Yeah Addo it will be a problem with the two gaskets at such high comp, maybe you could try a different rod and piston combo to  get less comp but it would be slightly less stroke? failing that you could send the head to me in Darwin and i could find you another good head

mines about 3/4 out to but it shows 3/4 when you sitting on the side of the road looking really stupid

So its either put a stop on the go pedal or modify the tunnel.  Cool
Thanks for the info

anyone know if the old celica boxes fit into the fe fcs without to much needing to be taken out of the tunnel??? I have a habit of breaking things and the old crash box was hard to find last time it went (incidently when the wife was driving it )

Maybe but don't know it had new brakes when i got it although one slave was leaking, ps it was in darwin a few years ago don't know bloo?

Hi guys and gals i need to know a fair price for a grey motor, it runs but need rebuilding???

My FC at a mates wedding.
See if you can spot the fishing rod in the back seat
Ps do you know you can even get fined for having a wedding car on the grass in a public area!!!!!
Lucky for us the council doesn't work on weekends

Just took it to mvr and regoed it they didn't ask about ant mods, they have the engine number so i guess they know its a red motor.
But saying that ive had:
2.8 litre hilux regoed as a 2.4
S3 landrover went over the pits 3 time with a diferent body each time(wagon, Soft top and ute)
Wifes VH had 5 litre sticker on the air cleaner so that was a 308 instead of 253?

i dont think thay have much of an idea. also a mates V8 landcruiser still has drums on the front?

You must have got the MVR guy on the wrong day, I,ve got all sorts of stuff over the pits and they dont even care, If your in darwin take it to C&H autoline and i think it wayne he will look after you!

I have a whole car that lost an argument on a roundabout everything is good except the left hand side, I need the suspension and running gear but everything else is going dirt cheep!
Backloading is fairly cheep from Darwin or if you buy in the next week or two my father in law is driving his truck from Darwin to Vic with extra room. Or wait until i go to the summernats i could possibly deliver close to ACT or VIC

Seen the front left light but no show yet had the top fuel and bikes, Maybe the wife might like a FC doorslamer for aniversary.....Hmmmmmm

Nice, love the van. stands are simple but very effective, I like. Thanks muchly

Russ
Ps keep an eye out for the Vt front end and rear IRS conversion A few more days and my donor car will be here Yayyyyyyyyyyy

Turn the car upside down   Ive seen it done with a chev. Two big wheels that bolt on the front and back so you can just roll it sideways. I thought someone here would have done one, you must all enjoy sliding under a car to weld and grind??? sicko's

thanks, definatly food for thought

Is there much to starting/running a club and is there more good than bad points to starting one?

thanks all

Anyone got plans for a Rotisserie that would fit the FC???

a little of topic but in the construction industry it seem steel goes up 10% about every six months, its hard to keep up with

I'll be making my own soon to fit all VT suspension and stearing + V8. I'll take some pics.

PS Lional West (Rods right hand man) has gone out on his own now.

No Carpet? my floors abit to far gone to go carpet free. i've got another FC on the way so i'll check it when it gets here. Ta everyone

I think i may have the wrong plate, apon closer inspection it is different to the other three and does'nt fit that well. here is a photo any way.
