Has to be, it wouldn't be able to turn a corner unless on air bags and even then it would have to lift8-9"in the front.
Another option would be to tuck the chassis rails in where the arms mount. This would leave the track as is but give the arms room to move/swing....
George Jetson would be proud to drive that.
What an interesting way to run two belts. I assume you adjust the alternator first then the Power Steering Pump? I've never seen that before.
I have a rear mounted (technically a mid/rear engine, by our Laws) and I have the engine facing the rear with an auto trans behind it (toward the...
That's cool. Hopefully they become famous and you have millions of views.
Martin Robey in Nuneaton UK can supply almost any part for most Jaguars. It may be easier and a better result with new high quality parts. I...
Averaging 28MPH Sydney/Brisbane! Nowadays I average 63MPH for the same trip. Non-stop on one tank of fuel.
Bob's your Uncle, means it's good, done, finished. It refers to something that has been or being done. The Brits may say tickety boo!
My wife was my Navigator back in my desert racing days. She was outstanding. Funny thing is she's lost without route instructions in front of her...
I wouldn't trade my LS3 for any other GM or Ford V8. Simply put I have a 500hp engine that uses bugger all fuel and starts every time I turn the...
The real test is driving a Left Hand Drive car in a Right Hand Drive Country. You end up sitting on the kerb side of the car and can't see around...
If Clarkson can't kill it neither can your daughter....
If the American Auto Industry is a measure of quality manufacturing, the tools made in America must be made of used banana skins, Sorry your Auto...
The main reason the wet suspension was replaced by dry in race Minis here in Australia was weight. The old rubber suspension was a lot lighter...
I had a a fuel cell split a seam on a off-road race car and when re-welding the seam we added gussets around the leak and it didn't leak again....
I also have sons who would poke their eye out with a screwdriver if you let them use one. I also wonder who I'm going to give my tools too. At...
You have it in one. There shouldn't be room for the spacer above the nut. Only solution is filling the hole and starting again or (as I would do)...
Geelong is 557 Kilometres or 345 miles from Batlow. About a 5.5 hour drive on good freeways and toll roads. We have very strictly enforced speed...

It must have been galling to be upstaged by those guys from New Zealand in their McLarens and then to get blown out of the park by those Germans...
A Unisteer centre steer rack is never going to get rid of bump steer as the operating arcs are not right. The fix is to set it up like any OEM R&P...
You can do all of that in NZ, but you won't get any decent Aussie beer!
20 bags of cement would be closer to the number for a Jag 6 and transmission.
If you don't give it a go, you won't know if you can save it. If you scrap it you won't have the chance to find out what you can do. If you fail,...
Learn to shrink metal and buy a shrinking disc.
Thames vans get me excited. If the body is at all salvageable I would stick with the van and squeeze a small block into it. If the body is cactus,...
4" works for me. 6 is just a bit too much.
You can screw insane power out of the Falcon 6. Know in a Australia as a Barra engine. They are legendary.
