I'm really looking forward to the Hicas removal solution. Even with a lock bar, I experienced the rear end 'float' at different speeds. Just feels unstable. There's just no way that you can lock something that has a universal joint as a mounting point.

Haha good call

Funny enough though i brought back an rb30 in the "boot" of it from the last deca. Wasnt much space left though with all the other crap we picked up along the way. There is literally no backseat left, not that it had much to start with

you are a wildman stevie. very lucky you didn't have to hit the brakes ever. RB30 flying through your cabin towards your head my leave a bit of a lasting impression!

That's true.

At the beginning of the year at 5am in my work van I was travelling along the M4 to discover a car sitting stationary in the middle lane that had been in an accident and as I hit the brakes (locked up the tyres) a 10kg box of books the size of a VCR box flew from the very back of my van, bent/broke my trolley and bent the cargo barrier and that was braking from 100->50km/h with my dodgy brakes.

Good times :blink:

Apparently in a high speed crash a box of tissues can kill you... nasty way to go, decapitated by tissues.

RE the swaybar, thanks for the offer Steve, and Mark and Duncan, but he's tracked one down locally as he wants to fit it before DECA on the weekend. :blink:

Anyone heading from Melbourne to Sydney in the near future who wouldn't mind strapping a bonnet to their roof? It doesn't weigh much, but somehow I think Auspost is going to charge on size not weight. Also have a fibreglass bumper which needs to go if anyone is feeling extra generous. I'd be mighty thankful and would be happy to pony up some tools as way of thanks.

Im looking at a car whilst in Shepp this weekend, its in parts. If i buy it ill have to go back a few days later (or even a fortnight) and bring it home. Ill let you know what happens

Question.....

Does anyone know whats happening at oran park on the 30th of this month.. Sunday? i've herd an open/free day for go karts around the whole circuit?

i think i am going to need the biggest sprocket i can find..

yeah Brad mid (to late) Dec would be perfect. We sealed the motor last night (old mate of yours, Mike did it for us). should be right to put it back in this weekend or next depending on when I have to work. what event do you have in mind?

Steve....if you need to use a trailer and can bring our stuff back I think we can sort something out :P

Good thinking, yes i will need a trailer.....ill call you after the inspection and tell you the good/bad news and we can go from there

More importantly though, i need somewhere to leave it for a while

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
