  1. It's exactly what the above is, the Intercity 125. Fastest diesel train in the world @ ~145mph (125mph design speed - hence the IC 125 designation) Myself I'm all about the Deltic's.... geoooogh *foam* (and the Pendolino's are pretty sweet too *schwing*)
  2. Pretty much. But I thought maybe it might be in the higher single or low double digit numbers of deaths. LOL/not LOL
  3. Ditto, ^ Also Murder Train - I've got a feeling I know what you mean but more explanation please?
  4. 100% agreed but I didn't set the parameters. However if some have some early 80's car then chuck it in the mix - I'll send her all the pics and she can make the call. Fuck it I might even recommend my Falcon.
  5. Sweet, can you post up a pic of your car in this thread and if you will need for the car to be picked up and where from.
  6. Want your car to be famous on the big screen? I've been asked if we can provide half a dozen cars for a movie being filmed next Wednesday 3rd May in Petone for a movie called Blind Panic https://www.facebook.com/blindpanicthemovie/ The cars will only be stationary props and there are no other cars being driven on the day so there is little risk of them being hit by other cars. What they need is late 80's - early 90's cars (movie is set in 1992) preferably stock as possible or with somewhat period correct modifications. Even something like your daily '91 Subaru Legacy will be fine. (or similar Honda, Toyota etc etc) Preferably NOT red though because it messes with the camera??? Your car will be needed from 7.30am till 12.00pm in Petone but you do not need to be with the car if you don't want to stick around. They can even pick up and drop off your car from you if you are busy at work on the day. They are offering $20-$50 worth of petrol vouchers if your car is not just coming from around the corner. (low budget movie etc...) There is a potential if they identify bad weather that they will be filming on Tuesday instead but that will be decided by Monday If you are interested can you post up a pic of your car in this thread and if you will need for the car to be picked up and where from. I'll send through the pictures to the director tomorrow and hopefully she'll get back to me pretty pronto with what she wants. Cheers
  7. First compare them from centre of that hole to the centre of the mounting point on the other end of the arm (whether it be a ball joint or through bolt) If they are the same then I wouldn't worry. It could be based on a machining template and there is still plenty of meat on the "offset" one. Second if they are different I would check how they look compared to stock one. You might find that one is purposefully shorter for more turn-in on the predominant outside wheel (normally the LHS on RH drive cars) If so then it will be to counter the inevitable camber you find on most roads (road camber is mostly there because of surface drainage and they haven't scraped back enough of the road surface the last 12 times it has been resealed)
  8. New rotors won't be that expensive. Price them up from BnT
  9. Jealous of your bench seat score - where did you get it and do all the XA-XF ute/sedan/wagon benches fit between any model? Also have you sussed some Tridents yet?
  10. a JZ in it and limmy bashing on a 2-step before the end of the weekend
  11. I think he was meaning do you still have the 4 stud Cragars?
  12. Or option A http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/1422040402/10002/-1 $500 US plus some freight (or get them to put into @chris r's van that is coming from USA to NZ fairly soon) I know it says golf cart wheel but Cragar list those wheels as 965lb load rating - so unless a Corvair is heavier than 3900lbs with a driver, 3 hookers, a boot load of liquor and a full tank of gas then you're golden. http://www.cragarwheel.com/wheels/wheelsdetails/cragar-series-410c-ss-golf-wheel
  13. I think you are allowed bolt on to 20mm wide. I could be wrong though.
  14. Rad - also get adapters to go to a more conventional 5 stud pattern for American style wheels.
  15. Or this if you are feeling rich... http://www.jimmeyerracing.com/products/60-72_chevy_truck_direct_replacment_chassis.shtml
  16. Fuck this is swish. Jealous. Also raising interest in buying your 327 and manual box if you are flicking it. Also http://www.artmorrison.com/2006cat/48.pdf
  17. Bad battery and/or earth. Try jump starting it with the negative clip straight to the engine block.
  18. I expect it was an accident. Also that's the fucked thing now - the airport has introduced SO MUCH traffic to go through that fucking stupid one lane each way tunnel. It's actually worse for citybound traffic between 5pm and 7pm than it is for citybound traffic at am rush-hour when all the residents of the eastern suburbs are going to work.
  19. I saw something on the HUHANZ facebook page this morning about a dog friendly place in Stokes Valley.
  20. I'm not going to make it tonight either sorry - but I have a valid reason. I'm finishing blah blah writey mcscribbly shit for Nats so Niki can vet it tomorrow before I then print it out over the weekend.
  21. Good bloody job man. I hope you have room on that section for a 6 car garage.
  22. That chin spoiler is sweet. If it was me I would break up the red, perhaps a couple of stripes or something. At the moment it looks like a chicks petticoat hanging beneath the hem of her skirt, like it's in the right place and meant to be there but should be a little more discreet. But look at me, I own 2 Australian cars - I pretty much have the worst taste in the world.
  23. It says Windsor in the thread title
