Interesting - though I don't know I want to do it myself

its easy mate. electric spray gun from bunnings for 50 bucks. thinners a mixxing stick and a mixxing jug. about 5-6 coats should be enough...

infact i dont even think you need thinners.

It's more the crappy conditions I have - carport with a dirt floor

It's more the crappy conditions I have - carport with a dirt floor

get an old blanket, roll car on it. paint wheels on the car. just spend time prepping. its realllly easy man. and the guns they sell are pretty good. dont throw paint everytwhere.

well. for one though, i have nfi how much it is to just freight car over to tassie. Would be heaps easier to freight car over, fly over, collect car, drive around, freight car back, and then fly back. Sure you'll be left with no car for awhile, but really, launceston and hobart are pretty small. Walkable if you ask me.

Though. Due to time constraints, wasn't able to sample some hervey bay scallops and lobsters. =(

it is

255 for a 9, 295 for a 10.

you can go less, tyres have a few different sized wheels they can fit, to be legal the load rating must be correct. But as I said you can put a 225 on a 9" legally

Put a Do Luck kit on it and leave the suspension stock too.

LOL!!!

make sure it's got heaps of power too so it's a really dangerous car to drive

235 on a 9 is usually a stretch, but perfectly drivable and legal. A 245 is a very slight stretch; 255 is a flat wall; 265 a very slight bubble. But it changes from tyre to tyre too, as I have seen some 235 that appear as wide as 255 and vice versa.

You really gotta look at the tyre manufacturer's website to see what range they recommend putting their tyre sizes on.

Iv got 265's on 10.5inch wheels, very little stretch. But as you said depending on manufacturer as advan 265 ad08 appear much wider than the khumo 265 I replaced, the profile appears different too even tho dimensions are identical.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
