just thought i would post the link to the thread of my car on here and also start a new thread regarding my car and mike's car seeing as though they are going do be drag orientated and its just easier for me to keep track of and update the one thread instead of 2 (im lazy😂). more pics will be up soon, in the mean time, heres a few pics of mine on the link below http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=77435&page=1#pid722996

Hi Adam, On the oil thermostatand and cooler topic, The series 4 or 5 rx7s and cosmo mazdas have very good coolers with an 80' thermostat built in.
These are about $80 second hand.

2 sizes are rx7 600mm x 120mm x 50mm

and a cosmo 350mm x 250mm x 50mm

I've tryed taking out the thermostat years a go just to see the difference. It took about 1/4 hr of driving to reach 80'. So it went back in!

Adding a cooler means more oil to bring to temp, especially when the cooler is up the front. Now i will allways try and use one these mazda ones for a streeter if needed.

Like the look of those hubs, Adam, and that cordless hammer looks the goods too.😂

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

hey, mine is 4 inch narrow, not sure how much they are these days, last time i checked they were between 700-900.....bought mine from someone here who no longer needed it, u know the story, project that never got started.... i know rod penrose has one for sale... stock width, but they are pretty easy to narrow.... they have pressed on ends, not welded...
