Does anyone know if the autometer electric speedos can be dissasembled without breaking them to replace the backing/face with a custom design? Are they held together with screws or have they been glued tight so that people don't mess with them? Andrew

I went with a TCI Outlaw. I prefer the pistol-grip and the black cover. A mate of mine used the B&M Pro Ratchet but I didn't like the fact that I'd have to ratchet twice between Reverse and Park (since the gap is twice as far). The TCI Outlaw is not a ratchet shifter. The way I worked out...

Does anyone in QLD do valve body mods to make the auto gearbox (a341e) full manual so it doesn't need wiring etc - I heard a rumor that someone in South Australia does. Andrew

Hey, the system I'm going to do is 2.25" each side through 2 high-flow magnaflow cats, then to a Y-pipe into a 2.5" single system out a muffler. Mine's the non-vvti engine though. The reason I've chosen this system is... - being n/a I don't want to loose torque by going too large - I'd rather...

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna have to wait til I get the exhaust done before I can tell for sure. There's probably nothing wrong. Once it's properly warmed up it seems fairly good - actually pretty quiet too up until about 2000rpm, and then it just gets stupidly loud. A friend of mine came over...

Should the 1UZ still be rediculously smooth with no exhaust at all? It's not running all that smooth, and when I've driven it, it hasn't had great power. I've got the engine out of a 91 soarer running in a 1981 hilux. All I've got to go before it's on the road is exhaust (and mod plate)...

I realised I haven't taken a photo of what we did for the tailshaft... I bought a one-piece tailshaft from a 4wd hilux since it has the slip-yoke. We then took the flange from the soarer tailshaft and joined it to the flange from my original 2wd tailshaft at 140mm long to make a bolt-on...

Mostly because of a lack of money, it's taken me just over a year, but I'm nearly finished putting a 1UZ and auto gearbox into my 1981 Hilux. All that's got to go now is to wire the gauges and thermofans, and exhaust. I'm going to stick to a fairly quiet exhaust system (2 x 2.25" through high...
