so finally got all the bits i needed to put this bad boy together with the dcoe 45 while i had the inlet manifold off i put my oil filter sandwich plate on and replaced the plastic oil pressure gauge line with a copper one as the plastic one wasn't far from breaking test fitted the new manifold only needed a small buzz with a flapper wheel for the base to clear the engine mount bracket whilst I had the manifold off i confirmed the head had infact been ported picked up my dcoe 45 that I got from Blizzo that his workmate brought to wellington for me but repco dicked me on my gasket (long story ordered the right one and a nissan sump gasket showed up for me to collect ) so I had to wait till today to actually put it on. I also fitted a new rad top hose as my one had split and I got a few fittings to connect up the water lines as the sizes were different with the new manifold as you can see its a tight sqeeze not alot of firewall clearance once the filter is on oh also its alive runs ok need to get some linkage setup and a actual throttle wheel that i can adjust the idle on not something i cobbled together to get it running http://vid553.photobucket.com/albums/jj394/jake19904/Mobile%20Uploads/trim.C99496A5-5FF9-4A00-A3C9-86B03983DAFA_zpslqojxnux.mp4

Could they be spray welded and then machined to bring back a sealing surface like they do on machine shafts ect.

if its for motorsport useage has to be 3mm steel id generally go for that as a guideline anyways and id say 25x25 box 3mm wall thickness would be a go

Yesterday was parts day my manifold arrived blizzo has sorted me out a 45mm dcoe that was on his kp so hopefully should have that next week when I get paid. This is the last one lynx had and I can't imagine them making any more for an obscure car now.

shit yes my man so keen

wow a month not too much progress really to speak of got a few jobs done got a new soldering iorn and made up my intercom leads I finally got the adapter I was waiting for a few weeks ago and found i had misread the thread size so a mate drilled and tapped the adapter for me so i pulled the rad out gave everything a flush with the hose cut the hose. put the adapter in and fitted a newer high flow rad fan just bled all the air out and the top hose let go so need to get another one it was a bit manky will do top hose and thermostat as it took forever to get up to temp. I also purchased a oil cooler setup for cheap so i set about mounting the cooler it still gets air where it is as there are holes in front of it and has some stone protection having had lots of issues with these shit carbs and them being not the best for a rally engine (vac secondary hitachits ) there was not much point rebuilding them or spending any money at all on them. so ive purchased a lynx crossover single side draft manifold (the last one they had ) so im after a 45 dcoe or dhla and if i cant find one a 40 will do . As much as id like to go twins i cant find a manifold for one ive only seen 2 manifolds on the net and cant get hold of ether of them but this will likely be a massive improvement anyway so ill put some pics up of that when it lands here from aussie this week some time.

shit how does that even happen wouldn't have thought a camshaft would be that easy to snap in half

there was a guy in oxford tce in basin reserve end of newtown that was really good dunno if hes still there

The one i co drove in with a mildy worked silvertop ( porting and a megasquirt) all stripped out hauled ass we used to hit over 200kph fastest i saw on the trip meter was 220 on a long straight mates fxgt with a standard smallport went really well too

also possibly not just easier to get whatever your fitting this to tapped out to m16 by a engineering outfit or similar?

wr twigg in wellington stock a bunch of brass fittings probably best to ring them and ask vs go off whats on the website

Now that my little fountain 10-10 has made it to you i hope the repair features in this thread

Are you sure it doesnt need some sort of ali etch primer? Ive used some of the white knight stuff and its been ok

Can get sweet dana axle upgrades for jeeps

Clint oh oracle of knowledge im looking at putting some side flaps on my rally car can i drill and put riv nuts in the underside of my sills like 4 or is this a no no my other option is to make them longer and bolt through the floor like what you see on the side of this car

so the brakes had never been fantastic and by that i mean shit so first port of call was to bleed the brakes as the car had been standing for 5 years got a bit of air out and rid of this skanky fluid it actually stops now this morning i did a job id been putting off for a while the main part of the floor and boot floor had a bit of surface rust and it was down to the primer so i took off all the loose stuff and rust killed it then gave it a coat or 2 of truck bed liner came out really well considering the rest of the floor pan is ok and i rust killed any spots i think needed it should hopefully last a while

sweet ill hit my mate up and see if he can get them

yea i am aware of the rule it was just the battery that came with the car and i was sick of it rolling round "road testing" probably going to go with a 22Ah or similar battery that's sealed strange they wouldn't allow an optima they are 10mm bolts in the bottom of the box so its compliant other than the battery thats in it
