Im the same, know all ! but forget what ive done personally !!!!

SWEEEEEEEET !!!!!!

Couple more things, adjustable will only be on the rebound unless they are specialised shocks for racing purposes normally

You want the car to absorb the bump with little to no rebound, too hard and the wheel will bounce on the road as the car lifts because of the rebound delay.

If they are koni ...

Clay,
I am using Monroe GT shocks for the Torana front end.
They cost around $180 and are very good.
The Torana shocks are shorter than HR and valved differently as well.
Not an easy comparison.
Normal street shocks mainly control rebound, unless you buy adjustable types. Assuming you want the ...

What shocks are in it now ?

The shorter shocks are designed for lowered fronts and their valving is slightly different to cater for the stiffer spring.

Humble indeed Greg. Overdue recognition of 20 years effort by a very clever feller. A klutz like me can put in the same effort but won’t get anywhere near as good an outcome. Great fun spending the time either way you and Anne again. Next year maybe you can show me how to do a proper burnout ...

Thats a lottery ticket moment right there !!!

I have only seen a bearing like that once in my life, now 2 but that seriously could have been tragic !!

Good fix and on the road again !!

Thanks mate, hope to meet you next year.

Greg

This is a standout car, I spent quite a bit of time looking it over, and I admired the work thats gone into it.

Im sorry I missed meeting you there at the nationals, I was running around like a chook with no head, too much fun !!

Next year i'll make sure to introduce myself.

Greg

Looks great Clay,

Dont leave Elle waiting all day whilst you catch the tubes !!

Greg

Well the nationals are done and dusted for another year.

Thanks to all the people in the Queensland club for a great event and location, Stanthorpe is a lovely town.
I was humbled by this event as my car won 1st in EK modified, however there were plenty of cars as we know have as much love and ...

Awesome and interesting,

After getting back from the nationals and the pouring rain it has highlighted the fact that these old cars are absolutely water tight, NOT.

You would want to spend the time water proofing the areas the electroncs sit otherwise poof (and i mean that in a sound sence) and no ...

I went through there after the WA nats, had lunch at the exchange, nice old pub.

Took some photos of the entertainment area, apparently quite tame these days !

Greg

Smiling!!!
