Thanks Pauly. Rumours get around in this scene faster than if my missus was telling her girlfriends!!

It's true that I am leaving Extreme Magazine to take up a new position and even though it's only a little while away, I just can't wait to get stuck in.

I've been reading this mag forever and I'm wrapped to be a part of it. Tough, turbocharged cars that go hard. Right up my alley!

To think I only just stopped buying it because I got sick of wall to wall rotary powered drag cars.

Maybe it can return to its old eclectic self with the technical content reinstated...........

been reading this magazine for forever. congrats man

i remember the boost controller they made with a knob off an old stereo, air hose from a fish tank and some no.8 fencing wire. It was put together using a ball pein hammer, an allen key from a flat pack kitchen and a tube of silastic.

ahh those were the days.

yeah there was some good shit floatin around. do you reember an article on the blue stanza that was converted to methanol? man that thing was dodge as f*ck, but it ran low 11's from memory, fuel pump was a mechanical item off an ice cream truck with random holden water pump parts crammed in to make it work lol

Awesome news ;) I might start reading Zoom again....What will the new name be?

"Backyard Bob's Best Boosted Bits" i think.

What about the mad electric Supercharger made from the impeller off an old Simpson washing machine hooked up to a Valiant wiper motor fed by 2 dolphin torch batteries with corrugated pool hose piping...those guy's were nuts!

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
