Yes progressing at a great rate of knots at the moment. (I think I might be ready for "attempting" engine start next week)
Although I wont have my headers so I think I might have to wait. Need to buy a fire extinguisher as well just in case
I think I will hit a slow patch soon when the exhaust needs doing. (I will send a post for anyone who knows a good exhaust guy in Melb Eastern suburbs -Aussie Mike has given me a suggestion).
Regarding the wheels sizes they are as follows:
Front 8" with ET38 offset (or 5.5" backspace) using 245/45/17 HTR-ZII Sumitomos from Tirerack.com in the USA (got them when the dollar was 97cents)
Rear 10" with ET25 offset (or 6" backspace) using 315/35/17 HTR-Z Sumitomos.
I think when I did the calcs this gave the same sidewall height for the same revolutions front and back. 110.25 mm.
Spoke to the "wheel-man" today and he is getting me shorter bolts and said I could take the air out and take out two bolts at a time and shorten them if I wanted whilst I was waiting for the new bolts.
Boxhead - good suggestion on the rebalancing I forgot about that. (Means I need to buy another 6 pack of Jim Beams for the tyre buddy who fitted them for "free"
Big weekend ahead of me - the missus is away and its just my teenage sons and I - looks like we're working on the Cobra all weekend -
