  1. The only way to do up a shocky nut properly is with a rattle gun and heaps of small pulses of the trigger. It'll pull home. Sometimes with the weight on the car you can get them up tight with a breaker bar and some vice grips up high on the shock so not to damage the part of the shaft that runs through the shocky seal (not recommended - use a rattle gun).
  2. Self delusion is the most powerful tool the human race has! Say after me - "I am a pro spray painter", "I am a pro spray painter"! repeat 100 + times !! :lolcry:
  3. I swear I saw this on Yahoo JP many moons ago hey. Those wheels and that body really ring a bell. Great score though. Great to see such a rare car in good hands.
  4. Will you accept a barrel of olive oil for barter if you come for a visit and do the top coat on my rolla? :laff:
  5. Looks great! How's the 2T go? I think Black centers would do it more justice hey.
  6. A big enough grinder and hammer and welder and anything works! whether it'll get through the pits is another question!
  7. If you put commodore wagon rear shocks in cut rear springs will stay perfectly captive, technically it's illegal to cut springs, but anyone who's played with KE's know if you have commo shocks it's as safe as factory with full height springs. Rear Kings are fine, but the fronts are a bit soft IMO, unless they're custom ordered. They're low height standard weight spring. $300 Otomoto weld on coilover kit, is the path I'm going on my corona struts, can be had in any spring weight. What you do just depends on if your looking for looks, or handling I guess.
  8. 5K advance curve is dud. the 4K will have more for sure. I'd honestly have a look into the jaycar kit. It'll even run on points and drive an electric coil.
  9. Hall effect makes a 5V square wave. Magnetic toyota pickups are a variable reluctance pickup and makes a low voltage AC spike. All K electric dizzies (almost all toyotas for this matter) run magnetic pickups.
  10. I have had bad thoughts about angle grinding an ST185 and an SW20 together for 5 years now... Twin 2GR's you reakon?

    E85

    Cold fusion is a proven process. Will cost 3 trillion dollars, but a US company admitted they have perfected the technology in 1999 and didn't release any information until 2009 when they had created an economically viable process. Get on ted.com if you don't believe me.

    E85

    On boosted car's I'd agree with more HP from E85. But there was a toymods member who spent $5K on a purpose built a 15:1 comp E85 beams atmo motor and it made 1 extra HP and used 40% more fuel than the lower comp motor with the same head. He said you could keep winding the timing advance past 45deg and the motor wouldn't ping, but it didn't make any extra power.

    E85

    Exactly the same as running methanol, but ethanol is less corrosive. You need a brass float in the carby if its plastic. Holden claim for E85 you should run nickel plated steel fuel lines rather than aluminium, so get rid of any ally lines, brass will work there too. There are different grade silicone O-rings for the fuel system too, as standard has been known to perish faster. If you're only running for 24 hours I doubt a plastic float will fail in the carby in that time, don't quote me on it though :lolcry:
  14. Oh, I wondered what was getting the GTE. FWD torque steer party :cool: I'd run an ecu that can run launch and traction control for those hairy wet weather days QLD is getting fond of again...
  15. The reason why I say that polarity is a myth is because I believe in the scientific method. Polarity is a observation that has a supported hypothesis, and should be replicable in other laboratories. A hypothesis should be definitive and create a model without need for if's and but's. All scientific theory that doesn't stand up to the to modern scrutiny and observations that advanced technology has given us should be taken with a grain of salt. For without questioning the scientific understanding using the latest technology at our disposal the human race wouldn't have got past 12th century alchemy and witch burnings. Get on google and do a few searches - there's water based ultrasonic part cleaners and all sorts of tech related to this finding for sale these days.
