Twoogle deserves a good sent off. Paul will be back at it shortly once the diff's fixed.. poor bloke worked so hard to get twoogle up and running after the first run.

Was nice to meet Charlie, Luke & Nathan today. They were working on twoogle all day. :P

It was a shame to not be able to see it run yesterday after all the hard work Paul put in to get it running again after the first pass drama. I'm sure if the diff problem was found earlier then that would have been another thing Paul and the guys would have fixed in the true never say die spirit of TWOOGLE :P

The perserverence, patience and effort will pay off soon :D

Good too see you again Johno :rant:

From What i have heard on the grape vine it is not power that is the problem but aparently it has found a whack more torque. Should run a no once sorted :P .

A combination of that and I think it was a very well prepped track yesterday (very sticky). A lot of cars were doing wheel stands and having troubles breaking traction to warm up the tires.

Was nice to meet you yesterday Charlie :D

Was in Sydney last weekend seeing Croyden about a 30/26 engine build and witnessed this car being run on the dyno. I must say this car is absolutely mental!! Paul then took the car out the front to the "private test track" for some 10,000rpm launches. Was the highlight of a very busy weekend and was unfortunate it didn't get down the track on Sunday.

Best of luck with it guys.

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
