sweet, was just meaning the boot in general might be air tight. tho i doubt the boot in the esky would be haha. just incase tho

was thinking about puttin the battery in the boot in my esky too, couple of things you gota consider tho, by running a cable that far the current looses power and also batterys need to breath, if its in the boot you need to make sure its ventalated coz otherwise they can explode

fuckin sucks about your car bro, dont put the motor in the cortina! get that esky goin again.

the one you sold me is comin along nicely tho.

if your over 100 points you will lose your licence for 3 months and then the points will go back to 0. you wont lose your licence until you get a letter in the mail informing you when you have to appear in court, you then hand in your licence and get it back in 3 months. you can get a work permit which will alow you to drive at your job but will cost you about a grand.

get a 2 litre coke bottle, half fill it with water, then hold the neck of the coke bottle so its submerged in the water just under your radiator cap, leave it there for a while and all the shit floats out into the bottle. might work better if you quickly start and stop the car. dunno just what im told works. east coast styles.

yea fair enough, if someone gets jacked you should be able to warn people about it on a public forum

haha sweet. be better of puttin in a manual!

might wana have a read of this bro

Burtons do not recommend installing a performance camshaft in a vehicle fitted with an automatic gearbox

although thats a good idea i think it'd be best to get a line printed with just one car, whether its the one already in the logo (rx4?) or a differnt one and get that established and out there before we start making other ones, its a big ask for jerm to design all the differnt logos when there may only be one or 2 people wanting one. then on top of that paying to set up for the differnt designs to be screen printed would make it pretty unfeasable. i rekon we get some of the same shirts printed and some windscreen banners printed and get the word out there before we get to ahead of ourselves.

cheers

haha i rekon. those cars/space ships make me cringe

i rekon we should keep the origonal

its good to have things like that constant then people being to recognise the logo as a whole kinda thing

you better not make them in that gay old english writing!

i was under the impression your not meant to change the cams in autos? im sure i read that in the burton catalogue

was lookin at $300 for the motor and gearbox together. i think my cousins pretty keen on it but if he doesnt want it i'll let you know. if i sell seperate you can have the motor for $300 and you can take the gearbox for nothin if you come and get. ill let you guys know and try get some pics. im comin back to welly next friday but ill be on the bus so dont think ill be able to drop it off haha.

ps. motors standard but with extractors

how far away from gisborne are you? ill sell you a 1600 with a cortina gearbox

i wouldnt say pre-80's. my ke70 was an 84 and i'd definatly say it was old skool. i think its one of those things you just know

oh yep that sounds good. do the newer hilux's have discs on the back? i was hoping to go for 4 wheel discs. and whats the story with the B2000 diffs? i was hoping to get somethin a little cheaper

hey methodz have you got any info of the process of using a newer hilux diff? was it very hard to do, did you have to get it shortened? cheers

i dunno, i thought they were the same kinda thing. it was pretty hard to hear the guy so maybe he said zakspeed forrest flares

that place is actually in gisborne, so i can just go pick them up gettin some flares made today. he said they do front air dams too for $220 or $290 for the race ones.

just phoned that fibreglass place

$193+freight+GST for 4 flared guards to suit MK2 escort, said they stick out 85ml. they do zakspeed and forrest flares too but i didnt get a price for them.

deal

that guy on trademe wants $720 not $250 RT

might go ring the place in hawkes bay

haha yea i rekon, even lookin on ebay.co.uk . dam theres some nice bits. thanks RT but its a little over priced. there was some guy in giz that was sellin them for about $50 a guard i think, a guy had them on his car and they looked all good. ill try and track that down and let you know

im lookin for a diff for my esky. ideally i'd like somethin thats LSD and already has disk brakes on it, but realistically this probably wont happen. what Diffs are people runnin in their escorts.

thoughts.

anyone know of anywhere in NZ that sells fibreglass flares for escorts. I know theres places that will do it. anyone here got some for a reasonable price from anywhere?

cheers

Matt
