I was going to write in here how much thousand dollar supercar must HATE himself.
But it seems Zebra Dude must LOATH himself.

Congratulations, you need the most help on this forum!!!

In saying this, what amazing condition this is in!

I was at a hill climb last year and there was a bloke with the v8 version and it was pretty awful/amazing/shitheap/brilliant/love/hate but most importantly quick so FTW!

Congrats TDS, your therapist will be proud

I'd say yes but I'm south and just loaned it out!

I haven't even used it yet, hahaha.

Someone else is going to pop it's hydraulic cherry.

Sca just had a sale on theirs, $250!! Check if the sale is still on?

I haven't used them BUT I've made stickers for them and those are pretty good quality

Barry is a genuine dude, so that's a review of the seller

If mine were moving........
 

It wasn't tuned yet (just a rich guestimate on guestimate ve and retarded timing) and the 2.2 was a 86hp dog

I wonder how many times have hoops been engaged? And how many of those times was it due to dropping a fat skid

That'd be interesting from a man in the know!

Figure you'd hear a uj getting fucked before a driveshaft let go. (just interested, don't go spare ffs)

Hoops are required for any and all engine conversions, brakes are most likely going to be fine but it'll have to pass a brake test for cert anyway

Mine did not require them. (just shy of doubling hp)

With the turbo it will.

My next transplant will.

Weird one here. While slaughtering pigs on the weekend with a mate and his son talk turned to things mechanical as it often does here. In particular an unsubstantiated rumour is circulating that the bosses at Fonterra wanted to get their mechanics to remove reverse gear from all their tankers. Fuck knows why as it would make them very hard to resell later but the real question for us was, is that even legal? We reckoned not but maybe one of you guys knows the real answer.

Because trailer hitching points etc get the most wear when they guys jackknife them etc etc so it'd save them money and they'd have another way of forcing all cockies to have a turn around for the tankers. (I think they have to anyway with Fonterror)

Just in case this wasn't mentioned.
Any

time I hear twin engine I think

or from 5th gear a million years ago

Just email or call various locations.

They have equivalence charts for rolling diameter etc etc and should have options for you

Pricing seems about right.
Maxxis (scored well with consumer if you pay that any heed) might be worth looking at.

I've had some gt radials and hankook that were ok

in my experience carb tanks and diesel are the same (mechanical pumps).

lines should be steel?

i'd look up 4g63 swaps for same car, there's info on 4g63 swaps with errrrrvry thing.

I have some 50x50....... angle
Do we get to see a nice picture of the finished?

What are the overall dimensions?

90°, such wide.

Good figures for a yank!!

1uzfe, m119, northstar dohc v8 80s goodness!

Yusssssssssss

Holy shit dude, that looks epic!!!
Now I'm definitely not doing black, can't both wear the same dress to the party.

If you want them to last longer then run them with electronic ballasts as they are much kinder on start up (which is the main killer for tubes), it does require a rewire but no more starters.  V&S ballasts (both wire wound and electronic) seem to last longer than any other brand.

I have 1 electronic ballast in the garage, it lights up straight away, brilliant!

But since I got most of the rest free or $10 for twin 5 footers with EVERYTHING I'm not to phased about changing the rest to electronics unless I get em super cheap

But it's excellent advice if you're putting new ones in or working on existing, go eballasts!

That would be fancy!

But doable. I'm looking to use ultrasonics for height if I can get suitable accuracy, anyone with an opinion?

Yep.

15s? What bike you got?

Doesnt sound too promising for my attempt at a diy controller!

Hahaha.

Great post mickey

I was thinking of certifiers

Gotta find me first

I'm pretty sure you're a myth

Its why you have a flow METER and a pressure REGULATOR.
It's a non-linear relationship Pressure vs Flow.
Essentially you could have 100psi "flowing" the nearly the same amount (you can, but through the same aperture is what I speak of) as 50 psi.

With welding (I imagine) you need to have different flow rates at pretty much the same psi for different size cups.
The psi is there to move it out of the cup, expand in/around the cup and form your shield. (it's pushing against the expansion and gas and shit caused by the welding)
The flow will give it the size of the shield (volume your working on).
Bigger cup, more shield so more flow but psi (probably) the same as the welding is still the same process at the tip.

I don't weld, would really like to.
So I'm just making you read this for no reason and seeing how it stacks up mwahahahaha

Sheepers, listen to Sheepers, manners often not, panelbeating/painting/welding wisdom very often. Must think I'm a fanboy with all the likes.

Oh and your welds are looking good to this noobertus

Golly that's nice.
You're "project discussion" links don't seem to be working off the build page. (maybe just me, but FYI)

Unfortunately I've only heard mostly bad things about them too and they nearly collected the missus in a customers car because they own ALL THE ROAD (we're on the same road).

But I'm sure if you took the box there and specified what you wanted and how it would be used and went over "what ifs" in case of defectiveness they'd be keen to do the job right so you didn't come back PITA though

Can't have a crack yourself?

Rookie speaks sooth

15 degrees from line of suspension travel I'm guessing. That's cool. Thanks for both replies, doable
