what,not illuminated??

if you feel rich,and need to be,you could get the folks at HPC to heat treat them. cuts upto 40% heat apparently. that or heat wrap.only problem is the steel gets 'cooked' and ruins nice headser over time and looks alittle cheap m

your paying too much for that driveshaft. pm me

so ami going to have to fit a bigger turbo to stay ahead???

Dave and his toys

maybe a cheap one, but are the spark plugs done up? caught myself out on that one

argon shield is mostly used for welding(mig). we have used CO2 yrs ago but the welds where so hard.not good when i had to grind off afew mistakes i made lol

correct,m10 and m30 headbolts are the same items,just a few less

think thats self explanatory, as the compression ratio dictates boost level. if we play it safe

Up to 10psi == Stock HG 7 - 14psi == Stock HG + ARP studs 11 - 20psi == Stock HG + cutting rings + ARP studs 14 - 25psi == MLS + surface prep + ARP studs 20 - 30psi == copper + cutting rings + ARP studs this is the sort of rule the guys in the US work on. saying that, i ran 15psi with new head bolts and a mls from gaskets unlimited,no dramas. really depends on how much security you want of it not poping and how long your planning to keep it cheers m

got a couple,$80

perfect motor for a go-cart of sum sort.....

if i wanted to have half a forest of plastic wood trim in my car, think a mitsi diamantie would suffice.not a fan of that dash lay out

not 100% correct on that one,have wrecked several 535,730,735 with large units. also done a couple(535,735) of cars with medium cases

looks in good condition good base for a FI race car

just heard a fib,not sure. that the earth works outfit working on hampton downs has hauled away the machines cause $$'s are drying up. anyone heard otherwise? m

dont know mate, my makita wasnt cheap good thing bout it, if it aint low enough,cut sum more off.too low,buy sum more springs

makita do sum great springs.

another way, or cheaper i think is the good blokes at 'gaskets unlimited' used them on the first turbo project.and have a new unit to go on the current. he/they copied the OEM gasket and fitted prefectly good advice and a sharp price. cheers marty

change the steering box,save 8+ kg

Hi folks, to finnish the interior in the new project i'm needing a drivers door card. it will need to be a late model one,with wood trim. prefered colour is the light grey leather. doesnt need to be tidy,as i can transfere the skin and trim from mine onto yours. just as long as the the board/backing is straight. cheers marty

looks cool mate.shame the hot bit cant fit to sit straight,guess we cant win them all

go get it. that would have to be the tidies FI setup i've seen,bar mine,ofcourse

so were keeping the the 520 then???

awesome post. just imagine if we had a few ants to design auckland's motorways and rail etc a whole lot less issues
