sheepers

ha ha ha ha ha ha, dude i spat my tea all over the place. thats funny. does this mean that your performance has gone up too?

i bought it in 2005. i was still overseas when i bought it (id seen the car prviously) but i got stuck into it when i got back at the begining of 06. blue car has cost me allot of time and this hasnt been easy, but its geting there............. it will be on the road and legal before the year is out. sheepers.

this night time is the right time for eatin burgers.

still no concrete answer on the wheel/tyre size thing, but it meant that i had to move the subframe forward by about 20mm. this had fucked me around somewhat but im now back to making bits so, after what seems like ages but has in fact been 3 months i have made some actual parts for this car. ive made the rear chassis mounting point for the subframe. and ive welded it to the car. in some of the photos taken from bellow the car you can see lots of parts of the roof of my shed, this is because there are still many large holes in the car. but slowly, slowly im filling them in with stuff. this is the last major structural part (apart from the strutt towers) that was left to make. there are lots of little hole in the rails to fill but these are easy to do. soon, very soon im going to sit it back on its wheels. then its only a matter of making the GTR brakes fit on the front, building a driveshaft and i can drive it. i can believe i just said that, "drive it". it hasn't moved under its own power for about 16 years........ sheepers.

im in!!

what-ever. you'll be there at your usual 10 mins after it finishes......

given the details to tarry (with the dark blue RA28) and he's got allot on but hes going to make it latter in the day. ill check with Mike (both of them) and try to get them along too. will be sweet to have another one. lots of cool shit turned up at the Jan one.

600:1 for a 12A. i have a factory manual around here for a NSU.......

i am. could get a couple of celica's there too.

you can do it!!!!!!!!!!! fuck i hope it all comes together for you. if you make it to taupo in this i for one will be buying you a beer. you will be my hero etc.

went to a freinds wedding on the weekend. i had the Honor of driving the groom to his doom. total round trip of 320K's. averaged 7.5L per 100 for the trip which i think is pretty fucking good. it was such a good trip. both trips, down and back up, were a little bit cloudy so it wasn't to hot, the roads were pretty empty and we just cruised, all 4 windows down rollin like dice. sweet. I'm racing at Taupo this Friday. ill leave on Thursday night and drive down straight from work, race Friday then drive back on Saturday. ive ordered some T3 camber tops and if I'm lucky they will arrive in time to put them in. i reckon with a bit more camber on the outside wheel i could get round the track a bit quicker. i hope to find out........... sheepers.

i think its safe to say that the rule was written so any cop can look at a tyre, and if its not bulging out from the rim then they get to write a ticket. its pretty simple, make it easy for the single celled law enforcement idiots to generate more revenue. but you have to admit, putting a 185 40 on a 12" wide rim looks suss as. there are plenty of examples of why its safe (like the drift fraternity who regularly go sideways over ripple strips/ditches/walls etc with stretched tyres) but the law needs to write tickets so they can make yet more money. when was the last time you heard a story on the news about police fighting for more funding to employ more bobbies? good thing im not fucked off about this/spent the best part of a year making something that is now having to be severely compromised due to an idiotic law change..........

don't think i hadn't considered it.............. been doing some measuring, no conclusion as yet but its not looking good.

ill have to have a think about what i want to do then ill find out about the new wheel width and tyre regs. if you want to know you could find out from the LTSA your self, or ask a bloke down the pub?

i did talk to the cert guy. thats where the info came from, a place i like to visit when i want to know the truth. tyre manufacturers can say what they want. the law in New Zealand has just changed, 255 is min width for a 10" rim in this country. no one is aware of this new law and the cert people are trying to put together a case to get the law relaxed slightly but they aren't hopeful. its guys running 204 45 15's on a 10" rim that have caused this law change in the first place. good work guys.

FUCK SHIT PISS CUNT FUCK ARSE!!! i am 99% through setting up my rear subframe for the last time, ive been using a 9 1/2" rim with a 245 40 17 tyre to set it up. i was planing on using a 17 x 10 with a 245 40 17 on the back, it all looks good. it real tight and there is fuck all room, like 2mm at its closest point on each side as it goes up and down. no problem, except they have just changed the rules and now the minimum tyre width you can run on a 10" rim is 255. everything is fucked. i think ill have to cert it with 9" rims then change it after the cert. whos got some 8 and 9 x 17 rims they want to lend me???? (5 x 114, 15 - 38 offset will do) fuck.

first place i would check is make sure your getting 12V to the B+ pin in the diagnostic plug. that will tell you if the main EFI relay has power and from that the igniters and injectors should be powered. on my one i pulled all the auto wires out of the loom, didn't need to connect anything or "trick" the computer into thinking it was in park. after that your in a bit of a spot because who knows how the shop wired the computer and auto...........

got a mates stag do this weeekend. then his wedding next weekend. then nats the weekend after. then away round the east cape for a week. could do the 13th of march???

jah, i work with a company just down said road, usual traffic at that point requires some celeryation but yesterday was all sweetness and light......... also, why did you slow that footage down? makes my car look slow as.

the motorway is not a play pen, especially when there is an undercover cop 3 cars behind. also, you body kit is coming off just behind the left rear wheel. flapping around like a dunny door in the wind.

will be out of service this weekend. nights next week ill be in the shed mostly.

do you even have a dizzy? cant see video.

you locked the mechanical advance in your dizzy?

you had better come round and have a good hard look at how much room i dont have for zorst and steering before you weld those new inner guards of yours in.... i reckon its going to be tighter than a nuns nasty, worse than mine, and i have to take the engine out to change a steering shaft.

is it a 50? the last plates i got for a scooter they gave me on the spot, but that was a 50. not sure about non moped.
