do whatever is cheaper and requires the least downtime.

this is retarded for so many reasons

so anyway

fuck i can't stand it when guys deliberately mess a car up in an attempt to be cool. Fake patina or whatever it was that you were aiming for is real lame. Anyways, cool car! will look good on widened steels i reckon. Paint them something 80's like fluro pink/orange. I have no idea what im talking about. Just my opinions. They may be dumb.

Shit what a sweet ride. Shame its in aus!

Your car will feel faster anyway just because of the extra noise. Cool.

Tried some 13" modgies on today... didn't fit over the calipers so im rolling with missmatched wheels at the moment. This lead me to a discovery though- a set of dirty old Hoshino Impul pro-spokes in 14"...these are going to be mine soon and will be sent to the engineers for widening. I'm told these wheels are quite rare which is cool.

is there anyplace dog friendly to visit?

Thats a better idea.

skimming the mating surfaces is by far the best idea yet. I say give it a go!

nothing wrong with a gen1/2 3sgte at all! throw a ct20b on there and you have a real weapon. Plus with lower compression you can run a bit more boost than gen3. You only have to look at Alsw20 on TS (my old flatmate).. I watched him run a 12.6 with full weight gen1 SW20 that only had ct20b, downpipe, boost controller and panel filter done. Thats 4.6 seconds 0-100 in a 1250kg car with relatively minor bolt on's.

Phone Fraser kit cars and ask them whats required to get this motor on the track in a RWD.

i did mate! Thank you sooooooooo much!!!! Please PM me with your bank details etc. I found the bumper bolts. I was surprised that they were actually called coach bolts. Some of them will be replaced with bullet bolts from trademe

ooooh yeaaaaaah, no rubber bumper buffers. So where can i get some chrome dome coach bolt type M6 screws for my bumper to fill in the holes?

you can buy dome head cap screws? Why not use a nylock to retain?

eventually i'll grab an evo motor and manual box, but for now while its my daily there will just be basic bolt on's to make it more driveable. It seems quite easy and very inexpensive to make these motors a bit more fun.

Just grab some cap head M8 bolts and have someone polish with emery paper in a lathe if required. cut a course thread for grease at the same time.

webber vs stock solex carb Webber is a 34ADM off an XF/XA 4.1 ford. If anyone has one laying around that i can buy please let me know

yeah thats what guys who have done the swap are saying. I'll link back to the pages tonight when im home. Obviously it sounds impossible but would be nice if true. The current carb is supposed to be an absolute dog compared to the ford (cortina weber or 4.1 xe/xf weber) carbs. Its a common swap- adaptor plates are available all over the place. the 4g54 seems so strangled up top i'm guessing 30hp could be possible!

in the process of buying a weber for it. I should gain 30hp from the swap and better fuel economy when cruising. I know its a shitty oldschool motor but its actually lots of fun knowing i can do all this shit to it for nix.

Is a spring classed as captive if it is loose but has a strut up the middle so it cant fall out
