Thunderbirds are fucken GO!!!!

Well, been a bit of a fuck around but I think I have everything ready for a recheck. Went to Mazda this morning and picked up my confirmation letter, the guy was awesome.. said if they give me any shit they can talk to him in person, top bloke.. Went to ltsa to get confirmation of the engine and they guy reckoned the should pass me based on the letter from Mazda, and the head inspector was being a douche as carjam get all their info from ltsa anyway.. Got all my bushes sorted, rears are from a 626 but they don't make the front trailing arm bushes any more so I had to buy some over size ones and machine them to size.. Which resulted in spider webs.. now sitting in a massive line waiting for a recheck.. doesn't do much for nerves..

Then this happened click image upload

Rush is pretty rad

The Lohan one???!!?? Decision made

I genuinely enjoy Talledega Nights, it slike the second greatest Nascar rivalry movie of all time OF ALL TIME

Talledega Nights

Tara no where did it say that the theatre was sorted, or any details actually

Rain???? This thing will melt the rears in 4th at 120kph+ ( private road) at anything more than 2/3 throttle in the dry. Full throttle ( if you dare) will see the tcl flashing at 160 in 4th. Wife only drove it once and had the tail out at an intersection. This is all with the traction control on. Do um yeah i have unstuck myself a couple of times coming out of 70 zones into 100kph area in the wet where unintended tyre destruction took place. I don't think there's many fg utes in the country running 19-20 psi but for good reasons. Keep it under 2500 rpm and 1/3 Throttle and its safe as houses. I think I have it figured out now. You can get turbo g6e's cheap now just need to budget for an lsd as they have open rear diff from factory.

Yes Alex won... I have pmd about registration. I will be taking the land barge so i can enjoy my favorite thing... contributing to Global warming!

fast company, he has sex with girls covered in motor oil

or its prequel Days of Thunder

They look great on the lawn though!

Tyre swan style?

You will be happy to know I have adjusted the display to remove the decimal, so no risk of selecting gear 4.3 any more.. also optimised the display to make more easily visible

Mk 1 Cortina and Sam's Triumph are two of my students (both keen MTB boys), they have a mate with a mint gold/vinyl roofed Hillman Hunter too. Johnny Stead is the real name of the guy with the HR panel van, he's one of Isaac's friends, no idea on his OS name though...

Gone in 60 Seconds still rates high as my favourite car film.

They best Pm me their intentions and pay up if they want a bed/pool pass etc

gtfo steampunk, i can make it look like bogan shit!

Dude that's pretty gay. I'm gonna skip the pools this time and get in touch with nature or something. Those mountains look pretty awesome.

Bed Dane before midnight? Challenge Accepted. Also, I plan to be Nats ZOII drunk for the Friday (If any of you lot who were there remember).

This is an awesome thread. Some good head banging design input shit going on. Take a team associated rc10 and just scale it up. Then sit in it and drive.

Quick run down. Remove both top sway bolts off the lunks so the sway bar can be swung up out of the way. Loosen the two 17mm bolts that hold on the bump stop and caster rods. Loosen the large caster rob bush bolts at the front of the car. Remove shock. Undo the lower ball joint but leave it on a few threads. Break taper on the lower ball jpint by hitting it hard until it comes loose and tge nut is now holding the pressure. Now remove tge caster rod nuts you loosened earlier and then undo the two underneath that hold on tge bump stop. You can now remive the caster rod. Put jack under lower arm so you can unwind the rest of the lower ball joint. Then lower the arm slowly to let the spring tension free up. Remove spring. May need to use a large leaver to pop it out. Install is reverse up be aware its alot harder getting the non cut springs back in.

I like the looks of Fridays schedule !

this is the billet supercharger manifold all finished. well, needs a bit of fettling here and there but as you can see its pretty much there.

It all essentially boils down to the fact that FCs rule. Get this going stat Mitch. Mitch knows the cage is shit. Doesn't intend it to hoon the car in anything official. Basically Mitch just wants to look the part, do some skids and do it all for less than the cost of a weekend for two in hamilton. This will be you in a few months. Good lad. Which, because its an FC will lead to:

Hey man cool car! I'd love to own another Carina sometime in the future. Though it'd have to be pre-face lift as I am particuar . BC Red's (for AE86) went pretty low on my old Carina, though not sure what the availability is like these days. I never ran the rear seat/sleve because they didn't sit right on the rear lower arms. In the end I got rid of the rear BC red springs because they were too soft/saggy and put in some Mk5 Cortina ones and cut down to height. Worked a treat!

Piss yellow. Down for an Edsel. Tis a reliable movie. Man with the Golden Gun? Not strictly a car movie, but has some neat ones in it...?

Don't say that. I got the broken stud out of the lada today so she will be ready to go for Sunday. Watch me go anyway wooo!!!

Hoping for mad late night rides to town to get steaks, they were the goods and those old boys pining over Chris old bike at the village in place haha

Turbo (the one with the snail) was also epically funny.

I've PM'd Karl - get Shane to do the same!

If you can remember nats zoll, then chances are you weren't there...............

The one in Silvia park is really good, it's got a nice lounge area you can use before and after, and it's the fancy cinema that you use, so it's smaller (about 30 or 40 seats?) but got the plush as seats. The pricing is really good, like if you fill it it works out cheaper than an ordinary movie. We did a few with my last workplace, and a friend had his missus 30th birthday there, which was awesome, except that we watched Dirty Dancing.......

I know. Get fucked.

finally managed to sort out the fucked wheel nuts, been distracted with doing a clutch on the gf's daily (AE92 corolla with a blacktop 20V), fuck i hate working on fwd's. also chipping away at a few things on the GT4 getting it ready to sell. anyway, managed to get a couple of the wheel nuts stuck on, tried hammering on smaller sockets which is when i fucked up my thumb. so i went with drilling down the centre of the studs with a pilot drill, then going up to a 12.5mm drill. well, the pilot drill went sweet, but the bigger drill crept off to the side. fuck. so i thought about it for a couple of days, then i made up a steel spacer which just fit inside the wheel nut holes, and drilled out the centre to 12.5 so it'd keep it in the middle. then just drilled really lightly until it pulled the drill bit back to centre, then eventually through the fucked wheel nuts, and hooray, the wheel is off!!! happiest i've ever been to have a pair of fucked nuts in my hand!!! more tomorrow cheers Matt

If you could get that Snake & Mongoose movie as a repeat screening, that'd be fucking dope. That's why I was asking the Hollywood about a private screening.

I will meet you guys at woodend approx 145-2 ish and escort (pun intended) you to pick up spit at leithfield pub Then I have to shoot back to town to be a dad.. See you sat morning

Sweepstakes for how long it takes for SHGWAG to bed Dane? ill put $5 on before midnight

Got the last of the goodies for the ute to display the OBDII on the screen, works successfully Have since tweaked up the items to display, now have a horsepower gauge which is a bit of a lol..

3 years no update. I last drove this one year ago, to Hanmer knowing it had a leaking gasket. I pulled the head off the next weekend, one thing lead to another and a year went by. So, my head gasket had been leaking for some time and made a mess of the head and one bore. The block had been bored to +.090 to 4.000 inch and fitted with 351c stock sized pistons. I should probably have had it honed but hindsight is a wonderful thing. My E49 cam was worn out, valve springs soft and lifters rooted. New motor time. Blah blah 10.25 to one compression, new cam, sump baffle, oil pump brace etc etc. Put it all back together, oil pump air locked, luckily it was being turned over on the key with the plugs out. I still had to pull the push rods out again out of worry about the cam. Sorted that out more trials and tribulations ensued, nothing that some line towing, pulling the gearbox out a couple of times, and buying a new ignition system couldn't solve. It all came together today for the first decent drive in a year, I was very pleased. 245 head fitted with larger 265 valves. Decked block to push the compression up. Now the pistons come proud of the block at T.D.C. ARP Head stud kit and rod bolts. With an oil pump brace. New custom length pushrods, all the metal off the head and block meant my stock pushrods were too long. Sump baffle. All together and nearly all sorted. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?showtopic=28091

Your getting LC Toranas mixed up with HB Toranas. HB Toranas were the first Toranas and are basically rebadged HB Vivas, and the toranas still had the same 1256 as the Viva.
