I think there's about 3 in ACT

Saw this advertised in Victoria in case someone was interested in the grill or other parts. Grill is selling for $15, 0 bids so far. About 2 days to go: http://www.ultraparts.com.au/auction/2925610/Holden_Isuzu_Piazza_Turbo_Grill/ "UP FOR SALE IS A BLACK 1986 HOLDEN/ISUZU PIAZZA TURBO GRILL WIT...

I found this site to compliment Chris's comments re USA timeline:

Thanks for that. I'll look into it.

Handy info there guru wedgenut. Should I bother with putting the shim (& the adhesive/sealant that came with it) up FS? I mean we are talking about a specialized part now, not OEM. Doesn't even worry me if I don't. I don't even know what they're worth these days. Sorry sbs. We've really gone off...

Thank m8. It sounds like we've also hijacked sbs's post too.

You could be right buddy re copper. I thought of copper before posting, but wasn't sure. It's about 3mm thick. Isn't copper expensive these days? I actually had it made for specifically increasing boost, didn't know about special de-compression plates. There you go. I've been out of the game for so ...

Me too. I'm with you buddy.

I have a solid custom brass (i think it's brass) gasket if anyone wants one. It was made to de-compress the motor for higher boost applications. Also handy if the block and head have been machined and you want to bring back the compression ratio to factory specs. It was one of the last things I boug...

Oh yeah. It adds so much more class. Coming from an Industrial Design background I would say it compliments the unique design of the car. By the way good photo Piazzish. Thanks.

BTW are the side skirts and the rest of the spoiler items Lotus spec?

Most likely the pygamas version Good modeling though. Is it the same as the Fujimi that Isu069 talked about?

Yeah a photo would be handy, and it would no doubt look freskin' awesome. Edit: I got excited and didn't read the rest of your post. The red car looks good, but not the best photo. What do you think? Pity about all that junk at the front of his car. Not a good look. http://img820.imageshack.us/img82...

Yeah, I know where your coming from mate. Your heart's in the right place. I appreciate you trying to cheer me up. Nothing like some sarcasm and junior to change the mood. I guess you do these cars for the love/passion not for monetary value. Like just about any other car I guess. You just don't get...

I originally put it up for $13,000. Got no where. Then down to $7000, which nearly got sold (long story). It eventually sold to a guy in Sydney...wait for it... for a princely sum of $3000 cash . He promised not to ring up or complain if something went wrong later if I accepted the offer. I took it ...

It has to be a manual if I get one for starters. How much do you think I sold my car for back in '98? have a guess.

I suppose the whole point about this thread is to inject some fresh ideas and to really make these things stand out. *eyecon smells another show car/magazine spread coming on*
