C&S' 90
Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 3:10 am
Salutations all, I've been lurking on this forum for a long while now, figured it was about time I contributed. I'm mechanically inept so didn't really see a need to join as I have very little to add, but I may be needing some advice soon so thought I'd make an appearance. That said I'm getting better at working on the cars, and I did just finish installing a 164 3 litre.
I currently own a track slag 90, Ironsides, pics of which are attached. I've slowly been modifying it over the last few years, a little bit at a time. This is the car that recieved the 3 litre from a 164, which was finally started last week, and managed to survive a track day on Sunday relatively unscathed. Other than that, Ironsides has just the usual stuff, Volvo calipers up front over 164 rotors, Konis, 32mm TBs, 200 lb rear springs, surge tank. It needs to get me to the track on time, so nothing too radical just yet. Definitely shitloads of fun though, and it has passed 2 Porsches so far and one Triumph TR8.
I also have another 90 which has been sitting in my drive for 3 years since I bought it. I really should get around to getting it registered and recommissioned. And then there is the Giulietta (do we talk about Giuliettas on this forum) which I bought to compete in a fund-raising rally next year which consists of buying a car for under $1000AUD and completing 3800km of very tough dirt roads in 7 days (I may start another post about that particular car), and of course the 33, which is an excellent car for nipping down to the shops.
Looking forward to contributing as much nonsense to this forum as I do to the others. For future reference, my posts will either be very serious questions or very serious piss-taking. Otherwise they'll be indecipherable and little more than the ramblings of a drunk madman.
