The sarcasm came through loud and clear.

Very nice Roy :w00t:

Russ the Extra R32 (lol) and the R33, are they your daily drivers or future projects?

hi Ryan

the 32 is just a labour of love! been slowly doing it up for a couple of years. nearly finished now, new set of wheels for it and change the bonnet to go.

the 33 has been a project we started about three years ago and have had no time to finish, it's a pure race car sports sedan, should go well , it's waiting for some dyno time in the next two weeks and the some testing, trying to bring it to superlap to puton display. it should be fun to drive, monster cams, hks t51, dry sumped , ppg box etc etc!!

Well, as you can see there's a ruddy great hole in the floor where the muffler box will go. The driver's side seat rails have been lowered, the cage is done, the rear firewall is done, some groovy sh*t is happenin where there's normally a dashboard, there's something real funky goin on with the radiator support panel (have you been up late watchin V8 S/C?).

All was going swimmingly until I leaned inside to have a closer look and it fell of the rotiserrie!! :w00t:

Haha, yeh exactly, and of course it didn't actually fall of, but a little pellet came out when it moved....

He hadn't actually started at the front, but I could tell he was thinking about starting because he was quite angry.

I saw the fuel cell, wasn't in at that stage though mate :)

yep, but im debating on how to do it. In another 32 we just bent up some sheet metal to fit over the area. In this one im thinking of removing the complete parcel shelf and then making one from scratch and set it back towards the window more. if i do it this way then i will have to either make new hindges for the boot or just have it removable and i would like to keep the rear wiper.

Just interested to see how other people have done theirs and what it looks like.

Cheers

no drama ross, marlin is alot closer to the car than me.

the r34 rear firewalls are very different to r32 , so the mod thats been done basically makes it look like an r32 to now!!, r34's have quite an amount of tin work around the strut tops and parcel tray. that has all been removed and sealed off & strengthened.

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
