  1. Did you get that seal in? May have missed tat in your post. They can be a total BITCH if things are not 100% right. Scrape the edge of the hole so that its not a sharp edge to ruin the seal as it goes in. Grease the crap out of the seal. Use a plate to push the seal in. If its REALLY tight then use two plates that are like a big washer with a hole in the middle and a length of threaded rod through the diff to pull the seal in (one plate on each side of the diff). Sometimes its easier to pull it in slowly rather than punching it in. Also that seal might be OK if you use some loctite gasket sealer or similar on the OD. May ave missed the relevant update- if so.. soz.
  2. Thats going to be a good looking bike!!!!
  3. I love the wheels you have. Probably best if you strip that car to absolutely bare and get it dipped.... Better you than me! And please make your signature pic smaller. It bugs the crap outa me. Its like nearly 3" tall on my screen.. and its not a big screen.
  4. I'm a huge fan of your work man, the repairs look great so far!!
  5. yes but this motor is red
  6. I reckon ply with a veneer of something nice looking.
  7. iv seen PVC tube pumped up to over 100psi. this will be fine. to complicate thingsthough.. I just did some googling. pressure in an lpg tank is only approx 165psi ( depends on ambient temp and gas mix)
  8. maybe have an in-line oiler?
  9. if u have a mate with a lathe and another with a welder... build up the missing bits with weld and machine smooth
  10. that is not a fair statement at all!!! I mean, for all you know this guy could be a shelf stacker, deli worker OR a cabbage cutter!
  11. probably not the best place to get automotive advice.
  12. I vote that it doesn't matter one noticeable jot.
  13. google it. lots of DIY articles showing how it's done.
  14. Mmm seems a lot more involved then i want it to be. I was thinking of partial assistance from the pump by making it run one speed the whole time. it can't be that bad- its supposed to be very commonly done on hot rods with exposed motors etc.
  15. what happened to lingling? I actually felt bad when I realized he wasn't posting

  17. sw20 mr2 / trademe
  18. get someone to machine up an adaptor to fit between the turbo and the manifold. make adaptor wedge shaped so that the turbo rotates slightly anti clockwise. thus swings the turbo closer to the engine. so, fat side of the wedge adaptor will be on the left in the pic. then bore a hole in the fat side of the wedge and drill/tap holes to bolt two bolt waste gate directly to adaptor so it's nice and compact. I wonder if that makes sense
  19. vs? got a pic?
  20. yeah can't wait to ditch the wheels. those in the photo there would be ideal! if anyone finds any for a nice price let me know! as far as varying the color- maybe a very light bright silver would be nice- without the purple tint. holy shit, love the bench seat idea. that would need a cert though? wonder if it would if I just took the middle belts out for a wof. who knows what modems had the bench? edit: in the car now. didn't click before- the falcons with bench must have been column shift?
  21. hey dude. because its going to be a doors shut quick respray- metallic then clear. it's costing me $400 and he does amazing work so I'm happy!! the factory color will look great all shiny and nice- its a slightly purple silver. I like.
  22. goes a whole lot better with the new exhaust! a few trans mods and get the new diff installed and il be very happy! sussed a respray in factory color- cant wait. it's about time I made use of my spray painting cousin
  23. two blowoff valves!!! INSANE!
  24. hahahahahha
  25. I think the wagons have a different rear end- leaf springs I think?
