    Weekend Project

    Update. Due to the car not wanting to change gears, it requires us to revv its tits off most of the time and due to that its crapped itself in cylinder 6 so its not running too good now. And I'm after a new radiator cause the old ones gone straight through the fan. Haha, the tree was more solid...

    Weekend Project

    Progress! Checked the dipstick when we first put the engine in, full. Checked it last weekend, practically empty. Fill it up, start it so far so good. Put it in gear, jumps foward then POP! It seems silicone and bungs are not enough to hold the pressure or an automatic transmission. Lucky for...

    Weekend Project

    Still stumped as to why it's not moving.. Figured out its not the vacuum hose, that only helps it shift up or down gears.

    Weekend Project

    What happened to Anythingmxforums.com?

    I tried to go onto AMX today and it just returned a 'bing' searchlist. So i googled it and i saw a site saying 'Expired Domain Names' and under it was www.anythingmxforums.com! I assume it was closed down for whatever reason?

    Weekend Project

    Yeah there are a lot of douchebags around who who have crappy old Commo's who stick Chev badges on them to be 'fully sick'. But theres a few HSV R8's rolling round here which have 6.2l Chev blocks in them. We dont have the Walkinshaw supercharged versions though like you guys do.

    What's it take to do a Back Flip?

    About your grip problem, what you can do is get some paint, mix with regular sand and apply to your ramp, i use it for my motorcross ramps.

    Do you need to use After Run Oil?

    Running the car straight after 'after run oil' will defeat the purpose of using it. As stated before, you only really need it if your going to let the car sit for 1-2 weeks. Me personally, i've never used ARO ever, but thats because I'm a cheap bastard, and yeah keep it out of the carb.

    Big "D"

    I'm sorry to hear about it mate, do you have kids? Because as a teen, i've been through the divorce of my parents and it's not fun. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you.

    Weekend Project

    Been a while since i've been round here regularly, it doesn't help with such a slow internet though. Well, for those who don't know about me, i live on a farm, which means theres plenty of room for driving and riding and whatnot. Anyway, that destructive urge inside me has been calling out yet...

    creeping forward

    If your sure your idle speed is fine, your springs are not strong enough. It doesn't matter how new they are, if they aren't strong enough then they will allow the shoes to rub. Which also causes premature wear on them.

    Remember Me?

    Ah it's nice to see you fellas haven't forgotten me! @HPI- Of course i'm alive, it take more than that to get rid of ol' Bumstick About the buggy situation. If i take the front driveshaft out will it revv out trying to send it power or? And just to clarify, a force .28 should go right in...

    stupid roller skate bearings!

    Well what you need to do is prop the wheel on two peices of wood with a gap in the middle, like train tracks. Make sure that the wood is not near the bearing. Sit another bearing on top of the other, out of the wheel. And hit it with a hammer, it will pop the bearing on the other side out. =D
