smokin'joe

cut 1/4" off every end of rubber vacuum line and refiit.

unsure if it sold or not, but Nevster Kidd was selling the whole 3sge /gearbox package from his Mk2 rally car. bolt in ready to go for around $2k

phone ltsa our whatever they're called and see if the chassis number is in the system

if it was de-reg'd before the LTSA system went online, they won't be too much help....... well they havn't had any joy with my Holden FC ute

Gasser, i have 2 utes here in timmers and could be heading north from Catlins in the next 2 weeks with MT trailer , if this helps ??

can vouch for the Toolshed branded ones probably not as good as flexovit, but at at the price they are value for money

^^^ looks like my 24-pack Granville

I think mine will do just under 4000 at 100 in 5th with this ratio. I'm jumping from 4.1 so about 17%. Similar to what it was with the 13's + tiny tyres. A bit silly but the gear spacing is pretty junk in a standard T50 and it takes a bit to get up on the cam.

definately help to get on cam. had one in my car last year, but went back to 4.6 to suit the road the event was on ..... made bugger all difference ...... must mean i need a bigger cam??

4age 4age 4age .... 

 

This one has the 4.77 (4. which is ideal. Just hoping it's a T series.

yes , they are.

if you wanna sell it, Marrku is after one.

good rally ratio or big wheel ratio on the track. be fuckin hopeless in a road car unless you had 33" swampers fitted

if it 4wd , it will have a decent ratio in it.

4.6 is in turbo varients and 4.8 in NA variants, is what i have come across so far

the physics of loose balls inside the tire escape me

 

someone dumb it down so I might grasp the concept

car goes faster because the rubber gets polished by the BB's and therefore has far less internal friction. it's a proven fact, read it in a Smokey Yunick book.

Is that ute an holden?  If so let me know if it is for sale i know someone who wants one like that.

yes, it is either FE or FC. still trying to track some registration details from the number plates, but VTNZ havn't had much luck so far. as far as i am aware, a vehicle needs 2 forms of ID to be re-registered as original, but i need to find out originalengine number as chassis tag not where it should be.

currently not for sale, as there is fuck all of them in NZ.

unburied thess in my storage shed last week .

ute probably should be in left to rot, if i can find my photos from picking it up, it will be posted there.

originally bought this purely for the running gear, but after the 2 foot of snow melted, it wasn't a bad shell, till i got it !!

he spelt sniffer wrong 

Unbolt the bell and check for the engine type. it's stamped or cast into the back.

C = Liteace

L = Highlux

Not sure what the Previa Estimas ran.

I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you if it's an oddball engine code.

what happens if it has Y stamped on it ??

deffo not liteace, driveshaft down wrong side

that's the nuts part, turns out the yellow shell is for getting measurements and whatnot sorted, the black hatch in the background of one of the pics will be the final recipient - he mocks it up on the yellow first.

ok, that makes some sense. 4 dorrs +GTR badging dosn't really cut it

Am I missing something or could you just get a new thread cut to the now shorter strut tube? Rather than moving the current section down and having to weld it together.

threaded section is often a different diameter to main body of strut, but nothing a decent engineer couldn't fix.

looks like a estima box

thought estima used the hiace box ??

yes, very cool. but i'm bloody sure he could have found a tidier LX body to start with ??

looking at his fab work, fixing ALL that rust sould be a sinch.

definately looks like early surf/hilux 4wd box. hiace/liteace the front driveshaft down other side. could be worth a couple hundred beer tokens.

Guy was flying down today to pick it up off the cunt that just stole it??

may have correctly edited it for you ????

give these guys a shot...... try and by NZ made

cum-hoe V700's are a good allrounder, were $225 each (unsure now) can be had second hand easy enough as Pre-65 and other classes use them

not as good as A-008Rs, but not much was.

with limited warm up , slicks would not be advisable. furthermore, they are not legal for motorkhana/autocross or sealed hillclimbs.

tyre shops do alignments to factory specs +/-

suspension technicians fix tyre shop fuck-ups to modified geometry.

I want to see Prodrive run BRZ's in WRC.

why ??? the Mini WRC effort was a complete cock-up, although if Subaru AND Toyota helped to fund it, it may be a success.
