WTF! Really? Tell us more..... Sorry about the thread drift in the Engines Forum. Maybe you should post this to the Jokes thread in the Paddock?? I just can't wait to read the punch line! Just figured out why. You guys are going to be pushing so hard that you will be spending more time going...

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices Toluca Lake Classic Motorsports Toluca Lake Classic Motorsports Interesting, I wonder what the price is? Not cheap I'll bet. Some interesting stuff on their website including GT40 bodies. Anyone...

Ah, I never saw that, I would have thought this thread would have been the appropriate place to post that... C'mon Ron, you know better than that! ;) These trans don't break! No, it was all good, just fitted some closer ratios as I found I never used 1st and 4th was miles too high. Standard...

Not as much progress over the winter as I would have liked, but it's been one of the worst winters in years, and then the quake as well...... But daylight saving has arrived so everythings looking up. Besides the crash repairs needed after punching the wall at the last Levels meeting there has...

Here we go, photos and oil levels/volumes in an inverted 930. In the first pic,the oil level to the bottom of the bung (lower black line) is 2¼ litres. You can see that is approximately in line with the bottom of the input shaft. This also coincides with the level at which the teeth at the...

Not only that Tim. My sheep finds it extremely offensive too! If you want to be a NZ resident you will have to show your sheep a little more respect, or you could be in for a rough ride;)

I'm with Pete on this one. When overtaking in either a straight line or in a corner you can't just chop across on someone until you are clear of them. And relying on the other driver to back out of it so the move can be completed safely always has a chance of ending in tears. Hamilton was...

RCR? Although there seems to be some disquiet in some quarters about some aspects of their operation. Gregg had/has a body for sale http://www.gt40s.com/forum/garage-sale/32163-mark-iv-body-windshield.html Hope all's well with you Paul. Those 930 sheets you sent sent me years ago are still a...

Yeah, the aftershocks are causing some further damage, 649 of them as of now. Most of my stuff is OK and has stayed on shelves etc but items leaning against walls wind up strewn across the floor. Only real casualty has been some stuff that I'm storing for Jac Mac so I guess the quake effects...

Life is getting back to normal now. But there is still a lot of demolition, cleaning up, and rebuilding to be done. Here is a summary/overview of the event and its effects cut and pasted from A city tested - and passing well | Stuff.co.nz (There is a passing comparison in this article with the...

Jac Macs place is miles away from the earthquake zone, so he's OK from that point of view. I just tried to phone him but the phone seems disconnected. I know he was having computer problems. Maybe there's a telecoms problem down there somewhere..... I know I'll hear from him eventually...

For anyone that's interested, here's a time lapse map plot showing epicentre location, strength, and depth of the main event plus all the after shocks to date. Quite fascinating really.... Christchurch Quake Map

Thanks Pete. Two people are in Intensive Care one from falling masonary the other from flying glass. One death, the victim of a quake induced heart attack. Thats really a remarkably light list of serious casualties. I've just been out this morning for a bit of a look around some of the...

Here's a couple of links to photos Christchurch earthquake - the aftermath - National - NZ Herald Pictures Christchurch earthquake's destruction - National - NZ Herald Pictures

Thanks for the thoughts guys. Both Lim and I, and our property, have come through relatively unscathed. There is a lot of infrastructural damage, water, power, sewage, which will affect everyone here in Chch. Boiling and conservation of drinking water is a priority. Much of the power has now...

Yep. Saw it at Teretonga Speedfest this year. Beautifully built. Heard that Dave's still got it. What's the goss?

Compared to what? And why? Turbo boxes, G50/5x should be pretty good. 930 in many ways even better. If you've got a V8 why would you even need a six, or five speed? The 930 four speed has ideal ratios for road use behind a V8. IMO. If you find Porsche ratios are not so good for autocross...

Terry, basically no. The base must be a metal foot to spread the loads (saloon car scenario really). 253-28 is for attaching removable members to the main roll bar. ie backstays etc. If you are keen enough to flick through Sch. A you will find all the relevant regs in there. None of which...

Leon and Terry, 253-28. This is what Russell has done. There is an excellent drawing in Sch. A MSNZ safety regs (Schedule A) are online here http://www.motorsport.org.nz/assets/MotorSport-Manual/App-2.02-Sch-A-2010.pdf and 253-28 is at the top of the second to last page

Andrew that's fine if you've got a tame registered engineer. The other alternative, which I have done with my backstays, is very neat and tidy as per Drawing 253-28 in Schedule A Edit: Ah, but now that I've read your post again 253-28 won't work conveniently if the stays have to be removed...
