And I am anal about shutting off the cylinder all the time when not using it.  Even during the day.  That way you absolutely minimize the use/wastage of gas.  I have a larger cylinder too, not sure what size, but you chew through the tiny one very quickly.

I haven’t actually had a chance to sit down with Brenton and discuss what he settled on for compression etc.  We have a goal in mind for hp on 98, and we have set the target rpm at 7k.

Just remember the volume of E85 is more for the same power so you need a larger diameter hose.  If you go braided use 200 series (Teflon) as its compatible with E85 and petrol, and as a bonus is much easier to fit the fittings anyway.  Hardline imo where possible, then braided where needed from there.  But braided gets expensive, the fittings ad…[Read more]

Awesome, nice score.  Imo forget the gasless, it just doesn’t produce a nice weld.  But play around, great skill to have

Finally!!!  (and i like wiring…)

Nice bit of shed therapy today.  Not the most glamorous of jobs but I have never been happy with the way the loom was originally done.  So a good mate of mine Mike has come around and we have spent some time tidying up the main loom where it goes across on the firewall, and there will now be two looms forward, one under the ITB’s will go to the s…[Read more]

Yea I was wondering the same thing.  I mean I know headers on a streeter are a compromise length wise, but they are very uneven.  Still would love to see some in the flesh.  Not sure how low they would sit either.  I noticed quite a difference swapping form the Paccies to the 4 into 1’s as to how low they sit.

Thought this was worth posting, thanks to a guy on the LS The World FB page.  These apparently are available and negate the need for the starter swap.  I don’t have any more info than that but thought it might be worth posting.

Yea, I was told the Quad was a actually a good carby.  9L at 30 psi, lol lucky you are still around to tell the tale…

Thats one nice little lesson right there :)  Nothing anywhere near as severe (or impressive) but back in the day running LPG on my VL they would backfire occasionally when starting (they just did), but the injection set up was only held down by the centre threaded rod that normally just holds the air cleaner, unfortunately on a Quadrajet the…[Read more]

Dont hold back Cav, tell us what you really think…

Yea agree, I used it doing some work on the Kombi, gives you the ability to bend and shape with some feel rather than just bashing the hell out of it

Yea nice work, love seeing people have a go at jobs themselves.

Just catching back up on the forum, cars looking schmick!!  I was think Red Centre Nats as its relatively easy for me to get too, and just going by the social media posts seems they are a bit more cruisy about letting people have some fun.  But yes, def have to get across to catch up with you guys on the east coast, in a big way….

Wow, nice work, looks great in there

Same porta power as mine, one of those things you dont use very often, but when you do, you are glad you have it….

I would love to have something to update you on!!  Pistons apparently left the US yesterday, supposed to be here in 5 days (man Aussie post sucks balls in comparison).  Brenton has unfortunately had a pretty serious health issue over Christmas but luckily is over that (fingers crossed) and so is able to get back into it.  Hoping to finish off th…[Read more]

Surprised you keep ABS on a race car, I thought that was considered “lazy” ha ha…

Good to the see the Equipe of Doom lives on to fight another day…

I didn’t think you were allowed to do that, you cant vent anything to atmosphere no matter what.  At least that’s my understanding 9could be wrong).  You can get around it by removing the vented cap and using a solid cap when you go through engineering.  That’s what the guy with the white Brock VC look alike did I am pretty sure.
