What's wrong with auto?

I thought it was pretty rare to find a Tommy Kaira in Auto which is the only reason I mentioned the transmission type. I wasn't 100% sure if the TK R34 at wakefield was the same as the TK R34 shown in photos.

f**k I'm pissed off now

Down in Sydney at the moment at a pub

Go out front to have a smoke and check the car and find some Kent has egged mine and got one one the car next to it as well

Only good

Thing is I bought a quick detailer kit with me so thanks to the bar staff for the buckets of water and got it washed off

Still pisses me off though that some pricks have no respect

Luckily you washed it off so quickly, egg is very corrosive and eats into the paintwork at a rapid rate.

When a car looks as immaculate as yours, it will attract good (admiration) and bad attention (jealousy). I'd be hesistant to take my car anywhere near a bar/pub, especially on a saturday night in Sydney. People become animals down there once some drugs/alcohol is in their system.

paint code on the one above is AH3 - i assume the number is in the same positon for GTT's

Also a useful link http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html

For supply or to do the job?

Was going to tackle the job myself just need paints

EDIT Just made a thread in the paint section as well

Although now I think about it this a good excuse to do all the stuff I want at the one time

    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
