The Cool Tools Thread


Duncan

Recommended Posts

Okay so I am planning to get myself a tool chest. Have been looking at Kincrome and the likes..

Found out that TengTools has a cool option to build your own chest. Guys at VEK also said they would bundle up an air compressor with rattle gun, etc.

Q. Any feedback regarding TengTools? I dont care about brand image - just need to know their durability, etc.

Repco make good quality tools for a sensible price and have life time warranty on them

if you go the repco route dont get there powerbuilt gear (not sure if they still sell it but they still do warranty swaps on it) i go a 500 odd piece powerbuilt double sliding toolbox setup with my tools for the trade about 6 years ago, most of it is all good however the ratchet handles' reverse switch falls out of them as they are poorly designed (they get replaced under warranty but its a pain taking them back and waiting for replacements). also the sockets are very lightly engraved with sizes so after a while its impossible to read. It doesnt effect there use its just an inconvienance

Glad to see this thread back in action :)

I have three Repco chests, get in there this weekend and snag one for 30% off. They seem fairly well built, I haven't got any complaints except that they keep filling up lol

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
