  1. An alternative to Quaife https://gripperlsd.com/product/ford-sierra-7/ The thing I want to avoid is the landing shock on the inside wheel, if it were to happen. It's more of a concern for me with my Ital, than for you. This kind of diff might be, gentler? Not sure. I am sure is more $$$ than quaife. It may be worth it. Not many players in this game for my Ital axle, but there should be more options for the Sierra.
  2. Whatever you do, DONT STOP! Kids national championship game, Nope. House fire, keep perishables in a shed. Wife wants a Hawaii trip Nope Cancer diagnosis It can wait a few more months Parent dies, Tell them they can't die until you finish If only I took my own advice. The curse is real. Everything imaginable will pop up to divert you from the project.

  4. You guys... https://www.7-dna.com/eugene/home.html
  5. Per Martin Phipps, Caterham archivist Caterham BRG: Axalta Centari paints (formerly DuPont) For one litre: Pigment code / grams AM32 = 227 43 = 399 6 = 478 1 = 488 AK 100 = 997 also mentioned: Ditzler #46446 / GN29 is similar my comments: Home depot and Lowes paint counters have a color identification device that will analyze a sample you bring. They may have a paint code you can take to an automotive paint application.
  6. Im considering a 1700 build for the AX, or the new cast 711M. (You always know if someone has an AX block; they will tell you). The crank doesn't need to be FF legal, and Im not wanting a FF fly-weight flywheel. Just bad shift bullet proof drivable road stuff.
  7. Anyone? PM me for offers or put suggestions here what to get and from who. Standard crank for a road car is OK. I am wanting steel just to not have to be too concerned wirh the rev limits going forward. Or in reverse.
  8. X-Flow chassis. Already have one with the rear hanger bracket. The left side wing lower edge is 2" higher than standard to clear the pipe passing underneath. Routes under the axle and up under the wing rear. When I ordered my replacement wing, I neglected to specify and got the standard wing for side exit. I decided to try side exit going forward. I learnt hearing protection for the wind would be standard MO.
  9. This is more what I'm looking for, it's a Harley Davidson cigar muffler. This is a reproduction from Lowbrow Customs. 1958-72 cigar muffler by Gasbox. OEM # 65235-58. Out of stock at this time. I haven’t looked everywhere. If it's typical Harley, it's meant to be hidden inside a chrome cover.
  10. Nor sure. But staying with 1600 and 1.75. Not using the original muff. Looking for something that won't get caught and rip off my wing. Wing ripoff proof. Not wanting to hijack, hoping I can find what I'm looking for in the suggestions here.
  11. Looking myself for 1 3/4" glass pack type or baffled traight pipes
  12. Are springs marked with the rating?
  13. You probably got more chick's with that bonnet scoop!
  14. For the cult of the green and gold, might go with your car's colours... Timex TW2W99100 60's inspired with high dome crystal, quartz, a pretty daily wearable. $180ish. Other colours available. I know, not a race watch. But, hey, that colour! https://timex.com/products/marlin-chronograph-tachymeter-40mm-leather-strap-watch-tw2w98900?nb_klid=01HNC12JC1BXFXFWKWS1J71P1W&_kx=eMqJEAhv1x58DHxCXHzla7a76WdyKQ8SyEB3Pp7oSBR-3LCZk18XQeEh8aaepEzE.VM8xiK
  15. So... I have a head, an uprated I believe, flat face, definitely not pre xflow, and I buy these standard ratio rockers on ebay. One thing I an wondering is, with those spacers, how well does everything get the slippery stuff? Good enough for brass guides to get showered on? I'm considering brass guides because the head is over ported already (not my doing) breaching two exhsust side head bolt holes, already needing sleeves there. Thinking of sending it to Ivey to build into something useful. Any Idea what that going to run? Still a good possibility its pooched. A built alloy head is an option. Who sells those here?
