kin right if i had a black 82 firebird and some plank said it was knightrider there would be murders

try having one parked on your drive.....the fu*kwits really seem to come out of the woodwork when you work on it

Got all three . all fantastic and all totally shite in their own ways

or at some point you had a pontiac parked next to the chevy ?

like it a lot . one to be proud of

. they seem to come up with new rules every couple of years , just so they can sell more copies of the iee wiring regs and more courses

most sparks  shoved a phase up the neutral when they wired it wrong , twas dead easy to do.........invertors make a lovely bang  

yup , looks that way .  they seem to run 240v household and 110v for everything else......weird


 Harmonization in the eu , that caused some fun when it came in .

good page on it

I think the only difference is the frequency, we're on 240v at 50 Hz, where I believe them to be on 240v 60 Hz.

I suppose I was disappointed, as I thought they managed to get the battery range to something like 200 miles as opposed to the 40-60 estimated in the video.

I reckon they just might win some folks over from the Nissan, just hope it doesn't flop on them.

110/120 V 60hz    usa and canada......i think

bugger . can't do an edit for toffe crappy

maybe i'm lucky . had a 79 lotus esprit for Ten years and that was good as gold as well . had to tinker with it in and out , but no worse than that .

 i still think that with any make of car , you get good ones and bad ones . it takes a handful of bad cars to sully the reputation of a decent enough vehicle .

same with Alfa's . great cars with real heart and soul , but someones aunts brothers mothers toenail clippings had problems with one when the moon was full and there nextdoor neighbours dog was in heat....so therefore they are all crap.....well you know what i mean :)

it was good but it was no vietnam



I love the way they just happen upon a workshop that has all the right bits for modifying the cars  

Still at least they proved one thing  

That the Buick derived 3.5 litre V8 is a very reliable engine  

It only became unreliable when the Land Rover Engineers overbored it 3.9 litres and above

Had a 3.9 m reg discovery for a couple of years now , never a moments trouble with it , but then it is a rangey in drag .

    My brother in law has the newer shape one and that is a money pit

will get some on it this summer . twil increase the value of it by at least a fahsand.........maybe

of the four i have had , this one is the best .  ok it's not shiney or has the more desireable rpo codes , but it has next to no structual corrosion and everything works as it should......even the hatch pulldown

yup . in for mot at the end of jan with any luck

Today is the first day it's been warm enough to do stuff on the car , so for those of you who may ( or may not ) be interested , this is how it went .

 front brakes were sticky . strip and free up the pistons , working fine now

 adjust steering box , working fine .

 fix fog lamp....bulb had fallen out

  engine was showing fault code 36 , turned out to be an air leak at the MAF and dirty contacts on the burn off relay . all sorted

  took it for a toodle around the block and everything is groovy . engine pulls perfectly and the gearbox shifts as it should . stops and steers fine .

 tomorrow is sort out the headlamps ( dirty contacts )  and clean the interior .

  The exhaust needs sorting and it just so happens that i have a next to new system knocking around that i bought for the 83 , so that will be going on the camaro .

 treated myself to this for the 83 T/a  :)

 The z28 is turning out to be a very easy fix , so chuffed to death  :yay:

nope , mine don't need owt .

did it on my 85 tpi vette and re chipped it . did not make a darn bit of difference to be honest .

put it this way , not going to bother to do it to my z28 turdy

just goes to show the canada is the best country on earth . we would get a homeless drug user in our barn for christmas

snow rocks , i just want to be able to get out on the car and do some jobs though

The Bro'mance continues

The bully is on the back burner at the second , but the firstgen is up at rockys having the full monty body job . it's going to be a lovely car and gator has a pretty clear idea on how he wants it to look .

would be great to see some pics of the trans am , if you find them just post them up

 hopefully we should get an answer from the cic this spring , then with any luck it's sell some stuff and over to your side of the pond . can't wait

Gator said you were looking at a T/A , did you get it in the end ?


Yeah I did, proper Bandit one too, well chuffed but I also got a Merc Cyclone from the same bloke.

Fjeldy, Believe it or not people do actually use them (well not nice ones like that) in the country. We dont live in a built up area and are 10 mins drive to our neighbour.

Hey Art, loving it although this year has been a struggle but next year should be much better.
Hows you and yours?

awesome mate , what's it like ?   do you have any pics ?    Steve and me are jealous as hell

That looks awesome mate !

 Gator said you were looking at a T/A , did you get it in the end ?

if i tried that i think i would be living in the car .  peace and quiet from the kids tho , so almost worth a go
