race 2 was sweet,they got all tangled up and opened te door for me ae,as i was pinning it she got loose as,lost a bit of ground but damn that felt good knowing i could peddle passed the carnage.. one of my mates took some friggin epic shots,one of them im gonna get blown up and framed... hes gonna put them on a cd for me so i guess i have to wait a few days for that..

King of the Coast went off today.. track was wet as,real pluggy.. i finished both heats with a total of 11 points,ended up tied on 17th with 2 other drivers. coin toss put me back on grid 19 for the finish race.. was f---n stoked to qualify. car was going bloody good,but my ability and skill level lacked a bit. for some reason i kept spinning mid corner of 1&2..the rest was fine.. took some hits, gave some back, including a club member into the wall...sorry hads..not i put a slider into 89n brad hosking but i got it in the side from another car... the end result was a broken front arm which meant my front end was sliding left to right. so that was the final done.. thoroughly enjoyed myself and looking forward to next season... war of the wings and cromwell xmas champs!!!!! Pics to come from todays effort..

last meeting for the season at greymouth this weekend with the KING of the COAST!!! 34 stockcars have been confirmed as entries....im one of them.. 2 groups,highest placings after 2 heats will go onto the final race for the King of the Coast title. hopefully there will be a hell bender race for the non-qualifiers so there will be mass carnage.. 8 superstocks are also confirmed.. so now ive been given the day off work to get the car all ready for the big day... need a new muffler for it to be legal..im sure its over 95db with the supertrapp..

is your car insured?if it is you might wanna get one on it quick smart... cos if it does go up in smoke they cant say that it was leaking fuel blah blah blah... nice car though

the rubber one... it runs up to the carby,then from one to the other...

Hi MANDA,in your second pic of the engine bay do you know your missing a hose clamp on the fuel line??

well...got the box back in with all the measuring,repairing some ones f ups,and put it together... fired it up and what the f do you know....it works mint!!! stoked....and just picked up a winch for the trailer for $10 and 2 wheels with new 8 ply tyres and a spare stockcar rim with mint tyre for $111 for the 3....so stoked.. still need the fan for this weekends racing.. and had a new arrival this week..my wife gave birth to a baby girl...

should be in tech...but you wanting to know if a vh commy engine will fit in a stagea??? is the commy donk a v8? just need to check dimensions.. i do know of rb26s going into commys piece of wees.. so shouldnt be a prob going the other way...but itd be far simpler staying witha rb25det than messing with pig iron technology...

had the box out for a while now at work.. have found a few problems with it that ive been trying to iron out the bugs. its actually easier to use bug spray than an iron... got another clutch plate to put in so it should be back together this week.. on the weekend i went to nelson for the stock shock.. while i was there i picked up a set of rims for it..theyr like modgies but 15" and white. also picked up a brand new Y body for the winter make over so shell look real spanky next season.. other things i need to do before the next meet i attend is to get a large thermo fan.. sort out a fuel leak on some hose joins near the tank. get some 15 "inner tubes for the rear tyres and some 14s for the fronts so i can have some spares.

windscreen washer motor in the boot plumbed into tail pipe, sparkplug in a nut welded to tailpipe,hidden of course. push button powers both washer motor and coil..

exactly whats i was after..but we dont run speedos so at the moment the car is pulling 6500rpm,in 3rd with is 1:68, through a mazda diff that is most likely a 4:1. tyres are 205/70/15 and a 215R 15... can speed be worked out by that?

oh but the best news is ive found someone whos coming over to greymouth tomorrow to take my truck away and leave a trailer behind!!!!! straight swap.. its a single axle,sprung,tilt deck. its 3920x1850 deck size.. and hes just put a new wof on it!!!! and repainted it and put on new boards....FRK yeah!

righto so got the box back together and in the car. checked for operation whith driveshaft off,then will it on with wheels spinning,seemed to be all good except for 3rd,sometimes it wont engage gear,itll just graunch,but if ya keep putting it in itll stay and work sweet. only thing i can think of is that broken tooth.. unless a detent spring has been lost.. atleast i can say i didnt put it back together.. so if it doesnt go all to plan this weekend i will pull the engine out and sell the chassis as a complete roller minus engine. might keep the box and replace the gear and sell it,cos theyr super expensive. i got myself a 3 speed hq box,so im damn stoked got 4 monroe gas shocks to build new coilovers with. just need to get the sleeves and nuts and top hats made up. get new springs..but ill keep them for the new chassis..

i havent been through Puke since i left 5 years ago.. if you cruise passed the high school youll see all the fencing around it that i built before i left... well,me and the boss..

Thats Pellow Bros.....They were moving the last time I was ther but I'm not sure when or where. Are you from up that way shizzl? Corey yup born n bred at pukekohe hospital.. pellows thats the one..mustve cashed in the wharehouse ae...

theres a wreckers up in pukekohe thats only wrecks fords. when i lived there they had a mk2 esky with a turboed 2L in it,was a B grade saloon that raced at meremere... it was running a suck through set up with a big holley 4 barrel on it. maybe give them a call see what advice they may have...

when i had my 2 dr mk2,i had a turbo pinto in it,originaly had a garret suck through manifol on inlet side..i biffed it and got a injected sierra/grenada manifold and loom. the manifold sat under the bonnet sweet. i had a manifold made up out of steam pipe bends,cost $250,looked the shiz. used a wrx turbo. however i never finished it cos i moved south sold for not much money.. but had a proven block with thicker head gasket and forged pistons.. there were heaps of pics of it on here but theyr gone somewhere? maybe cos it was back in like 2004/5?????

how do you work out what diff gear you need to run? the issue is,i really wanna use a IRS diff set up in my new stockcar, and will be changing the gearbox set up also. so may change to either a 3 or 4 speed HQ type box.. however i dont know what those gearbox ratios are.. all i know is that my current set up is a zf box with 1.68 3rd gear,and mazda diff, most likely a 4.1,at the end of the straights the engine is pulling 6500rpm... running a 215R15 on the right rear and a 215/70 on the left.. ive been told that the 4 speed holden box is all wrong for the normal diffs they run in them.. so if i can use a 4 speed box i will cos theyr cheap and easy to get.. but what gear ratio should i need to run??? will try to either use a nissan(skyline or sim) or rx7 diff.. if anyone can shed some light on it that would be mint,if not,tough shit' id also like to be running a lower profile tyre like a 60,,ive got some mint michelin 225/60s for it id like to run..

does anyone know what ratios skyline gtst diffs run? are laurel/cefiro diffs different?? anyone on here own a skyline?? can ya measure how wide the rear end is from the outside of the wheels??? chur

dont drive it when im on the road please... yeah,first off check the bolt at the joint,if thats done up check the spline,if its poked,replace.. id hate for you to have no steering going into a corner and wrecking yourself or someone else ae..

17th jan, was meant to be modified champs in greymouth,so was out in the shed sorting the car getting shocks set up and setting bumper heights.. went to drive it out to load onto the truck and wouldnt get any get except 4th. odd...even with the engine shut down no go.. it was idling for about 5mins when i noticed smoke from somewhere and then a bearing noise,i knew it was from the engine cos it wasnt loud. then i shut it down,popped the shifter off the turret and steam was coming from the box. oil was milky as a white chocolate bar...looks like water had got into my box somehow.. had new oil before 1st race.. pulled the box out,took it to a mates place and we pulled it apart,a shit-load of filings were inside,both layshaft bearings were toast from the milky oil... and the input shaft bearing was marginal.. 7:30pm last night after the box was stripped we went to the local speed/parts shop. he stays open till like 11pm,got new layshaft bearings,ordered a new high load bearing and even used his press to remove 2 of the shited bearings,the other we had to cut off with a precision wharehouse grinder.. socket-pressed on the layshaft bearings,now just waiting for the main shaft bearing to arrive. the situation with the gear sets aint too bad really.. the reverse gear has 1/4 of a tooth missing...but it will still work-hopefully.. the rest are fine. then i also found that the shifter ball seat is missing,that would make gearchanges real shite. but i guess well see how it goes once we get her back together.. thats all for now.. oh,also came up with a new paint scheme,but wanna do some graphics to go over it... get your ideas in

well ive been offline recetly... so a bit of an update... 30th dec i went down to cromwell for the xmas champs.. the stockcars were invited as a demo class. there were 12 cars for the 30th,not bad seeing as there was a car from nelson,one from chch,mine from greymouth and the rest from dunedin and invergiggle.. I opted to start all 3 races off the back as it was only my 2nd meeting,and the 1st meeting was only 3/4 of a race for me..so still newby.. cromwell is a furkn fast track if ya got the balls to stand on the gas.. i finished the first race being lapped by everyone.... 2nd race i stood on it,ony got lapped by 3 cars,then the temps got up, and heading into the pit gate the radiator hose split wide open and dumped the entire contents on me,i smelt like coolant and ass for days.. fixed the hose for the 3rd race,and i didnt even get lapped.. fukn stoked with the progress..went over the line with the lead car about 30m behind me left the car there and returned on the 1st jan for the war of the wings meeting.. this time i went in the marble draw..1st race i was on pole.. greens on,hammer down,1st corner and taking hits like tyson,and the damn clutch pin breaks out again,thats me for that race,did 2 turns,sat that one out. 2nd race was off the back being reverse grid in 2nd race. 6 laps in i started giving it death,going hard then got teams raced into the wall by 2 twins from dunedin,i basically did a victory lap on the wall,slammed back down and they took off,i did another lap and the car felt weird as hell,then going down the back straight i see a spring lying on the track,it looked like mine.... then 2 slam,took to the wall again... managed to drag its arse over the line to finish the race,but it bottomed out on the track so got carted away.. 3rd race was a no show due to damage... the damage list is: missing left rear spring and top hat busted left rear shock bent left front rim 2 flat front tyres right front rim bent,squashed,fukt right front shock bent like a banana it was the most fun ever... i have now fixed the shocks,got more rims and tyres.

i ran anything mineral...

how i used to do mine,is turn the pulley so the keyway for the pulley on the shaft points up,drop dizzy in so the rotor points to no.1 plug(im sure it was),and try that.. worked for me all the time..
