Hi, Has anyone in Australia had their purchased or custom uprights tested as part of compliance? I was speaking with a chap from the hot rodding community at a car show and he was saying allot of the imported hotrod suspension items from USA were failing testing. This is in South Australia...

Hi guys, Anyone ever shipped furniture or similar type goods from Germany to Australia. The furniture holds sentimental value more than anything. I met my partner overseas and she has now been living here 3 years, would be nice if we could have some of her families affects around. She lived...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a well-priced shipping agent from USA to AUS? Example: I was looking on JEGS at Wilwood ProSpindles and to purchase a pair shipping was over $100 with no option for slow cheaper methods. I used a guy in Melbourne years ago who imported Engines from the States to...

Hi all, Is there any build manuals available from manufacturers. I dare say it's a tightly held object, however I wasn't sure if some free examples were around from dated manufacturers or someone being naughty and putting it online. Doing a scratch build poses a ton of small things like...

Hi all, Sorry to double up on threads i just found this section which is more suited (mod feel free to combine posts) Every scratch builder says find your fibreglass then build the chassis to fit. What are my options in Australia? Is there anyone providing the body alone at a good price? It...

Hi all, Every scratch builder says find your fiberglass then build the chassis to fit. What are my options in Australia? Is there anyone providing the body alone at a good price? It doesn't have to be the most exact copy of the original however it must look the part. There was a bloke on...

Hi all, I would like to model my space frame in cad to make sure all is well before cutting any steel. I was hoping to find a very simple cad to use or a cad package that has a tutorial in creating a space frame. Price isn't an issue as I have friends who are students and can even get autocad...

Hi all, Racefab sells GT40 plans for $2800 Racefab Inc. Does anyone know wha they are like? The price is very expensive and there is no images on the site of the product. Any thoughts? cheers jonesy

Just curious, but hypothetically if you had the knowledge to take a existing front mount rwd trans and create a new mid mount case, with inbuilt diff and a new part here and there what would you base it on? I like the t56, its pretty cheap from corvettes and mustangs and things and someone has...

Hi all, I had a fun week. Made redundant a few weeks ago, got told Thursday i owe 8k to the Tax department and while driving to Handorf for a meal my alternator crapped itself. I have a 95 NF Ford Fairlane v8. I removed the alternator and was quoted $269 to replace the Regulator, Rectifier...

Hi all, I have read over the forums and have a bit of time this weekend to stop by the wreckers. I have decided on a lexus v8 which at most would put out 400hp. Due to lower hp and torque i figured the UN1 from R25 and 016 From Audi 100 are about the best buys from Australia pick-a-parts. I cant...

Thought this was a bit silly to post in the suspension handling section. I unfortunately have come across some nasty accidents and been first on scene. Had to hand around and help the unconscious occupants while the car was cut away. I noticed how the interior and reinforcing bars twist and...

hey all, I did a search as thought this would have been asked but couldnt find a/the thread. Ive been told Audi 016 trans are a good compromise between price and handling power ie standard lexus V8 etc. A few of the Australians on this board mentioned they were finding them down the pick-a-part...

There has been a allot of discussion about flipping trans etc, but who can cut the new crown and pinion gears at a resonable price to suite the inbuilt diff. Years ago i use to see speed shops in magazines advetising custom cut gear sets for 9inch ford diffs im assuming anyone that can do this...

Hi all, I am after some C4 suspension bits, mainly: 88-96 Vette ft arms, and spindles, lower arms, 88-96 Vette ft brakes(rotors and calipers). Anyhow i found some at a good price on ebay but they were attached to a front crossmember with other peices i didnt need. The seller was happy to...

hi, I am from australia, and have been a big fan of the gt40 since i first learned of it, being a ford fan naturualy this would be a nice little car to have the garage. I had planed on building a car from scratch mainly the body and was told that a lambo was my best bet as there was info and...
