  1. that all sounds reasonable. i don't see any reason why the link shouldn't be able to do all those things. and more....
  2. is this going ahead tonight? and is it in ellerslie???????? i still have the slicks on the celica, i could baby it to dom road but i cant get it to ellerslie, its fucking undrivable in the wet with those tyres on it. sheepers.
  3. got new radiator fan. red the instructions and discovered that the old fan had the fan blades on the wrong way round. amazing what happens when you read the instructions. ive made new mounts for the fan and reassembled the front. radiator and intercooler are in, headlights are on and everything lines up fairly well. need new fan belt and glycol and were back in business. oh, and i need to get my backup bumper to fit, its rusty as and bent to fuck but not as bad as the one spencer modified for me plan is to drive to work on monday. plans have been known to change.....
  4. and i am captain beautiful. this has been proven at least twice, maybe even three times.
  5. na, everything is superficial, all the bits that bent are like brackets, headlight buckets and such. the bonnet and guard are bent but they can be easily fixed (if Peter is to be believed) the only thing that is causing some concern is the intercooler. it took a pretty hard hit. i know this because of the dents in the chassis that the intercooler made in its travels. visual inspection tells me that its in good shape, i lost no boost that i was aware of when i raced after the crash. i will have it pressure tested but i can tell you this, the quality of a genuine skyline GTR intercooler is extraordinary. it was twisted and bent, quite substantially, and i put it to rights. i can tell you its still good, tests will follow but if i had a cheap chinese copy i would be throwing it in the bin now. while ive got the front apart im taking this opportunity to tidy up a few things, i wish i had a proper AC welder........ anywho, will see you at the next track day. sheepers.
  6. as long as you keep posting, then never a truer word has been spoken. you talk in circles, your "facts" are actually "opinions" or at best, ideas. you clearly demonstrate almost every time you open your mouth that you don't know what your talking about and everybody here (with possibly the exception of Fuel) is ignoring you. ive said it before and ill say it again, post in a constructive, positive manor or fuck off. sheepers.
  7. as your all aware this happened at the last track day. after the incident my and KK checked the car over and decided all as well, a little bent on the outside but the important bits were ok, so i went back out and raced for the rest of the day. the car was fine (except for the radiator fan falling off) i did a 1.25.1 before the crash and i did the same time latter in the day. the car felt fine so im sure nothing fundamental was bent. skip forward a few months and im now back from holiday and getting stuck into fixing the damage. ive pretty much fixed all the little bits that were bent, my great friend Peter is going to fix the gard and the bonnet but the rest is done and ready to go back together. if i really needed to i could drive it to work on monday so all in all, not to bad. ill hold off re-spraying the gard/bonnet for the meantime. i want to concentrate my time (and more importantly my money) on getting my RA28 going. its been waaaaaaaaaayyy to long since that car has moved under its own power. my only regret is nothing. i built this car to race, and race i shall!! sheepers.
  8. might stop in for a beer on my way home, have to see what time i can get out the door from work. ill text up some address loving.

    any old shit will work OK as long as the surfaces are clean. isopropyl alcohol is the way to go. clean it really well and you wont have another problem, wipe it with a rag and leave a nice layer of oil on the flange face and it will leak every time. sheepers.
  10. dude you wanna be a bit careful about posting your late night habits like that
  11. oh snap. dont worry, it wont be long untill you "cant say no" to another cortina, then its only a short ride to 4 cars rusting on the lawn. we've all been there, its just a matter of time.. good work though, keep fixing and learning, soon you'll be able to tell Gaz how to re-build pintos (because they need re-building every 50 miles or so ). sheepers.
  12. it had a white roof before and it looked so sweet. kinda a bit bummed i didnt buy this car when i could have... keep posting updates dude, keen to see this progress. ive been doing a few things to the 51, not much though. crashing my celica every 18 months or so kind of takes up all my time. sheepers.
  13. you can get it creted if you really want to, big money for a speaker though....
  14. where abouts are they based? there is a crowd out in east tamaki but i know some others that might be able to help. drop me a line.
  15. ill be there, k33n for a burger. not so keen to pay for it.
  16. also, i collect those steering wheels so you should give that one to me. apart from that your car is super sweet, ever since i was a little bitty baby i always wanted a 3T. mainly because they have sparkplugs all over the place. and leads. i dont know why. car is sweet. sheepers.
  17. this thread is fast becoming nothing but fail. i appreciate your less confrontational manor Steve. there are plenty or reasons why LPG is of no use and there are plenty of ways to make it work. but this has nothing to do with this thread, so in the interests of stopping arguments, and opinions being used in place of facts, i am locking this thread. sheepers.
  18. "motor will last nearly forever" on LPG? i dont fucking think so. unless you run oil feeders into your carb/fuel injection to lube the valve stems and guides. seen so many old LPG convos with valve stems and guides completely fucked due to lack of the lube that petrol would normally provide. LPG=fail. sheepers
  19. wolf mufflers have all that stuff. they are on the corner of dominion road and something else. right up the top at the town end, across the road from what used to be D72 and next to silver bell.
  20. the mirror is in the letterbox. YOWZER can sort out picking it up from spencers place. let me know when you get it and its all good. sheepers.
  21. im rolling through ham latter today. ill drop off that mirror for yowzer. can i leave it at our place spence?? i dont know where anybody else is in the hamSSSS region. ill just stick it in the mail box or some shit. sheepers.
  22. i reckon if you do it right and use good HT bolts it will be safe, but i cant tell you if it will be legal. best to talk with an engamaneer about the legal bit. sheepers.
  23. fuck yea! im so keen to roll my 2J N/A in the 51 with side draughts but keep the injection/computer etc. i want it to look like a 4M but not suck the shit out of dead seagull's bums like a 4M. something like this, lay the tech shit on me my brown sista!! i can handle the truth!!! i see the light!!
  24. def meet on the Wendy's side, the carpark is way more biggerer. see you then, 21/04/09 at 7pm right? sheepers
