I had a 30DIC on my F8B for a bit, before I went EFI. I just drilled out the holes on the carburettor because they were such a close fit to the original thread (a bit dodge but it worked). Then there was heaps of fiddling to get bits a pieces for the throttle linkage (it's on the passenger side opf ...

Thought I would update. I finally have the Mighty Boy back on the road (after a few weeks and $590 later). The starter need reconditioning. Pick up in distributor was interfering with ECU (it was reading 12,000rpm when cranked - no wonder it didn't start :-o ). Fitted a resistor in loom to stop inte...

I'm not sure it would be as easy as taking it somewhere. You'll need the parts for starters sa I'm not sure how keen a workshop would be in tracking down them all, especially the intake manifold! Check this link:

Looks good - I'd be interested in a s/c kit too to try out with my EFI setup.

BTW, your Mini looks great

Subtle, ceej. I like it

Baseball bat and a heat gun Or some PVC pipe works too...

If you are not keen for a bit of DIY then you might have to get the guards rolled at a workshop.

Is your MB lowered as 13X5.5's should fit OK. Mine scrub a bit now on the front but it is lowered 2 inches.

Apparently it's the ECU causing the trouble It is causing the starter to go back on itself or something. Not sure if I need a new ECU or not but to upgrade from the DualSport to the Stinger model is over a grand... Fingers crossed I won't need to do that...

Well I called in the RACT to try and start it and no go. Didn't even get it going with a roll start

So, off on the tow truck (which is becoming an all too familiar sight) to the workshop! Hopefully nothing too major.

These get sold on ebay....they are getting harder to find. Prices range from $250-$450. When i get some spare time i will make adaptors to add subaru turbo to stock manifolds and maybe some blower manifolds. The AMR superchargers are hard to fit aren't they? I remember a guy on here was doing it ag...

Thanks for that. Will have to check those things out. I have a feeling it might be a dodgy power connection as the second hand starter motor I got didn't have a terminal on the positive side of the starter motor so I used the one from my old one and the connection was a bit dodgy. Meh, I'm no good a...

Trying to get the MB back on the road after a long period out of action. Bought a new battery, got another starter motor (second hand), new positive batery terminal because the other one was cracked but still no go. What baffles me is that I could jump start it before and it would go but wouldn't st...

I am running an EMS DualSport on my EFI F8B. Needs a dyno tune. Software is pretty old - idle is up the shit and needs the fuel and ignition map tuned to suit my engine! I wouldn't mind upgrading to the Stinger version but $$$.

I'm the same as Brayden though - carby to EFI...

PM sent you too!

If they're the same between F5A and F8B then I've probably got a few at home.

PM sent.

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with a starter. I have three separate prices. $570 for genuine, $380 retail at another place and $196 from the same place but at mates rates.

Anyone got a good second hand one or am I just better of getting a new one?
