  1. Hoosiers are mounted and looking good
  2. hopefully the next photos will be of the car low and on slicks
  3. quick update It will race in E-Modified I got my wheels painted and they turned out pretty well I also have painted the car with rust killer so it won't get any worse While I was at it I added a rear spoiler (my own design) I'm going slowly so I do things correctly and don't make costly mistakes
  4. Any engine can handle boost. The question is how much and how long. A 4AC has a 9:1 compression ratio (same as the 4AGZE) so it could handle a fair bit of boost say 6-9psi. Any boost must be accompanied by a well tuned engine management or the engine will self destruct. To say an engine can't be boosted is a misleading statement.
  5. new goodies arrived today
  6. put the spoiler where it belongs
  7. damn grass grows fast but that didn't stop me from pulling 60KG from the car US bumpers weigh in at 25kg each I'm also toying with the idea of a roof mounted spoiler since the down force would be right over the axle all told I have removed 85kg from the car
  8. really? 15mm? these springs are from a big V8 dodge and measure 15.9mm thick. the outside dimm is 13.443cm
  9. went to the wreckers and picked up a nice MR2 seat for just $23. I need to shampoo the cover but it looks great compared to what's in the car
  10. what is the diameter of the stock KE30 front spring? I have some springs out of another car and I'd love to use them if the diameter is close enough.
  11. made some progress today I pulled the interior out and started to remove the sound deadening. I found some rust :y: but it's repairable
  12. actually I was planning to use STP
  13. UM anyone notice my location? unfortunately no holdens made it here till 2005
  14. My quest for a dirt cheap race car has come to the point where I modify the stock shocks for much stiffer damping. My question is this are the rear mounts up to handling really stiff shocks? Mod to the shocks will be thicker oil... I'll include photos when I do it
  15. 1950 south african made fiat 500c topolino known as the "town mouse"
  16. Too bad I didn't see this sooner. I'm a big Borgward fan
  17. I know what it is but I'm going to let someone else guess
  18. hint: it's french
  19. next season and perhaps for the GRM $200x challenge
  20. aced out
  21. it's a Brabham Alpha driven by Niki Lauda but the significant thing is the huge fan sucking air from under the car
  22. just one problem....... they never made it to the US :hmm: :P
