If being different is the exercise, I vote silver!

I think a 2J gita would be a better choice if you want to be towing. They aren't too bad on gas either.

Red roof will look average because it wont match the faded original paint at least blacks blatantly different. Paint or ban!

Finally, a man who talks some sense!

Where's the air coming from?

If you think the wheels might be porous, give the inside a good coat of enamel spray paint. Should seal most of it up.

That was like some sort of freaky novel Bart... All I can say is fuck that shit.

Don't do it again please.

shame.

Would be quite handy to have the Corona on a spinner while setting up bags, lines, compressor etc. Simon, just go talk to Jase or Matt and draw a CAD or something.

Would need to be strong as the car will be mostly complete minus seats, carpet, motor, box and diff.

... That would definitely get me thinking... Budget is going to be pretty stretched after this exercise though!

Also black lower sill would be half the battle. Possibly black pillars too, but that may be OTT.

Seems weird that the first gear ratio is so low and the fifth gear is so high... If you go to a 3.54 it might take those revs down to 1800 or less and stop you from pulling up hills in 5th.

Any idea what ratio it is at the moment?

I'd roll it.

You should be able to do it online but is easy to do at the post shop or AA.

A class is great for getting your car back on the road + sorting out certs & other legalities. I wouldn't risk it too much if the car is your daily driver though. Other bonus is that it automatically goes on hold for 2 years (might want to check that first) when it runs out - so no back rego to pay.

Hmmm

Why so sirius?

V6 will be cool one day, but it will be good to see the eterna out and about again.

Road and track sprints = basic club level sprints that you are aiming for. Winter series = national level full noise club racing.

The pads fell out of the 101 because the 3mm spacer he put behind his disc has been removed at some point and the disc wasn't centred. He doesn't remember removing it so could have been cert man? Unlikely though.

Spence - I'll have whatever base map we can get from link, but might talk to Simon/surfab about borrowing the tune from his 200hp drifter.

Nah man, that's road & track sprints, not winter series.

Try Manawatu Auto Glass too. Sometimes the small outfits have more flexibility for GC's.

I've heard some issues with a circlip falling off when you push high horsepower through them. Roman knows more than I do.

Should be back out for round 2 in July...

Staying NA at all costs - those turbo's are silly things . I've got an Altezza beams sitting in the shed with 6 speed box etc so we're starting to strip that down for rebuilding. Going to keep it fairly stock with a tad more compression, link G3 (with G4 firmware) and VVTi working to make spence happy.

Oil starvation isn't a problem (touch wood) with the engines I've used. Manfeild tends to be the worst on FWD style engines and Subaru's. The altezza sump might get a couple of baffle plates for good measure though.

OK so we're getting the whole "cutters" part of absolute and will pay by bank deposit before we get there.

Since we're getting a mixture of 3 and 4 person rooms we'll be paying $40 per night each to average it out and make everyone the same.

I'll make a post soon with payment info.

They're good wheels KY. Ideal for sifting gold.

Looking good! The non-panda paint gives it a sleeper element and it almost looks like a tidy nana-spec 85.

I can't make it now. Got a couple of cars to rebuild...
