    Am I the only one who?

    That's the feeling I get too. There's no depth - no dish. What's even worse IMO on big wheels - 17 and up, if there is no space in the wheel. If the wheel is very open like torque thrust IIs, they look nice in 17, (especially with some dish) but if the wheel is almost solid, it just makes it...

    h4 headlight conversion

    You can get HID kits that has sockets that plugs relays straight into the headlight socket which powers the ballast for the bulb, and the bulb. All the existing headlight wiring does now is switches those relays. It all just plugs in, if you have H4 headlight sockets already that is, otherwise...

    TCP Strut Rods?

    Sounds like a good sports-oriented build to me, I'd go the extra few hundred and add in the strut-rods for their freer movement and extra dimension of adjustment. While you can adjust castor with the upper arm, you can adjust TWO of castor, wheel position and strut-rod length if you get the...

    TCP Strut Rods?

    If you're after a stock buildup with cruising capabilities then there's no point to getting them really. The ride may be a little better as some binding is removed, but it's probably negligable. If you're after a performance build - they are one of the things than can remove binding, so they...

    TCP Strut Rods?

    If you used their lower control arms as well you can adjust caster a whole lot more as it has a spherical bearing. Their new strut rod design has a nice feature which may not be noticeable, but is technically more correct - it centres the pivot axis in the middle of the mounting point unlike...

    Importing Classics to Oz

    Here's a little hint on the frustration to expect: I have the Australian Design Rules, and for cars BUILT in 1968 and earlier (note this can include some 69s) that basically no rules apply to the car bar the 3-point seat-belts. However because they're Australia-wide design "rules", you'll...

    Importing Classics to Oz

    And you don't have to convert it to RHD. Make sure the car is clean - especially the undercarriage - otherwise customs will clean it (to minimise any plants, etc that might be brought in) and charge you for it.

    A Goat coming to eat your lunch...

    Why not go to the website and look at the pictures of it driving around at some of the shows? I've no doubt that double-blower car goes as hard as the original.

    Upside down Mass Air???????

    If I remember correctly the rotation of the MAF sensor does slightly effect running of the car, because of the natural "path of least resistance" through the intake. Turning the sensor can bring it into and out of more flow as the wires cross through where the intake likes to flow. IMO you...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    I think for the most part those who are applauding him think the engineering far outweighs it looking a little bodgy, so overlook it. Most production-based race cars look like hack jobs in the looks department, when you have a close look at them, compared to a production car, because if it needs...

    I agree here 100% - good thoughts.

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    That someone can do what they want with their own possessions? I do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, as much as I may think someone's tastes are off, if they own it, they can do what they want with it. I guess there's some ifs and buts there, for instance - I don't like movie makers...

    OMG WTF HAPPEND HERE!!!!

    Yours can. What's wrong with someone else doing what they want with their own things? What's even worse is labelling other people's work with derogatory terms, especially when that term is completely wrong.

    Oh yeh no doubt, but with enough motor the gears don't really matter, as long as your tyres aren't TOO good.
