Mean. Finally some competition at trackdays. Bout time you started a project thread. Be cool slammed on some jdm alloys

Really want to see this at trackday. And to meet you

indeed. Been too long for wellington boes etc

Anyone keen for a small meet in the melling carpark on thurs nite?

I'd say that the heating is just because of the fans on the radiator. You did say that its fine when the car is moving aye - that implies that the radiator is the correct size. Biff the extra 10" fan on the rad and that should fix it. But also do the oil cooling. Its tuffer if its oil has to be cooled

Its all about the prep though. At least you won't be thinking "man i wish i had spent longer on prep" And that colour is choice as. Gonna be so sweet

Its probably just the amount/size of fans on your radiator causing the overheating at standstill. I take it they are electric? Or do you still have the engine driven one? Might need more/bigger ones. Cos if it runs fine temp when its moving it just means there isnt enough airflow at idle. But an oil cooler would be for good measure ..and yea, if the turbo gets hot WITH water cooling. Just imagine how hot its going to get without!!

Thats some epic trans tunnel reconstruction. Gonna be choicer than choice though. Cool that its not a hilux. As thats the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions a v8 ute.

Thats pretty cool that you did all the panel yourself. Some awesome patch jobs. Inspirational stz. Keep up the good work boe!

Don't know why, but i havnt seen this before. That some epic rust repair that went on. Did you do it yourself? looks pretty choice. And yea, orange ftw

Lookin good bowl. What you doing with the old carbs?

Pretty choice hauler. Gonna be/is bangin'

That things bangin. Looks like alot of fun. So one basically gets a donor vw and puts that body on it to get a choice buggy? What still needs to be done?

i'll biff it in the boot boe

Update! The epic construction of the expansion chambers. Didnt take many photos cos cameral was flat so had to use shitty phone, and i had to do the mean rush to get them done for trackday. Took a few from my phone: Cutting the templates out of sheet metal: The cut out templates and some made up cones. Hammered the cut outs into shape using a bolt locked in the vice and a hammer. Was a cunty job: A finished chamber minus stinger (the small exit pipe): Thats the only photos i took. The hardest part by far was getting them to fit in the engine bay. So much cutting and so much welding! Got mega arc burn on my legs. Most people would have seen/heard the finished product in all its amature glory. Will update this once someone post some pics of them. The best part was they actually worked . Was able to do 90ks in 3rd. and when i did a few laps with standard exhaust i was only able to do 80ks in 3rd. Another problem was that my exhaust gasket was broken so it was leaking at the monifold really badly. (you could block the exhaust tip and it would still run fine) This would mean that they were probably not working very effectivly at all seeing they use exhaust back pressure etc. So most of the usefull powerenhancment stuff would have been escaping. I'll fix that up and we'll see how it goes next trackday

Cool place to start for a project. Will be bangin with a ca in it

^ Ok. I heard that the 6's were rare. And dangerous too much engine for capibilities of car P.S. You certainly know your marinas !

Are any of them 6 cyls? And do you have a coupe? I saw a coupe in pick-a-part a few months back and thought it was something itailian until i saw the leyland symbol on the head

SO cool man. Looks tidy as. That pic of all the marinas is bangin'

Hey Boe Don't know about the chacer but... The clutch fork should pivot on a bolt with a ball on the end. Or something similar. You should be able to screw this in and out and then lock it in place with a nut. This is used to take up slack in the system as the clutch wears. If the chaseres system works like this you just need to undo/do up (depending on which end, front or back, the fork pivots on). This should allow you to move the fork closer/further to/from the clutch. Therefore allowing it to be ingaged/disengaged more. Just a shot. Can yor remember when you had it apart?

Good news. Whats left to do after paint?

Those coupes are maccin dude. Such tuff looking cars

Yea. Thats the one. Went for like 1300 or something. South island ftl. High ks too. So, any plans for this stallion or is this the runabout?

My mate was so close to buying a turbo SOHC one in southisland a few weeks back. Would have ruled

Piazzas rule. Inculding yours. Which ones were LSD? if any
