I am no expert I am only repeating what I read last night. But I read that removing the thermostat can make the system less efficient as the coolant moves too quickly and doesn't allow proper heat sink.
I guess thats why 3 core radiators are better because the coolant spends longer in the radiator.
I love the shot with the windscreen masked up. I vote to leave it that way....armoured van style
By the way does this mean you'll be using the glass bumpers soon?
Its looking great
is it possible to have some made? some auto glaziers advertise the replacement of side glass. I suspect You would need to retain the attachment for the winder mechanism
none of their cars are replicas and most raced and were sucessful at the highest levels of motorsport. MY fav is the GT40 but you probably already guessed that.
The main difference is the ECUs are different and have different pins in the plug. If you are running an RB then this probably won't make any difference to you.
My trolley jack is playing up. Keeps letting the car down. Sometimes it lets the car down just as quick as I am pumping it up. Any suggestions?
Is it a matter of replacing an O ring??
or putting more fluid in???
Or is it just shot? I hope not, it is only a couple of years old.
They are different. The differences may be subtle but they exist. It might be possible to allow for the differences if you were able to identify them. Can I ask what you are planning?
Hey Steve, be careful, don't bag Bridgestone too much. Don't forget when tyres get to 4 or 5 years old it really does impact their grip. The lack of grip you were experiencing is likely to be the age of the tyres not necessarily the brand.
Last I heard they were $450 but that was a few years back....I did say around $500......give or take %50
There is a place specialising in dash restoration here in Brisbane (southside)
http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au/general_info.htm
Rarespares also used to assist with this type of service (obviously they don't do it themselves).
I know I sound vague because I haven't looked into it for a few years.
Steve,
Check the weight of that camper. I believe as far as campers go they are light but even so I expect it will weight 600-800 KG. Just keep in mind that you are adding more than 50% to the car's weight. It won't make for pleasant motoring. Having said that once its unhooked you have your car back for trips around your base camp
I had the privalage to view the Bowden collection here in QLD. It might not have the same callibre of super cars but it more than makes up for it in history. Lots of Bathurst winners and genuine race vehicles (cobras and and a GT40). You haven't seen or heard a real engine till you've experienced a running GT40. WOW!!! Awsome. I'll try and post some pics.....if I can find them.
