At 4nr today looks like its from an alternate universe where rx2s are still affordable enough for 16yr olds to get them for their first car.

A Saturday would suit us best but can do either

I ordered my jap plate and paid, then got told they can’t make plates as rego on hold. 2 weeks later they released jap sized plates.

Annoyed, I rang and pointed out that 1: wouldn’t have bought a plate if I new about the hold thing. 2: if I did order, now I could have gotten the proper jap size.

Got the same response. Tough titties, 10% off restyling my plates I still haven’t had made.

 

That's weird must be because it's personalized and you must only be able to get plates made when registering to a vehicle?

I got my lancers standard issue plates that are on hold changed to jap plates and they go here within a week

@be4ver you have some baller wheels are you able to help this guy out for 14x9 & 14x10

@13bridgeport are you wanting legal sizes or what people have stretched on?

I'm not sure, some cars I have had you never noticed the radiant heat but some I have. So might not be a problem just thought it's something to think about. Probably all depends on where heater core is positioned and heater hoses run.

I guess option 1 you will always have heat in your heater core in the car. Like you can normally feel heat radiating from heater core when set to hot even with fan off.

On a hot day can be worse so when you turn heater to cold it would close valve and stop hot water coming into heater core. You wouldn't have this option with 1 so you might always feel that heat and cook yourself on a hot day.

so should i pick up @Toddy415 new project Friday ? it in Bromley, if roads still exist

Have a laugh together at the extent of rust haha

Also did you look at sheepers thread I remember he had issues getting hot can't remember what the cause was in the end. Different engine but could be similar issue. Ignore my ideas if they are shit haha

What about a low speed fan for general around town like commodores had and high speed for if it gets hot. But make it actually work unlike commodores haha.

@Toddy415 know anyone ?

Unfortunately I only have an endless chain and a beam in my shed no engine hoist. @Lord Gruntfuttockmight have one he just had his Fairmont engine in and out.

Yes if you aren't widening opening you can remove wall below window and install door but if you are widening opening you will need consent.

I'm out too sorry got to much on atm.

@kiwi808 is checking in on his car today so might know more later

Panel gaps are pretty average, I guess the bonnet needs that big gap for forward opening?
