It took 14 months of hard work to build this car up to how it sits today. As far as the owner knows it's the only replica example in Australia and the Casino that sponsored the original car wants the replica to sit in their foyer down in Tasmania. It's a truely awesome piece of Australian motorsport history and I felt privileged to able to see it in the steel and shoot it.

      I thought about ditching it but I was worried my bonnet would sound like a 90's Swift GTi sub-filled boot.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By silviaz · Posted

      Have you found that you have to tighten your alternator belt once in a while? Mine has started to squeal again after the mechanic tightened it roughly a year ago and the engine starts up slow if I don't start it every day (think the starter motor is going out). It used to be if I don't drive it once a week I'd get a quick squeal on the belt but now it's every day or every other day. I might make a post of the start up sound.

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      By PranK · Posted

      I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!

      Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.

      I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
