new throttle pedal and update today i modified the throttle to fit into my ute. basically i used the original pedal mount and welded a new end on it to fit the toyota cable and ferrule. On the pedal end i used the the lexus plasitc pedal and welded it to the original mount. so in the end i had...

manifold pics manifolds. butt weld bends and thick wall pipe. you can see why i had to route the 4th primary where i did, steering shaft (bit of alloy rod for the moment) doesnt leave much room. you can also see the engine mount and x/member mount. happiness is a mig welder!

finished manifolds reworked the right manifold and tidied up the left one. bit of paint to stop them rusting. clearance is tight but as good as it can be. the left one is a bit shorter to accommodate the turbo on the left. On the right i could use a bit more room, no point making it harder than...

right manifold this manifold took me about 7hrs to this stage. lots of work went into making sure there was clearance around the steering shaft. the shaft is very close to where the last primary exits the engine. to get enough clearance i had to initially route the primary down at 90deg then...

shifter mount and left manifold the left manifold. obviously needs a bit of a clean up. the shifter mount needed to be modified and the original shifter lever was modded and reversed to suit too. works great.

exhaust manifolds Well, i bought a new welder to replace the one that got stoled. gas/gasless 150amp. so the good news is that i have fabbed the right exhaust manifold. needs final welding and some minor rework, i'm not happy with the clearance it has from the guard so the primary from the 3rd...

stolen stuff I have the rest of the week off from work to sort it all out. by the end of the week all the pawnbrokers, alloy welding companies, performance shops, auto parts stores and the MVR in Darwin will have a copy of the list of stolen stuff. and all the car clubs. And everyone i know and...

Theft update! Get the word out! Thanks for the support guys, here's what has happened. Cops came and took my statement. No fingerprints were found by the CSI guys. They believe i was a targeted by someone i know, cant figure who though. I have lodged a claim with Shannons for the EH...

ref: good for nothing losers since all my tools and parts have been stolen progress will now be very slow! thanks you lousy f***ers

to low life scum-of-the-earth good for nothing losers who broke in to my storeroom and stole my stuff - I WILL FIND YOU! and I will make you pay! Sometime in the last 3 weeks, while i was away for work someone brokr in and stole the following: Brand new SP Tools; 1/2" Socket set...

Guys, just i the process of fabbing up some exhaust manifolds and turbo system. The original manifolds dont use gaskets so will i need some with the new custom items? I think i will, so where is the best place to get them? cheers

fuel cell heres the fuel cell

Drive shaft coupling/ slip yoke Since i'll be using a live rear end and the trans does not have a slip yoke i need to be clever. A mate has already done this for me though and designed a neat way of using an MQ Patrol uni/slip yoke and tail shaft. He got the local engineer to make a plate with...

build update Fuel cell arrived the other day, my neighbour received it and sent me some photos since i'm away. since she's a chick and has no idea the pics are sideways but you get the idea. 75L. it will be mounted behind the pax side under the tray (thats the left for you sepo's). Surge tank...

update hi all, just a quick update on the ute. spent 2 months way since last update so progress has been slow. Rack is now in and although it still needs the steering column conneted to the rack and the steering arms installed appears to function well. The Sump from CRS arrived and needed me...

Hey guys, found this info, thought it might come in handy. See your metalcorp store for more!

more the rubber stoppers. I will drill the hole out to accomodate a much larger bolt and crush tube. and for the sharp ones who have noticed the 'automatic rust supression system' ie: oil everywhere - it will be cleaned soon!

Fabrication xmember When i found the original gearbox mount was broken i had an idea of making my own, using half of the broken mount and sme creativity. I made the xmember to fit where the original one was, even used the original bolts and threaded plate. Basically all i need to do to finish...

"In order to get enough exhaust flow the engine must turn and turn fast..Hense turbo lag... Root superchargers run off the crank of the motor itself.. So when the motor turns so does the supercharger creating no lag and instant boost" Not always so. Even the best setup turbo system will...
