From: Bill McBride <wmcbride@...> Subject: RE: Hi Peter What happened? Why are you selling your toy? Cheers Bill Hi Bill, A few options (new...
Just wondered if I could finally have this nagging question "put to bed". Depending on which technical book I read or exhaust installer I talk with, the...
My understanding of this is that with a Turbo car the lower the back pressure the better as it allows the turbine to spin up faster and at lower RPM. With...
Hi Les, Right or wrong, this is my understanding of exhaust back pressure... As the exhaust valve opens and the exhaust gases head down the exhaust pipe they...
Les, Naturally there is also a point where the bigger you go, the less you gain. A given size engine will only pump out so much exhaust gas, so if you go...

Hello All Does anyone out there have drawings for a front torsion/roll bar for a book Locost? I would really appreciate copies of a well sorted one. Am...
One of the David Vizard books gives a rule of thumb that exhaust pipe diameter for engine sizes up to 2 litres should be under 2 inches - however I think this...
Saw there was a bit of discussion on the locost list (english list) about 3 wheelers, & how this may be some peoples next project. Anyway it reminded me of my...

Thanks to you all (Bill, Phil,Miko,Mat & Daren)I hope everyone else learned as much as me. As a matter of interest, I run a toyota 3SG-E (2ltr twin cam) ...
I would have though 2.25 would be a good size for such motor, and probably have good scope if you want to improve further down the track :) Not sure about the...
Hi all I have spent the last two days puting in around 1,000 rivets fitting the floor and side panels etc, use some Sikaflex as well. Posted a few bad pics in...
Hey Ian, How's your wrists, or did you have access to an air riveter? good feeling to see the panels in place isn't it. Regards, Mike. ... From: Ian Rusch To:...
Hi Mike I am sure my Right hand and wrist are a lot stonger now, no air power just brute force. It is starting to look moore like a car or boat with the panels...
G'Day Mate, We left the two engine bay panels off until we finished the wiring, worked out well, bitch of a job with them in place. Warren and I finished our...

Mike half your luck on finishing your cars I can not waite to do the same. I have had all the wiring in and connected before I primed the frame prior to gluing...
Hi mephis (or whatever your real name is!) According to one guy in the ACT motor registry there are 15 Locost/Clubbies currently under way in Canberra. I know...

I want to fit a T-piece so that I can have a mechanical oil pressure gauge, AND keep the warning light. There is limited room on my 4AGE for a T-piece on the...
... I'd first check with your engineer if a "mechanical" oil gauge is legal at all. I think they aren't legal because of the possibility of oil squirting into...
