how much is it? if the gearing is standard then budget for another $1000 for a new clutch and trans/diff gears. thats if you do the work yourself |

sounds like abit of a joke... you can pick up a secondhand starter motor for f$%K all, dont know why you just wouldnt do it. u'd get better resale. sounds dodgey... my opinion |

he probs just knows that the car is screwed so screwed the starter motor so no one can actually start it up to see what its like. bit drastic but never know with some people |

yeah depends on price and what it's like in real life. bucket seats? check if they are standard or if they need approval? lockers? is that just welded or real lockers? air lockers? Hopefully the air compressor means air lockers, but maybe it's just for the horn? |

I think it would be air lockers because a compressor for the air horn wouldn't even pump a tyre up. There very small. X2 sounding a bit dodgy Cost around 50 dollars for a second hand starter motor Only problem ull have is u can't check that it goes and if the drive line is ok(hi and low range) |

The 1.3 one does fit. Just got to grind away the starter motor body until it fits. |

it will be hard to tell if the locker is actually engaging if you can't drive it. You will be able to tell if the copressor and locker solinoeds are working though if it has a battery in it...just hit the compressor switch and wait for it to pump up, then hit the locker switch and the compresor will pump up the air line to the locker. When you turn the locker switch off it should make a loud air realease noise. |

x2 something about that response says dodgy. could just be his bad spelling and grammar, but "good big tires and truckers 2 way radio" sounds a little like he doesnt know much about the car... could of just had more cash than sense at the time too. Either way I'd be a little wary |

| Post subject: | Re: Hi Guys - Buying a zook |
Mate...you already done the REVS check and you seem to be happy about it so id say go for it coz the parts alone will cost close to the asking price. An already converted 1.6L with lockers is worth close to $4K anyway so if you're happy....just get it

yep we started it and all when well but it has a rough idle sound like ford on cams - and hardly any power when compared to mates 1.3L also there is a very strong fuel smell in the cabin, strong enough to make your eyes water anyone can help out? |
