I think I remember someone asking about it recently. Found it yesterday on Kaideee.

Click on his name bottom of the blue links , lefthand side for his other stuff. No it's not me.

I'm always surprise to see how easy it is for foreign factory workers to get working permits that are easily renewed each year with minimum requirements, compare to normal foreigners who try to apply for working permits.

Apart from having to change their names every 4 years.

But yes the rich want an uneducated population to be their low paid exploited workers. Educated people that may change that aren't wanted here.

At least it allows them and their grown up spoilt children to believe that their business success is all down to their intelligence and hard work.

To get a better understanding of just how "hi-so" she and her family are - Google - Thailand royal names - According to Family Name Act, B.E.2465, Rama VI ordered that royal descendants who do not hold any title should append the words "Na Ayudhya" (ณ อยุธยา) to their surname, to signify they are descended from a royal blood line.

You have no idea about who her family are.

On the subject of digging. Does anyone know where to buy a garden fork in BKK?

I've only ever seen one in Thailand and I bought it at Global house Chonburi. It was actually the only one on the shelf and I don't think they have ever replaced it.

Honda City = young aristocracy.

Ok take your truck for a drive, your normal driving. Measure temperatures across the tyre. Adjust tyre pressures so the temperatures across the tyre are even as possible. Then decide if you prefer the optimum use of tyre contact patch or a comfier ride. If it is the latter start letting air out your tyres until you feel it is comfy enough.

So you had a car with more grunt than a cobra on a straight 400m piece of road.... thats awesome.

Did the dinosaur also eat up the Cobra out on the road through the twisty bits ?

Think you will find that the AC Cobra - as well as the Tiger - were not great handling cars.

Especially the Big Blocks in the AC. Very front heavy, lots of understeer - which could be compensated for with the throttle but still ...

Down the straights tho' - very quick.

TA's Poncho the same - wins by Big Torque and Good Traction

Shelby should have put a 1uz in it about 180 kgs lighter.

...................................................

(Yes I know he wanted a lighter engine before anyone jumps in).

The cobra chassis had naff all torsional stiffness one of it's biggest problems.

DELETED

Honda, Mazda, Dallara, Reynard? One dimension thinking, none of those are stock based oval cars but your one dimensional thinking doesn't work for you, none of them are in the oval track racing I'm speaking of.

Ah the other type of oval racing, not the oval type of racing where you have to get your chassis designed and built by Europeans and engines from Japan. I understand, not that oval racing the other oval racing. Anyway, one dimensional, is that like only turning one way ?

All the info in my link...The Cobra was a British hand made car with American engines in it's final guise .

Same as the GT40, my favourite car...

Waits for DELETED and the other Yanks to wake up.

Yeah, so your point is? DELETED See the post above yours? Been awake for some time prior to your post. Besides still an American car company that paid for and approved the project and it's engineering and provided the power, it would have never happened without them and if it could have, why didn't it? No one disputes the fact that Europe was more into sports cars then the US manufacturers at the time in regards to races like LeMans that gap has closed considerably though, but it stands to reason as a manufacturer determined to win as Ford was you go where the experience is at the time, but when they put their best foot forward against the best in Europe, they succeeded. Where do you think most of the cars that run in oval track racing in Europe come from? And their technology? That's correct, it'd be from here along with drag racing as well..

Oh gawd, it was just a joke about the expected US v UK debate.

I actually started posting the post before you posted, but that's how long it can take to load a page on this site now, as why I hardly use it now.

Anyway on your last point on oval racing do you mean like Reynard, Lola, Dallara, Honda and Mazda ?

Certainly on those wheels, axle width would be wrong for the offsets of those crap wheels. Not to mention the roll bar.

I think the post was a whoosh though.

Well it's definitely a 1uz-fe engine, although they don't come as standard with that power, is he accounting for better exhausts.

Is it a cut in 2 crown chassis ? Although the axle looks like it has leaf spring mounts. Brake master cylinder says Nissan.

Is that a home made rod end a bolt thread welded to a tube ?

An independent suspension gearbox, rubber doughnut not sliding joint being used with a live axle ?

Nylocs ?

Interesting front coilover mounts.

Rear spring/ dampers are they leaned back ?

Where is the other end of the panhard rod ?

Take a look around the 20 bhat shops in town, theres a huge one in my nearest town, loads of stuff i bet you could sell in a village shop for 25 to 30 baht.

Good call, thanks bud

Try Thai Mart as well if there is one around there.

What about cheap wholesale T-shirts, clothes ?

Wholesale mobile phone top ups ?

The fortuner highest weight model is almost 2.2 tonne. It can carry 7 adults and a bootfull , around 3 tonne in total (tried to search for it's max weight), 29 -30 psi ? 50 yes too high, teaches me not to post when tired. (pun intended for the Americans), 29 -30 for that weight and highway speed driving ?

Remember this a car/ truck where the manufacturer only sold it in countries that didn't require crash testing presumably to skimp on costs same as fitting drums and cart springs, don't be surprised if those seemingly low pressures are as said to cover up the poor ride.

Has anyone actually taken temperatures across the tyre ?

The bridgestone thing is that for passenger cars and SUV's, light trucks ?

My V60 (16xx kg) plate says 41 psi on the rear with 5 people at 160 up, 38psi with 3 people below 160.

Guess I won't be buying Bridgestones.

Is this the rear disks and coil spring model if not that would be a place to start.

Before anyone starts yes I know converting rear drums to disks is pretty pointless on most cars, but drums on a 2 tonne truck can only be approved on.

You could try a twin coil spring set up to cope with the weight and varying weight it can carry.

30 psi for a 2 tonne (near enough) truck seems low, maybe Toyota recommend this to try and cover up (soften) how bad the ride is on these things. Like someone said 40 to 50 psi I would have thought on something this heavy.

walv nahm means water valve. It's simply the Thais trying to say valve with their letters.

This will give you an starting idea of the IVA.

There is some classics here that are very hard to find in the UK and at a reasonable price.

Of course there is lots of old Japanese rear wheel drive cars here which have a following in the UK but were only ever in small numbers there and most rusted away years ago.

Then of course with all the rear wheel drive cars there is a market for them in drifting and classic and club rallying, club circuit racing, all as above as to why people want them.

As for importing into the UK it would have to go through the IVA test, this is the problem. Research it yourself to see how difficult it is.

VAT and Import tax need to be paid.

Not done it myself.

200k extra tax to be slapped on this soon I take it ?

Cars lose their value fast here ? Step away from the chang and turn the computer off.

BMW's the world over lose value after 6-8 or so years because the repair bills are so high.

Over here with the parts needing to be imported the costs will be higher.

Many older Bmw's and mercs here have Toyota engines.

I don't think he has had it that long.
