Welcome back mate!!  Well just clicked over 33 years happily married, gotta smile about that

they also say tune the engine prior to coating.

That is light, nice!!  That pump will be boxed up and across to you soon mate, depends on how busy Susie is tomorrow…

Thanks, IJ, if I ever have them out again I might get them re polished then, but I never intended it to be a show car.  Yea he is a super nice kid, very sad what happened but he is taking it really well.  Should be a good proxy Uncle/Nephew day

Interesting, I didn’t do that, the people I use are literally across the street form Pacemakers, I think they may do some of theirs, not sure.

It must be down to the quality of how it’s applied, as I say mine aren’t too bad after a couple of years now.

Well, I thought I would share this with you guys first, so Street Machine have a photographer coming over tonight to take photos of the engine.  Not totally sure about all the details, but I believe it’s going to be in the LSX Tuner mag, also potentially mill of the month in the regular mag and maybe online somehow.   Pretty stoked about it tbh, s…[Read more]

II know right, you miss logging onto this thread for a couple of days and anything can happen.

No that’s just how it’s aged.  I tried to “polish” it but nothing I used seem to make it come up any better. (not sure if anyone else has any ideas?) I did consider getting it redone, but the truth is once it’s in the car you don’t really see it.

That is rather “chunky”!!

Should have just made a full chassis car and raced sports sedan ha ha.  All good mate, “transferring” all the driveline from a largish VR 4 door to a smaller 2 door coupe was always going to involve “developments”.

Secret mens business…

Spill beans.

Yep a couple of guys have said it’s like a street legal V8 supercar.  I know it’s not but probably as close as I could make it . I think they are 620hp? Not sure of the torque.

Well, again not surprising you are getting a bit of scope creep.  Especially when you have the fab skills to do it.

Well have some exciting news, secret squirrel but stay tuned.  Upshot is i need to get my skates on and get it all buttoned up and looking good and ready to go.  Spent a nice solid day yesterday, its pretty much done now.  So I am having a “visitor” this week, but then all, things being equal should be good to get stuck into the actual install in…[Read more]

Mate.  Not surprised you are a little overwhelmed with the task. But it’s going to be a weapon. Take your time.

Would you need power steering in a car that light which a balanced setup?

I just took mine up over the tunnel, neat and simple.  Lots of ways to skin a cat though.
