  1. Mobile Smales road was so cheap they had trucks coming through.

    600 litres takes a while @ regular pump flow rates.

    Guess the truck pumps round the back weren't on the same diesel rate.......... go figure.

     

    Forecourt attendants, can I help you sir?
    Yes, you can clean my windscreen if you like, don't lean on the vehicle.

    Ford Ranger, you gotta be 10 feet tall to not lean on the vehicle :P

    Like those fucking hood rats at the lights with their shitstain shirts and metal belt buckles, fuck off cunts.

  2. I hear GT refinishers are the go too also.

    Grant and Co. are pretty dang good, I use em for painting my signs, helps when I can point to their website and say "SEE WHY THIS IS EXPENSIVE! BECAUSE GOOD"

    Wish they'd take down Talent 2 though..... since NZ now hates them, hahaha :P

    Drop him a line and tell him what you want to do, hopefully he'll fill in the blanks :)

  3. Wonder what it'd look like with the tops of the doors/window frames done in black instead of white.
    The white/white makes the b-pillar look pretty large.
    Or even red....... just not white :P (visual weight n all)
    Photoshop if you post up a photo from the side?

     

    P.S: Love it and the plans.

  4. Wire it to the "on/run" circuit through a relay. We shouldn't leave our vehicles off when "on/run" so that should sort it :)

    I guess if you left em on then did a nice rich start that'd shock em a bit.

    From a datsun 1200 website.... I thought they were non-crossflow, but I digress from digressing.
    Looks cool......... but that's a lot of compressed fuel/air mixture!!!!!!!
    I'd put in a blowUP valve in there.

    There is/was a chap in Waitoa, Waikato who had a flat track something maybe a Fiat, pretty sure it was a Fiat 4 cylinder.
    It was supercharged draw though that looked very built for purpose.
    His nickname was Nigger Crusher, though I'm not sure anyone actually called him that.
    They were different times the 90's.

    Wonder how much of a bastard a flame arrestor would be.... in conjunction with the blowUP valve.

    Happy tinkering.

  6. Suppose it's not too far OT.

    Specific heat is the amount of heat energy require to raise the temperature of a mass by 1C.

    I was just kind of trying to illustrate, in a round about way, that it's not the temperature so much as the amount of heat energy being created. If it was just down to temperature then everything would melt as soon as the sparkplug went off :)

    At cruise you're not creating large amounts of heat energy because you don't need to, as you are cruising.
    If you went WOT at the same AFR then you're creating a lot of heat energy @ a high temp (which means it transfers into the mass faster due to temp gradient) beyond the ability of the coolant system to transfer the heat away.
    So both power (see above graphs) and temperature is why AFRs get lower under increased load.
     

    A car may like 14.7 at cruise due to gearing/spark/head design/octane/induction/air density/million things more than a leaner burn.
    Probably not so much modern engines with their targeted afr design parameters and their precious metal mine in the exhaust :)

     

    I'm pretty sure you know all this and it was just my obscure way of putting things :P
