Advice: Good bloody oil pump, and fit an oil cooler :thumbup1: just over 2l of oil doesnt take long to get too hot. Was planning on leaving room for oil cooler, or considering using civic radiator from an auto with trans oil cooler built in. Yes, i know the oil will heat up quicker but thats not al...

A GT2026 is about bang on for a built 1L, or a streetable 1.3. On a 660 it would come on late and hard, so the motor will need to be high revving, and coupled with a bulletproof box. I can imagine 20 pound plus coming on at about 5000RPM will lead to many stripped teeth! (not before a lot of torque...

Hey all, figured i'd better start thinking about building this F6A twin cam that i've had for a while now. (Damn 4x4's are fun but steal so much time any money from you) OK, Specs So Far: Pistons - Forged JE units from here about 10-12 months back Rods - Thinking about billet steel rods made on the ...

Cruiser is still hogging most of the attention but i'm still slowly gathering parts for the MB.

How thick are these units?
Will they suffice at a plate for a turbo manifold?

Edit: haha! just re read the title... how thick are they anyway?

I've seen a sierra 1300 with an AMR300 in a magazine, 4WD Action/custom if my memory serves. I was sitting there wondering how the lobes weren't melting while on a 1300...

Yep...

Hey mate, you still got the driveshafts, struts, springs and shocks?
Which car are they out of... CA/CC72v? or a HA/HB shape?
Can anyone confirm that they'll fit (without too much trouble) in the MB
FYI: F6A engine/gearbox will be fitted, hense looking for custom driveshafts,

Going from F5A to F8B is friggin' awesome! You get sooo much more torque and power from the 800cc. When i first read about the 800 conversion adding like 10-15kw i didnt think it would really feel like much but damn, i was wrong. Cant imagine going back to the F5A now... An F5A with an auto is fun w...

At the moment I'm playing auto sparky building busses... Not bad, bit different from selling 4x4 accessories. haha!

I'd be betting it's the lose piece in the top of the carbie... mine was lose when i first did my F8B conversion and it would overfuel and die if i was revving under about 1/2 - full throttle... Pain in the ass... i spoke to recarb at kawana about fixing it and they wanted some stupid amount of cash....

Woot!
Looks great Brayden, awesome job.
Gots to go and looksies at the rest now. lol

Nothing really happened down here at wurtulla... just rain. haha!

just tell em your power to weight ratio and let them work it out We're talking about powercruise entrants and spectators here.... Don't make them think, it's scary enough with them just being there with their taxi spec XD's and VB's... "HEY MA, I CAN SEE OUR CARAVAN FROM THIS HERE HILL" :...
