G'Day Mike, I seem to remember being taught that force equalled pressure x area or am I being too simplistic with this. Regards, Mike L. ... From: Mike Polan ...

When I bought my little 135 welder, it came with .025 wire. I learned to weld using this stuff, and I finally ran out. I mistakenly bought .035 wire, only to...
Build it they way you want but make it safe. I am a fan of the v8 rumble and torque, and even though I am using a 2.3lima turbo I have made space for a v6/v8...
Hi Chris, I'm no pro, but having used the thicker wire and the .025, my preference is the .025. There seems to be better control as you can always turn up the...
... Winston, It's your thing, do what you want to do. There are commercially produced V8 Sevenesque cars, so you're not swimming against the current entirely....
.035 tips will work. You'll just need to adjust your wire speed according down. There is probably a table showing the suitable speed somewhere on your welder...

Thanks to everyone who has expressed support, and even to those who have expressed their dismay! Naysayers can provide just as much motivation as supporters :)...

Hi Winston, I presume you will drive the MR2 when you want a "handling" car and the "monster" when you wand the straight line grunt???. Cheers, Tricky H. ...
Hi Paul, Just shows what living in the US can do to lad even with a good upbringing in AUS - and Brisbane where I live of all places. As you say - a fool and...
Hi Winston, There is a company here in AUS that produces a 7 and has now produced a V8 powered version in conjunction with GM who did the body styling. The 2...

Hi Ed, They must be easily "played" as they are "Building a Sportscar for 250 quid" Just like the rest of us.;-)) Cheers, Tricky H. Aussie GAZshocks ...
What you end up with is sort of like a track t with British styling and better handling. Weight-wise you're not too far from a Cobra, but body wise it's apples...
