That reminds me Neil - what are the dimensions on those MX5 bushes (part number?) you mentioned in last RACE?

Ahhh winton to!!!!!!! what classes are running? have to be at the factory on Saturday but i might be able to re schedule. Probably not worth going to winton since a certain fiat is out of action once again...

Nero · 06-11-09, 10:01 PM

gods not again...what was it this time Head gasket? This explains why simon was in a foul mood today!

profi · 06-11-09, 10:24 PM

Leaking all over the place main rear seal in the engine, front of the box and one other engine leak that he hasn't yet located, he will burn it by the sounds of things.

Nero · 07-11-09, 07:23 PM

shit, he's had the worst luck with it.

Nero · 09-11-09, 06:47 AM

Dampers have 7 clicks on bump at canister and 26 clicks on shaft for rebound.

profi · 10-11-09, 06:54 PM

Neil, do i have to buy these things as a set or can i buy 2 of the longer ones?

Nero · 10-11-09, 07:23 PM

No idea, it depends on what they have to sell and they will be back late this week. I'll ask what they have.

Billzilla · 10-11-09, 07:30 PM

Keep me in mind as well if possible thanks .... I'll find out what lengths I need and see if we can do a deal.

I'm happy to send you a front/rear if you want to have a look at them. Liam saw them on the weekend - they are compact little things.

LOL, I literally just sent you a PM ....
Yes please, COD a ~310mm open-length one and I'll check it out, then send it back all at my cost thanks.

Nero · 11-11-09, 03:37 PM

OK. For all who are interested, you may have to buy sets of four...I'm not making any money on these if we get them and don't want to be left holding 10 fronts etc.

profi · 11-11-09, 03:40 PM

No probs, ill take the 10 fronts since they are longer

you blokes can have the rears...

EDIT: i finally decided they wont work... the shock travel is the big killer, please send me an
email if you see a cheapish set of ohlins or similar for sale.

Nero · 11-11-09, 08:05 PM

Oh I've been offered Ohlin TX44s set of six...for a cool $1250US each...I said no thanks.

profi · 11-11-09, 08:46 PM

Is that offer still available, bit out of the Hyundai's price range but not for a few other car cars scattered around, 2 are going to be using tx44s. Are they the narrow body version or the wide body version, i believe the wide body was used in the supercars before the narrow bodys to the point where they are now using sachs.

Nero · 12-11-09, 06:59 PM

So what do we want if anything?

I'll give you a call soon.

Nero · 12-11-09, 08:08 PM

ha!...try this little sample:

Nero · 12-11-09, 08:10 PM

more?

HoonBoy · 12-11-09, 08:21 PM

Nice stuff there! Is that some suspension pushrod rocker thingies I see sitting on a shelf?

Gammaboy · 12-11-09, 08:24 PM

Pricetag on DFS?

Nero · 12-11-09, 08:26 PM

lots of stuff...basically lots of cars in bits and extra bits.
No idea. I'm sure it would depend on No of hour engine has done. If you are seriously interested I could ask

Gammaboy · 12-11-09, 08:29 PM

More curious than anything, but with a potential sale on the XY who knows.

Nero · 12-11-09, 08:36 PM

The Ilmore is more interesting to me.

It's not the pushrod Ilmore (what a loophole that was) - but interesting none the less. 10 Years ago I nearly bought a Alfa Romeo Indy v8 - damn thing was so wide across the water pumps I had no idea what I could put it in though.
Any idea what the Chev looking motor with the Barnes valve covers is next to the ilmore?

profi · 12-11-09, 08:51 PM

Neil can you get a dry sump pump out of that playground?

Nero · 12-11-09, 09:03 PM

no, pumps are built into the engine's sump.
Never seen a barnes before.

Nero · 13-11-09, 10:35 PM

Houston we have a problem,
All sales of stuff are off as someone want to buy it all! Damn him!

gxxr · 14-11-09, 07:35 AM

Matt the vendor you bought the rack off has had a few sets of 3 way 44 ohlins in the recent past for around the 1400~1500 mark, someone else had a complete 5 way set (for total confusion!) around the cost of a pair you've mentioned.

If you want to slum it with konis, he did an odd set of 2812s with weight jacker for 450 not long ago and 2822s last year (which ended up in Melbourne) for not much more.

Nero · 14-11-09, 01:02 PM

I tried to get the 2812's...computer fizzed and I went without ebay for a few days! There does seem plenty of stuff around as the images show. The issue with some koni's is the high rebuild costs.
Frankly I'd like to be in a position to buy the lot 3 cars, spare tubes, 10 spare engines and three containers of asst'd bits!
BTW the Ohlins I mentioned about had 140mm of stroke...very useful.
