The old days have truly gone. Where is the talk about double pumpers, Mallory twin point dizzys, double hump fuellys, Roller rockers etc etc.

The conversations on the weekend went along the lines of. Yeah its fully sic with an A4RT1 hooked up to an RG437T overriding a series 2 phase inhibited L61J With twin over head shaved XV67s mounted to a straight through maxed out B42 pushin XR53s @ 12000rpm on 57lb boost. Its just riciulous when the OLS kicks in at half boost and then pulls strong right through to max where the 451GRX! limits the blowback through the cardio mac 2 gizmo.

WTF

Listening to a high performance conversation these days is like eating alphabet soup. How bout a thesaurus for old farts. Post up the letters safc11 for eg and tell us what it stands for. :(

Im with ya on this one Dingo, I'm learning as I go too. :(

The first car I did up was an HQ Holden

I built a full ported, balanced 186 bored out and stroked with a yella terra head, roller rockers twin point dizzy, triple delorto carbs ( Spelling ) etc. Then removed this engine a dropped it into an LJ 2 Door Torana it was absolutely insane. I went thru alot of M21 Gearboxes and Banjo Diffs with that engine. Could never afford a top loader and 9'inch Diff when on $215 a week apprentice wages back in 1989.

Ahhh to be young and stupid again :(

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
