yeah dale doesnt do anything except fabricate stuff for stagea people. isnt that his fulltime job??

[Daleo]

alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

Good idea. I hear Dale's doing nothing these days anyway...

Lol, I'm a freaking bludger; all I do is sleep & whinge...

We can have a look on Saturday mate, we just need to find how much room is needed from the back of the aperture.

Might be able to knock up a trial & see what works.

Lol, AND I've been working for my Ceramic Coating mate in his workshop doing some performance fabrication; currently stuffing a 4AGE Turbo into a KE10 Corolla, and just about to start a 20 valve into a Sunbeam Alpine...

No shit?

Cool.

[Daleo]

The Corolla is nearly finished; most of what I've been doing is modifying pipework to run a full plumb back blowoff valve setup (engineering requirement), and mounting an airbox under the passengers side front guard; as there's no room in the engine bay for anything at all.

Some pics of the KE10;

[PN-Mad]

Lol, tonnes of room to the brake master. Hope the engine mounts are stiff!

Would be fun. What's the chassis like in those, stiff or soggy?

Yeah, I know; I wasn't involved at that stage, but it has very stiff engine mounts, they're based on a 4WD leaf spring shackle bush in a custom mount.

The front has been modified from a transverse leaf spring , to coilover struts with big brakes, and BIG swaybars front & rear; but I don't plan to go anywhere near it when it's finished.

It's going to be deadly.

Nice.

I fit a 1J into a T18 Corrolla for a mate a couple of months ago. No engineers cert required for that over here apparently. lol.

The T18 was a pretty ordinary handling car from the get go; must be a bit of work to make one go 'round a corner with a 1J...

I do like the way they sound though.

1J's that is...

[scotty nm35]

I did tell him a VQ25det would have been a better choice. I don't think he's interested in corners, drag only.

Required? Or do not want

So less than 24 hours after getting the new wheels on, actually did some impromptu tarmac rallying...

Coming along a suburban street at night, in the dark, doing the posted limit (60), and all of a sudden the car hit a dip and got what felt like pretty serious air - felt like it cleared the second dip, and landed down on an angle, drivers side first. Classic rally style.

Wish there was photographer!

Car looks fine, no obvious damage. Woman and I were ok, I just had a headache from where my head hit the roof pretty hard.

Turned around to see why there wasn't a sign warning of the dip to see there was, but the council hadn't pruned the tree in front of it, and the sign was completely obscured when approaching from the direction I was approaching from. Other direction is fine, both signs are clear and obvious.

Will try to get it up on the hoist next weekend and have a proper look, but it feels and looks fine, so I'm hoping it hasn't done any damage to anything I can't see.

Far out! hope everything is good.

Anyone watching the streams of the LeMans 24hrs? shattered the deltawing got put out early. Never was competitive, but would have been good to watch it go round.

The sideswipe that put delta wing out was interesting. As was Anthony Davidsons back breaking crash. Poor guy.

What stream are you watching Alex?

[PN-Mad]

Ch10 now, was on vipbox this morning.

Different channels - don't know what 10 is, but vipbox had eurosports or something.

[bigkevracer]

Ten have Eurosport. Speed is awesome, but only online when it's not on US TV. They do let you pick in car cams though, and live follow the Corvettes around

[PN-Mad]

Where can I get speed?

[Mr 20Valve]

Speed channel is part of the Foxtel sports package

[bigkevracer]

Nah, Speed US: http://stream.speedtv.com/corvette

[PN-Mad]

Yeah, I don't have fox, and I got over that stream. Seemed to show pits and dashboard, thats about it.
