Because I enjoy learning about the physics of lowering cars and get one step closer to satisfying my thirst for knowledge? I think not Kitumus

Would you be interested in carbon doorcards?

I appreciate its a complete conflict of ideas. Its not race car but theres no reason to not do as much as i can to make it handle as best as it can while still looking as good as it can.

Good thinking did you get the oil pressure problem sorted out in the end?

not yet

i didnt prime the pump 'properly' i just assumed it would self prime so it could be something to do with that.

alternatively it could just be my wiring as the g60 into a mk1 guide i followed never said anything about wiring in the sensor on the oil filter housing.

anyway these got made after a few tweaks ;-)



theyre made out of 4350 chromium which is what you make gun barrels and conrods out of. apparently theyre about 8 and a half times as strong as they need to be

now the wishbones sit happy and match the arc of the rack perfectly

Ahh ok, though I would have thought it would be able to prime itself, as long as its in good working order.

Would see what the pressure is like by testing it and then go from there, alot easier to pin point the problem then.

Those bits you've had made up look bloody top notch

make a few more pairs nice work tom

It realy worries me giving home made stuff to other people.

the extensions havent been tested or stress relieved or have any sort of approval, so i cant be sure on their safety. If im driving along and they snap and the hub falls off, then its my own fault, but if i gave them to someone else it would be my fault and if something was to happen i would feel realy bad

some guy offered me £800 for my banded g60s, but they were done by my friend and I so i didnt feel comfortable selling them in case they split in half and he died or something

thermal wrote:

£150 last time I looked.

Require more info?

Can't say fairer than that really

took the bonnet off and sanded it down as the front was rusty and shitty.

Ive always been realy worried about airflow with the g60 as the filter sits right behind the light, but i was inspired when i saw this rado at springfest;



only thing is that guy welded it in the wrong way around.

so i decided to do something similar









im just trying to find the courage to cut the hole!

sweet goin for a rusty bonnet

no thanks ill paint it afterwards!

Cut the hole i wish i did some in the wing.

You do realise that won't let anymore air in? Just let the hit stuff out.
