I'm glad I'm not your towbar or where it mounts to your Hyundai haha. Has it been registered in nz before?

Nah it wasn't certed. It had heavy duty leaf springs fitted I find it hard to figure out why the company that did the work would have that attitude, surely they would have insurance, and the bad publicity would cost more than fixing the vehicle.

I think if the plate was welded to the inside of the side parts, that would be fine You would need to confirm with the certifier who is going to sign off on it that he (or she, lol) is happy with it, as it's not a recipe in the book

Put the other distributor in, now has vac advance again. Runs a bit better, I'll see if its more ecom on pertol over the holidays I managed to pull the ends off 2x leads swapping them over which is a pain in the bum, a couple looked a bit manky in the ends so ive ordered a new set off my favorite supplier of parts. Who, it appears, sort out the GST issue at purchase so no problems there.

Definitely dont get any blasting on the shaft and try and keep it away from the seal also Have seen a few get ruined by underbody sandblasters

The way I read it, if Chevron is the manufacturer and that is the style of belts it had fitted originally, it meets note 18 (a) on the page @AllTorque linked So if you can get something from them proving thats what they had for belts originally, it should be sweet I assume it has no cert plate?

I drove a van with a 1uz in it once that had had toothed pulleys/extreme gilliez put on all of the accessories Goodness me it was noisy. RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE It must have cost a fortune to make it all work.

Hi David . I like that red. However I have noticed a technical issue that I'm not sure you have noticed Your supercharger pulley ribs go the wrong way! Also I cant see where your carburettors are going to go or where your mr garlits 3 hole fake scoop is. Regards, Clinton

So good to see it out getting used. Do those transmissions have a kick down cable or is it all electronic?

I've been tempted by a couple of cars recentlyish, but would mean selling my VG, and the main thing that puts me off is dealing with idiots and I just cant be fucked with them Good luck, hopefully the sort of car it is minimises the amount of chumps you have to deal with I'll keep an ear out for anyone after one

Would need to go through design approval process http://www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-4-build-approval-process/

Have you tried advertising anywhere other than here? It seems to me that would be a steal at that price, 2 door, and a good year

2x sets of wheels cert requires road testing on both sets so you would need 2 full sets Thread sticky outness looks ok to me. The 2 threads rule is meant for nuts, not necessarily threaded holes in things

Ha Left it till the last minute before drag day, finally got around to getting some 50 thou shorter pushrods 5 years later. Put them in tonight but a bit late for road testing and waking up all the neighbors, but it did start, and didn't rattle Also rock auto to the rescue again, got a distributor with a vac advance so in another 5 years I might get around to putting it in

I always leave the auto adjust thing out of valiant brakes too Also I'd be wary of changing shoe linings away from what size you have, you might find someone has gone to a narrower shoe to prevent the rear brakes locking up

@sentra might have it?

@Archetype made a friend who likes pats and @datlow doing a pub carpark carb rebuild

Heck yes that was great fun. I had a million percent better time this year with a bike that wasn't a complete turd Big thanks to J5 and the support vehicle drivers for making it all happen And stoked with this thing for hauling me and my junk all over some pretty rough roads with zero issues even with a decent helping of dust and mud everywhere. I lost count of how many oh shiiiit moments I had on gravel including coming within a couple of inches of driving off the side of a cliff while looking at the scenery but managed to avoid any incidents

I thought @Thousand Dollar Supercar idea of going to see that ford vs Ferrari movie was a good one

Depends on the car, some are on the buckle end, some are in the retractor, but either way still has to function

Is it for a civic? Might be easier to swap whole disc rear hubs in?

Also need to make sure theres enough material at the stepped part. Have seen some where there is very little actually attaching the 2 parts together

Closest I came to falling off was trying to keep up with Bort on a downhill section I thought 'if I keep this up I'm gonna die ' so gave up Just after that was the gn vs dio incident
