flyingbrick Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I reckon your plan is great Clint. 1 Quote
mjrstar Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I reckon a shallow angle merge is the way to go, from a looks and flow perspective. You can mig /tig the easy access stuff then the tricky to access bit can be arc welded.. Quote

yetchh Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Shit, your definitely gonna have to exhaust wrap that.. Not much in the way of clearance.. Quote
SOHC Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 That hose clamp trick around the tube for marking is the best trick ever 2 Quote
datlow Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Just now, cletus said: Fuck cars I'm going to start a more lucrative career in wind chimes Man there’s not much more annoying than a neighbour with some wind chimes when your trying to sleep!! A+ turbo/zorst work tho... 1 Quote
Valiant Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Yeah fuck cars. You could start a brass band if the chime business is a flop. 2 Quote
Toddy415 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 So whats the plan for tuning this thing with the blow through carby? Just drive and tweak it or still going to dyno tune it? Quote
cletus Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 I'll probably get it as close as I can myself then dyno to finish it properly Finding someone who wants to do it or knows how might be a bit of a challenge but that's later on clints problem 1 Quote
1vaknd Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 that is some beautifully tight radius bends for the shock hoops! who did you go through to get them bent up? Quote
cletus Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Bicknell autosport engineering in east tamaki, they do some pretty interesting stuff. I'm not actually sure if he did it or gets it done somewhere else, I just dropped off an old bit of fuel pipe I'd bent into the shape i needed 1 Quote
Kimjon Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 @cletus roughly what ballpark number will the under side blasting and painting cost? Its on my should get it done, but other things come up I want more list. 1 Quote
cletus Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 The guy there said $1950 +gst to blast, prime, and paint. Quite pricey but everyone I've asked says they do a good job, I could get it done for less than half the cost but I dont think it would be as good as I want it to be 1 1 Quote
f100_dreamin Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Man that’s some clean sheet metal there Clint! 1 Quote
cletus Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Yeah pretty pleased to not find any ugly stuff hiding under the guards 3 Quote
piazzanoob Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 just something you might want to fix with your new sump. the new sump doesn't have a notch for your dipstick so the stick wont go in. a easy fix is some heat and bend a area in the sump for it to clear past your old sump does if you check the photo. otherwise good progress 2 1 Quote
SOHC Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 There is a good plaster/ painter in west auckland who is very cheep and dose a nice job, I have seen his work and he did my TS250 frame, he dosnt really have an advert anywhere, I can find his number if you want. Probably good to put a stock oil pump back in I have been told they do more harm than good for engines that are not race engines with the extra bearing clearance Quote
morkster Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Sucks when 'professionals' work on your car and fuck it up for ya :-/ 1 Quote
cletus Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Yeah I am more than capable of fucking things up all by myself for much less cost On a positive note I called in to the painters to have a proper look at the hoodlining and it looks like some stitching has let go so my mrs should be able to fix it good enough for now, it wasn't mint anyway so meh. @piazzanoob cheers for the heads up, the new pan clears the dipstick ok, I did have to put a hole in the baffle cause I'd already got that wrong once before on the engine in the vg @SOHC thanks but it's already at the painter, is that an indian guy around Cartwright road somewhere? I had a customer with a torana that had been painted quite cheap and it was surprisingly good 1 Quote
