I agree with OB, unless your car is lifted why would you make your own when a bought one is gonna end up cheaper? I know the satisfaction of a job well done

Having something like this before the throttle body and plenum is pointless to start with, a half closed throttle and an intake plenum is gonna mess up any vortex before it gets to the combustion chamber anyway. Not entirely accurate. Air will flow through a restriction and speed up as it goes thro...

Well of course, the whole thing is a wank....... but why'd they write that in their add? I suppose by saying its a customer testimonal, gets them off the hook? You can suppose that if you want, to me it seems as though they have just put it in hoping idiots believe it. Those mob just depend on igno...

they say up to 7hp gain, i'm not sure how you can dependably measure that anyway, that much variation can occur by dynoing at different times. Theoretically the increase in hp would come from the veins creating a vortex in the air flow, as I said it looks like a hyclone except it spins where the hy...

Thats a mechanical supercharger If you are refering to this product Subaru Supercharger Turbo for Impreza Liberty Forrester its even worse than i thought. It doesnt even have a motor, its just some blades that freespin. This seller should be prosecuted for fraud!!! That's a hard call to make. The a...

I think you should stick to your guns, if your parents aren't happy then they need a reality check. Your a grown man who is getting married, its YOUR day not theirs. I don't think there is an easy way to invite people to the wedding service but not to the reception. My take on that would be only inv...

Go for it then.

I'm not dissing you. It all comes down to perceptions I suppose, having been one for 20 I just figure even with trade discounts on parts its cheaper to buy a "better" car than what I have seen up here.

Check out the Yellow pages (website or book) and look up industrial rubber supplies or something like that. Companies listed in that should be able to help you get the raw rubber product. Your problem will be curing the rubber, from memory you need to heat it for a lengthy period and the fumes from ...

Your a gamer man than I. A couple I have looked at around here are death traps. Brakes to the floor, g/stick coming out in your hand, g/box locking up going in reverse, body's with more rust than Uluru, cv's seized. steering only working in one direction etc. I'm a rego examiner and have seen some i...

- 1990 Lewis 18ft ski boat - 400 Chev with twin 500 cfm Holleys and external pipes(a bastard to ski behind as you are overwhelmed by fumes - putting the pipes through the hull and under the water!!). Good for 50 knots(about 110kph) and only 37 hours on the boat So your gonna modify the exhaust so y...

This thread inspired me to get a brumby.... I pick it up this Wednesday!! (though I have to drive 12 hrs to Tamworth) and it is not a very clean example of a Brumby. But I know my way round a car so I should be right. That's just crazy, I know of at least 5 Brumbies for sale around Newcastle which ...

Great job on Sunnie.

Thanks for the build up progress, alot of what you are doing is similar to what I want to do when I can find a suitable vehicle.

To get fitter and healthier (there is a difference), to loose about 5 kilo, to get as much of the mortgage paid of as possible, move to Queensland, get a brumby.

Here's a place in Australia that does them... http://www.marks4wd.com/products/tyre_match_box/speedo-correction.html I can personally vouch for these from MarksAdaptors. I have one on my car. To fit it you simply remove the speedo cable from the G/box fit the adjuster box to the G/box and then refi...

Some HiPo cars in the USA us chains to hold the engines in place, others use engine plates that bold on the front or back (depending on what one you use) of the engine to solidly mount the engine in place. Others use rebuildable engine mounts with a bolt that goes right through to limit how far the ...

I read it to, just awestruck with what you've done to your brumby to post anything.

Ditto to all of that, take care and stay safe.

Onya AP, same to you, have a good one.
