  1. so your painting it matt black then?
  2. go all out I reckon, you'll regret it later when you want to make more power - and you will btw the maximum nz post will do is 25kg and it cost $47, thats for 2-3 day inter-island. A gearbox weigh's about 24kg without bellhousing.
  3. damn those side skirts are ugly, otherwise pretty cool car
  4. 997 pre-crossflow nah but they're definately nice looking cars, going to chuck a 4age in it or something a bit more out of the ordinary?
  5. sounds like hes going to get done by the police and their powers over exhausts

    back seats

    yeah a guy i know had his car wof'd with no back seats, the wof man told him that it was needed for car rigidity or some shiz but when he told him that the whole seats were only held on by 2 screws in the first place he let him go
  7. but if it came in the car originally?? anywho arent we talking about gearboxes
  8. it has nothing to do with wheels zise or anything, its to do with the thickness of the wheel where the studs go through
  9. if it bolts straight in then it doesnt require a cert
  10. you need longer studs, i just replaced all of mine, front you need to take the whole hub off because the longer ones hit the disks, try ringing davies holden in auckland, they import all of that stuff and thats where I got mine from, tooks ages to find ones the fitted though

    Rear suspension

    yeah i got mine reset, made 25% harder and added another for anti tramp and lowered 45mm
  12. some of this should go into the workshop section or something, good stuff to know
  13. oh, proven wrong then, pretty weird way of measuring though, is there any reason why its done that way rather than the way i thought it was?
  14. 50 is in relation to the height of the tyre in mm, so a 55 is 5mm higher than a 50
  15. are you sure you didnt join all the wires together? nah but if all the plastic around the wires has been fried then something must be wrong with them, all the wires in my car are still in reasonable condition
  16. meh who cares about 56ker's i wanna see big pics lol
  17. Build Thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/19236-mkcortinas-69-mk1-escort-panel-van/?p=498323 hey, nice car you got there, i wouldnt mind inheriting one of them haha. doesnt look too bad in matt black either howcome you needed such a big clutch? surely the engine would put out that much power btw your uploading the wrong images, if you copy one of the other images you can view the large picture
  18. sounds good, just to let you know, you could get the lip cut instead of rolled if it would make any difference
  19. That looks cool as man The exhuast looks good as, is it legal though? it must get pretty hot The wheels are looking pretty nice too, the dish looks good when you cant see the centres haha but it should look alot better once you've chromed them etc. Are 55's the lowest profile they could fit on there, it looks quite high although its hard to say from pictures. Also, are you going to drive the car with the dished wheels before you put the flares with just rolled gaurds?
  20. yeah square headlights were originally thought to be the best headlights, thats why they came out on the better models, something like 72 they realised it was the other way around so thats why rs's and mexico's have roundies and twincams have squares
  21. yeah chuck one of the wheels on and take a pic just to see how far out of the standard gaurd they go
  22. nah they dont, I might put some silicone or something around the edge if its bad for the calipers
