    considered it, but if i brake it itll cost more than the car for a new diff, ill try the vice grips and diesel rag on the tyres, can you fit a 14" rim on the ass, dont wont to stuff a good tyre, havent got a spare 15 or 2 hopefully lol

    Do what i used to do with my Nitro car.
    Rap the wheels in **** loads of duct tape.
    Sure to be able to do burnouts :D
    Drift like nuts.
    Put heaps on so u dont rip through it straight away.
    Put like 2 rolls on each wheel.
    :D and film it
    i wanna see

    No a 14 won't clear the caliper if you weld the diff good it won't break it or just put a spool in it in speedway they have to spool the diff or weld and we have no issues with driveshafts or the diff in my mates vy and that has a mini spool in it.

    lol never heard of that before, i think ill just try some diesel
    bummer that sucks, might have to smoke 2 tyres lol, i might try some hq 14"s i know there dont fit properly but ive got a heap and there a different offset, havent run anything except hq on the back of the old commy, had 14x7s on the ass scrubed so bad, i rolled the gurad then got a bottle jack in the arch and pumped them out, still wouldnt fit tho, went back to 6"
    damn right it is lol,its funny driving around town seeing people driving vts, real tidy conditon etc and ive got one out the back flogging it in the paddock lol and paid 200 bucks for it lol, especially seeing povo pack cars, laugh cause ive got better looking taillights on mine(berlina)
    dont think ill lift it, i think it being low is the only reason its not on its lid yet bahahaha, damn you guys had myself convinced not to weld the diff cause i didnt want to spend the time, i might see if a few mates from town can come out for a spin and video me, there flat out studying for the hsc atm but who doesnt have time for burnouts lol

    ok another question, when its cold it idles fine, but if you try to give it any revs its like it nearly stalls, kinda like its flooding if thats even possible on a efi, anywhere from idle lto 3.5-4 grand, once its warm its fine throught the range, ive checked the plugs and leads and they were fine, i took the manifold lid off and it wasnt anything i didnt expect, just black and crap, but its got so many ks, i was thinking vac leak but nothing jumped out at me, its done it since i first got it and i want to get it sorted, anyone got any ideas??

    [​IMG]

    got a new tyre, swapped it for a ford rim lol, forgot how fun it was, circle work is the best, just loves it, mack(my cattle dog pup) he rides shot gun, old dog( about 15yr old cattle dog) he rolls around in the back seat, having less fun lol, i only run water in the radiator becasue im too much of a tight ass for coolant, and its getting pretty hot, i think the guage is busted, can anyone post a link to how i wire my thermos to run on a switch, ill just run them while ever the motor is running, driving is fine but circle work and flogging it she fills the over flow up
