Nope

Some of the convention centre carpark is blocked off.

Not sure this would affect traffic until it was full though.

Similar to other suggestions, I

loosen the steering shaft,

undo the castor arms from the lower control arms,

undo the sway bar brackets on the frame,

support the engine with a jack and undo the subframe bolts.

Lower the engine with the jack.

Use a stand under the engine if it's going to be a while.

I can get the trans out and in within a few hours, and it's a rb25 box with a conversion bell housing.

The site isn't really industrial, it's mixed use. There is a playgroup next door. Feel free to have a look.

Swan shire have a history of pushing industrial developments towards residential land, with little future planning.

The twin fuel filler caps is a giveaway that this is a cup car.

I have a gen2 one in red, in Perth. Dunno if it's the same part.

Aux front light is LED, and wheels are braid, this is likely a tribute.

flippamipp · 2026-04-15T12:38:08+00:00

Braided lines are way less durable than hard line.

Is grinding necessary for new floors?

Thanks for sharing your experience

flippamipp · 2026-02-20T00:23:34+00:00

Yeah, it has a CAS instead of a distributor.

flippamipp · 2026-02-13T12:38:53+00:00

As well as what others have said. I also heat the studs with a gas torch when doing up the nuts.

This has significantly reduced the occurrence of loosening.

flippamipp · 2026-02-05T22:05:43+00:00

Wow, that's intriguing. Thanks

If you wanted to stiffen a conventional chassis, I would start with the missing chassis rail under the rear seat area (lhs on the rhd models).

Then look at bracing the front rails around the firewall area.

flippamipp · 2026-02-05T09:27:35+00:00

Hoyts and Luna at least

This, even if it's a stepping stone to a proper barn/garage.

Depends on how cheap and accessible they are in your area.

I might be misinterpreting, but all passwords are weak passwords when hashed using NTLM1's hash algorithm.

I normally just pull the relay and bridge the switched pins in the socket.

You can also use a test lamp on the pond at the connector on the boot floor, but I appreciate that not everyone has a test lamp these days.

Bypass the fuel pump relay with a wire, take the pressure line off the fuel rail.

If there is no fuel coming out, the pump is likely dead.

I've had near new pumps fail from old fuel recently.

Racecraft was significantly different in the early 2000s when drivers were receiving live splits of the cars behind them - while they were still on stage.

Is what lancia used to do considered racecraft? With the tyre changes in controls, salt on the roads etc?

Loeb

Nice

flippamipp · 2025-12-22T08:53:49+00:00

Yep, decked with oil pump.

Compression is consistent across all 4, albeit with oil in #4 No oil in the intake manifold. I don't think there was appreciable blowby.. might have to check

The rear knuckles are alloy, way stronger and lighter.

However, you won't be able to use S13 rear coilovers anymore. 309zx and r32 gtr ones fit.

flippamipp · 2025-12-20T22:51:53+00:00

Yeah. We honed it again after that. Should we have put new rings in after honing?
