Time for another update
I've just got back to Bris Vegas after 2 weeks holidays with the wife and kids down in Sydney. I got out to Big Gaz's for a short visit and took a few more pictures for an update. Whenever I go into the shed that the Shaguar is in I'm blown away by how low the car is. So this time I got Gaz to stand...

Doc I'm currently on holidays back in Sydney trying to get myself across to Big Gaz's to get some work done on the Shaguar. I've got some more pictures showing off the cage work and with one of the salt tyres mocked in position to check ride height / tub sizing / diff width / how tough it looks. IT ...

Big Gaz has sent some more pictures through so I've posted a few more up. They show some of the progress on the rollcage. The first photo shows the cage from the front of the engine looking back into the car: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i218/falcon351/47.jpg You can see the steering wheel has ...

Update on progress
I was down in Sydney last week to help Big Gaz out with the roll cage of the Shaguar. I hadn’t seen the car mocked up at ride height till then and let me tell you it is really @#$%en low! The roof of the car comes up to just under my belly button, or for those who prefer real dimensions 40 inches ta...

Wanna The auction is a truly unique event presided over by "Animal". Animal auctions off a range of quality merchandise and some crap as well while dancing around in his undies. This is typical behaviour for Animal as he spends the whole of Speed Week in his jocks alone (although this year I saw him...

DD Does this help? Using high octane fuel for an engine makes a difference when the engine is producing its maximum power. This will occur when the intake manifold has no air restriction and is running at minimum vacuum. Depending on the engine design, this particular circumstance can be anywhere al...

Rev I found a website a while back that looked to hold some promise: m You can register to gain access to a header design calculator that would likely be useful if you have a fair degree of info for your engine. It also contains some good theory. I've found some other calculators but they require mu...

Rev I think Don has the most correct answer. There is no way on the Jag to route the pipes any way apart from out the side of the car behind the front wheel but ahead of the door. The car will be tooooo low to do this any other way. So my answer to Big Gaz was get the primaries right and then the se...
