ive messaged him. ill see if he gets back to me.

today was make a fucking stupid mistake day. the hubcaps are your standard cheap chinese rubbish "chrome" that will inevitably go rusty in a few months. i got a price to re-chrome them and it was a bit beyond the budget at 500$. each. so Richie suggested i clear coat them to try and make them last a bit longer and that sounded like a great idea to me. here is where things start to go wrong. for some reason i thought that i couldn't possibly spray clear straight on to the "chrome" because it wouldn't stick long term and i also got the idea in my head someho

made this go back on. 2021-02-27_04-51-12 by sheepers, on Flickr 2021-02-27_04-51-22 by sheepers, on Flickr also made the front bumper go back on but i didnt take a picture of that because im useless at remembering to take photos.

YAY!! ive found a rear windscreen! not so yay, its in Dunedin. so im going to have to figure out some way of getting it up here, preferably without breaking it. if you can help please let me know.

after fucking AGES of pissing about making various spacers and brackets and all sorts of other shit i have finally got the drivers door mirror sitting where i want it. yay. 2021-02-24_07-19-57 by sheepers, on Flickr 2021-02-24_07-19-49 by sheepers, on Flickr 2021-02-24_07-19-39 by sheepers, on Flickr

yea, no shit. its been since i put the supercharger motor in. but, i also replaced the driveshaft center bearing and fucked up putting the driveshaft back together so its been wrong since new motor. now that's fixed its really not any better. a camera like yours under the car may reveal something. what do you use? the magnetic mount must be pretty full on?

see that's the thing. its a two piece. in exactly the same place its been for 10 years, same gearbox crossmember, same engine mount height. same everything. even the same driveshaft. and its never had a problem before. fucking weird. i will however look at angles and see what i can see.

good point. i reckon its driveshaft speed. so that needs some thinking about...........

Drive line vibration. I'm trying to find out where my vibration is coming from. Driveshaft is just back from balancing so it aint that. Question, the output flanges on my diff (R200 GTR) move all over the show and I've seen other people have similar movement with no issues. But I don't like it. Anyone have experience with this and also, how best to fix it?

its uncanny, that guy in the video looks just like you.

Oh yea fuck I forgot to post this. It's an American sales brochure which clearly shows how even toyota knew how much better the car was without guard mirrors.
