I was at Phillip Island with my 40 entered it in regularity, its a fast track , awesome 3 days . I saw your car on display it looked good. Dont know what you look like so didnt say hello. Jim

Are they not quite long as it has a rear mount on the rear housing.

I did all the wiring on my car. I would do it differently know. A power supply at the front middle and rear. Same with the fuse boxes X3, front middle rear. I think it would be the only way I would do it next time because it uncomplicates things. It would have made things way easier, you end...

I agree its not to shabby for a back yard creation. You sheet work looks good. Did you make the upper arms. Jim

I got done for speed not the noise. The noise it what makes you speed because it sounds so good. Yes Jason I was moving. I have to admit the cop was good he could have made it worse. These cars do it easy you need restraint I have found out. That one squirt cost a couple of grand in time of...

The sound of my car lost me 10 points on my licence in one hit and 12 months good behaviour. And when thats over I have 3 points out of 13 for 2 years and 4 months. It was a 2nd 3 gear squirt. Lesson learnt, know Im an angel. Jim

I have had 2 TB diffs in my 40 ,I track and street. The first one I found I could not run a rear sway bar as it caused an issue in harder corners if the inside wheel got light. With the rear bar off it allowed the inside wheel to go into droop and get the grip. As it turned out I didnt need the...

thought it was leons box but just went and had a look, its not. Looks like a ricardo but not.

Gary in the day they just slapped them on , you maybe over thinking it. When I do my next set I am going to try a very very pale blue , I recon when it fades it will go white.

If the tanks are steel?. the rust in the filter I'm thinking they are. You would be better off to have them stripped and plated. The rust will likely be on the bottom, you can fill the tank with white vinegar and neutralize with bicarb soda afterward. If you don't spend the time it will...

PREKOTE SURFACE PRE TREATMENT | UNDERCOAT FOR ALLOYS & COMPOSITES Marcos I did research on this for my tub. Paint will not stick to alloy was the outcome. Hence the phosphate coatings then the paint will adhere to that. I used this and am very happy. I have only primed at this point it...

NO. Would not get behind the wheel of that. My gut feeling is it will end badly. Jim

I agree with Bob ,springs can be to heavy because the TB are not as good as they should be to come home on their own. Change the bellcrank that the cable is attached to. Longer arm rolling on the back of the pedal and short arm attached to the cable. It will increase your throw which...

Terry how can a lower arm (conventional) be 4 pivots. 2 lower inners and a ball joint. Are you talking about the twin link arm set up?. Actually maybe I need to do some study, I just played in susprog 3 with my set up moving the link on the clevis and other than KPI it didn't seem to...

Not sure about that Bill maybe it our explanations. I did a drawing in the first the yellow ring is the upper trailing link rear joint on the same plane as the rear outer lateral. The green line is the shape of the control arm. The 2 drawing is with the rear trailing link joint not on the...

Steven The offset is to make the suspension 3 elements not 4. 3 elements (pivots) it will move freely through its ark. 4 pivots will bind on bushes but still works on r/joints, but you may get some odd reactions in the arks. Jim

My son is into Japanese cars and has a race car, when we work on the cars or go to the track it has helped our relationship no end we just connect. He is coming around on the historic cars, he loves the in car footage on youtube of the T70s M8 and GT40s so I feel there is hope for him yet...

There are variables Mark. Cylinder capacity state of tune ect ect. This is general , if you have a primary of 1.75" then I come out of the collector at 2" then cone up to 2.25" maybe 2.5" then into the mufflers. A collector is like a carby it is a venturi, If you go large it reduces the...

Yes that's correct drivers manual adjust. You wont get through in NSW without in car adjustment on LH mirror. It was that way in 2010 and still the same. Maybe the lrover slipped through the net. Jim

Rules in OZ are the mirrors must be adjustable from the drivers seat. I did have Toyota mirrors on for engineering when it went through the RTA, they where electric but also ugly. I put some s/steel bullet mirrors on ,none adjustable. The drivers mirror is simply put your arm out the...
