  1. Well now that you menton the wheels a mate of mine works at a tyre place and I'm going 15x5.5 on front and 15x6.5 to 7 on rear in a superlight i am in love with that wheel they look great on any old car.
  2. a what the what the on the what size did you say and in huh? nothing exceeds like excess i spose, rip a mean skid though. i didint mean carby size either. Seriously though i backed it off as i said to 3psi wound the main down almost a turn again(3 and a bit turns now) and drives and pulls great not reving it to hard as bedding in gapless rings. fix front end and reg then off to dyno to just power run it with the sniffer on then take it from there. Thanks for all your information guys its been a great help!!! stu.
  3. sorry guys will get info tomorrow just forgot and havent been on computer for while as lots late nights spent on car.
  4. not stressing mate just hope she behaves for you
  5. yeah yeah I'm still in dude as long as we can get rid of the two pigs going at it in the bay, i mean tuned ha ha and calling vicroads in morn to get booked in. I'm sure its going to be a great cruise the celica boys seem like a good bunch of guys.
  6. well now leigh you may need to start a new thread on your rolla, take care of my girl tomoz mate. Really apreciate all your help mate, thanks thanks. Jamesrolla was almost going silver but as they are powder coated and in great nick just going to leave them now and match black sill panel same as other side (not shown) as i had a look at yours and see you have the vent covers on your c panel am jelous trying to find them for a while. yours looks great man.
  7. just backed them off now, my carby tuner will V8 man has dyno and we might get him to chuck her on with a sniffer to see what she is actually doing. The needles and main jets were purchased through a MG guy and had same setup on a reasonably strong street MG 1500 no probs. Was just trying to get a drive tune as have next size richer needle may try them on dyno, until then might try a ricker base idle tune to get her regoed thanks heaps for info keep updated.
  8. Gday gday i need help as the numbskull so called carby "GURU" led me way up the garden path "they wont like anything over 2 psi" at this idles fine driving on the other hand is a different story, surges flat out so thought id turn it up and tried it several times. now at limit of reg but have a bigger one ill fit tomoz as it only does it a little when its slightly loaded and at about 2500 to 3000 I'm guessing as tach isnt fitted yet. Sorry they are 1 1/2" in size and press is now 5.5psi. thanks I'm also running an electric pump. stu.
  9. Hey people havent been on computer lately but just got the roadworthy on her today needed wheel alignment some skinnier front tyres(second hand) as 195`s don't clear guard but will change when reged, oh and a new set of wipper blades had to leave something for him to pick on. Here are two more picks i would have painted the bonnet and beaver panel but my panel beater is fixing a mates 40 grand LC torana after some tool t-boned him. I also not sure on what colour to paint her i have 3 choice so far white, ford envy green or the ford yellow like just a bright yellow, any suggestions would be great.
  10. Hey guys i work at special piston services in vic and have a customer with 3k for speedway car and he is was saying the biggest off shelf piston was .060" or for you metric blokes 1.5mm over std he is going .080 or 2mm over as that is the biggest he can go for his class can make them bigger but any more is toooo much i feel. You could always run a heap more comp run it on that 100 octane shell fuel, sorry its not a race motor, all you need is a bit more comp, small cam increase, port the head a bit decent carb setup with zost i thick that will keep you happy (maybe)
  11. It all comes back to whether head, exhaust,compression and how restrictive inlet is to what sort of cam will work best for application. I have a 5k with twin su`s but will soon be stroking it with 7k crank and rods and yes i can make it fit well i hope i can, also with 7k efi which i have so would be interested to know which choice you made and how it all goes. You could ask a few of your local eng shops as there are a heap of 3k guys racing speedway so a lot of shops know about these types of engine
  12. Thats looks great from the paint to the engine bay all the way to the boot. Great stance, I really mean i just love the whole car. there is a ke 25 here in vic reged and engineered with a 289 windsor number plates TWO-89 it was beige with hub caps a real sleeper, now it just has black wheels and a 6/71 powered 302 windsor. Last i heard it was for sale, but this thing takes it two enother level. Nothing makes people look 2,3,4 times like a v8 rolla!!!!!
  13. considering simmilar thing on my mates straight 8 in his 51 buick i had to talk him out of two carbs. But a flat slide motorbike carb per pot would be the way to do it i recken, that would class as old skool as thats all they would have had back then.
  14. 4 carbs r better than 2 tho :( Now Leigh you can't leave people hanging like that, sorry mate but i have to post this to clarify. Not 4 throttle bodies these are what he means!!!! 2400 cfm combined 4 x 48mm idf (not ida no chokes) not bad carb setup for a 308. And yes the bay does look great with all that fuelly goodness.
  15. Rock on thats insane i saw this on toymods a while ago, and by chance its not rego`d is it.
  16. On dec 3rd the southern hotrod club (i think thats what there called) are having an event/show, at lilydale gun club. One of our customers is organising it and has flyers at work so ill get more details tomoz. I will going with my car and a blown 32 coupe mates dad and if all is his finnished his blown 502 powered 32 roadster. Just seeing if anyone is interested in something different
