strongly tempted to put my money on a timing issue. But his carb is bothering me too but im a nebie to the su too. So i cant advise ...

Ebay, machine mart, good motor factors. Its a dial with a steel tube usually with a rubber bung on the end. Take plugs out and force into each piston one at a time. Turn it over and the dial tells u the pressure in each cylinder. Haynes manual will tell u how much pressure u shud be getting. Price v...

Just popped into my head, your distributor hasnt been knocked has it? Not a lot to go wrong doing the gaskets. Again use the haynes. Only problems you may have are seized bolts. Lots of WD40 and good spanners / sockets. Whilst doing this you can also check pistons, seals overall internal condition. ...

Haynes manual for the timing belt is essential. Basically remove fan and cambelt cover, before removing the old belt i think u set cylinder 1 to TDC. Swap belts and turn it over BY HAND! To make sure your somewhere near. The haynes goes imto the specifics of getting the timing right using markings o...

Unless the head gaskets shot, shot it should run with a misfire but i wouldnt say violent back firing. You can get a compression tester for about £10. Thats fairly right for checking the spark. Take em out n earth them to the body n c if they all spark. I know when i did my cam belt it was a bitch t...
