Happy B-day, Big Red
Thank you all! Sorry I wasn't about yesterday, although I did manage to have a quick peek last night. I'm back in Brissie again, too!

Rallysprints In Qld
Not true, but they must go into standard mounting points....

Suspension
I'm of the other school of thought, I don't touch swaybars until last. Good shocks and springs make the world of difference.

Air Filter
The car shouldn't run at a higher temp just due to the air filter change, that's what a thermostat is all about. It's all in your head. :down:

Muffler 3k
Not really, and I'd be pretty sure that if you read the supp regs, it'd say something about the car is not allowed to be "excessively loud", what ever that maybe.

Bluey's Rebuild.
Okay. Update time. Took it to Rockhampton for a rally where the car misbehaved somewhat. Handled like a dog, no turn in at all until a hit a large rock, bending the lh chassis rail, and giving it 24mm of toe out. Pity about the 1.5 deg of castor in the wrong direction! Got car straightened out, lengthened the castor arms and went to KCF 2. Had a good run, car turned in a fashion, but was hampered by gear/ diff ratio issues. 10 th O/r, 3rd in class. Very happy with the result, as I didn't expect it to be this quick this early. Have now got hold of a pair of Lower control arms (thanks Simon!)which we are in the process of rose jointing to help out the front end some more. My 4.77 diff gears arrived the other day from NZ (thanks Tony!) and will go into the car next week. Car was dyno'd on Monday night to try and pick up some mid range. Dynoman suggested a change in extractor design, as my 4-1's are apparently mid range unfriendly. After next rally I think. Final results were 105hp @ 7000 rpm. With a 30% drivetrain loss, that's around 150 flywheel neddies. I'm happy with that for now, but hopefully i'll pick up some mid range with the pipes, as it only has 60hp @ 4000. Still sorting it all out......... Can I get a couple of movies hosted somewhere? :P

Clutches In Brisbane
I use NPC clutchs in the rally cars. (Supplied). Work very well. Jim Berry is a guru also, but can be expensive. I don't know about direct, I've had no dealings with them. R

Shocked - Hot 4s
OT again. My favourite car mag has unfortunately stopped being published, although they have started up a new mag that isn't as good. It was an Engish mag called Car and Car Conversions. Continually the best car and tech sections I've read. Sad it's gone. :P

Buying Paint
I know. I was only giving you an idea of price. Trust me, drop into a paint shop, they're usually very helpful.

Buying Paint
Yellow pages my friend. Either that or drop into an Automotive Paint shop, they're always helpful. 5 lt's of 2 pack red and hardener cost me $220.
