Corvair Forum

Any updates Kevin?

Cheers,

Brian

I've taken a few dashes apart and there were four or five dried up brittle globs of beige stuff the size of a looney (Cdn $1 coin) What are you guys using to adhere the aluminum to the plastic dash backing--if anything--before re-installing? I'm thinking a couple strips of double sided tape to preve...

Good info 4carbcorvair...thanks for the coil spring link.

Here's mine with BMW 5 series 15x7" honeycombs with 225/60R15 Pirellis (Not true after market, but never came equiped on a vair )...

Good man, thanks for the quick reply!

I don't see the option to upload??

Thanks guys, never thought about those H spacers...good idea. And yeah it handles well now, just want a bit of that...nose down look...to my eyes it gives that "je ne sais quoi" to LMs.

Where's the nose down smiley?

Hi all, I bought HD springs all around for my LM vert from Clarks. They lower the ride height, ok in the front but looking for higher ride height in the back.

Any of you bought HD springs from somewhere else that give the stock or a little bit higher ride height in the back?

Glamis...one place I've pegged for a vacation...Thanks Matt 8-)

I replaced the one on my '66 with a Clarks. Well its a clutch cable...doesn't look as strong as laundry cable...so we'll see next year I suppose (BTW - I'm in the GWN).

If it fails, I'm going chain.

Wow, I thought 0-60mph would be faster with a 140. Well, I like the tail pipes on it anyway, thanks for posting the article Kevin.

Me goes running for a 350 (A la Mel[Marv]) :lol:

That Honda 700 story...well..keep it for when it's really slow around here. ;)

Sorry Kevin, wasn't trying to come off as anal. Lorne Greene...well he's cool...a "Peter Jennings" (Another Canadian) on Canadian radio in and around WWII. Then the Bonanza and Battlestar Galactica...well it's all neat stuff. I'll happily remember the war/radio/NRC films that I've seen him...

Lorne Greene. We Canadians are touchy about our homegrown heroes. :mrgreen:

Hey Phil, how 'bout more info on the team, the different setup/stuff needed for both events (El Mirage - Bonneville). And if you have time some "been there done that" stuff the rest of us wouldn't know unless we tried. 8-)

Great sideshow Matt! So tell us about the performance and handling. To me what is interesting is 4-stroke clean burning, 20/30 years before that was "cool" to do.
