  1. They look fantastic Gav and the quartz ones will give their new owners years of reliable usage.
  2. Richard, I have a few hours under my belt and for the first time last night felt good about my laps. The learning curve is steep which makes it all the more satisfying when you string a few corners together, then a few laps, then the pb's start to drop. This game is unforgiving - it is a simulation and you do need to treat it like you're driving a real car. You'll figure that out after the umpteenth time you spin off and crash... I am yet to race as I'm getting used to everything still. I'll be giving it a go next week. I expect carnage with all the other newbs on track...
  3. 920 looks the goods
  4. I'm not surprised.

    Triple 44 Mikunis

    I don't think he wants the engine as well...
  6. Welcome Matt. You're certainly in the right place to find help and feed your addiction. Subscribe to this topic - http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,2630.0.html Pretty much every Datsun that comes on the market makes its way in there. Which Mazda's have you owned?
  7. Did you end up trying it? As I mentioned last October, my colleague has been pestering me (for ages!) and has finally worn me down. I'm borrowing his wheel/pedals etc today to give it a go before I commit to my own gear.
  8. Hi, I'll take the fuel pump and the kit. I'll pm you. Cheers
  9. I did ask that question and they were confident everything could be sourced. If not, they would clean up the old ones.
  10. I sent my loom in late last year. They said they had done one in the past but couldn't recall if it was early or late. The reassuring thing for me was that they were aware there was a difference and they did ask for my loom to use as a template. They have also assured me they will replace the date tag. All dealings so far point to an understanding and knowledgeable (of customer needs at least) business. There has been an unusually long delay as they needed to source some info and I told them I wasn't in a rush anyway. I've also been told that they have just completed another 240Z harness. I didn't ask what year that was.
  11. Just watched '71. Tense 24 hour period of a soldier caught on the wrong side of the fence in war torn Ireland in 1971. Shot with gritty realism which will make you hold your breath all the way through. 8/10
  12. My loom is currently with them. Should see the new one in a couple of weeks. They will also return the old one. I'll report back once I receive it.
  13. For maximum exposure marketing wise it's always best to include what you do in your business name as succinctly as possible so that a prospective customer has the confidence to click on that link or dial that number. The most important part of your business name in bold: Resto Revival Classic Car & Bike Restoration The above reads extremely well with a natural pause after Resto Revival, much like a title and subtitle of a book. You can use a fancy design for the first part of the name with a more legible follow up of 'Classic Car & Bike Restoration' which almost sounds like an afterthought but it plays an important part of your business name as mentioned above. I mocked up a quick something something for you. In no way am I suggesting my design skills are worthwhile nor am I suggesting you should use it, I just killed a few minutes to show you what I meant and I'm sure you can do better. Finally, I think Retro Revival might be a better option. haha
  14. I like the Resto Revival one. Flows well. Good luck!
  15. This is an interesting read regarding this car. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2015/03/19/kidney-anyone-the-mystery-of-the-first-toyota-2000gt/
  16. Don't forget the bog
  17. You'll have this on the road in no time at this rate.
  18. How bad is it Andy? Photos/description? Can you register the car? I would love to see you get the car on the road and enjoy it for a while before you jump in with a full resto which might take you years and put all sorts of pressure on you and your family. It's not a decision you should make lightly and keep in mind that every 'original' car will have rust in varying degrees and they're still on the road being enjoyed by their owners instead of sitting in the garage...
  19. You don't really need them. Just throw in a couple of long bolts on alternating ends at the top of the block and loop some decent rope around them.
  20. Interesting reading so far. I have nothing to add except to quote this:
  21. Pickup from Hurstville. $90 SOLD
  22. Gav, there is evidence of previous repair - Paul is all over it. The car will go on a jig to get straightened out. It's isolated to the front right but best to check it out and get it straightened properly. Primer:
  23. Wow. You have to wonder if sellers aren't asking enough when they go this quick...
