There were two problems, one with the slave not being 100% seated and the other with the spacing relative to the travel. I had to add another 6mm plate to give...

Great looking Cobra. I am busy with one at the moment and would be very chuffed if it looks half as nice as yours. Rgds Johnno

Here is another great looking piece of machinery. 2.8l - 400bhp @ 10,000rpm. I think it started out life as 2 x Hiyabusa's on a common crank. Big bucks though at around US$28,000...... www.H1V8.com

Thank you Andrew, I have been searching and getting some results from looking at photos on the forum. Should be firing it up next week so I'm hoping it's going to make all the right noises. Thanks for your input. Johnno

Hi Everyone, Can anyone help with information regarding all the pipes and tubes on my engine. What can I remove and what do I have to connect. I will not have any heater or aircon. Seems to be a lot of little pipes and tubes, can't all be for the idle system??? Thank you, Johnno

I had a flywheel made up to take the standard ring gear off the Lexus flex plate. It worked out heavier than I would have liked, measuring about 10kgs. Will have to wait and see how it performs......... Clutch & pressure plate is Toyota Cressida.

Here is my car after it's paint job. VW Black magic with General Motors Blaze Red stripes. Johnno

Thanks Karl, At this stage the wallet determines that it will stay NA. I would like to put throttle bodies though, for looks more than anything. Drivetrain is not for big bhp anyway, should be good for 350bhp at the most. If all works out well I will build another with supercharger, supra box...

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and currently building Backdraft Roadster with 1UZ-FE motor mated to a Hilux manual gearbox. Suspension is BMW E36. I will post a few images of progress and would look forward to anyones comments. Regards Johnno
