Wow, that dropped lots!

Thought about trying the flipped steel on the back yet?

Looks like eke_zetec has some catching up to do!

Do you have your heart set on hotwires? Because there are plenty of sweet options in 4x114.3 in 14x7+ wheels.

haha... They would have opened it on the 10th because when they got back after new year there were near 200 homologation applications in the mail. Almost everyone sent them the week before xmas and they're still working through the backlog.

but then one friend of mine got his back in around a week. His was freshly built with the new sized main hoop.

We having a beer on churrsday?

Good shit! I was worried that they might not accept it due to lack of heat signature on the welds (cause of the painting+brushing). That's one big step closer!

Brad - I've been part of 2-3 new cage installs in the last couple of weeks. We did the front legs, side intrusion and strut bars as an extension on a half cage over a few nights + homologation. PM me if you have any specific Q's.

Nigel, we aren't here to have a legal argument about the manufacture of car parts. You've raised an interesting point that has sparked the interest of quite a few members - we now know what to look for when buying wastegates. Thanks.

How can you claim that it is false advertising without researching what the industry standard is? The argument is fair if a real HKS or Tial has a larger inlet/outlet than the knock-offs, but if the industry standard is to measure the valve size and not the the inlet/outlet, so be it.

If the valve seat was the same size as the valve, it wouldn't seal. Is it false advertising that a 1UZFE valve is bigger than the hole it seats into?

Nick says they made SFA per tyre if they're lucky... Paddy wasn't totally thrilled with that . Hoooge deal.

Wheels don't need to be wider, they're perfect as is. Now build the thing!

Why would you even bother running a factory cast iron type Manifold when there's one of these sitting there? Do it now .

They look to be a 4-1 with long length runners? So should be good for midrange and won't choke it up in the high RPM either, but you'll lose the scavenging effect eventually... But this thing probably doesn't rev over 6 anyway eh? .

Rota moter?

Smallport Redtop is the best version of the 16V, and 16v Low comp pistons are easier to find (the best are 8.9's from 4AGZE).

CXGPWR built an engine recently with 10:1 pistons in a smallport and it has 170kw atw without too much tickling - on a TD04.

Sweet, thought I'd put it out there. It will look a lot better with black behind the bumper + black mesh in the main airdam if it doesn't have that already.

Whens your next skid meet?

Sounds interesting - Post pics?

Hey nick, let me know if you'd prefer to have a factory facelift front bumper... I could do with a spare front clip for the race car.

WOW!

Nice work, I bet this thing will be hard to let go of?

I suggest meth to fix this

Schweet. PM me your address for barrell.

Machine one back in & it will go faster = put it in a lathe and add a taper leading up to the squish zone. You can probably lose another mm off the head while you're at it too .

Cond is OK. Bore is a bit scrumbly but I'm sure you can deal with that.

I really want to do 80cc for the road hog since it's daily. Needs torque & reliability - done more research into JR80?

Make a wooden jig that will hold the manifold at 30' on the table, then run the manifold across the jig and drill each runner? Might still require an end mill or slot drill to get it started.

go first your self

i ordered fist

Looking forward to this.

Still want barrell?

Homologation is $75ish now IIRC.
