  1. I used Pennzoil in my grunter 3/4K after Penrite oil didn't cut it.
  2. Sparco deep dish. Love it so much I move it from car to car. :)
  3. It's not what you've got, it's how you use it. Drive smarter, not necessarily faster. You should still be able to beat him in your car. I once won outright a bitumen motorkhana on a huge skidpan in a Hyundai Excel, beating 50 other cars. And I did it by just over 8 seconds for the day. There were a lot of annoyed HSV's and WRX's. Don't get annoyed. Don't worry what others are doing. Go and have fun. If you're not having fun, stop doing it.
  4. Still alive, just resting. 80% of the way through a 2TG conversion.
  5. Yes it would have. :) I did 34 events that year. It was enough to get my name on the Momo. And no Col, I was never THAT good.
  6. Going to Deni and doing the autocross the day before is a must. I remember doing 9 rounds of VMC, 8 rounds of TCCA motorkhana, and 6 rounds of TCCA khanacross in a year. Plus a couple of group 4 events. And a couple of autocrosses. And a few of hillclimbs. Ahhh, the good old days.
  7. Looks like someone turned up at the ATM of talent and was told he had insufficient funds.
  8. No. All for sales go in the classified section. You post in it the same way you posted here. :locked:
  9. I'm different. The aircraft fifo to me. :)
  10. At work for another 9 hours. :(
  11. If he is a member of this forum, then yes, please pm me the details.
  12. Also wind on as much castor as you ca if you're going neg camber. I machined mine to get more.
  13. Ta. I'll add it to the list. :)
  14. I'd forgotten about this topic. Zen I found a hard read. Don't mind Phillip K Dick either. Currently in a Steampunk phase. Have just finished an urban fantasy/ undead stage.
  15. Because people cut corners. People don't use the right materials. Because people bend them under the dash because they don't want to cut it. Because people don't put decent feet on the cage and they punch through the floor. Because people mount them to back parcel shelves and don't reinforce them. I could go on and on. Seriously, fit a CAMS spec cage and the cars now a two seater. No ifs or buts. Cages are a pain in the arse day to day. And to be honest, if you have a modern car, you don't need one. At all. I drove stunt cars for three years with no cage. Didn't need one. If you roll down a bank after hitting a roo you did the wrong thing in the first place. Defensive driving 101. Only competition cars should have cages.
  16. In relation to the filter for the twin carbs, (I know I'm in late here) I used to use a Subaru one. I think the part number is A337 or similar. Carry on.
  17. I can't see why not. Dummy rig it and see if it still works as advertised.
  18. Wow. I knew of four, but I didn't realise there were that many.
  19. No. It's different around the headlights.
  20. Recaros would require a blue plate more than likely. As a previous poster said, you know you can't drive a modified / 4ag ke70 on p plates don't you?
  21. I've always thought half cage for half wits. That said, if a car wants to be registered on the road these days, half cage is the way to go. Full cage is just too hard. Yes it will be safe, however kiss goodbye to carrying anyone in the back seat. Best bet is to reregister the car as a 2 seater. Thats what I did anyway. You can't bend cages to the roofline anymore, so no head space in the back. More than likely. However if you're going to turtle it, draw a line between the main hoop and the front of your bonnet, and make sure you head is not poking above that line, because thats where the roof will come down to. It is better however than the roof coming down to the door line. Can't comment on this one. Do you also sit down to piss? Really, this is not a reason to have a cage. You cannot legally wear a harness on the road. 4/5/6 point harness (with a few very small exceptions) are not ADR approved. You would only be able to use it "offroad". Having owned registered competition cars for the last 20 years, I go out of my way to have normal belts in them now, as they're much more comfy if you have to drive more than 20 minutes somewhere. It's safe, but I don't know why you'd do it. A good cage will do more to strengthen the car. Cheers Dwarf
  22. How much money do you want to spend? That will ultimately decide your choice.
  23. Never used one in twenty years on a 25.
