My point is its a piece of piss to pull the dizzy drive gear out and move it around to suit your requirement/dizzy position. I fitted a protronix billet dizzy to my engine, there are two screws which hold the rotor cap to the body, these fouled the alternator I had fitted. So I pulled the dizzy out,...

Have you checked your thread on the samba?

Good diagram to how its supposed to be as your going back to stock

I would of thought there is only two positions that it could seat at to get #1 firing where it should be? I may have a lead on a correct dizzy local to me so may give that a shot before I do anything to risk having to tear the engine apart! No, you can pull the drive gear out from the engine, then ...

You can get the dizzy to sit in any position (with the rotor arm still correctly pointing at the notch in the dizzy body) by pulling the distributor drive gear out from within the crank case and repositioning the gear in relation to where it engages to the crankshaft gear.

Actually it doesn't matter where the notch is lining upto, just pull it and adjust to your needs. Also can't remember where but there are shims involved with this. Think they are underneath the drive gear so be carefully they don't drop in. Nice alternator by the way, had one similar on my notch a w...

Your distributor drive gear is misaligned to the crank shaft. Number one piston at tdc, remove the dizzy, look into the hole, there will be an offset notch in a circular hole, the notch should be at 45 (guestamated) degrees to the crank case centre line. It's been a long time since I've played with ...

Of they arnt leaking fluid then I would just pull the piston out, clean it up and inspect it and probably just reassemble it. Chances are they are just abit dirty and want a clean and pistons polished.

But that's just me cause im tight

You want one of these.....

The 944 hand brake shoes arnt cheap to replace ;) To me it was the easiest option for adapting the brakes. The rears just bolted straight on. The fronts where fiddly at first but I didn't machine them myself. Anyway I'm really happy with their performance. There where lots and lots of surprises when...

Oh and a little 911

Yup.


The entire braking system is off the 944 circa 1985ish.

I get it..... You don't want the 5X130 PCD. I saw a kit on eBay.... Full 944 brake setup with ali arms. Had the single pot calipers, I'm sure if you asked they could give you the measurement your after. I do need to check mine and soon as its pulling to one side under braking but I'm away as of Mond...

They don't bolt on, I know that for sure. You must machine the spindle and then tap the caliper mounting holes further down into the spindle. You'll need the 944 hub and disc too. Can't remember which bearings you need but it's one from the Porsche and one from VW, say VW inner and Porsche outer bea...

It's probably a gd guess but I bet you can confirm the thread size on the mcguard website.


Anyway I'm going for M14 x 1.5mm

Would love a Subaru in back of type 4....never gunna happen tho. You should do it, Dare to be different. Thank you very much sir for ...

I did this to mine many years ago. I recall it worked fine. I just left the extra shaft alone out the back of the dynamo. No it's not the correct way of doing it but if it's a quick solution then it'll be fine. Best of luck

I sense the hate is strong in this one

Hmmm, those last two appear to be working.

Anyway......


Another for the haters, my new work horse

That's strange, I'm seeing random pictures from my photo bucket account being posted. Refresh the page and new pictures. Strange. I hope there all working for you guys.

Righto, thought I would drag this old thread back up cause I know you all hate it. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b37/redevol/154a27c2.jpg Got me a 12 month ticket of fun.

surely an update is due..... Sorry, I don't get on here much. I'm usually over on VWKD. Over the winter the car hasn't been running as I wanted to shorten the wiring loom and tidy the engine bay up. I've got this all sorted now and I'm real happy with the way it's all come out. I managed to spend a...

Erm...... well....... its taken a little longer then expected and it isn't finished yet by a long shot..... but at least the engine is running sweater then it did in the Impreza :finger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM9fq9AMCwY Its running better now then in the video, as the ECU has mapped itself...
