  1. Bingo Steve haha I had good rapport with my ford -- I guess with the Economy these days, it wouldn't be possible Tein coil overs, rings removed, base machined on the rear. Camber kits F&R, Adjustable swaybars Super pro solid centre & turbo sides (post diff tear) But it sat low - thus the strain on the diff
  2. I had my FG sitting on bump stops, this supposedly pre-loaded my IRS, resulting in this occurring .... Luckily warranty covered it for me
  3. Cheers Steve, not many people notice it. Rolled / pumped the rear guards yesterday arvo between quarters in the football. Going to visit Ape Suspension in 2 Friday's to pull some camber out of the front - as its -1.5deg at the moment and I can get away with less
  4. Turbo taxi now with 275/40/R17, I'll roll my guards this week
  5. I got a mate to source them for me as I was away. I'll have to ask him where he got them
  6. Are you talking about grannies or paint ?
  7. On a positive note for the Capri ... Starting doing the engine chassis rails today... Burnt myself on the "up to 600*C" heat gun too haha Old paint job that I did quickly with like 10 grit sandpaper lol --- those lines So I wrinkle painted it - hides most of my laziness with a Lazier paint job today lol ... LED lighting making it look lamington But truth be told, it will just be a sh*tter Capri with a 20k engine setup running 9s for now... And I'm ok with that haha
  8. The airbox -- as you can see the IC piping needs to go through it
  9. Bought a turbo BTR the other day, came with a Coopers converter (a copy of an Allfast More Stall) - I don't know anything about it... Aidan was nice enough to buy it and drop it off this morning I have a spare wagon diff, so I ripped out the axles this morning whilst waiting for my kettle to boil -- piss easy and grabbed a set of those timken 2865 bearings (with spacers) for $25.99 each -- thought they were more??? My mace engineering airbox arrived too - I'll fit it sometime soon -- as I have to modify it to suit FG manifolds in a B series. Picked up 3x Uras wheels today for spares / burnout pair, and some kumho 275/40/17s tomorrow
  10. And $$$ softer tyres ( higher oil content, less silica content) smoke up even better
  11. I have a dirt cheap 245/35/19 ovation tyre, a China brand, 99% tread. Have a mate potentially keen on it (Friday) as part of a wheel swap but if not, I had it at $75 worth in the deal
  12. Go holinger to avoid any of these issues
  13. I've decided to given falken a try on the taxi - I'll let you know how these go
  14. The GF and I caught up with one of my old mates on Friday night, when I went to get drinks he asked her how she met me.... Her reply "chloroform" ... She's the one after that comment haha
  15. Pirelli p corsa zero's are rcomps (bottom left in photo) - track Tyres so that's a good reason they are noisy. Awesome Tyres though
  16. That's awkward, good old assumptions making people look the fool.
  17. Decent r&d done there ... Shame about the lack of width options but hey, gotta use what you can. Hoping that you can get these to fit, may not be easy, but if you pull it off, it should grip like a *beep*. On temps. I couldn't get heat into S7A 27's ... Less grip than shockwave paint on BF panels
