  1. ^^^^^^^^^^ However, they are quite a rare bird.
  2. I'll put up photo's of my low leaf pack tonight or tomorrow if you like.
  3. "Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick two." I you want budget mods, search like you've never searched before. It's no good asking us what we would do, when at the end of the day, the car is YOURS. Make an imformed decision. Don't ask others to do it for you. All the information you will ever need will be in here or Toymods somewhere.
  4. Find someone that will take it for free. They're probably only worth about $40 scrap for both if they're bare shells if you take it to Simmies by yourself.
  5. I've inverted the main spring, added an 8mm leaf and reset the others. Gave me 70mm of drop in the rear on a 25. This is about as low as any sane individual would want to go. Oh, and buy some DECENT shocks, you'll need them. Lowering blocks blow chunks.
  6. Uni Degrees can be much cheaper with the right brand of cereal, and some scissors. :lolcry: I should know, the wife has three of them! :)
  7. Have a bit of a search around in here, as I remember this being discussed a LOOONG time ago, and I think someone may have put up a template for one. I'd find it for you, but am feeling extra lazy today. :lolcry:
  8. 86%. Got hammered on the pulleys. Went through and checked my answers, and am a bit dubious on at least one of theirs...........
  9. As far as I know, genuine Levins only came out with 4AGE's. I could be wrong as my knowledge of them is limited to say the best.
  10. I'm convinced there is no words in Finnish for back off. And for you sprinter/ levin people, this bloke needs wipers on his back windows...
  11. Starlet + 2.4 litres + 6 speed sequential + testicularly enchanced pedaler. Irishman Maurice Moffat. Legend. http://www.motorsportmad.com/view/1824/iri...maurice-moffett
  12. I know it's an old thread, but it's mine and I can do what I like with it. :P For all you Gemini tragics out there, a German bloke called Walter Rohrl. Walter again in one of the finest bits of footage of footwork around. A bloke thinks he can drive until he see this.
  13. The new law isn't stupid. The new laws work. It's a proven statistical fact in other states. Just because you're effected by them doesn't mean they're stupid. People will always do whqat they want, but it goes a long way to protecting young inexperienced (oooh hang on, I have twelve months driving experience, I'm going to buy myself a Silvia because I'm the best!) drivers effectively from themselves. Did you know that 18 year old male drivers are 4 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident than the equivilent female driver? Did you know that 347 18 year old drivers have been killed on Australian roads in the last 10 years as opposed to 113 40 year olds? (All statistics are available on Federal government web sites....). Anything that contributes to the lessening of this carnage is only going to be good thing. Have you ever been at an accident and seen an emergency services worker turn up to find his 19 year old son in the car dead? It's not pretty. And it's not good. You may not drive everywhere sideways, but it's the inherent male testosterone driven- I'm going to show off to my mates- oh look a wet road, watch this for fancy driving attitude that is contributing as well to the stastics. Okay the laws are a bit sucky, and we also know that education should also play a major part in the overall solution. But lets face it, it's three years out of your driving life. It's not the end of the world. I've spent a large part of the last few months standing in parched paddocks in the depths of country Queensland teaching young, inexperienced drivers basic defensive driving techniques. Do you know that I can point out to you the ones that are going to have a good sized accident in the not too distant future? They're generally the ones that think they already know everything and that they know better. This is an argument that you're not going to win with me. I work with it every day, and I know pretty much exactly what you don't know. So, as Uncle Chop-Chop says, Harden The f@$k Up.
  14. I believe there is a fly plague nationwide at the moment. They seem to be most concentrated at race tracks.
  15. Why don't you let your fingers do the walking and find out what people are charging?? They can range from a few hundred dollars up to the set that I have at about $700. You get what you pay for.
  16. Cameron, if it was my old head, it was a k head......
  17. Don't post wanteds in regional forums. That's what the classifieds are for. :(
  18. Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.
  19. No, the new laws are there to stop inexperienced people like you from putting big engines in small cars and killing themselves. You're only having to deal with what your brethren in other states have had for the last 20 years. Oh, and the proof is there that the system works.
  20. You boys don't learn do you? :(
  21. And this thread is about???? You guys have already got one thread of your own, don't keep making others.
  22. This thread is older than i am. Please look at the date before posting in future.
  23. You don't need to as such. They'll run, however good system will make a big difference. Why not start with an exhaust and then think about a cam and carbies? That is the more logical progression. Don't forget a good heat shield for the carbies or you'll be stopping to let the car cool down every 15 minutes.
  24. IMHO KE20's don't really need them.
  25. I use a 12 inch metal ruler. Worked for every car I've owned.
