  1. Looks super cool dave, hows the project going nowadays? Id like to do something like this myself wondering what a ball park figure would be
  2. OMG OMG OMG i love your builds they always give me viva motorvation
  3. problem was actually that my carb had the fuel supply running through a fuel return port. On a 32/36 webber (dg-dga-dgav..ect) the top two horizontal pipes are fuel return the ones under and at a 45 degree angle pointing down are fuel supply, most carbs only have one supply fitting drilled. A common misconception is that the two return opposite eack other are fuel in and fuel out, despite the arrows cast into the carb pointing outwards.
  4. I found some old shocks and thought i'd post some pics of how to lower them, not sure on the legalities but seems safe So yeah just cut off the cover then grind down the protruding parts and run down the shaft with a die, once done chuck on a rubber stop and thread down a nylock nut this will lower the vehicle and shorten the stroke of the shock by however much you want. A note of caution if you thread down too much and the threaded portion of the shaft goes past the oil seal you'll let all the oil out and fuck the seal so don't do that and once you have threaded the shaft don't compress the shock until you have a nut on it.
  5. Great project, i ended up getting some hotwires machined to suit the 4x 4' pattern cost like $400 by the end of it. Nice project can't wait to see the 4age'd viva. I know that the 1256 axels can take around 100hp and a decent beating without any trouble. I have 8' wide wheels with 185's which i think is technically illegal stretch according to the chart i saw even though it doesn't look stretched at all. In hindsight i would switch to 14's.
  6. So I've come to the part where i need to run in my fresh motor but i don't have a wof and thus can't get rego. So i decided to just do a burnout to load her up alittle, unfortunately my cluth did not want to do a burn out and blew its release bearing to pieces. Thus the viva curse continues.
  7. I'll do some practical testing and get back to you.
  8. yeah dcoes and dellortos are getting to that stage where people want them for their 60's alfas and shit so mega bucks, i think bike carbs will increase your awesome by at least 15
  9. My viva has no front bumper, grill or head lamp surronds and has a big oil cooler on the front. From what i read in section 2-1 of LVVTA LVV Cert Threshold because it was first registered well before 1999 it does not need to comply with frontal impact occupant protection standard and so i do not need a cert for having these things removed. Correct?
  10. yeah or a big meaty craft knife. I did one with piano wire but it was too hard next time i used a craft knife to cut the layer that over laps the glass on the outside and just poped the window out the front
  11. The heads are specific aren't they? fwd 4afe's have dizzy sticking out the back towards g box, i could be wrong. I agree red top. For a revvy engine 4ages are good. I prefer T series or R series engines. I think a really minimalist 4 age would go quite hard. But they are getting hard to find, old, tired and for some reason expensive.
  12. I think it looks sweet. I wouldn't touch it with all that rust. I look forward to seeing what you can do with it
  13. Sorry i missed those posts i know its been 3 years, there was like an earthquake and i became a mechanic but now i have time to 4um again. All the magnum parts where scooped up by an L90c Volvo loader in January of 2010 while they removed the liquefaction that had buried the car. They were the much bucket seats too. I still have an 1800 diff, hb 1200 diff, HB 1200 front section (drums), hb drive shaft + fuel tank some 4x4' steels and a rear windscreen. some hb dash's and rear lights. Everything has been out side since 2009 and i'm not sure what condition its in.
  14. Grills and bumpers are hard and i don't really want to try hard so i'm just going to put an oil cooler in the front to distract attention from the fan and exposed area around the lights So where do you guys think i should run my lines and mount my cooler that looks good? I know that with such a massive cooler my oil will probably never reach temp and blah blah blah... Because race car, ok.
