what size tyres are you trying to fit under the guard as 225/50r15 fit very easily without the guard being rolled
im running the same size tyre and trying to set up a mono leaf airbag set up at the moment and i can lower it over 3" before they scrub
327  Technical Board / Modification Help / Re: mini tubs on: May 21, 2012, 08:47:17 PM
ive done it 2 different ways before

cut down the middle of the arch and across the bottom, move it out and add a section into the arch as per width extend, so as inside the car it looks stock only 1-2" wider

cut on the edge of inner panel and across the bottom, give it to a shetty and get them to roll some 3/16 steel to the same curve and size but install a straight panel on the end so as its not increasing the width only allowing the tyre to fit inside better

331  Technical Board / Restoration Help / Re: king pins on: May 05, 2012, 10:07:18 PM
i just used the rare spares change over one's
just make sure if you do, you measure them as when i went to get them i had 1 +0.01" and 1 0.02"
so i waited and got 2 0.01
332  For Sale and Wanted / Cars Wanted / Re: Wanted: FC sedan on: May 05, 2012, 10:01:38 PM
all i can say is look into what ever you decied to buy, as you can rebuild a rusted out shell for 20+ and only have car worth 1/2 that,
in vic they seem to go for 8-25k depending on condition,
i brought my mid/late last year (spent 3 years dreaming and close to 4 years looking) semi rest free, fc for 13.5 and have sense spend close to 2 to make it safe to drive, and mine is near stock
but i have seen close to or rwc one's go for 8-10,

parts are getting more expensive and harder to find, so if i were u idd do the sums, and happy hunting
 
333  Technical Board / Modification Help / Re: LS1 Motor into FE on: May 04, 2012, 11:12:18 PM
there are a few other options
if its a daily
lexis 4ltr (200kw but can hit 300 very easily)
rover 3.5-4ltr (not for me)
304 injection and heads on 253

unless your happy with a 6, and the options are endless there

if its not a daily
club reg/hotrod reg (unrestricted up to 460ci) able to be driven 90day a year(nilly 2 days a week)

ICV
cost a bit more (used for kit cars) but you can fit an ls1 on a daily this way

or rebody another car with your shell as a transplant
334  Technical Board / Modification Help / Re: Air con ideas? on: May 04, 2012, 07:47:19 PM
ive seen them fitted under the front seat, (not in an fc through)
335  Technical Board / Modification Help / Re: LS1 Motor into FE on: May 04, 2012, 07:36:52 PM
Ive spoken to a locally approved engineer/vehicle inspector, and Im only allowed 5 times the weight of the FE Special Sedan as manufactured, which weighed 1080 kg for engine capacity, which works out to 5400cc, or 5.4 litre - damn there goes the 5.7 litre ls-1 motor.

This basically only leaves me with the 304 holden efi motor to go for unless anyone knows a way I could get the ls-1 motor transplant approves here in W.A.

I will have to look out for a donor car for the transplant

What are the best models to use, and who is the best to buy conversion gear through?

Cheers

Faedy

what state are you in
in vic when i spoke to a few its 4x weight,
thats why im lookn at a hq rail transplant or comodore floor graft same fevanv6, as im looking at ls6 or ls7
336  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: Electronic ignition on: April 30, 2012, 10:14:58 PM
i did mine in car, there's no need to remove dizzy, took about 45min,
just make sure you fit a fuse and resisted relay to the coil and youll be fine

i also usea a bosch gt40,
rest of motor is stock and it runs like a dream

339  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: Stupid lock nuts on: April 20, 2012, 08:22:50 PM
im still recommending the pin sockets,
thats what all the thieves use, grips onto any size nut, and lock, even workes on SHCS,
ive even proved it to work on anti theft spotlight nut
340  Technical Board / General Technical / Re: Stupid lock nuts on: April 19, 2012, 11:07:56 PM
at most tool shops they sell a muilty fit socket, its a socket full of pins,
