Our mig can be used with or without gas.

We didn't have the gas set up at home so obviously we were using it without gas. Very easy to use. The weld I took a photo of was done with a medium feed rate and low current using 0.9mm wire. Was quite a neat weld.

Going in on Saturday for some minor exhaust work on Saturday including the addition of an 18" resi to bring the noise down a bit.

Then I'll be taking a little break from modding whilst uni exams are on.

Then after that I'll be taking on the project of adding a BA Sequential Sports Shifter mechanism.

Then nothing is planned!

I don't have any big mods (such as a turbo or blower) planned as uni is too expensive for that and I've been trying to save!!!

Nice ride you've got there, especially love the momo gear knob, how much modding was required to get it to fit? Currently got the blue and black momo wheel and would love any info you can pass on :)

There's a hell of a lot of fiddling involved to get it to fit at all. Let alone getting it to fit well!

The main problem is that the AU shifter's lifted a rod to change gears whereas the e-series knobs pushed a rod down. Then there's the fact that the AU knobs simply don't screw onto the e-series stalks.

Plus the AU knob itself costs around $100!

I'm selling this one though :D

FM/ACF Dyno Day yesterday...

The car made 129.4rwkw...

Not too bad at all considering all I'VE done to it is extractors and exhaust. I always thought this motor I picked up from the wreckers was a freak!

And before anyone says anything... The Dyno seemed to be fairly accurate as most E-series with similar mods were only making 115-125rwkw.

Nothing happening lately.

I'm wanting to put a BA shifter in it these uni holidays.

We'll see what happens. I'm fairly happy with it at the moment.
