I have it on DVD Dennis

I'm sure this has been done before, but I'll go again.
I BLAME DENNIS, no not Silverton. I joined this site and tried the user name Terrano.... FAIL.
So I just added the NZ to the end so it would let me sign up. Found out that Dennis from Russia was a good guy, so I wasn't too bothered.
Now I'm on almost everything as TerranoNZ or my short user name "TNZ"
Even started a company called TNZ Development limited

That's right
Sorry Adam, I forgot all about you
I found my switch too, just need some wire

Nah, that's a noob shot compared with now

Finished the manifold for Nils in Norway
Today I made a spill tray for another customer, has to hold 2 44gal drums.
Underside with reinforcements, 2mm EG sheet.

me , I would rather carry offtourroadie96.... with that you have pretty much all you need !
I couldn't carry him and I'm damn sure he wouldn't fit in a pocket
Wallet, keys, cell, smokes and a Zippo.... Always.

If money is tight I'd be asking your boss if you can use the new one to make sliders with.
But it's your decision after all. Being a fabricator I tend to push people to better quality welders.
The most crucial thing to look for in a welder is duty cycle, not Amps.
a 120A welder with a 100% duty cycle will out perform a 200A that has a 50% duty cycle.
My pulse TIG is 200A I forget what the Duty cycle is, but at 150A it's 100%.
Very seldom I've used a TIG over 150A.
But again, Fabricator talking. So take my info like you would a race car driver telling you you need 500hp to drive to work

That's not a bad idea, my friend in Chicago did one of those, maybe I can steal what she read...
Would be cool to hear everyone's accents eh.
I think he purposfully kept from saying it infront of me...
you calling me unliterate?
Not at all, just couldn't think of anything NPORA could say on youtube.
Maybe a plug for the best forum ever

?
I know the brits pronounce it differently... Al-you-mini-um.
I pronounce it A-lou-min-um.
Brits and Kiwi's too
Actually you're a bit wrong. The briton accent is due to speeeking gaelic and having other languages introduced...ever hear english people sing? The accent dissapears completely...
And, Canadians say ab-out...not american a-bow-t. We also say roof and root, not NE american ruff and rutt. Which i always laugh at because they still say boot properly. And lets not even mention your louisiaaaaana or our east coasters
Agreed about the singing part, lead singer of ACDC is so hard to understand when he speaks
In NZ we say
Si-bar-oo Subaru
Nis-inn not knee-sarn
Can't think of any more.
I thought about doing a youtube vid a while ago with all of us reading.... something then cutting the clips together to make it seamless, but I never thought of something NPORA could read out
Not like we are saving the world, but it would be pretty cool to hear all the accents

UNCC is right, it's steel. Both of us know steel, it's what we do.

As for the wipers, it might be the front wiper amplifier, which is a brown box mounted on the firewall in the engine bay. You could probably get one of these for cheap from a junkyard.
2nded... Mine is playing up too.... Must get around to fixing it

All the way down in Dunners huh
Welcome to the family
Most here are helpful

Happy B-day Dave

Nice find LGM, has enough posts too
TerranoNZ pathetic flex at work.

Sounds like a vacuum leak, mine has one also, but mine is from idle. Annoys the crap out of me, haven't managed to track it down
-
When I did my old 88 it wasn't the lifters but the shaft that the rockers are mounted on. I'm sure you remember seeing this pic Adam.
Money permitting I'd do all lifters, rockers and shafts, it all depends on how crazy you want to go.
-
Well, yeah, you got me there
But it's not a how-to so... yeah Anyway, on some level I can fully understand why people won't stop, especially for me living where I live there's an inherent risk of some mob action one way or the other because it's easy enough to fire people up on the "oh, look, a foreigner, let's go get some of his money" mentality, so it's a risk. Mental issues though, people that have them shouldn't drive
Then again that'd mean all of us would have to stay home because I think we're all a slight bit crazy about pathy's and offroading 
And I'll apologise for going off like a raving lunatic, it's just this: people that know they're not good in those sorts of situations generally don't rubberneck either. They just keep going. If someone is going to slow down and rubberneck to see if they can spot some dead folks, or see some tragedy happening so they've got a story to tell; those are the ones that irritate me badly. Those are the people that should basically just grow a pair and stop, they'd have a better story to tell later on, on top of helping out some fellow people in need.
Anyway... *steps off his soapbox* ... let's just say this is one of those things that hits close to home, so I'm figuring it's best to sort of wrap this topic up. I shouldn't have posted it in the first place, but I'm not known to have good judgement when I'm really pissed
Back to the regularly scheduled off-topic banter
I don't see a problem with the topic, hopefully someone will load some first aid gear in their rig because of it.
Can't see the raving lunatic either
I believe that we have a similar law here in NZ as what Trailchaser was talking about. I know that if a member of the public calls for help and you do nothing you can get charged with something.

*ahem* *steps up on his lifted soapbox*
True with regards to the EMT training, not so true for being useless if you don't have it; even if you have no medical training, at all, if you're the first person at the scene of an accident you can be useful; call 911, check people to see what they're like, and talk to them. If someone else got there first, then you can always move debris, or park your car with emergency lights on (in a safe-ish spot), and go about 100 yards up the highway and start waving to get people to slow down.
My "standard" kit that I've had in all my cars (even a tiny little Hyundai) consisted of: 1 first aid kit (currently it's a huge first aid kit), 1 medium sized fire extinguisher (it's not going to put out a fire, but it'll give you enough room to yank people out of there), a few tow ropes (well, always useful), 2 belts (you know, for your pants. make decent tourniquets if you're in a hurry), 2 1.5 liter bottles of water, a crowbar, a maglite, two emergency triangle things (forgot what they're called in English...), and a red plastic tube that I can stick on top of the maglite to create an insta-traffic wand. Not saying everyone should carry kit like this, but having at the very least a small first aid kit, flashlight, and that insta-wand thing is going to be a lifesaver.
The brutal truth behind me being so adamant about this stop-and-help thing: A long time ago I witnessed an accident at night, was the first on the scene, and saw 4 people burn. I didn't have an extinguisher in my car at the time; the 6 or 7 other cars that passed might've had one, but they weren't interested in stopping. They just wanted to slow down to watch the carnage. And then move on.
You forgot to "make sure the scene is safe for you" But this isn't a how to so we'll let that one slide
I would stop and have done in the past, went to comfort a woman and it turned out I knew her.
I've done emergency first aid courses (required by some employers).
I guess some people that wouldn't stop are:
Fearful (accidentally killing someone, being robbed)
Aren't good in those type of situations (maybe mental problems).
See that some one's there and think that they have it under control.
I can understand why some may not stop, sure doesn't help you out there and then though.

MX-5 ... duh?
I "Would" say with out a doubt WD21, but I've seen pic's of Pezzy's R50 in some strange places, so props to that.
WD's do have the full frame so bars, hooks and skids are a more easy task to fit.
If you want something to abuse, and cope with it, get a WD
If you want the odd trip off road, but with comfort, get a R50.
