Sounds to me like its idling on choke fine then when the choke switches off its not idling quite high enough and is stalling. I had the same problem and found the best way to sort it is to look under the inlet plenum for a flat head screw (it\'s on the right from memory) screw this all the way in then adjust the idler screw (where the throttle cable is) you can then scre the inlet plenum one out a bit again until you find the perfect balance

I have a \'92 fd which is primarily for drifting and want more negative front camber to get maximum tyre footprint when sideways (and to look cool) a mate told me I need to extend the lower arms. Is this right? Is it just a case of cutting them in half and welding a bit more in? How much should I extend them by?
Any help very happily received. Jack

Yep starts from cold fine (it was cold when I did the vid)

Rebuild was in July 2010 and its done exactly 6099 miles since.

Hey Clive long time no see (probably because I\'ve only done 6000 miles in two years!) yeah guess ill wizz it down the local garage when I get a chance.

Thanks for the reply I haven\'t done any engine related work at all recently dragon deleted the ast on my car when I had the rebuild/v-mount etc. guess I\'ll give the bleed thingy a go

My \'92 fd is using water. It was doing this before it was rebuilt by dragon performance and its still doing it now. Apparently it is now out of warranty. I was told about the \'champagne test\' so I have tried this and from what I have been told the result means I have water seal failure. I have taken two videos of it this morning the second one was taken immediately after the first and as you can see doesn\'t look the same. Is this water seal failure? Is there anything else it could possibly be/I can eliminate before having to rebuild it again?
Please help

Anyone know what is the maximum amount of negative front camber you can get without major mods?
Drifty drifty...

I think my fronts are 356mm too. I\'ve currently got standard rears with red stuff pads, which feel a bit weak to me and as my car is primarily for drifting I really wanted to get more \'bite\' on the rear brakes so I don\'t have to yank the hydro so hard. As I saved the standard fronts I thought this might be a good option but it\'s starting to seem more trouble than it\'s worth?

I\'m also trying to create some serious front negative camber but I guess that\'s another thread...

You\'re a legend Clive! Are you aware of anyone that may have some brackets or some templates for them?

Thanks Clive that is really helpful. Seems like a lot of work! I was hoping to be able to just put a brake bias valve under the bonnet somewhere. Is that possible or would I have to do the pedal box/twin master cyl thing?

My 92 fd has a KAD front big brake kit, ABS deleted and hydraulic handbrake. I want to know if anyone has ever made the standard front calipers fit onto the rear and how I might go about doing this conversion? Cheers. Jack.
