RUNAMUCK Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm extremely disappointed that you're not fitting knock off chinese Bride seats, procured off a sideways hat page on farcebook. You'll never be able to rip.it like Lil jonny without them. you'll likely also not suffer back injuries from broken seats either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Chungs seats. I remember that guy from chch that used to be a mod on this forum with the Capri that used to do shows and shit. Retro tech I think he called himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I thought that bulb was for inserting in your anus and it blew up when you got on boost. Just so you knew how hard to push it. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f100_dreamin Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 haha wish I had known this before I refurbed the standard VJ callipers, oh well at least I know there is an upgrade if I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hello Cletus. Do you think doing the whole S chassis front swap as discussed previously might be in order? It looks like you're doing the hardest part for less of the potential benefits. My two cents. Sincerely. Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Good day to you Peter I briefly thought about it, but it means a lot more work/ rework of things I've already done or purchased, and changes the look of the engine bay quite a lot which I'm not keen on If my plan works, I think it should be quite straight forward and easy to achieve, and still look factory in the engine bay Bilstein shocks with circlip grooves for the lower spring platform Already have springs and upper adjusters in stock Lower arm will need a bush housing machining up, tig it in, will replace Chrysler bush and pin setup with a long bolt , probably use a leaf spring shackle bush setup Strengthening the shock mount I think a curved bar welded to the chassis and shock brace should be good enough I went down a tangent of mounting the turbo at the back again which would have its pluses and minuses but I think this path is easier and potentially a better result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Good afternoon Cletus. You raise a number of valid points, and it is my opinion that you should continue as you were intending to. I am however quite taken by the idea of an S chassis front end swap and find it most disappointing that cars of this ilk have be come so expensive. It is my opinion that an S chassis has much to offer an early Valiant. Regards. Peter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 I've often wondered how plausible it would be to adapt the front end out of a mid 2000's nissan. They're a heavier car, (pushing 1850+kgs) yet have handling these mighty and venerable mopars could only dream of. I myself am all in favour of the proposed upgrade. Mainly because I can copy it for minimal cost/effort. I think you'd definitely want to also brace the lower arm, as seen on you tube. And after seeing that undercar video of a certain white vg sedan, I'm not really a fan of the under engineered top arm mounts either. (They almost always crack) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
