    That Luke is a Lancia delta intergrale, same as the last one, just less ground effect. Last one still has about 2-3" of extension in the guards. But they do have boxed guards std.

    Like that yellow thing about 1:40 with the boxed out guards,massive front track & even bigger rear wing? Yes, definitely build Maxi like like that!!! :yes:

     

    Those Irwin things will help with nuts/bolts you can get a socket onto, not the ones that need an open-ended spanner. (e.g brake line in the way, not sure if I explained it right) :y:

     

    That's the dream build - box Lancia Delta Intergrale guards, AWD GT4 setup, 3SGTE pumping out 320KW, stripped out and strengthened completely custom.

    Now to win lotto OR If anyone wants to sponsor me? ;)

     

    If your wondering would this even be possible? and how would it look like? here is a little youtube clip of something very very close to what I would love to achieve:

    Damn can't read the build thread as access to it is denied at my work :(

    lol that's what I thought!!! - I'll take this any day over a FT86

    This is on par with some greatest conversions I've seen (including a v12 Cobra with a giant wing - youtube it)

     

    Freakin awesome

    I think I might be going to bunnings tomorrow, brake line connectors are seized :|

     

    Check this out:

    I would love to build Maxi to race in this series.

     

    EDIT: I don't think any of those cars were built utilising their local hardware stores lol :P

    Air-compressor off, drilled the crap out of the bolt, then pulled the compressor towards me and it snapped off at the head - proves when all else fails get angry.

    The correct powersteering belt is now on (Gates - 4PK925), First belt I've changed on my car myself, it's nice and firm - but not too firm ;)

    What's next - brake lines, horn install, battery tie-down, alarm, horn and swap the steering wheel back to the stock one.

     

    Wish list - coil-overs & complete suspension overhaul.

     

    EDIT - Photo/Vids coming soon.

    Funny enough as soon as I rounded it I thought of you when you rounded the one on the gearbox and the things you tried, I've got a file for tool chest.

    I like the persistence, patience & beer technique :)

     

    The family unit is keeping me really busy, when my baby is asleep for a couple of hours I slip away and do something to the car.

    I haven't done anything with the Astra yet, still broken head gasket, sitting there all sad looking.

     

    But, I did buy a power-steering - non aircon belt for the 4e from Autobahn (I went to supercheap and didn't get any service so I walked out ), the belt didn't fit so I have to go back and get it exchanged.

    Attempted to get the aircon compressor off too - rounded the head of the last bolt holding it on, that it was it for the night.

     

    Here is a updated pic when I flushed the radiator, you can see all the brown coloured rust :/ that came out.

    Hey Phil, what kind of front splitter(? black spoiler thing on the bottom of the front of the car) - is that? where did you get it? (pondering if it would look good or crap on my rolla (EDIT: if it would look as good as yours I mean!))

    Congrats to you and your wife Tom!

    Thank you Luke and Justin :)
