Turbo Water Pipe Spigot

Wedgie is NEARLY right, the reason that a BSP thread was used in the block is so that its will accept a BSPT threaded spigot - yes, the spigot you are all talking about is actually tapered and designed so that it could be installed without the need for any sealant or copper gasket etc. Many of the o...

JAPS 2011

Well the event went pretty well, with 5 Piazzas turning up along with 4 other owners in a Vehicle Off Road situation, therefore unable to bring their cars. We had, as our special guest, a DeLorean on the stand, to celebrate 15 years of IPTOC and 30 years of the DeLorean, the connection being the Giu...

Parts

I was only saying to Wedgenut earlier that I am getting very close to completing a full inventory of everything I have here parts-wise - and there is a LOT of stuff. So please feel free to enquire if you're desperate enough to bend over and take it from the Post Office for shipping stuff from here t...

Hi all, just to report (albeit somewhat belatedly) that the JAPS event on July 11th, while not the show-stopper from the Isuzu Piazza perspective we were hoping for, went very well indeed. Six cars showed up accompanied by nine members (some of whom couldn't bring their cars obviously - getting rid ...

Looks like I may have been barking up the right tree in the first place Wedgy, like you, I think it would be very unusual for a master or slave cylinder to completely seize unless the car had been parked 20,000 leagues under the sea and left for several years. My money would be on a mechanical seizu...

Ah now, see Mitsubishi did exactly that - fit a turbo to a Stallion's exhaust. Yes, the Starion was originally supposed to be called "Stallion" but, due to a slight mixup between syntax and pronunciation . . . . I kid you not, this is true. A bit like when they called their 4x4 the Pajero,...

Chris, check that the clutch master and slave cylinders are still free. Unbolt the clutch slave cylinder from the gearbox but leave it connected and get someone to push the clutch pedal down 1/3 of the way to see if the slave cylinder operates. If all is well there you can pretty much guarantee this...

Now you see I wasn't complaining!!! I'm just amazed, don't forget I live in a country where xenophobia and (increasingly) alcoholism aren't allowed, so my comments were mainly born out of jealousy! Having said that, whoever decided these Walkabout bars were a good idea can sod right off . . . since ...

Wow! I wasn't expecting our arrival in Antipodean Isuzuland to be met with such impressive displays of xenophobia, alcoholism and scatalogical intent - awesome!! It's obviously quite true what English people say about Australians (mostly having formed opinions based upon old transportation laws and ...

Hmmm. Curiously enough, you're addressing a non-football (soccer) fan here, I'm perfectly happy with the egg-shaped ball myself!! It's a pretty good stance really; none of the stress associated with whether or not England are going to win the World Cup (and I think we all know the answer to that one...

Hi Chris, yes it was me you spoke to around 5 years ago, a lot going on in my life at that point but everything's settled down to a manageable pace now! Am looking forward to trading parts/knowledge/insults/anything with all of you (although the last one will probably be mostly reserved for wedgy as...
