Adrenaline r are good, I have a single 3.5" at the back on my car When I was doing noise testing they were a muffler that actually worked, rotaries usually needed a couple of them though.

The other thing with China is they make a thing, ie coilovers , and over time it will have multiple different brand names attached to it but it's the same shit in a different colour

A good rule of thumb is if the manufacturer won't even put their name on the product= bad

Dunno about other certifiers, but I wouldn't cert them

It's quite interesting how much hp it takes to drive a supercharger- there's a lot of load on the front of the crank

Sometimes you can get a tiny bit out of it if there's no adjustment, by loosening all the bolts in the rear suspension and put a ratchet strap around the bottom of the wheels , tighten it a bit and do all the bolts up again

That sheet is in degrees and minutes- that means 2°30' is your max not 2.50° So only one side is over on the rear I'd just raise it a whisker and avoid having to buy arms

yep hes under way 0273468708

i think he got the green light, but then got sick or something not sure if hes into it yet, just messaged him

There is a new guy- Jody Thompson He's a good sort

Bulkhead fitting ? https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/hansen-tank-fitting-male/p/159364?store=26&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA2pyuBhBKEiwApLaIO3ylA2TZp5aZN_0GjGP7HZyi9tBLyo3FJdkqQQZsAr4Lq32JKvCY0hoCFzMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Unfortunately that would really cock over the geometry, cause bump steer and less than ideal camber curve

I dunno why but tyres in the US seem to suffer from perishing /dry rot worse than other places? Maybe in non rainy areas they keep the cars outside more

O S Nats are on in March, there's a cruise to a museum in Cambridge that's worth checking out

whatever you do, make sure the bags can be inflated, with the wheels at full droop, without the sensor going to max travel i think ive had 3 different cars break the arms off the first time they go on the hoist... nice work on the truck!

If you're looking at that pic as a bit of a how-to, the shocks are too far inboard as well, and won't be doing much

Something like this You need 2 spacers per side so that the bolts aren't getting bent You will need to limit travel in the up direction to stop the joint binding the other way, this will likely mean you won't have to cut of the top arm for bag clearance, as it probably won't go that far

And on that age of truck, you can remove the front inner guards. Been there done that though and it's a cunt of an idea, mud, water, dirt and rocks get everywhere

Can do pie cut if it's tig welded, NDT, and has a fish plate over the cut Other options - find a ball joint that is flat/not angled the wrong way for your application Or a pair of tapered spacers to angle the balljoint. Have had a couple of people do this to correct balljoint angle

Is a complete new long block available from suzuki? You would think a small 3 cyl engine from a current? model would be cost effective to buy but probably not

I had a escort with a modified 1600 a long time ago, that had a 2" pipe and a couple of resonator type mufflers, it was quite raspy I then put that motor in a mark 2 cortina and 2.5" exhaust with a single triple pass muffler before the diff, it was a deeper sound but from memory it sounded quite good

This one had a legit (from memory) label but the top loop was less than 3mm thick , so I'm picking in an accident it would probably cut the belt

They could be acceptable if nzta recognizes CCC as an acceptable standard for seat belts There are many belts made in China which have standard markings on them which are acceptable HOWEVER china is notorious for just putting a label with a safety standard on whatever the fuck they feel like. Sometimes the standard is not even relevant to the part, ie they will put an 'e' number relating to lights on a seat belt. There's a note in the virm about one particular brand which has the label but the top loop will fail in an accident , they are not allowed. But if its like anything else made in China, bur Chuang Zhang seat belt is no longer allowed so they just change the name to super lucky golden horse seat belt safety co and away they go again I wouldn't trust them Can you take a pic of the top loop?

Technically, requires cert due to capacity increase, regardless of power increase
