    Popping in to say Hi!

    Thanks all for the replies, it's good to hear (read) the good humour and spirit that this forum has. The HD forum I frequent seems less friendly and less witty. Maybe it's my imagination, who knows. Stangdreamin' at the moment I'm shooting a .22 Kimber Rimfire, here in Aus it's a little...

    Popping in to say Hi!

    Hi Guys, just been reading through some of the threads I used to start and geepers I used to talk about some crazy stuff lol! I wish I visited here more often but working and getting into other interests (shooting and my Harley) I don't have much time or brainwaves to think about yet something...

    What's been going on?

    Good luck with the weather! I haven't lived in a place with a cyclone SEASON for a few years, it's kinda nice not having that as an almost definite yearly occurance. Our house here is the lowest point in the street, flooded the house once due to insufficient drainage during heavy rain, left...

    What's been going on?

    Thanks for the update StangDreamin', I appreciate it! A lot HAS been going on! Congrats to all with new husbands, wives, and babies! Truth told I forgot I started this thread for about a week lol. It's good to see familiar crew still ruling the roost!

    Woh! All that's been going on? Guess I haven't missed much then lol...

    What's been going on?

    Hi everyone, it's been a long while since I've had anything to do with the forum. My dreams of building my dream 69 sportsroof are on long hold because of other priorities (dreams I've had for longer + saving for house, etc). So what's been going on here? Is Eleanor still haunting the place and...

    Who makes whole new front ends?

    TCP? Or is that too obvious?

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Unless the suspension was absolutely, perfectly designed, (in which case I still have doubts) you will still have either end of the rod connection mis-aligning with its original position. If the centres of the rods aren't aligned perpendicularly to their mounting holes at every point in their...

    want something done in carbon?

    Yeh it only weighed 32lb to start with? That seems light, but if that's what it was, that's what it was. Thanks for the info!

    soooo angry right now

    Where (not knowing you) did your dad get 200 cars to crush for spare money? Your loss sucks though!

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    Wow! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Same block, and I'm planning on TWM with an Accel DFI 7+ controller (plus MS DIS ignition) but you'll be hard pressed to talk ME out of it hehe. At least until the time comes when I've actually got the car, and am building the engine... Maybe in 5...

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    Some more awesome info! I want to build an all aluminium 331 with IR fuel injection and distributorless ignition, etc. (sort of the pinnacle of the Windsor technology evolution) - it's good to get some fairly solid info on the weight differences! What block did you go with? I'm thinking about...

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    Subscribing - interesting testing going on here. Is this to be a drag car or street/strip or road race?

    want something done in carbon?

    Oh cool! I hope it all goes awesome as you can always lose weight. I'm a 69 lover too, so your starting project will be very interesting. (To me) If you could I (and probably others) would like to know what the weights are for the steel hood and what the CF one ends up being.

    Hooker Headers, good/bad/ugly

    Yeh the inner one is the one to have if any - provides the best insulation to the header metal - protects it the most and would provide equal if not better heat transfer reduction. In mild builds I don't think it is really worthwhile money-wise, however if you want nice silvery (or different...

    Hooker Headers, good/bad/ugly

    I agree, if you have headers that flow at the limit when they're uncoated they could "become" a little small when coated because of the higher pressure gas. However if you know the optimal size headers you need when uncoated - you could get coated ones with slightly bigger pipes for an increase...

    Hooker Headers, good/bad/ugly

    Coating is definitely not snake oil, it will slow energy transfer from the exhaust gas to the exhaust material, and thus slow energy loss altogether, resulting in better gas velocity (through less pressure loss from temp decrease). The percentage of difference is around the 10% mark though. I...

    WTF?

    How about putting graphite powder in your oil? Surely this would get ground into the metal surfaces and provide a SDF (Solid dry film) of sorts. Or would it actually create wear - as carbon is hard, and as most shooters seem to be scared of cleaning their barrel because of the carbon scratching...
