  1. in CAT colours ?? there was a green XB from Timaru for a breif period
  2. HAHA, good stuff. i remember that car in original CAT colours from doing Rankleburn Rally in 2010? we DNF'ed because.... Subaru !! may have done Catlins when i was servicing about same time
  3. does your fencing not allow for mole-plough and ground cable ?
  4. was the old feed actually dead, or is there damage to the feed switching wires to the handpiece ?
  5. scrape it with craft-knife/razor blade or careful abrasion
  6. yup, was trying to find thread, something to do with gruntier alternators don't imperial engineering belts measure opposite to metric auto belts, as in inner Vs outer circumference ? had some sort of compatability drama in Whangarei last time up there
  7. there is a truck deck T+G, like the retaining wall but thinner, maybe 32mm ? trans-tex is over-rated from most people i have heard, and $600 to re-do my trailer in one sheet (18mm minimum for 3.6x2m my 10x6 needs redoing, will likely add box/angle under wheel track and use 18mm treated ply... currently has 200x50 T+G and rotten scaff planks... needed trailer for carting materials and vehicles, done about 80,000km since i got it the day of the Ranfurly meet when i picked it up
  8. have you looked at some of the QA1 etc that speedway guys use ? is there a similar unit that Formula First/Ford/Toyota would use. motorbike/atv shocks do you have open/closed length

    2tg

    so basically a 2T block, with dummy shaft and different water pump not very much, is so...... scrap value unless you find an afficionado
  10. is there a Storer to be told of this Sterling supplier ?
  11. make the 'notched' section incorporate the wheel arch/mudguard for max slammage
  12. one is for ute conversion, other for motor swap. only issue could be wheels on ute, but will ensure correct fitment at the time
  13. @cletus with the new digital Cert doofa's that LVVTA are using, do these replace existing ali engraved plates at WOF ? or only when modifications are done outside scope of existing ? have 2 certed Suzukis down south, that i havn't been WOF'ed for a long time, and ensuring there no dramas when they come home
  14. investigate whether Paladin system will work for air conditioning in the same sense it works for HWC............ may get best of both worlds from solar
  15. on my to-do list
  16. when are you thinking ? may need time to buy totally un-needed random shit from the location , or area of choice

    Diffs

    spoke to him earlier, on a recommendation. not trying to cheap out, but after the interaction with TDS, i would doubt i would allow him to do a bearing/seal change

    Diffs

    holy thread dredge by me, apart from talking very nicely to @johnny.race, and paying moonbeams on courier, is there any one South Island that is truely recommended, not heresay, for axle shortening. wanting to replicate Toyota RT132GT axles for F-series LSD........ hopefullt able to use Estima axles as plentiful and cheap donors. and no, TDS in CHCH, will not be getting the job
  19. some are angle specific, and won't operate correctly if installed incorrectly. loosen anchor bolt and adjust to see if it corrects its misbehaviour
  20. Tom only wrecks my vehicles, looks after his own !!
  21. just as well i still have a couple or 2TG's for WOF purposes on Levin. previous WOFs met threshold (without a dyno check) due to size increase
  22. gotta be same capacity now days
  23. if it was being certed. may as well 305/350 it and be done with!!
  24. bloody buggers, when did the CC's stop tasting like cheese ? once upon a time there was an allowance for increase of both CC and Hp/torques, as long as configuration and engine family remained
