  1. Found online - The talent and creativity of people when it comes to kitsets is astounding.
  2. I think he meant a little Rotrex... No taking up valuable real estate for turbo manifolds.
  3. https://www.ricksmodelkits.co.nz/ Unsure of Escorts, but he does get some 3d printed RX models through, along with big Aussie Fords and all the things to finish them off to whatever level of detail you like.
  4. No, purely hoarding them - Despite all advice to do something with them. Same goes for all of her bulldozers/hovercraft/heavy engineering equipment from the 30s to the 70s.
  5. It's a slippery slope... A friend of mine has a shed with 30 or 40 pianos in varying states of repair.
  6. Not with today's price tag. This is more in keeping with the spirit of the late 90s - early 2000s critters flogging their Maketu drill-port 13Bs in the Bay Trader for $500... Except with more science and MS-Paint diagrams. Cheap(ish) and cheerful, and when it goes pop! Back to the wreckers/Pick A Part.
  7. Seen this in my travels online - 1/72 Revell kit, cut in half.
  8. Solo do a conversion kit for their knapsack sprayers to undertake pyro activities. Unsure of the cost, but not as cool as rolling your own.
  9. You won't get it rich enough to see 130 without shitting the bed first, so 100 it is.
  10. 100LL is 100 octane... That's all folks.
  11. Oh, correction here - Front axle weight empty is 822kg, but still biased toward the driver's side. 422kg for the rear. 1.9TDI - VW's finest. Not the lightest, but stupidly reliable and tuneable.
  12. Certainly not apples with apples, but when you look at the lengths some of the teams in the Aussie sport series of the 70s went to... Chargers and the like, with the firewall cut away and the right-hand bank's rocker cover nestled somewhere left and below the driver's elbow. The wife's Fabia was a horrific thing by the numbers - A small hatch with close to 680kg over the driver's side front wheel - That's more than any V8 Falcon.
  13. You'll be fine. A home-brew turbo + Megasquirt on a 136 1300 didn't stress the small stock rad on a 120L, so a stock NA Subaru should be a piece of piss.
  14. I'd just run the alloy one up front and remove the one in the back. Keep it light and as simple as possible.
  15. Are they linked? 105/120Ls had a thin piece of tube that ran from the top of the rad (up front), along the top of the front guard with a small bleed tap up near the base of the windscreen. It drained into the gutter/channel that the bonnet edge closed into on the guard. Foolproof for bleeding.
  16. Kitchen stove/oven thing - Has a power socket on either side. Are these likely to be 10A or 15A rated?
  17. Not knowing about what was under the bonnet, I wouldn't have picked such a modern transplant - When you spun around to catch up with that gaggle of Mk1s, it sounded just like a healthy, period-modded engine.
  18. Loving the presentation on this mate! I was sitting at The Cabbage Tree having a coffee in Tirau when you parked up on Saturday - I was going to wander over and ask if you were an Oldschooler, but the Barry brigade had wandered over to you and started yarning so I left you to it.
  19. Lofty goals, but if you can make the Toyota lump sound 2/3 as good as the Alfa, then my ears will be very happy.
  20. I'm not too flash with C-Rail, but that might suggest a not so healthy injector on 3, with 2 not a whole lot better. Hoon some injector clean through it and give it some jandal? I think Audi/VW forums might be able to shed some light.
