Now that's something I never expected I'd hear from you Dave.... obviously moving has taken a toll !!!
😉
Is the OE one a paper gasket ??? Always thought that was a no-no with forced induction, and that most ppl went with copper or o'rings... or am I confused ???

some unfortunate news, because of my height from arse to shoulder there seems to be an impossible chance of finding a bucket seat that i fit in, for harness holes, velo make one that JUST fits, but because its a full head restraint all bells & whistles type, dont think it would fit without hitting the window/pillar, not to mention making entry/exit near impossible 😢
only thing i havent looked at yet thats realtively decent is OMP, velo & sparco are no good, that said, boss lady fits in them quite nicely 😍

you just need two normal seats for the street and a driver side race seat only for when you hit the track.
😂🤪😂🤪😂
car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
I run a cobra Suzuka. Mine is the GT width from when i was 40kg heavier so the standard will fit easier. I also have a long torso and found this to be the best option for me. But in the endI have used (in other cars) Racetech, Sparco (various models), Cobra and found the racetech to be the best for comfort, even though when you try it on in teh shops you think its to short once you strap in tight it all works. Plus it was what I was in during a 130km/hr head on hit into a 1m concrete post.....
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
believe me drew the stories of the various things you have hit, or been passenger during hitting i should say havent left my mind, just hope i dont do that myself 😂

canton oil filter relocation block, fixes that problem, pics soon maybe
ooh, and.... some high strength axles to replace the broom handle that was previously residing in that location 😀 😀 😀 ...dunno about you but i dont think they are rated for any hp application, people power though they seem to handle 😂

fingers crossed this actually works before bluscreen of death comes again....
soo who likes crazy wheel sizes?
18x9.5 +18s
fronts above, rear below
those guards are missing the outer lip, so add about 1inch to the outside & down a lil more, crazy sizes, oh the floorpan is 110mm from the ground, suspension bottomed out, no bump stops
fronts could be dropped about 60mm further, crazy hey?

oh yeah that's the shizzzzzz I like it.... a lot!!!
Reversed gears for Subaru transmissions.
Fit a Subaru 5 speed to your rear engined car
www.subarugears.com fronts look good, rears look a bit lost in there, I guess it will be better with the proper guards?
agree, front looks good - just watch out for those gutters! How heavy will the steering be?
Yum stuff Davo 👍
Keep the ball rolling! I have seen that red Porsche 'thingo' with the very much ferrari/mr2 style 'dip' with engine cover down at the gold coast the last couple of visits, looks a bit of fun!
I bet those wheels weren't cheap 😏
(ô_!_/ô) (ô_!_/ô)
69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 👍
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!
in short, ridiculous thats why its only a borrowed wheel, needed spring compressors from a mate to do mustards, grabbed a wheel while i was at it, he wrote his car off on track so its currently being rebuilt, with a new shell obviously, true about the rears, car has to go up more, lower offset and or wider and have the real guards on, but i dont wanna cut them to suit the other stuff yet, DB these guards have been worth their weight in gold! ...perhaps more since they are rather light
funny how the tyre stretch matches the bend of the sway bar tho hey? - totally unintentional
