Thanks for all the well wishes, both Lauren and I are very excited to have a little boy, we had him watching the MotoGP today, and with luck he'll get bitten by the motorsport bug too :P I'm sure you'll get to see him at one of the future SAUWA events :P

I'll post some pics up when I remember to bring the camera back from the hospital :D

Guys well done!

Paul, I hate to say it but, the car gene can skip generations. My son I taught to change the oil, do the timing and spark plugs when he was 7. He's not really interested in cars at 12.

Solution = have more kids -> now's not the time to consider that one tho' :D

Thanks for the advice Dave, but I've convinced Lauren that if he doesn't like cars that we'll put him up for adoption :rofl:

Just cos he might be 12 and not in to car don't mean he will be when he gets his license.. I wasn't into cars untill i got mine ;)

Just because he not into cars now dosnt mean he will still not be when he gets his license.. i wasnt in to cars untill i got mine ;)

Im pretty sure i saw this guy driving your car Paul. Except he had a devilish look on his face and i swear i saw a tail. Was traveling at a fair rate of knots... Hmmm on second thoughts im pretty sure it was you :P

    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
    • Dang.....  that is some good info.  Thank you.    Yes, I plan to do some troubleshooting before I actually just throw parts at it.  I was doing some investigating on parts, just to get a head start, if wiring and stuff all looked good.
    • No worries, now that I'm closer to 70yo than not, this sort of stuff will one day be 'lost knowledge'... and even now, I wonder just how many folks out there have the Kent-Moore J34291 shim setting tool set to set end clearances rebuilding these...but right the now, there's less and less hard parts available, and you'll be headed to the wreckers to buy a donor box if it's worn out...(or pay a shop to do exactly the same thing). In a way, it's fortunate the 4-speed was so popular, because there's still heaps of consumables (banners kits, bearings & plates etc) around ~ these early 5-speeds weren't exactly that prevalent, so there's not quite as much about for them... but it's a race between perceived demand for these parts, versus how much they fetch at the shredder for recycling purposes...
    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
