After you remove the balance shafts what do yo do with them? Has anyone found a sensible use or does someone actually want them?

but its an engine part "officer" it belongs in the car :roll: :roll: :oops:

Well, if you add it to the 20/30 tonnes of scrap metal that used to be cars at my mates place, you'd probably get a reasonable 5c :D

or...something similar to what larace said...hope you like!

I've thought about the floodlights mounted to the back of the car before. Travelling down the F3 freeway everynight you always seem to get retards that don't know how to turn their highbeams off.

Id take mistaking your sigalant for a datsun as a compliment there is NOTHING tougher than a datsun on full song!

You would say that... as it would only take us half throttle to over take the 1200, so your've probably never heard one at full noise ;)

(some fighting words back at ya :lol: - fun & games )

I supose you sigalastronophiles would say somthing like that (just stick a big MOPAR sticker on the back) but I stand by what I said "there is nothing like a datsun on full song" I`v yet to hear or see a mistu. six on 3x45`s and cam. My datsun sounds pretty damn good (a lot better than my scorp/turbo) but it doesnt set off car alarms like the scorp.

any inline 6 with triple webers sound good, datsun 6's have a god awful sounding valve train

My little 208 holden with triple 48's had a wicked induction roar

As for nothing sounding better than a datto @ full noise, id say tune your ears to a 500+ci ford big block @ 7500rpm you'll find that the datto sounds like nothing

WELD THEM ALL YOU HAVE TOGETHER AND PUT A LETTERBOX (OR A LIGHT) ON TOP, PUT IT OUT FRONT AND LET THE POSTIE AND THE LOCALS HAVE A GOOD LAUGH.
WHY SHOULD CRANKSHAFT'S HAVE ALL THE GLORY.
