well i know that the globe holders will have rust and moisture because my boot leaks, have to get new rubber for it, so that's probably the problem them.

hmm wasn't around when my dad and his friend did the last of it had to duck out, but they put my old master cylinder on to the new booster. and i must have a looser wire that is bouncing around because the other night i had my lights on the blinker was solid, then it went off for a bit, then it...

Well i went to the wreckers and got the guy to look at it for me, and he sold me another brake booster for $66 it was out of a VN station wagon, he reckons it would work fine. so we put it in and bled the brakes, but now my brake pedal goes nearly to the flood, like there is no braking then all...

Hey guys I noticed yesterday that when i put my foot on the brake my engine picks up revs and it makes a hissing sound behind the dash, and when i turn the car off the brake pushes my foot up a little bit, would this mean my brake booster is toast or could it be something else? this is...

Hey guys writing this for my mum, she wants to know can you put a vt gearbox into a vr? cheers.

Hey every one was just wondering, is there any 4speed automatic transmissions out there that will go with a 202?

Thanks for all the feedback, At this stage it looks like I'll just look for a donor car and put a v6 in it, then put a turbo in it later, drive it like that for a bit then I'll chuck a 8 in it, 304/308 or something bigger as by then it will just be my weekend car that i can do up to look really...

i was thinking of a v6 conversion but when i suggested that to the mechanic who works on my car he said its a lot of "stuffing around" :hmmm: i think my best option is a worked 202 at this point as it will be in my price range and won't have to muck around with conversions either that or i get...

if i do get a 253, can it go on to the trimatic gearbox i have? and i also heard that my 350holly carby can go on it if i get a adapter plate? i don't want anything to powerful for now just something to cruise on the highway and run around the shops take my bro to school ect, till i save up and...

@scott - well i atm $1000 - 2000 probable, i can get a worked recondition 202 for $1000 so i am guessing that is my best option so far, i don't mind the 202's, i haven't driven a car with a decent one in it yet. @drewVHSS well i have always liked the sound of a v8 and I've always wanted one...
