I'm really interested in watching this one as I've pulled appart the front of my engine a few times, and currently not running an A/C compressor. I'm trying to get my head around the pics. Can you describe the route that the belt will take? Will it be, crank -> Alternator -> PS pump ->...

Do we copy and paste the list, or can Rod edit his first post at the top of the page? (and add me)

I'm in! Its around the corner from my place, so I can help out with eskies/coke (or beer) etc. Is there going to be more hats? I've lost mine :(

Mine was just missing the brake booster, I could get a piece of paper between them, as the motor rocked with torque it moulded its own custom depression into the brake booster.

I love hearing about the Micsa aircraft :) How many have you built now? How many orders do you have? Does it have a NAME?

Tomo, which headers are they? They don't look like the "log style" ones I had to switch to. I think I'm now using the Soarer headers. Those ones look like the crown headers to me. I think these block huggers still come out from the block further than the log style soarer ones.

I might have one or two lying around if you'd like to try it (as long as you pick it up, I'm not a big fan of post offices). Problem is for the propper affect you'd need to disable the mechanical one, that means taking apart the front of the engine and destroying the impellor pump. I wouldn't...

I've always had a desktop at home, and a laptop at work (for the past 6 years). I've NEVER had a problem with laptop stability. All my laptops have been IBMs and although the HDD is a bit slower thats really the only difference. Running dual screens from my laptop was great as I could have my...

What specifically do you need to plug in?

Great result (272kms/hr)! What RPM is it cruising at? Hows the fuel economy?

My car has around 146rwkw. My dyno form is on my website.

Not much room unless you want to give away aircon and powersteering and put the battery in the back. Double wishbone front suspension is nice, but it takes up a lot of room.

If you replace the standard bearings on the pulleys and the cambelt idler bearings (2 just above the crank pulley) you'll get better performance. Its one of the 150,000kms service things to do that most people don't do. Its like the question which is the better performance oil. Regular oil...

Some people have put the hydrollic line in a loop so it just doesn't go anywhere. It seems to work. Crown engines don't have a hydrollic fan (IIRC), they have a fixed fan which can be unbolted. http://www.v8supra.com/v.jpg This shows how I did it. and I use a Davies Craig thermo fan...

From the site, looks like they're using MAP sensors for load.

Can't believe how well the 1UZ Supra section has taken off! I'd love to add some more 1UZ Supras to my site if anyone is interested.

Was a good get together. Well worth the trip. I even washed the supra! Poor supraclub guys didn't get a washed supra (dropped into their meet on the way down to canberra, they didn't know what a 1UZ was. Poor buggers)

I don't think I can make 10am from Sydney (I'm not an early person), but I'll still try and make the BBQ. Eddy, I'll probably call you when I hit Canberra to see where you guys are. Peter 0408 235547

This is awesome! Can you give us some more info or do you have a website of your build? Where are you located? What sort of range will it have? What fuel will it be running? I've had a look into a few build-it-yourself planes, but none have been very suitable to the 1UZ. This one...

I'm in for a canberra meet!
