    Who needs a truck?

    Guilty.... we recently dragged 693kgs of ceramic floor tiles home in our Mitsubishi Legnum stationwagon. (Hey, seemed like a good idea at the time!) Our muffler scraped on the ground every time we went over a (slight!) bump and the tops of the back tires had completely disappeared into the...

    Anyone's teen child vote today?

    Oh dear - all those women in the house! Praise the lord for big sheds and powertools! :toothy10: I can't say that I know exactly where you are coming from, but we have a 17 year old son who is kind of the same - says what he thinks you want to hear, and then does something completely...

    318 Tuning Tips - Help!

    Awesome response, thanks guys. Now i'm gonna make myself look even dumber - what is a power valve, where is it and how do I replace it?? I'll get the timing light on it this weekend, but retarding the timing doesn't help any, I've tried all sorts of settings and it goes best where it is at...
