NASCAR going Hybrid in 2024

I trust V8SC will go to a 2.8 litre turbo diesel just like a majority of Aussies buy in their cars

The Fury convertible looks like a nice thing...

FARRRKKKK

Probably not. the supply of new cars is thin on the ground globally. Shipping is two years behind for everything, including car making bits

I think for stuff we are interested in, everyone in Australia who has wanted something already has...

I heard that they almost went bust and someone bought them out, turned the profits around and they are now a lot larger as a company



They are all in the small booths at SEMA. Most won't deal out side of the US because it's...

This looks OK for a factory body kit

Shame the interior is still terrible and the motor bone stock

You has PM...

I'm buying stuff off them every month. The have only been a day late on two occasions. Pretty epic IMHO...

I reckon it might be a special edition they'll do. Bronze Rays with dark green paint and a black interior would be a nice looking bit of kit...

NPD and Rockauto have been epic to date. Even in COVID times

In my experiences so far - Locally Eagle Auto Parts, an eBay store called Engine Parts Australia and Chris Mills (local Perf shop) are head and shoulders above other Australian...

Gates part number 6PK2365...

It's a good base model single cab long bed motor IMHO. I thing with a large amount of free space under the tray a hybrid would be an excellent idea...

With no manufacturer looking at new diesel engines for the non commercial (i.e trucks) market I think those diesel fucktards will have no choice

Mitutoyo

They will need to be calibrated at that level of accuracy and used in a temperature controlled room i.e at the temp it was calibrated at

The Mitutoyo hold their calibration pretty good...

Engine bay looks well packed. Still reckon it looks like a good thing

Interdasting. Wondered why everyone was getting all funny about music in their videos. Personally I prefer no music in a video, except a MCM video, then it's no dancing...

This is pre Chinaflu. I haven't been for the past two years due to work

Price went from $40 to $60 just after the original owner gave it up and Events West took over. Went from large queues waiting to get in to no almost one there. You have...

Did you see the one done for Dakar South America on the old chassis? I posted it early in this thread. Was a impressive bit of kit

I've driven the V6 Ecoboost and Coyote F150's. Personally prefer the V6 Ecoboost. As you mentioned the smaller...

Saw my first one in the metal, umm plastic today. IMHO They look alright, better that the 200 series. Problem with that is I'm not it's target market nor would I ever buy one

Lots of media stories of Toyotas denying the four year wait on...
