Overfuelling boe.........

I looked at getting one built for my stockcar, cas similar sizing to Triumph 2000 rad but like 5 core thick cost was $690

I cant talk. Some of the shells I have used have been mint, straight off the road, Fuck feel stink now. #spam#

Ring rapeco and enquire about belt. While doing so their book should state if its an "interference" engine. If not, should be all goodly. if so bent valve city.

Musyt be full of "ethnic brothers" kinda like Vodiefone live chat stz.....

LT1 is corvette/camaro 350, normally a 4 bolt mains jobbie with the sort after angle plug heads. Myself I would slot either X88 302 chev (pretty rare but fuck they scream) or 327 just for pure revability.
RTS suspension mod not worth the effort, besides your going to uprate anything that is RTS related when changing springs and shocks.
Best upgrade for HX is installation of nolathane or similar polyurethane bushes. Made a massive difference to my HZ 308 ute..
Think I got a broken HZ monaro bottom lip somewhere....

Yeah spose your right FunkmasterTed. I think its dependant on the club that you run for I suppose. Times have changed considerably since i last run in production saloon, But club I ran for bent the rules to suit a certain few. I built a RX4 Mazda and was building a V8 Sl/e Commodore in secret for the season. Once started winning in the 4 they banned it, saying that rotaries were out, so I sold it. I checked about legitamacy of V8 prior to build with confirmation of legal. Took it down first meeting, eclipsed the field, then they banned it and allowed rotaries back in. Bah thats just Northland fuckers for you.

YOU LUCKY BASTARD. That is all.

Yup Point taken, but most spaceframes have eff all direct airflow due to chassis crossbracing, bonnet edge which HAS TO extend over in front of radiator and shocks are normally in the airflow path.. When the old man bunged a 308 on a 180b years back he had a custom rad made. Thing never ever got hot but rad cost megabux

Bung on leccy fuel pump ftw.....

Boe. Your speedway car..... I used to race XC 3.3 in "production saloon" (lame grade) 200 x-flow 3 on the tree. My mum raced it too. Could whip V6 Capri. Won the Northland champs in it. Anyhoo a tip. If you run counter clockwise heres a fucking great setup....Take the lowering blocks out as well as 2 leaves. Lower it 3" left front 4" left rear and 3" right rear. Gas axe sag stz(DONT CHOP THE COILS AT ALL)......Leave right front stock height. Lengthen Rh lower arm by 60mm. Crank right hand radius arm right forward left hand toward rear.
If you set it up like this ,Yup it will look fucking stupid, but can GUARANTEE it will handle.

Previous racecar had 3l Essex in it. Revved like fuck. Caution is required in the oil pump drive as it is a hex drive from bottom distributor gear. Have tendency to round off. Also have a tendency for soft valve springs. Makes em easy as to valve bounce......Parts are available but a wait time may ensue. Good engine otherwise

Bout time for meat eh??????

MY race car had Triumph radiator, cooled the old 253 and my 4.0l Falc motor. Admittedly after 8 laps of 7000 rpms it was a little hot but did the job well. Spam but most of early Kuriger spaceframe stockcar chassis fitment of Triumph radiator was the norm, and theyve cooled Rover/Ford/Holden V8s for years in stockies.

From experience:
ATF (for p/s, auto if applicable)
1l Engine oil
Fanbelts relevant to car. (put new ones on and biff old ones in boot)
300mm 5/16th fuel line and 6 hose clamps
8-19mm metrics or 1/4-7/8imperial (whichever applicable)
A jack with the FUCKING HANDLE!!!!
Wheel brace.
Stubby phillips/straight screwdriver
normal of above
Vicegrips (for impromptu non shoe wearing b-owts
)Insulation/duct tape (for imprompt rapings
)Most of this will fit in smallish tackle box for storage save the jack,handle, or cross stz wheelbrace.
This is my RACE KIT scaled down to suit roadcar.I would imagine that it would cover 95% roadside scenarios.
Proper Race kit includeds 566523832 spare wheels, FBS (fucking big sledgehammer) and a pair of stilsons.

TRUE!!!!! Thats just fucked production saloon and streetstock grades, been against EFI being allowed since day one. Another thing that is fucked with speedway saloons is the 20yr age limit.......but speedway is now very ghey in my eyes, OS fo' life now.
-
As an ex standard stock driver Ive been around speedway all my life. Basically if you want to run this car its gonna have to be run at a black track. Its no good for production saloon as it is over 3.0l and EFI, same rules apply to street stocks. Possible solution if allowable under your club rules is to bolt an EA 3.9 manifold (bolts up no mods at all), an XF weber is a bloody good carb on one of these donks, put an XD 4.1 electronic dissy in it by taking bottom gear off original dissy and pinning it onto the XD one and bobs your auntie carby non computerised 4.0l, as thats how they run them in standard stocks any hoo. Edit just been to find the link for rulebook but my old link is now 404.

I had issues with the alarm in my old subie concerning this, and they never ever got the problem right. Just n00b sparky i reckon.

I rolled an ER185 .. OH THE SHAME!
Haha my first bike was a GN250, dropped a valve at about 120kms, welded up piston, gave it a low compression squish chamber head job (read dremeled the fuckn dents out of the head) couply second hand valves and bobs a fafafeni rebuilt.

First impressions are normally correct.
just random spelling mistakes make it sound dodgy to me. Nuthin wrong with the product though. bro had one of these setups in stockcar.....
