No oversized bushes that i can find, would have been simpler ! Anyway it worked out, i couldnt get the bush in as far as i liked but for now it will be ok. The Torana front is good and a nice ride but the issue is the alignment. There is no room to use spacers on the top arms unless you cut holes in...

Well if it doesn't rain it hails !!! Ive been driving around a bit and had the joy of the gearbox spit out fluid, lokar dipstick with 2 orings, sloppy as !! I pulled it out and machined it down to suit the original type seal, hope this is fixed ! Sorry no photos. Whilst i was at it i looked for a sq...

If over 1000kgs in standard trim then, Original mass (kg) x 3.00 = max. capacity in cc. But an engineer can overide it if they have the balls. Greg Yeah , FB sedan is 1120kg, x 3 = 3360cc so my supercharged 202 JJJUUUUUSSSSTTTTTT scrapes in - dunno how you would go with a 3800cc ???? BAT53 was build...

Its a vented oil catch can, the idea is to catch any blowby oil instead of dumping on the track out of the breather.

Yes that would be Mr Barrow, When i starting in group N racing he was one of the guys i used to compete with, his father raced it for many years before that and the family was super friendly and we had lots of fun times. The car for what it is, is very quick and Phil drives the wheels off it. It was...

Yeah, great work Neil. The sills are strange, i had 2 NOS ones and they were slightly different to each other. The theory was the people assembling the bodies would use the best fitting parts for each vehicle and the stockpile at the end is now what we have as NOS. The bodies are all over the shop f...

Nice one Roger, A warm day and a charcoal mask, the paint will cure inside your lungs and never be expelled, be carefull. Prime let dry then smooth with a scuff pad, apply your colour till it flashes off then apply the clear. This is what i have been taught to do. Look forward to the results. Regard...

Hi Brett,

A man of your caliber needs triple webbers, there is no other marriage for an angry six !!

Yes all those cars look awesome, always liked FC's as well.

Not sure if this helps Harv, My race car (lately garage art ) has a pull cable to the ouside of the vehicle to stop the ignition by officials and is mandated by cams. It is the smplest way i could find to do it and it works ok. See photos. It does however need to be reset manually. IMG_2627.JPG IMG_...

Hi Brett,

Job well done.

Greg
