lucky bastard! every year i intend on seeing it, but i never make it. work is a "####" atm very busy..
nothing in the auto world (except 2L bda escort w/ twin webers) sounds better than a F1 car !!

Aired - 7 March 2012 Expires in 10 Days better be quick

i burn thru my 400GB a month way too fast as is, but thx for the link it sounds like it would be good.
iview is unmetered for iinet so i abuse that but ive never seen a 1.5hr stream on iview.

from memory the horn wire is just a negative trigger, so when the wire is grounded, (eg to some part of the chassis ground) the horn should go. i have not the need for a horn relay, unless i put bigger horns in..? the horn relay you would want to put between the battery and the horn, if you were to use it.. also a horn you might need when the cars ignition is off, so the power should go direct to the battery via a fuse.

if you go to above 70watt bulbs for high beam you definitely want to upgrade your wiring, i fried the crap out of mine at first :)
i would recommend (same thing an auto elecy did for mine) adding in 2 relays, low beam and high beam, so that the wiring which comes from the interior of the car is used simply as a signal, then the hot 12V goes from the battery through the relays coil directly to the lights. also use a ~40amp breaker from the battery to the relays. the12volt.com always helps with stuff like this too. goodluck!

when i upgraded (learnt the hard way)
tech wiki lamp wiring

edit: if anyone has installed HID's some pics would be great. they are a bit too expensive to blow the $ now, but something i will do in the future..

didnt someone ask this question just like a week ago... maybee the Tech Wiki on the LHS should be flashing or somethign ! :)

if they were socks id buy them, looking for some of those atm...

heres a pic




they would go nicely with some fibreglass leafs

i bought a ute diff ~5 years ago and a phantom grip LSD for the 165 about 4 yrs ago and its time to get it in my coupe. ive been looking around wreckers for bluebird/etc rear brakes but no luck yet, so I ask the club.. ive bought all new bearings and oil seals so far. the 1200 ute axle is complete with brake lines.

looking for:
-rear discs + calipers to hopefully bolt on to ute axle
-any of the other parts needed for the conversion eg handbrake cable bits
-L series tailshaft (to go into 63A box, current tailshaft is wrong length for 165 w/ phantomgrip)
-new or newish rear shock absorbers (current ones are pretty crap and were recycled)

i can put up pics of the axle and spring loaded locker if it helps.. ive had loads of trouble taking off the stock diff housing too ; are there any tricks apart from heating it up?


unfamilia: thx I think I'm using a shortened stanza shaft ATM so another one of those would work.
pigdog: thx as well, I will likely go with a stanza, they are everywhere.. Yes i have 14's :)

yaya thumbs up from me !!! :)
