  1. Been looking for 15s, but all i can find in 5 stud are fucking Mk1s Also, any of you other x chassis fools used these guys gear before? Looking at getting a few things while this is off the road. http://www.serialnine.com/ Should only be a couple of weeks away before this is off the road.
  2. All the meets ive been to havent had that problem before, it was just the sheer amount of cars and people parking in stupid spots.
  3. Pic came out pretty poos, but was a huge turnout.
  4. Will talk tonight about subframe.
  5. Well for the track im going to be running almost straight pipe, but for the road ill have to figure something out. Quite like your idea of turning the exhaust into an oval for extra clearance.
  6. Ill grab a pic tomorrow. Oh sweet, cheers for that. Thats a fair amount of loss for that. Will probably do that then.
  7. Lt_dan, dont know if you know him, but Markku does.
  8. Think you could take a loom and ecu back down with you?
  9. Dunno yet, i kept the extractors off the old engine but i cant figure out what they are. Probably 2 inch or 2 1/4 exhaust.
  10. Had a think about what i wanted to do with the wagon after the anzac day keto day. Was always going to be upgrading the diff and gearbox, and now that i have pretty much everything i need, i will be getting underway with that, just need to pick my diff up. Wasn't going to do this for a while, but have had another 4age since before i got the car. Was going to wait for quite a while before i put it in, but changed my mind and will be putting it in in the next couple of weeks. The head is the one KPR built. These are the specs on it. 4age Bigport bottom end factory, fully rebuilt 4age Smallport Head Underbucket shim conversion Kelford 314 degree 10mm lift intake cam Kelford 308 degree 9.35mm lift exhaust cam Kelford KVS101-16 Racing Valve Springs Driven performance Adjustable cam gears Also got the ecu and loom off NicT. Its a megasquirt and has a running tune so i can get it going then take it to a dyno, or might even give tuning a bit of a go. So yea, ripped the old 4age and gearbox out and sold it,now im going to get stuck into giving the engine bay a good clean up, might aso get todd to move the steering rack forward. Will see. Oh and will be putting my twin headlight setup on and widening the riversides. Going to be broke for a while i can tell So today at work i had nothing to do so decided to have a good look at the manifold for the ITBs for the first time. Was pretty stocked because i got the manifold and throttle bodies for $100. This is it here, not a very good photo of the manifold itself but meh. Some of the welds are pretty ugly, and there was a layer of silicon over the top of it, peeled it off and found a crack smack bang in the middle of the weld. Which is annoying because i cant weld alloy, nor have a welder at work that can do it anyway. Also the side which bolts to the head wasn't machined very well. It looks like they used a 10mm end mill and tried going over the whole thing, as you can see. And it was also not square, so chucked it on the mill and went at it. Ran out of time to finish it today but i had taken about 0.25mm off and it still wasn't square. Still unsure if ill use this manifold but will finish the machining tomorrow and make a call.
  11. Rad. Cant wait for slam. Dont think Ewans been replying to many people lately?
  12. I have a 1gge about to be removed
  13. Agree with 1g and straight pipes. No mufflers at all.
  14. Sweet. Yea Todd will be there, might be coming down with him the week before or will be flying down on the 7th.
  15. Hope this is going to be at the drift south final
  16. Good evening all, I was wondering if any of you fine Fuckatane folk would do me a favor and have a look at a car i am interested in buying? Unsure on exact location but can easily find out for you. There will be rewards of the alcoholic/cash variety if anyone can help out.
