Yep, I've been quietly working away on rebirthing (in a legal sense) a 74 2+2 which I am doing in a JDM'ish style. White, black hood and trim, full black leather interior and hopefully Turbo L26...maybe! I'll post some pics soon. Rev

Hey guys thought I would put it out there if anyone has items extra to their needs. Need new or good condition front spoiler, set of ZG flares, rear BRE type spoiler, and would consider any mags that are 15 or 16 inch, Electronic Dizzy...I know it's a big ask but before I go lining the pockets of EBAY sellers I thought I would ask here first. Rev.

Hey andrew, great stuff! how long did they take to get after you ordered? Rev.

I've said it before but will say it again, diversity of character and personality is one of the most awesome traits of humanity however as this post has bought to light, perhaps one of the hardest to accept in others! I haven't always agreed with the way Lurch may have articulated himself in some responces but have I have always respected his knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile in helping someone out, absolutely! I was one (think I still am!) of the New Guys who got real stuck on some of my rebuild and 'done over' by some of the more 'knowledgable' guys in the industry and it was Lurch who willingly sacrificed his time to help me out (on more than one occasion) Let me finish by saying everyone has a viewpoint but it is exactly that... a view from a point! diversity...it's a sweet and sour thing! Rev.

You're not going all religious on us are you Maddos? Boys the forum exists and is diverse, diversity doesn't suit everyone and one's attempt at humor may not be valued by another...welcome to the real world, at least we have a friendly forum to discuss it rather than send our offenses via a 105mm Howitzer...My point is...let's keep some perpective!

Great Job Mick, it's looking awesome, sorry I didn't catch up last week I'll try and come around early next week, I'll give you a call. Rev.

it's O.K bro...we'll look after your identity!

I just 'upped' my cover with Shannons to include recent work that I have done, they asked for photos for verification and then increased my cover to 15K no problem. Also as a side note my wife recently had a bingle in our other car (the super delica!) and Shannons had it sorted very quick and were very obliging. Rev.

Hi Guys, thought I'd get in early wishing everyone a happy and zed filled New year... Rev.

Hey Modular 9, I use my Zed as a daily running triple Miki's and I have no problem. I experienced some real bumper to bumper a couple of weeks ago and they ran fine, I have better idle than I did with my SU's. Rev.

Have a great Christmas with your families, enjoy the opportunities that we have living in a great country like this in 2009 and spend a moment on Christmas day to think about God's greatest gift to the world which was his Son Jesus, who grew from that baby in a manger to the savior of the world, to bring hope to the hopeless and eternal life to all who put their trust in him. I think I should get at least one sermon a year, so this is it! May the Lord bless you and Keep you this holiday season. Reverend Zed

Hi Guys, I'm on the look out for a rear 'lip' spoiler BRE style, if anyone has one that's collecting dust, i've got the cash! Rev.

Those speaker mounts will be awesome! this is what I did with my console http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,3054.0.html Rev

Well done mate...keep at it.

Sorry guys but as I said in my post I haven't been able to resolve this noise in the back wheel yet....I'm still trying.

will do Bruce however it won't be until around Feb. Rev.

yeah Glen, a bit dissapointed more in the integrity of the guy than performance. When I mentioned 5500rpm it was more that's about where we had to throttle off because of the area we were driving, it still had plenty more to go in the RPM range which is great. It's a little 'doughy' down low due to the cam but as soon as that baby hits 3-3500 RPM there's no holding her back! Good luck with your engine build I'm sure it's going to be great.

Thanks pauly, for giving me a brake!

Now that's one thing I didn't check! I jacked it up, put it in neutral, handbrake off to spin the rear wheel and it seemed to bind a little on certain parts its rotation? brakes binding, handbrake, wheel bearing..........? I'm going to check my nuts now...the ones on the car!

Just come home from a drive and I've got some binding noise in the passenger rear wheel when turning to the right....any suggestions? need to find out what this is before tackling the spur!

Looking at the possible contenders i'm not sure that I will keep up but I should probably be there, let me know details. Rev.

Thanks Lurch, I just changed my undies, had a cup of tea and realised that if it's still pulling strong after 5500rpm it certainly has enough to keep me entertained. Pretty awesome how through a club like ours we can help one another out, I appreciate it Lurch.

I guess what I'm trying to fathom is why the Engine Builder wouldn't highlight any percieved problems e.g F54/N42 combo before the engine was done, my thoughts are that they figured I'd never find out! WRONG!!! :-\

I'll talk to you about it tomorrow!

OK I need some help! Just discovered that the guys who rebuilt my motor didn't put flat top pistons in it, the whole thing is turning into a @!%$&%$# fight! The guy is trying to tell me that it isn't possible to put flat tops in an L28 that it would 'blow the head off' (however we know that's not true) but he failed to tell me of this 'problem' when I gave him the rundown on what I wanted. (1) can anyone tell me if any of the L28's came standard with Flat tops? (2) Does the head combination make a difference as to whether you can run flat top pistons? (3) does anyone have a remedy for my HUGE disappointment? I told the guy that I'd probably only get one go at doing the motor (cash flow!) and now I've been dudded, think I might just sell the whole thing! I feel like I can't get a win at the moment! anyhow if anyone can help with the first 2 points I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Rev.
