Re33pa, new toys...

[splitbus]

I like the lovely Split Bus Nose curve we are getting at the top where the quoted person's names appear....

Nice try Andy..but I'm seeing this quote box chain to the last link...
ps Doc...Turn on your spell checker..

We just made it , it's now a 23 window, started out as a panel , but now it's a 23, I don't think the purists will like this, they'd call it a "hack"

What happens now, o that is what happens

[D-Train]

not overly happy with my beam,
i contacted Geoff to do me a new one, super pleased with the new beam, all pulled out and put back in in half a day,
was happy with the original height but was too low, so adjusted it and all good now...
Thanks to Geoff for building me a new one and all the info and Lewis for lending a hand gettin the adjustments right....

Lined up the wheels by eye and had 24mm toe in between both of them, thought i did ok, it was an even 12mm on each side..

sway bar had to be flipped, it sat about 15mm off the ground...


nip an tuck

Lauren bought me a Berg shifter for xmas as well.. so pleased with that..

(thanks Luke as well)

[coastal kombi]

Finally comin around mate...... looks the goods.
What ya doin with your old beam??? Ginge might be interested.

[GFresh]

Gettin down Dion

the first pic looks awesome

[FrankenCab]

see if you narrowed the beam even more you wouldn't need a swaybar. and junked the irs it would be lighter and get it even lower .
Very nice though mr reepa's grass cutting service and grave digging

[flamed splitty]

r u still using dropped spindles on the new beam? I've got a narrowed beam and dropped spindles off understated and they do look very good, haven't had a drive with this set up yet though.

[beerdoc]

Man that thing is a piece of shit

Lauren has got great taste in Shifters and buses

See ya soon guys

[D-Train]

was neglecting the old girl and now it was time to finally do what ive been putting off..

Dynamat=dynamite!!!!




so much quieter and the doors sound wicked now, thuds instead on slam an drum..
dynalined the roof as well as all the walls/floor/front...

many thanks to brad again for his help on it.

I need to do this to my Panel.
Not to make your job seem silly but I was talking to a mate the other day who sells Dynamat and he says while plastering it all over the car is the ultimate in sound reduction pieces of it used strategically have a dramatic effect.
Apparently when they first brought it out they brought 2 metal garbage bins to his shop with a horn built into a lid that could be put over the top of them.
One had no damping and the other only had Dynamat on the bottom, nowhere else.
When they sounded the horn in the undamped bin it sounded like a grenade had gone off in the bin and just about deafened everyone.
When they sounded it in the bin with the damped bottom there was just a "thud".
My mate says a reasonable square of it on a panel can have almost the same effect as sticking it all over the metal.
Just a thought.

i think the man. recom. is 30% coverage.

[warb]

go hard, i plastered mine, never looked back, still need to do the cab floor tho.

[kombi1976]

How many boxes did you use, Dion?

[bulliboy]

i think the man. recom. is 30% coverage.

You get 90 % benefit from 25 % coverage! Makes the last 10 % expensive.

Takes about 5 boxes to cover all surfaces! I did mine progressively and each bit made a difference.

The first few boxes covered the engine bay and the roof and most of the sides of my panel.Rest covered the floors and doors and nose.

I reckon whatever gives you the level of quiet you want is good.So if 30% coverage works go for it.5 boxes is about $1k if you order from the states bit more locally.
