  1. Ya don't want the spacer there coz then thats hitting the top of the shock tube, not the washer thats suposed to hit it. It probably wouldn't work at all with the spacer at the top.
  2. Thats coz the OS definition of a decent drop removes at least 3 inches from the ride height Just use more spacers haha
  3. Yeah, um, anyone know where one is and who's the cheapest/best? Coz I have 2 fucked radiators and can't really be bothered opening a phonebook.
  4. Some basic info. I don't know the exact history of this car. I got it off some kids for $450. They got it as a project/fix-up car which they gave up on. The car has; Brand new radiator, new vinyl roof, new recovered stitched dashboard, looks to have a reconditioned engine, new tires, feels like new shock absorbers / suspension is mint. I'm guessing someone was doing it up and then got t-boned, so they sold it. These guys bought it to do it up and gave up, so I got it. On a bad note, my brother ran over a traffic island at speed, the engine jumped from its mounts and planted the belt-drive fan into the mint as radiator. Seems the mounts were already fucked, but now the fan and radiator is too.
  5. This here be my new old car. Crunched side Mint dashboard So the plans at the moment is to cut out the fucked bits of the sills and B pillar and weld in the spares from my parts car, chuck on a door and get it a warrant / reg. I need some boes with cut/paste skills to help out with the panel work, coz I don't really wanna fuck it up. Drinks of choice will of course be supplied, and perhaps a BBQ. Future plans: cut n polish and fix up the paint Lower it down on some better rims Upgrade the brakes Chuck in a 4age on a t50 box Eventually put in the 7age. Future future plans which may or may not ever happen: Supe the fuck out of said 7age with some nitrous / turboe / both Strip out interior and fit rollcage and buckets Fully adjustable suspension etc... So yeah, it may one day become a full racecar, but for now I'm aiming to get a 4age in it by trackday. [Edit] Not happening no more, this car is gonna be a resto project, gonna keep it nice and original. [/edit]
  6. Whats this bushing here called? Because as you can see... ...it is completely... ...fucked. And I need a new one.
  7. Haha yeah that was Sams doing. Was originally a tad lower at the back on the cutties, but it has semi-legal stuff in the back now. I'm more focused on interior and mechanical at the moment although lack of funds mean progress is slow. Once thats done and I have something else to use as a daily I'll sus out paintwork and rechroming the trims.
  8. Bench seats make good beds. So whens all the hamboes cruisin down?
  9. Yeh 7Ms one's the one. Ah ok, sounds like a bit of work then. I wanna keep it auto coz I've got nowhere to stick a gearstick. Sorta defeats the purpose of having bench seats if ya got a stick pokin up through the floor/seat

  11. Also known as A340E Does anyone know anything about these? The only info I've been able to find so far is the gear ratios. I figure they must be able to take a bit of power as they were bolted up to the 1UZs and 2JZs, but any idea what their shifting is like, what power they can take and how the electric control works? I think its just electrically engaged overdrive, but dunno for sure. I have one sitting around which I'm thinking about sticking in the crown, but I wanna know a bit more about it 1st. Ratios; A340E: 2.804 1.531 1.000 0.705 Dunno what reverse is though. Cheers
  12. / once you save up for the next 6 months. Autosol is your friend
  13. Yeh was lookin forward to hittin the piss with a big fire and whatnot. Got nothing to do now
  14. Was looking that those latest pics and thinking "damn your car needs a wash!" then relised the dirt was actually on my computer screen. Needs a mad cut/polish though, match the newness of the rims
  15. Theres plastic in a bonfire? Just burn wood/houses.
  16. Easy to hook up if ya have a manifold heater hose. Dunno if it makes a difference which way ya hook it up though, my carbs still sitting on the desk beside me.
  17. Shoulda read this earlier, woulda been keen.
  18. Primary school english wasn't that great for ya was it Markie
  19. Was actually just gonna post askin if any one was keen for a horopitu mission in a coupla weeks time. Not too keen on this weekend though as I'm workin overtime. No sleep makes no fun for roadtrips. Just strap shit to ur roof boe. Got a pile of tiedowns ya can use.
