[Guest]

Just used a can of UEC for the first time, was utterly unimpressed with the lack of smoke.

AA inspection for a possible buyer today!

[Joker]

Dropped it in for a WOF

Interesting appendage.

Apart from creating draggggggggggg,whats its purpose?

Pay attention to some aerodynamics and you might learn how it decreases drag and increases the downforce that the rear wing can make.

Hey Koomsie, wont this particular 'aero' part increase the drag coefficient, if by only increasing the effectiveness of the wing?

Probably depends on how much flow separation there is off the rear edge of the roof?

At what speed do these aerodynamic devices show an improved performance over a standard model.

~160kph at a guess? Could get that driving at 90kph with a 70kph headwind.....

70kph headwind, easy in Wellington!

[aim]

It would be a prick Driveways are key...

[Scoobydoo]

I once changed a radiator and coolant flush on the street. Garage had no working room at all, and the driveway was on too much of an angle.

[Guest]

aww feel sorry for you guys specially with my 8m by 8m shed just gotta get a hoist now

[aim]

WANT.

I'm trying to convince dad to install a pit in his new shed.

[Guest]

had a pit at the old mans they handy but you gotta be careful cos fumes build up in them

and if you wanna park in the shed you should really have some heavyduty covers on them, otherwise the landcruiser gets stuck in there.....

i want a hoist

[Guest]

been lookin at some they bout 4k tho

[ReubenH]

Real men work any where, any time.

At least it's level, and the steet is quiet/wide, so it's really no bother. The only annoying thing is the stones all over the ground.

[CUDDAS]

Hoist's are the sh1t, i only have 4 to choose from at work

& they go reasonably cheap on TM ($1200) if you live in auckland & can pick them up. might as well put one in the shed for that price

[Guest]

1200? oh yeah!! hope i can get a single phase one tho

[MercuryFree]
