Being pre-bent , I would go SS. Bending SS line is a bitch especially when you start getting to bigger lines like 5/16” or bigger . You can’t just reach up under there and tweak the bend with your hands - unless you are incredibly strong . i just did 3/8” SS for supply line in the stock position and it was really tough especially when you have to pull it out every time you need to tweak it

Yes, they are correct for all s30 models.

Unfortunately you can’t take that for granted that all the rings are the same. Why and what new bolts are needed?

ISKY sent me the wrong card with my cam. I spent a day turning my engine over and over and rechecking numbers to try and make them come out. I finally got him on the phone and we cleared it up. It’s frustrating if you don’t do this a lot or are not confident of your skills- you swear your doing something wrong when your not. Not easy telling Mr. Iskerdian his cam card doesn’t make sense . I also never hit my numbers exact. Lots of slop in rocker arm ratios and other variables. If the cam grinder says they are good numbers then go with it

Simple answer is yes

Congrats Jamal!

I would personally shoot for getting the intake closing as close to card as possible, even slightly advanced to make other numbers to come out

Don’t think of it as “too soon” , but advanced 3 degrees Cliff. It’s already ADVANCED , so moving sprocket would advance it more .

If any kit requires you to give up your parking brake and you have a manual trans- you might think twice. I miss my parking brake and it adds to the cost in most disc upgrades . Bigger front discs and rear drums in excellent condition should be adequate for all but racing

Never mind - I see it on the card.

Did they specify what valve lash to check numbers at? Some cam cards specify numbers at 0 lash

Got to look carefully - especially if painted. I did find the spare that was in 4858 and it was dated 70!

Found it - looks like 3/78

I have not found such a stamping other than the pic I took. I guess I need to keep looking. I took the measurement letting folks know that these were not the earliest rims which are only 4.5” wide . Yes these are 5” wide rims i tried finding a pic of this stamp date but didn’t have any luck

I just took a L24 apart and bores were drilled( bored) to 86mm - which I guess is not unheard of. Maybe not recommended doing before sonic testing. You don’t have to go huge bores to make fast fun engine . Put money in the cylinder head . 150 hp at the rear wheels is fun car with correct gearing

Steelies that have been powder coated . No damage and only a few marks left during tire removal . The only stamping on them looks like a 7(?) Asking 300 shipped in the USA

Expecting any kind of refinement from an abused 45 year old car is unrealistic . Exhaust smell issues are a problem when not addressed on these cars. There is a ton of info available on this issue. These cars are easy to work on and have good support and are relatively inexpensive to work on. And as your said, the smile is there when you drive it. Dodgy electrical is from abuse and age and just takes a little effort to set right- but it’s not an old English car. There’s hardly a better true classic sports car for the buck these days . Good luck. Also make sure the hatch inner vinyl panel is in place and sealed . Exhaust will suck in from there Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

When I looked at the site - it shows the grill with only to attachment points? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Make sure they click in place when you install them. I had to pop them with a dead blow to get them to seat - nice tight fit! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Funny thing is the steering wheel looks like the exact one that was on 4858 that I acquired - if my memory is correct Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Good point on the valence and the fact there’s a spare valence laying in the hatch. Those are a PITA to fit also- no properly curved Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Did you just acquire this ? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

No- lightened a 240mm flywheel to 16 pounds . Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
