    Like that collector,looks bloody good Did you buy the bends from somewhere for the merge part of the collector? what angle are they?

    Hey what size is the turbo drain hose. 5/8 and how long? I might have an off cut of the proper stuff at work you can have

    That sucks about your dog man. Really sorry to hear. Looks like the car is progressing well. If you need a crew member for the ashburton street sprint let me know! Haha
  4. nick_m
    Yeah plus one on a stainless flexi. Will save you the head ache later

    Glad you're stoked buddy. I love this car. Was awesome to get to do a proper all out cage with all the gussets and fun stuff
  7. nick_m
    Oh OK na heaps of room for that. Cool man. Glad you like it. Its a fucking cool car you've done an awesome job on it

    Yeah he did. I've got your email at work. You can see harness bar here. Its between rear stays about 30mm up the stay from the strut tower. So you should be room to be able to get a firewall either side of the strut tower I wasn't 100% clear wgich side of strut you wanted to do the firewall so left enough room for either. That all good?

    Oh also do you want those bits of sound deadening removed? I can have a go when I drop the cage. Doubt you'll stand a chance once it's fully welded

    Making a start on your cage. Pretty happy with how its coming along. Got it fitting pretty good. That's a piece of card slipped between roof skin and roof diagonal

    Its probably a good thing there wasnt a camera in the suzuki carry for our road trip

    I have decided Sheepers that if you and John (skdmrx) had a north vs south car build off, it would be the most amazing thing ever.

    Looks sharp! We put them electric WPs on heaps of cars at work. We use the Davies craig ones through NZperformance Just have a google heaps of stuff on them, Im going to roll one on the race car. Once you shortened your DS did you just bash it onto the splines or did you glue it too? How would a carbon DS be balanced, glue little balancing weights??

    In regards to thermostat issue. have you thought about an electric water pump setup. They are $495 for the 115LPM pump and controller. Means you can fuck of the thermostat completely as the controller adjusts pump speed vs coolant temp. Then you could just make up the piping you need in the diameter you need/want. I reckon they are the best thing ever, especially if running a massive alloy radiator

    f20c are left testicle expensive but agree would be a choice motor if money would stretch that far

    I got my sparky mate round and part of my garage is wired in 2.5mm and the light circuit is smaller, so will replace the circuit board and run a seperate 20amp circuit for my welder. Its only an extra few hundred dollars for piece of mind and no plug trimming/voiding warranty Will report back about the welder Chris, its probably going to be better than the fucked old chinese one I use at work!
  19. nick_m
    ok thanks NVMPAJ thats likely what ill do. Getting a sparky mate to come round and confirm my wiring is 2.5mm and nothing dodgey is happening then ill get a dedicated power point for it. Piece of mind and all that
  20. nick_m
    yeah 100% its a 20A plug, its on the plug itself. I would like to get a dedicated powerpoint for it, but as you can imagine this is the worst time of year to try get anyone around to do that. Was hoping to get it up and running over the holidays as I had a job I wanted to do with it. Will contact a couple of sparky mates and see if I can get them to sort it out. Otherwise I might just trim it for now till I can get a dedicated supply sorted..... The highest I ever had my little DC TIG was 120amps and the thickness of Ali im welding I doubt ill get higher than 90-amps so likely be alright BUT... Still keen to hear what other people reckon though

    Bought a Mitech 200p AC tig and it has a 20amp plug on the end. I am hoping to get someone smarter than me to come check out the garage wiring, I have 20amp circuit breakers but im not convinced something dodgey isnt going on. But assuming the garage wiring is up to it, can I swap the 20amp plug for A 15amp one or do I need to get a 20 amp power point wired into the garage to run the TIG off of?
  22. nick_m
    Hey dude what are the rotors you are using on the back?, might do the same brake setup on the back of mine
  23. nick_m
    I did the course with matt, definitely recommend it too. If for nothing else other than from the minute you walk in the door you start welding, all the material is precut for you so you actually get through a lot of welding in three hours, and you have the tutor there to give you pointers/tell you what your doing wrong.
  24. nick_m
    yeah matt, its getting close to the end of the year. Must be nearly ready to roll it down for cert?

    wish I was racing, looks like so much fun. I should have bought a running race car instead of building one!!
