by which he means he prefers to go for the MSD "escort vehicle" look!

belated birthday wishes lokka! may you and AL go from strength to strength in 2009!

Montero Sport/Challenger?

They say not to use it for more than 5 minutes continuously for a REASON! because its not good for the motor, all you need to do is give it a minute or so of a break every 5 minutes and it works fine... I use the same model karcher and stick to the instructions, Surprise Surprise, it works fine!!

many happy returns of the day dude! hope you have a great one! @ Ash: 30's club? :S

what about that place near parliament? not the AMRC tarmac, i mean that large car park just next to the parliament grounds?

I'll reply on behalf of milindu on this one, the bumpers were actually turned out from scratch, made from copper and then chrome plated... original items were too far gone to be of much use if i remember correctly.

Speaking from (recent) experience, the only real way you can carry out a restoration without losing your shirt on it (or else, ending up with a shoddy job at a palatable cost) is to find capable workers who aren't based at a particular garage and have them do it at home. Such people do still exist, although they are an increasingly endangered species. I was lucky enough to find a great Tinker and an equally capable painter, and also to have an uncle who is into cars and provided a simply immense amount of support including the use of his residence for the resto.... Personally i'm very pleased with the results. However, this method will involve a lot of personal effort, since you have to do most of the running around yourself, and if you have a tight schedule its VERY tough, but at the end of the day the feeling of having accomplished something is nearly as great as having a well restored car

I agree on the EK9, it will be remembered for it's performance and giant-killer nature, as well as the engineering significance of that lovely motor. as for the 406, i'm thinking most people are talking about the Coupe, which really is a lovely piece of work.... i mean we only have to look at the good old 504 to see the logic, the sedan is still used as a everyday hackabout in many parts of the world, but the lovely coupe and convertible are now considered "Classic" so i dont think it's too much of a stretch to assume the 406 coupe will join those ranks IMO

Very nice... too bad they saw fit to limit it's performance, I really want to see vokswagen's attempt at vanity publishing get comprehensively walloped pretty quickly.. I know that american concotion, the SSC Aero something is SUPPOSED to be faster, but i mean something that has the whole package, that will outclass that hideous truck in all aspects. And im guessing the only people who will be able to pull it off are the boys from woking, after all they've done it once before! btw, is it just me or does this have a certain resemblance to the GTR about the roofline?

Many happy returns of the day dude!

this will probably help http://specs.amayama.com/mitsubishi/pajero/1991_1/ and i think this is the grade you're looking for. http://specs.amayama.com/specs-mitsubishi-...-january/17648/ since the vehicle you mention is apparently a '92, it will be in this set of specs, as the next revision to the pajeros was 1993.... i'm guessing that's when the leaf spring model was dropped altogether... of course according to this sheet, the engine on the XRII grade is SUPPOSED to be a turbocharged unit.... so you might want want to check that on the relevant vehicle... Hope this helps, Cheers!

this is indeed a really useful resource... it seems to be almost identical to the electronic parts catalog that they have at the toyota parts department... Thanks a lot ferrari machan, scored gold on this one!

Yeah about time it's hauled back to abandoned classics.... got a few interesting pics today.. will put them up in a bit...

Thanks very much guys yeah must have a treat soon

Thank you Don. and Malith

Hey guys... thanks a lot all of you

yeah i use a couple on my digicam.... what do you need?

On a slightly more upbeat note... Petrol is to reduce by another 20 bucks today... every little bit helps i guess.

yeah... in fact helrazor, you should hold off answering for a bit... let some others have a go...

you think so? i thought the angle and the way it was cropped would make it tough.... well you shouldn't answer anyway

here chaps.. try this one out.. should be a breeze

Thai SC has given a ruling dissolving parliament and Banning PM and key players from politics for five years... so the thai's convictions have actually achieved something... http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections...spx?ARTID=33940 Too bad chinthanaya and his head honchos are rather better at sweeping their misdeeds under the carpet and at the same time playing the "patriotism" card for all they're worth... ensures that they'll continue to fool most of the people all of the time!
