    Well as some of you know my old car was shortened thanks to a wall at heathcote.

    But thanks to Dave and all the time he spends on stalkbook I just purchased a new beacon. I will pick it up this week then the fun begins again. Here are some pics of it from stalkbook5uva5a3e.jpgy6udu3an.jpgbuqa4asy.jpgra5a8yza.jpgpejuda8y.jpghyjupemu.jpghe3ugy7u.jpg

    So it's a 2 owner car and looks to be in great nick so I'm a very happy man ATM

    The cylinder head has no marking on the sides of it but it has hf-2 on top of the head... Haven't measured what size the valves are but they are brand new..

     

    Yea I live near adelaide so it's a fair way...ahaha..

     

    Dude it's not that far to drive for that motor I have a engine that pro250(Dave) built and it is a very strong motor and didn't cost the earth.

    Thanks Tony and NZXD. I'm starting to get my head around the speedway thing, the sport must send people broke, the amount of carnage every round and they have to fix it all hahahaha. We will see what gains in power these changes will make this weekend, I'm off to see if I can do a simple way of putting a radius on the carb top, will let you know how I go.

    One thing my dad used to say was"what's a good way to make a small fortune motor racing???? Start with a large one"

    Rust will be your biggest thing to look for but like most cars the rust can be fixed

     

    Check the boot floor pull out the spare as they rust in there

     

    As stated above the top of guards and around the rear windscreen where the bootlid closes

     

    Around the screens front and back roof gutters also

     

    Sills get bad to but hey it can all be fixed :)

     

    And yes you can have sex in one i also lost my virginity in one but it was a wagon so it was easier :D

     

    And they are a lighter than a falcon with the same engine :D  :D  :D
