Here's the deal, went for warrent in my '95 hiace supercustom, knowingly that my wheels foul on full lock on suspension arms, have let me away before with it but not this time (they only just touch at full lock so I just never turn quite to full lock). Anyway, is there something you can adjust so the wheels won't turn quite as far, giving slightly less steering. It's hits by sfa but needs to be addressed. Cheers.

All good, looks like Cul8r (Chris isn't it?) is going to hook me up.

Anyone on here able to get a good price on 2x 235/35/19 tyres? Only want cheapest ones I can find for my work van really. Cheers

South Island Drag Racing Champs - Sunday 24th October
Josh replied to EFI_LC's topic in South Island Region
Yea it was a day of mixed feelings as it started off not so good but finished on a high. I thought you may have been there, what happened mate, it was a good track with good grip. Sweet, that's good, still can't get over that time, must be so pumped on it. Yea I had been getting the car ready all week for it but ran out of funds due to unforseen circumstances which was bit gutted about. Will def be at next one. -

Nice work! Damn that's a cracker of a time. -
Excellent, cheers, shall get part and attack tomorrow night. Do all the hilux diffs have breathers?
-
Found my hilux diff leaking also after dragging the other weekend, have the axle out, is it just that small black seal the only one to replace on the inside of the bearing there? First time I've done this.. Never had an outer o ring seal, so will chuck one of those back in to. Also this breather business, where is that located, top of diff somewhere I assume? I didn't realise there was one till now and can't be to hard to find no doubt anyway.

Can anyone enter this one since it's S.I champs or not? -
Sweet as, cheers for that, yea I think currents are around +20 from memory. I'm not wanting to run them on the front (although I already run 20mm spacers on front), just using them for drag racing. Hopefully 110 will fit onto 108, I suppose it's not to hard to get them slotted slightly to fit though.

Just looking at some wheels on trademe, he doesn't know the offset and I told him how to get it yet he still has failed. He says they were on a ke26 rwd. Does anyone know the offset of a ke26 then? Need to compare to capri offset to know weather to purchase these or not as pretty keen on em.

Yea planning some smaller rims with bigger tires, currently running 205/40/17's... Unsure how to setup lower boost on just the launches before research but for now keen to keep getting the hang of things on the track. I had a blast and stoked on the time. It certainly is alot different talking up a time then getting out there and doing it. -

Basically got 2 runs of 15 flat with loads of wheelspin, so chilled on the lauches and changed techniqued and dropped to a 14.2, then did a best of 13.8 for today. Keen to change rear wheels for next meet for more traction and keep on sorting out lauch techniques as need more practice. -

Just want to confirm speedo input on w55 box. Drivers side near rear of box? On the left of this pic above where x-member bolts on..? Damn it if it is, is super close to the tunnel which will create more probs no doubt..
-
Yo, anyone know places that will make me up a speedo cable in Chch? Cheers
-
True that, might book it Monday then!
-
Ah righto, cheers for clearing that up.
-
Do you need a wof etc?\ Eg, can you take car to track and have it inspected to be safe if it does not have warrent?
-
Definately want shovels probably, the worst of the worst drives in when I was last there just having a look. Was going to come on this but going up to Blenhiem Fri night, but will stop in on the way back in the van on Sunday anyhow and have a look and see what's up.
