Re: Brake booster?!
Guys, The booster runs on manifold vacuum......you can run any size booster with any size braking system you want (with in reason).....but put a massive cam in the car...and your booster won't work the most important thing you have to watch out is the pushrod length in the booster as opposed to the ...

Re: wagon spoilers
yeah i've had a look at the factory wing on the high roof model......unfortunately it wasn't really the look i was after and the wing can only be attanched to a high roof model as it is bolted through the high roof section (at least that's what the arrangement was on the one i looked at)

wagon spoilers
G'day all
Has anyone fibreglassed a spoiler for a sigma wagon??????
I've considered doing it but not sure what size or angle
The ones i've considred most are the rubber/foam ones on the cordia's and the two used on the MAD MAX black interceptor.....any thoughts????

Why is we always talk of balancing wheel/tyres, tailshafts/driveshafts, crankshafts, rods etc etc etc.......but never a brake rotor?????? It spins at the same rate as an axle, driveshaft.....maybe even faster than a crankshaft (after a certain speed) but no-one has ever mentioned or needed to balanc...

imagine the engine you could build for the cost of the alloy panels and even the new alloy panels would be subject to ADR's hint, have a read of NCOP regarding fibreglass panels, bonnets and guards can be approved but they need to have a minimum thickness of 3.5mm http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/r...
