die grinder is working again thanksto a trip to the trusty electronic appliance man so i can continue to remove large amounts of metal from my windsor exhaust ports. on other news found a pic of the car i'm buying less motor in action so check it out.

just started porting and polishing my windsor heads for project supermod and my bloody luck the die grinder shits itself 10 minutes in and i'm left with rough cast heads : ( if anyone knows where i could purchase 351 windsor bumpy top pistons in standard bore please let me know. cheers jack

Its been reported that human beings only use 10% of there brains potential, What would happen if we used 100%, Science fiction style with teleconisis and such.

Have you thought about the rotary road as little carburetted 12as can be picked up for a reasonable price these days and a nice little rotary in a small car of that era would be an absolute road rocket, and carburetor cuts out a lot of work compared to fuel injection. cheers jack

Firstly light doesn't mean driftable if you wanna drift the issues floody raised would be far more important eg weight balance, chassis stiffness and suspension performance, and secondly a full cast iron 1.3 litre old schoolesque engine would probably be twice the weight of the full alloy modern...

allot of potential but i'd ditch the 1.3 pretty quick, saw a few 4age black tops going for 400 to 600 with full ecu and loom, so thats just one option, and as far as pricing on ae86s atm check a few forums out i reckon you'll be in for a nasty surprise due to there cult following. cheers jack

the ruling in our class dictates iron heads which mainly means modified stock heads, the cleveland heads make big flow bench numbers but only later in the rev range purely because of the cavernous inlet tract inside the cleveland heads but at anything under 5000 rpm they have quite a low air...

yeah but engine conversions aren't to be messed with lightly and anything later model japanese means dollars

go small sedan as coupe , hatchback means higher price usually , thought toyota corrolla ? like 72? or maybe datsun 1600 but the price is creeping up again, gemini , escort 4 doors are going cheap atm and aftermarket support for them is amazing. cheers jack

can, shouldn't

jordan, budget? previous experience? what will you use the car for? taste?

in our experience the windsor is acytally a much nicer revving engine, plus being budget motors we only rev them to what our fixed ratio diffs allow which on a long track is only about 7000 rpm so its not really that relevent, the main goal with our engines is smooth torque from 2800 - 5000 rpm...

adam buy it, end of story, my coaster set up cost $430 and that is only khe reverse to stolen roullette so def buy it.

scooters, always, no exception kids spending more on there scooters eg bars wheels yada yada yada then the cost of a half decent complete bike having 30 scooter riders try to kick out the only 3 bmx riders in the park because we were "crowding it "

supermod build hey guys thought i'd document the build of my supermodified sprintcar for speedway ovaltrack racing, starting with the engine it is a 69' 351 windsor out of an american mustang that has never had an oil change and sat in a shed for 29 years so it needs a fair bit of work, as can...
