My cock envy gauge is going ballistic

you now have monies to buy a hooker to fix that.

I've put a resnobly light flywheel/clutch combo on, exedy hyper singe. weighs 12.5kg vs the std 18kg. I didn't get a clutch or flywheel with the car, so it ended up costing me only slighly more to get a good new one instead of hunting a flywheel down, and getting a sports clutch.

the rev limiter will be just past when the hydro lifters are going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

it's all well and good to have big hp. but at the end of the day, we are still stuck on 8" rims, and you can only put so much power to the ground through them.

who wants to do a group buy on tien tp's?

loving this more and more. going out to get some crinkle paint. right. now.

[sav man]

seat rails 2.0, I had to cut the rails out and redesign them. Seat is now low and far back.

still have to redo the front bar.

crinkle finish can also be achieved by popping the painted item in teh oven.

More pictures bitches !!!

Progress has slowed due to me being a lazy bugger and ben taking all week to change the seat rails.

im currently on wires and their not overly photogenic but i will have some cool things done by the end of the weekend one hopes.

oh and its bens birthday today. he turned 14.

[sav man]

looks like the sau pics are dead atm. But I got the front rail finished, Damo pissed the neighers off by grinding after dark, so it restricted what i could do after work. But i'm happy with how it's ended up, I had to cut a section out of the floor, and weld a new reshaped bit in to get the seat to sit abit lower.

I also have a family friend who is a panel beater, who cut the rust out of the rear wheel arches (under the pods/water catchers)

using a lincon 170a mig. it's dad's and he loves gas-less wire, so it sprays shit everywhere. but and the end of the day it only has to be strong, and it is.

I wish i new how to tig (or mig neatly ), and had a tig to weld with, cause thin panels with a mig are a bitch.

My dad's got a pretty rad welder that can do just about anything, stainless, alloy etc. It a big industrial one (about a metre tall) he bought from a shipbuilder that went bust.

Ive never used it though cos i was a shit welder in high school.

It can do the most delicate of welds right through to to fattest bits of BHP's finest

[TiTAN]

probably a tig welder, i have seen one weld aluminium foil.

Reckon it could weld ya rib back together cock?

[Rowdy]

yeah i've heard the gasless mig's are pretty cacky. who wants to pay the leasing fee for a bottle of argon? but you can get disposable bottles cheap as, so im tossing up wether to get a tig or a mig now. atm ive only got a 170amp cig transarc... pretty good, but not really great for the car.

welding al foil, thats mad.

anywho...

[sav man]

dumb thing is that dad has an argon bottle, he just hates hooking it up, and he didn't want me to swap the wire out. But still holds at the end of the day, just sprays like a mofo, which isn't fun when your under the car, and molton metal is raining on you.
