It was asked: That's where my R16 driveline came from - the guy swapped a Miata engine in and was selling off the 'leftovers'. I don't how involved the swap was, but it looked very pretty and seemed

After you check the obvious, check for the non-obvious. Right before Shasta last year I got new tires. Driving home I found I had a shimmy. Upon close inspection I found a slightly bent rim. (Jack u

A couple of comments: Electric pumps should be mounted as close to the tank as is practical. Electrics are meant to push the fuel, not pull it. Also, the point of going electric is to keep the fuel s

That's right. And no, there's no adapter. The Nissan hose has different sizes at each end. Try finding THAT at Pep Boys :-) (I use 1/2 and stretch it to fit) -- John John F Sandhoff sandhoff@csus.ed

Not to be argumentative, but... why? The vapor recovery system doesn't hurt performance, doesn't hurt mileage, doesn't add significant weight, and _may_ actually do a bit of overall good. So why not

Yes! The rubbing you are experiencing means that you are destroying your jets. Once they wear, you'll never get the mixture right. Go check out Julian Serles' excellent SU page at http://www.jetlink

Yes, it is. Your idle timing (vacuum line disconnected, about 700 rpm) should be about 16 BTDC. The 7.5 is camshaft degrees, meaning 15 degrees total mechanical advance. -- John John F Sandhoff sand
