EURON8

another Certifier i was speaking to recently was saying that another reason the pre welded ones are no good is the junk reproduction spindle they have is junk. Plus it's welded wrong anyway.

Done. Wednesday. Let's do this.

Woah paint!!

Maybe I'll bring beers/ciders one night and we can stand around saying "mate" and "yeah nah" and other blokey things

Boilers are bestest. Yes, even more so than trapps

Man after my own heart

And they, and the rx2 coupe, would have been much cooler if they had been rx2 sedans

This car before it was drag spec'd was lush

Pic request:

Whose got some old pics lying around of classic 00s NZ rotary a with those filthy boiler rear mufflers hanging off the back?

Got talking to some mates about them but couldn't find any decent pics. I think they're great so want to bombard them with pictures of awesomeness

Silly Question, Id put a twin/triple/quad Rotor in anything

Oh yes

Harlequin and solex locks.

I hope it has a white or tan interior and Titans

I like this thread dredge. Reminds of my good deeds.

As for this merc.

If your other option for this car is to use for parts then your best bet would be to start stripping parts and expose all the rust you can find. If you do end up repairing it, anyone who is going to do you a deal isn't going to want to have to remove shit to get at the rust (me personally anyway)

At least then you have a better idea of the extent and anybody keen can see the majority.

62s

Stock up on titans for when retro period correct 00s builds become a thing.

Drove a 20b bridgey turbs FD today*

(*Backed it out of workshop, turned it round, drive onto trailer, gave it a rev up cause it sounds so good.)

It's going to visit the dyno tomorrow, needs a good run up after sitting now that we have it running on all rotors/injectors/coils.

Hopefully that will blow out the cobwebs and we can spend the owners coin on making it better rather than having to pull the motor down.

Boom!!! am so down for this!! 

Avondale is so handy as well

What was the pricing like?

Bespoke auto glass is a name I've been told a few times in relation to windscreens and old cars

Thats odd, the guy selling the jaws is who i bought my complete setup off and at the time there was a another option from another brand also.

anyone know of any cheap places to buy a shrinker stretcher for panel beating??

I feel I may require one.

I just bought a pair of Eastwood ones off trademe. pretty good so far. gave them a hammering on some 1.2mm and they worked sweet. I might upgrade the screws that hold the jaws in as they are a little small and let it slip a touch but all in all im happy with them. 

Tonight we used fire and heartier-than-last-night hammer hits and smashed clutch plates off input shafts, successful if i do say so myself

Almost there.

Some traffic due to "incident" after Ellerslie

Saw an EX lancer on the way

Keen for special burger

It has a chicken

In it and

sauce

Yum

Oh yeah so we have a 20b Bridgeport FD at work currently.

Fixing a few issues from sitting while the owner has been away. Today we found there is no fuel filter... Anywhere, not even on the end of the pump

Running a bit shit but has that sweet sweet 20b tone when it does rev up

We have a number of OS members over there that should be able to help you out if needed.

So $6-8k for a rebuild?

$2500 for Link & loom?

FMIC & Pipework $600

Adjusties anywhere from $1300-2k

Cert $700

Misc of say $1000

Sound right?

Injectors

Fuel system

Providing the rebuild doesn't need housings or rotors

Clutch to suit bigger power

Driveshaft hoops for cert

Exhaust

Manifold

Lots of things that add up real quick

Nah clearance for the carb and dizzy have been cut into the engine covers and boxed in.

Yes it does.

At 6'4 they are very hard to get into

I don't know much about it, just came into work and I made the shifter actually work properly and then drove it down the road testing it.

I don't fit in it but it was rowdy and when the carb actually supplied fuel properly it did haul

Rotary escudo?

Please note the location of shifter in the top right and the engine covers seen across the top of image.

Then marvel at the 12a powered tiny van thing that I can't fit in.

I'm just going to leave this here for Johnny to ponder

This is me and Wifeys wedding anniversary so it's gonna be a hella romantic burger date
