  1. I did my centers gunmetal from gold and regreted it as it made the polished lip look shiter, I think maybe the gunmetal I used was a bit dark as the wheels got lost from a distance in shit light/Wellington. How do you feel about cream? Gaz
  2. ^^ its a pretty small cutout though isnt it, my Chevette is anyways? My system also runs from passengers. Going to crossover on 45° basically at gbox tailshaft (was thinking to try fit a bullet type resonatoor in on the angle). Crossover should be complete before handbrak cables. Then running back over the diff and out as normal. Where is your fuel line crossing over? Mines going over at the gbox xmember. Will confirm prices I wrote down tomorrow as can only remember off top of head. 5m of 2"x1.6mm = $60 2" mandral donut = $55 Flanges = $10 All +GST Gaz
  3. If yoou could get a flexi resonator? then thats two problems solved in one and would save you some coin as you could run it just by passenger footwell and eliminate both ya first red and your two blues from pic. Turbo cars usually have a quieter system but can get tractor sounding. If your Gem is like my Chevette then the cutout for the rear muff is right at the back and kinda short but wide? I think Im gonna cut mine out a bit longer so ya cant see muff as easy from rear as you say. Im looking at building chevette system atm also but have just decided to pay instead as it was only going to be $150 more to have someone build it for me. I priced up a 2" system from Steel & Tube trade price if you wanna know pricing, I assume youll be running larger than 2" though. Is your exhaust start on drivers or passengers? Gaz
  4. Nah alloy. Buy some of that rust paint and make the centres match the rest of your paintjob. Gaz
  5. What stud pattern, I may have some 15x9s if needed. I like the paintjob, looks mean. Gaz
  6. Hi, I like your twuck, it needs more slam though. Gaz
  7. Ummmm, dont think I do on here, there is one floating around in the back pages at GM-T tho (http://nzgem.proboards.com/index.cgi?bo ... 451&page=1) Just started working on it again last week as house is pushed on alot. Tuesdays are garage night now haha. One of them pages has the Gemini next to the Chevetee diff for comparison from before I swapped them over. Gaz
  8. Oh what a score, so got two full engines! Release bearing I went nuts at wreaker for a few hours and an old Bedford one is perfect if you wanted to go that way. Saying that I havnt run min yet. Gaz
  9. Doesn'y look as heavy as the VN one I have on the back of my x20xev. What gbox ya going to use Friendly? Try to find Manta or Commy? Gaz
  10. I guess when buying anywhere ask if they are identical to factory. Gaz
  11. This man speaks the truth... I got mine from there and they wouldnt stay on even with Ados as they have no clips... shit really. Gaz
  12. Those standard rims from the pic above would look mean widened Gaz
  13. Not impossable just slow welding and hard, did it on my first mk1. That guard looks beartable and bogable. If you do put a new gaurd on make it bolt on... Gaz
  14. It never ceases to amaze me. Also im pretty shure the chair guy is Phill And Andy, trademe for lights, your car is pretty generic. Gaz
  15. If its just the nose then you may find that you can just swap that part so the spline matches up to tailshaft. That way all you need is the correct splined nose to go on the uni and hopefully will be able to find something at pickapart that has the correct width to match the uni. Maybe an option? Gaz
  16. 1 day turn around may be pushing it but Ill hit him up Tuesday and see. Does it need shortening more or lengthening? What about Manu, can he do this kinda shit then you just need to get it balanced? Gaz
  17. gbox xmember looks mint, is the gbox to gbox mount standard? For driveshaft you prob want to find someone who can make + balance in the same shop.. Howat Engineering where I got the one your currently using done had to send it away to get it balenced and thats what took a bit of extra time. I am using Aztec Engineering a bit for work, I can see if they do this kind of stuff if you like? Gaz
  18. I think it may have been Aiden, not sure who went first tbh Gaz
  19. His mums nasty 5 speed, it was pretty flogged out but now its smashed to bits.
  20. Any paint store should be able to make the paint up going from the code. Normal painters (house/commercial) will get 30% discount on any paint from Resene. Gaz
