Quick question for Ladaspeed. Did you have to cut a notch for the 2nd swaybar?

I've got one tucked away to add, and rear bars seem cheap enough ex russia, just looking for a few clues from those who done stuff before. Thanks.

Have you had a chat with the folks at Makerspace in Welly? Sounds like a similar idea, just a different application.

Hehe, I will when I get started, but that'll be a way off yet. I'm just going to start buying bits and pieces here and there, slowly fill a box with parts I want to use. Toying with the idea of 82mm pistons for 1700cc as well, almost a shame not to if in the engine that far.

I've favourited the same engine mods thread for 'one day, maybe'. The bugger with RHD cars is getting twin carbs to clear the brake system. There were some downdraft manifolds available in the UK, but no idea how often they're available 2nd hand.

I know fabbing a manifold is well beyond me, but the idea of a Megasquirt and ITBs has a certain appeal with the above mods.

+1 for VFTS kit, a great addition.

Have bought some stuff for my GL500 from Wemoto. Very happy with them and plan to use again when I get round to ressurecting the bike.

Since buying my Lada wagon I've had a few "I've always liked the look of those, but my mates would give me too much shit if I bought one" and "Don't you worry what people will think" type comments, to which I reply "Fuck that noise, I'll choose my hobbies for my own enjoyment".

I don't know if I inspired him in any way, but my neighbours son has just bought a very tidy 84 Niva. I'm tempted to print out TradeMe ads for other Ladas and stuff them in letterboxes around the neighbourhood. Don't miss out, get yours now, etc
