Found a pic of your other one...

Red one will be much more fun when finished.

Ahh dam I thought they were super excusive! Is it real tight around his crutch region so that he has to split his package to fit them?

It is now! Pity he grew, they were the coolest BOS overalls... dads had them in the shed since forever so probably are pretty exclusive now.

So now that he doesn't fit them you are the only one with a pedobear suit...

Heh, the wheels don't look too bad in person... Gonna have to do some testing with them on forwards and backwards though. Bring some back with you tomorrow and I'll give you access to the jug and a gumboot to remove the centres... They're tricky to get out.

The offset shouldn't be too bad on the +10's but we should flip the +25's for the rear... Will be good.

Love the brown gears... My little bro has sweet overalls too:

Thats a better way of looking at it... Having different shocks / springs for road / track would work fine. Would work out pretty costly if you had 2 sets of good shocks, but would be able to have 1 set of long stroke average KYB's for street and a set of good short stroke shocks for the slam setup.

Yeh, just do it gaz . Figure out basic length of possible shocks and go from there, you might need to make spacers for the shorter shocks but thats normal.

Rice Vermecelli wang installation?

Agree with Brock-lee here Gaz, having that much adjustment has the potential to be bad for your handling as well.

If your shock is at full extension for the max height then slamming it by 50mm will mean the shock will droop a minimum of 50mm (plus extra droop for springs). If you're running a short stroke shock there won't be too much downwards travel available and when slammed the shock wont be working right cause it's already mid stroke.

Talk to the Bilstein Motorsport / autolign / Stech in Auckland. They all have experience doing adjustable setups for escorts and know the maths behind what valving will probably suit your application, how much droop you need, what spring rates to use, how much "working stroke" there will be etc etc. Bilsteins are really good shocks - I'd recommend them - but they don't have adjustable valves. Better than an adj valve Koni and around the same price for a pair depending on what you choose.

6x4 trailer? That'll look awesome on the back of a BX .

Heh, the manifold is quite cool. I like how the length of the collector would give a straight flow into the turbo. Nice work man.

I'd hope that this remit won't pass, or the price of getting into club level motorsport will become too much for a lot of people. The draw is that you can start off with a shitter of a car, do autocross and Motokhana and later move onto sprints etc without too much hassle. At the moment you can but a $150 helmet and $50 overalls and go hard, and use that stuff until / if you decide to get more serious.

My Snell apprived helmet was $500 and is one of the cheaper options for an SA2005 approved hat. If starters had to do that then their gear will be worth twice what their car is in some cases .

I don't see it as a logical thing for MSNZ to pass, and hope the majority of clubs vote against the remit.

I don't see the issue with not having british written separately... Sure it's in the European area but a british car isn't a European car. They deserve the distinction IMO, and a lot of the people that might be keen to have a look would be probably have british cars.

"From American to Japanese, European to British" would be sweet as.

MSNZ Schedule A

hold of on these helmets guys Motorsport New Zealand the governing body of All new zealand motor racing is re writing rules and there is a remit saying that all helmets have to meet a new snell helmet which means thay have to have As200 or something on it which means made for rollcage impact

Pretty sure these are E standard helmets:

European Standard (R22);

‘E’ Mark, 02, 03, 04 or 05 series.

- EC 2205 Safety Standard

That's an E mark and '05 series isn't it? Australian standard is different.

like David Attenborough wrote it

Was just picturing that... It would be awesome. Someone kidnap him for the first oldschool.co.nz TV ad or wildlife documentary.

I think it's pretty good sparkly, formality isn't a bad thing but it might make the average age seem higher than it is. Need something to inspire the 18-30 age bracket as they'll be the most likely to be active and not get offended by all the cunts.

I've always used Full faced helmets for track stuff, and it makes the helmet useful if you want to ride a motorbike as well.

It's a pity about this eh, would never have had a clue about all the sealant and dodgey bits from his build threads... Seemed to do everything well when reading about it and the pics looked good.

In the end though, it was cheap and fixing issues should have been expected man... Sure theres a lot of rough stuff there but no point cursing the previous owner etc... what has been done has been done. I've been going through a lot of the same sort've shit with the race car and it makes you feel like calling the old owner up to tell them their dickhead work is poo-house... but whats the point. Issue is found, you can sort it and move on from there. Thats what developing a car is like...

Although spending $1200 to for a list of problems must be a bad feeling... but at least they're found now. Again same issues here - on a student "budget" - and every extra cost takes you closer bankruptcy.

Mumford link please:

http://www.susprog.com/susptype.htm - heaps of different setups.

But yeah, staying leaf with radius rod/s is a good idea.

fuck there's some knobs. I only roll with cunts

Yeah I think L31 is the go, especially since I have the LD28 crank, L24 9mm rods and brand new OEM KA24E pistons.

Just gotta find some of those carb thingees.

Cool combo man. Throw 6 Blacktop 4age ITB's and an ECU at it .

Pics for colour inspiration:

... Please develop that system... I'll have a set .

same here, but it seems pretty rare...

Most uni car people aren't stupid dicks either.

Saw this this morning. Could be an idea

So basically, the police want the community to solve the problems themselves? Lazy .

Ohhhh, ok, thanks for clearing that up. How much do those liteace diff heads go for?

Wreckers charge $250 for the front diff. Can sometimes get a whole van for less money. I bought one from a wrecker and a whole van locally for a spare.

You just have to look for the right trans codes to find the ratio's.

^^ Thats Alister eh? He's a GC, we drove a paddock car on his motorcross track....
