Gaz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 so r u guys a car club or jsut internet related?dnt no much bot it a. Club based online. Have meets, cruises but usually just get on the piss. We run trackdays in Taupo and hold an anual "Nats" where we all go race, drink, cruise and stuffz for weekend. Pretty much just get out there and do shit, talk cars etc/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Bit off topic but.. At the moment there isnt really any advantage of us running as an affliated club.. is that what you mean? . We would have to pay fees, charge members to belong and do alot of bookwork. Would turn into ALOT more work for not alot of gain at the moment. In saying that Zep nor I have really looked hard into it so dont really know?? If youd like to start a thread and think someone would be able to point us heads up then go ahead..

mk2maniac Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Rotina, In regards to the red Cortina, just wondering if you're running a heater, because I noticed that it no longer has a heater bubble, nor the cowl vent to allow air into the heater? Also I noticed that it no longer has the vents in the C pillar either. Did you relocate them or just remove them altogether? I was considering removing them from mine, but thought otherwise, as they are to relieve cabin pressure. I've decided I like them anyway. Also, with the engine bay smoothing, did you cut out all the little recesses in the inner guards and weld new plates in? I'd like to see some pics of the C-notches too.

Fair enough that you smoothed the cowl vent since it's not needed. I just thought if you were running a heater, you may have plumbed it to collect air from somewhere else. I won't be using the original heater, because a) it's far too big, ugly, and shit, and there's not enough room under the dash anymore because of the firewall recess. So I thought I might smooth the cowl too and plumb the heater somewhere else hidden, maybe a vent in the inner guard. Or I could still utilise it and fit a smaller heater. I intend to do lots of driving with the car, so if I happen to be out in the cold and rain, I'll want a heater so I can see where I'm going! C notches tend to be very basic, that's the beauty of them, but I'm still interested to see some pics. Do you have some photos of the work you did making the new inner guards etc. It's not really an easy feat to build a chassis for a unibodied car, nor is it cheap, which is why I'm not going down that road. I don't think it's really necessary either. I will incorporate some strengthening in the car, but ultimately the only major changes underneath will be the front and rear suspension, which are being entirely reworked with 4 link in the back and tubular wishbones and a custom made crossmember up front. There's the firewall recess and tunnel mods too of course. I'm undecided whether I want to fit a cage anymore either. If I could, mine would be C notched, mini tubbed, fitted with an entirely new floor with greater space in the rear for 4 link, full length bead rolled tunnel and smoothed engine bay with rolled inner guards, but none of that is a practical car building necessity. The car itself is in such good nick that there's no sense in hacking it all up really, but modifying it to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
