Happy new year cunts!
Was thinking what kind of roo bar would complete the look but don't think anything would fit well. The US cop cars had push bumpers but nothing bigger than that.
currently with an exhaust shop to replace the severely rusted out exhaust with a h-pipe and 20 inch mufflers on both pipes, as well as an o2 sensor bung for the carb cheater. even though it was a short drive it was very fun.
got pulled over for an rbt and none of the cops gave a shit that it had no plates. when he saw me trying to pull my loicense out he told me to not bother O.o

Honestly, push bars were relatively uncommon until the 80's. Maybe the big departments in cities like NY would have something but most departments were broke so their rig was minimal at best.

Also, needs to be black and white.

>>28795485
yeah the only ones ive seen for that year model either have two tall fat posts with rubber stuck into the bumper, or a thin piece of steel bar (looks to be the size of a piece of steel rebar) bent into a square upside down U shape which looks like it wouldn't even nudge a car without bending.
technically speaking, it is black and white. ok, maybe ivory/cream.

IMO,none. If anything, the two vertical bars so it looks like a push start setup for your racecar. I'd be more inclined to search eBay for the proper wheelcovers.

I actually had the original 14 inch wheels with those wheel covers. I swapped them out for the 15 inch police wheels and hubcaps they used on the 80s cop cars. Gave me better options for tyres, plus the 14s just looked tiny in those wheel wells since there doesn't seem to be any mega fat sidewall options in that size.

>>28794786
It's really strange how so few 70s and 80s cars are around compared to in the US. Seems like you will still see an old Caprice or Buick daily over there but I've probably only ever seen that kind of Dodge here just once.

>>28800675
i think it depends on where you are too. a guy that used to work at the sydney branch of my company relocated to the brisbane branch and he was telling me how there's a lot more people that daily a classic up there, or at least don't hide it away just for the weekend.
also probably the ride quality...they slap on 19 and 20 inch simmons wheels then probably bitch about how harsh it rides lol

>>28800720
I don't just mean that, but also local cars like Fords and Holdens. They all seemed to vanish by the 2010s. Even mid 90s Commodores are really rare, the only one I ever see is my grandpas VP Commo.

Honestly they're a good candidate for EV if you just want to cruise the beaches. The original motors are pretty shit unless you really know what you're doing, the gearboxes don't shift well, they're slow and noisy. I love them, but for someone who just wants the look then an EV is a solid option.

finally got the exhaust done. a guy rocked up to get some stuff done for his van I think, turns out he was also into mopars and now i've got a wrenching buddy. he saw the carb cheater and was very curious about it, he knew about it but wanted to see how good it was. Wanted to record a data log but the phone got too hot and it closed the app RIP.
Wanted a H pipe but they put in an X pipe...bah. Important thing is, it's so much quieter, but you can hear it when you're romping on it.

>carb cheater
Is it useful? Heard a bit about them, seem pretty cool

>>28801183
Unfortunately yes, only the last two years of production were galvanised which helped a whole lot. But before that they just fall apart so quick.

>>28801186
VERY useful. tacho, vacuum AFR gauges and optional gps speedo all in one, with data logging 5 times a second. iirc you can record up to five 3-minute logs and you can view it in the app, on the carb cheater website, or offline.
You can use their own display which has a smaller screen than a galaxy a11, or download the app on any android phone. if you wanted you could just buy some cheap burner phone to do that with.
i was able to dial the idle vacuum to about 18.5 inHG which was about as good as i could. I might be missing something but I dunno. Pretty sure the timing was set to 12 degrees too, if not 10. AFR was floating around 13.5-7 idling. I think the WOT circuit or whatever it was called was around mid 12s to 13, briefly saw it while I was driving since I didn't have a phone mount.
but I really do love how I can see all this shit as I'm driving.

>>28801192
Yeah tuff. Sounds pretty handy. What motor, 383?

>>28801198
ya. it makes a pretty loud ticking/tapping noise at idle but it might be the fuel pump cam thingy or valvetrain noise. Seemed to quiet down a lot after driving it for a bit, or whenever I'm on the accelerator.

>>28801192
ahh ok I just looked it up and the data logging feature is currently app only. dunno if it will become available via their own display. up to five logs can be stored for up to 30 days, I'm assuming it'll overwrite a log (oldest? or maybe it lets you pick, I dunno yet) if there's already five.

>>28801203
Might need a new set of lifters if they're hydraulic, or if they're solid then set your clearances. Got an oil pressure gauge?

>>28801237
nah no oil pressure gauge, just the idiot light which stays off once the engine turns over. Seems like this engine uses hydraulic tappets.

>>28801278
Due for an oil change soon? Put a cup full of diesel in the motor, run it til its hot, then dump the oil. Works as an oil flush but better than the bottle stuff from the shops.
If it still ticks after that change, then prob new lifters. No big deal pretty easy job

>>28801283
definitely due for an oil change. it's sat for at least a year and a half with the same oil and i'm starting to drive it more and more on the same oil. I know I really shouldn't...but it's so fun to drive...
>then prob new lifters. No big deal pretty easy job
oh great. will ask wrenching buddy next time i'm over there, he's been working on some crazy sbc build so i'm sure he's got the tools for it.

>>28801289
Ooh yeah definitely needs a change then. Just give it a flush with the diesel like I said and see what happens. Chances are it'll be fine

>>28797531
Are they off a Dodge Diplomat?

>>28801305
dunno. i just know that they're the police hubcaps and wheels for the 74-89 chryslers, and that i really, really like the look of them. it was hard to decide whether to paint them body colour or no, but in the end, black steelies won out. these are oem wheels because the reproductions apparently don't hold the hubcap as well so they tend to fall off. and these hubcaps aren't cheap anymore either.

>>28801303
i'll give it a shot. the engine was rebuilt though. apparently whoever built it prior to that used mismatching pushrods...dunno if the lifters/tappets were replaced though.

>>28801312
>police hubcaps and wheels for the 74-89 chryslers
Yeah that'd be the Dodge Diplomat AKA Plymouth Gran Fury.

Pretty sure I have one single of those hubcaps kicking around in my shed somewhere, or could have been the one without all the holes.

she absolutely will, but doesn't matter. women are big children, that's how they play. anyone who associates with her probably aint worth your time neither.

>>28801441
She will, but remember; Nobody hates women more than other women. One of her friends WILL hook up with you just to piss her off.

If yer just looking for a night of fun, then by all means oblige her and laugh at the fireworks later.
Alternatively, you can politely decline her, saying shit like you wanting something more meaningful and long term.
That'll travel, too ;)

>>28801447
>She was really nice
Ah, I see. Well... If that's the case then all she'll tell is the truth :\
If whatever that truth is, doesn't hurt your future prospects, then no worries.

If it does, then... I'm afraid my >>28801428 doesn't hold as much water, and it unfortunately falls to you to examine what caused this and seek to change it WITHOUT looking for her back.
She'll either see it and respond, or won't. But never, EVER be the one that asks for it back. Start afresh with another nice lass before doing that.

You could have a 2006 cv8 monaro with 150-200k km for the same price as pic related with 40-60k km.
Safe to say boomers know what they got if they are asking those prices for a 20 year old car.

CarMate have bodykit parts for older Pulsars. Most of their stuff looks pretty dated, but they do a copy of the factory kit on an old Mazda I like. Maybe you'll like something of theirs.

the xf overheated a few days ago, thought it was headgasket but oil ended up looking fine. pulled the thermostat out and the radiator fix shit the boomercunt before me had dumped into it instead of just putting a new rad in had clogged up the jiggle pin so its not opening/closing. the whole unit was in sideways too and is 6d colder than spec. hopefully thats all it is.
there was a whole clump of that orange shit nearly entirely covering the green plastic

radiator flush gun from super cheap auto. pulse the trigger when the cooling system is full of water. blasted out a lot of gunk from my radiator with it. not all, but enough to let the car drive on the highway for much, much longer without overheating.

All this talk of radiators reminded me that my local shop closed down after 80 years in business last month.
They were great and old school and cheap, just a big shed with welding equipment and a tank of water and stuff, had all these old hand tools. And the guy was very friendly.
Last radiator I had cleaned there, he took the tanks off, flushed/cleaned it all out, welded the tanks back on, even gave it a quick paint. Was like, $200.

>>28823367
there used to be one fairly close to me in a pretty run down house/shack sort of building. Sounded kinda similar to your one actually. I still remember walking in there one day and seeing a customer's holden apollo in there, I think it was the first time I ever saw one in person.
There's still some around the place, a shop quoted me 250 bucks to clean mine out if I brought the radiator to him which I'm definitely gonna do. Seemed like he was annoyed with giving quotes to classic car owners that never followed through lol

I moved out of town to the sticks so I have to go into the post office for everything now, I did a double take the other day when I saw one of these getting around.

>>28823298
this fixed it im pretty sure. its pretty hot here today, took it for a drive and by the end i was flogging it and it didnt go above middle. i know yous all know this but please dont do the cheap easy fix on a car especially if you are about to sell it. its cheap for a reason
he also had an 83 degree thermo in it when it needs 89 minimum and it was in backwards.
>>28823350
ill drive it a bit longer and make sure its ok then ill do this. cant imagine the shit thats in there after i seen the thermostat lol

>>28823599
yeah my radiator had a decent amount of rust flakes in the top tank. tried to just hose it out with a regular garden hose but they were too heavy and kept settling. flush gun blasted them right out but couldn't do much for the blocked tubes unfortunately.

>>28823639
blocked tubes as in heater/rad hose or the water jacket itself?

the radiator core. i shone a light through the filler neck and some of the holes were plugged up. Tried using a pick to see if I could dislodge it but that was about as effective as a sewing needle against a charging elephant

>>28823701
yeah right fair. first thing i done was change the radiator with a new one once i worked out it was fucked so my rads fine now
top tank as in a gm car? fords have the tanks on the sides

zozzle cops chasing a bike earlier tonight. probably doing 1 over the limit or something.
anyway, bike rev bombs a dump truck as he [the bike] rolls through a red (not sure if he was warning people he was rolling through), and the truck starts honking quickly, dunno what happened before, i like to think that the truck was telling him to fucking run but who knows. in any case cops aren't too far behind. then two cars turning right completely ignore the blaring sirens and lights, then a camry also cuts off one of the chasing cops.
good fucking luck trying to catch a bike though.

fml. took my radiator to that shop to get it cleaned and they did, the inside looks all nice and clean...but i think they just dipped it in acid only or something like that. thought they'd remove the tanks and rod the tubes out, but i can still see some rust flakes clogged up inside two tubes through the filler neck. also turns out the radiator cap i got was bad apparently. not even a month old RIP. Oh well 5 bucks so didn't hurt too bad.
I should've figured the shop wasn't gonna take it apart to rod out because when I asked them if they were gonna rod it out they just said "we'll clean it"

>>28831061
repco one? i bought one for my falcon that had japanese writing all over it for some reason. failed to open to the overflow tank after about a month too

>>28832251
nah motorad from rockauto. made in mexico (the other, OG mexico)
i'd be surprised if i could get a rad cap from repco for that cheap. I had a spare thankfully, hopefully it was just a dud but if this one fails too, I've got a tridon cap I got from supercheap...not cheap though. 17 bucks RIP

>Holden developed a turbocharged fuel injected inline 6 for the torana in the 70s but GM confiscated and destroyed it.

>>28832333
i replaced the repco one with a tridon too and it held on for about 20k kms before i killed the car. 17$ isnt really that much lol especially if it means not overheating ur car
>>28832337
ford did the same thing with the twin turbo crossflow in the 80s. i think they were intentionally trying to kill aussie manufacturing. idk why though most of our cars were well received worldwide. maloos and monaros were sold in the UK as vauxhalls even

what the fuck is going on, why are there so many cunts driving on the wrong side of the road and running red lights?

>>28832339
>17$ isnt really that much lol especially if it means not overheating ur car
a very good point. I've spent 10 bucks on these two caps as well so if the tridon one lasts a lot longer then it's paid for itself and then some.
