hahaha.. its not even that good, I think somehow it managed to get a "great pies" review and all of a sudden everyone wants to go there, now if jacksons was still open that would be the place to go, good photo ops aswell..

you could always reverse it and go straight to westport via Blenheim/wairau valley and then do the cruise up to marahau with the rest of the cru..

Ahh yeah, that time again..

ahh prochump.. best of the best.. good to hear its all good again, thats when a big bank of knowledge comes in very handy as it the sort of shit you can chase for ages.

Thats a well blown gasket.. was prob already weak when you put the engine in

haha nice.. true bogan stylz

hmmm.. well I do need a new butt plug...

Well there's your problem.. its well documented like everyone else has said that procomp is total rubbish.. I agree with cletus that it sounds rich, could be a weak spark from that ignition fouling your plugs and causing probs

mmm 11 11s.. love these mk1 transits.. even better duelly, should be wheelstand material

Talk about rare.. seems to be fairly solid cept for the bits above the back arches, just well used. Concur with keeping it left hook as its a yank mazda might as well keep with its roots.. I reckon you should also keep it piston, you can get some pretty good power out of those 4 bangers, specially if you upgrade to the 2.0 and force feed it.. not everything needs a rota

It's more the on off frequency I was thinking about, a 30amp fan should generally double that on initial draw..

just saying.. v8's need a lot of cooling, keeping the temps down in those big lumps of iron is a big task, they ain't no peugeot.. edit* but you're right you'll be good with 60 amps, just , low elec spec and all that haha

Are you upgrading your alternator?

Yeah, was a good turn out, met some new faces.. laughed at the coincidental colour coding of the line up.. even managed to glimpse santa

Is that the one with the 1kz in qtown?

thats kind of the whole point of rolling your guards.. bending up the factory lip..

Bam.. wof is in effect.. will be polishing a turd early tomorrow ready to roll..

noice.. not to surprised if they shit themselves tbh.. they're the same fan as the ea/eb falcon which, besides a mitzy, was the car I saw most on the side of the road in melbs.. what sort of amperage does it pull?

hey bro have you ever tried the sodium carbonate in water with a battery charger for rust removal? works pretty good

Just for reference, these au(also el/ef etc) twin thermos move 1900cfm each fan and can be had for f all, what did you pay for your Volvo's?

It's not so bad, I get/got about 2.5-3 on straight flat roads.. ford tho..

Where you planning on meeting?

Certainly come a long way from the day I saw it on blocks back in 2002.. awesome work bro, truly inspirational..

Thanks mate, that was the info I was after.. Life's a bitch and now I can't justify the money this year, will hopefully have it done before the nationals, been wanting these for a couple of years haha..

The only reason I asked was because it seemed to be about the same price to add bands, looking at the wheel there is only four 50mm welds to cut then reverse the barrels and re weld.. is prob just a flat rate.. I wa going to go ahead regardless but recent events have put it all on the backburner, cheers for the input tho..
