Re: South Africa - 1982 GTV6 2.5 Restoration (50/100)

Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project

You certainly have been really busy ! Small things like central jacking point on the front that strong and low enough for low nose Jack make life easy unless you have inbuilt gas jacks . You don’t really worry about rain into bulkhead in Oz . On the current turbo project we need engine bay bracing b...

Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project

Re: V6 12v Individual Throttle Body

Zamani explain what you mean ?
The design of what ?
If airbox you talking about then you can use the original airbox .

Re: V6 12v Individual Throttle Body

Hi , Michael . The torque with carbs and throttles is superb on the 12V .

Original airbox fits on top . This is no...

Re: HELP! : Wiring conundrum - Voltage drop when circuit created

Mike , have you found the problem or should I say the solution yet . Do you have a copy of the wiring manual . Check you have the taillight loom in correct way . Red plug goes to right taillight ..
