the radiator support panel has been cut back and the front chassis rail has been stepped down. the radiator sits directly in front of the factory mounting. there is plenty of room for the rad and a 16" fan. the radiator is custom made, i cant remember the size exactly but i think its 450 x 600 x...

filmed on location, using my phone just moments ago. takes a little while to load but it gives you an idea of the sound. most of the engine bay wiring is finished. got idle speed control valve working, it idles very well now, even without any water. checked rev counter and it reading right...

passengers side finished bar O2 sensor and some brackets. after dinner ill go and finish the drivers side, or at least get a bit closer to finished. end of the pipes with transition pieces welded on. collector tacked in place. finished item. right then, its off back to the shed for me. sheepers.

the motor is all back together and ready to go. traction control gear is all gone from the TB, loom is all stripped and back on the motor. hydraulic fan drive is gone and the cambelt and water pump are new. ive sorted the rack and the crossmember and thats all ready to go. new fuel lines are in...

i had to ditch the crossmember and rack that was in the car when i bought it. i measured the bump steer and got 13mm of toe in at 50mm of travel, less than ideal. so, i bought an TE71 powersteer rack and crossmember off tardme and used that. i measured it all up and found that it needed to be...

i have gained heaps of help from the people on this forum and i thought id better post up a thread so you can see what I'm doing and maybe give someone some inspiration on their project. ill skip the painting of the shell and start with the 1UZ relevant bits. i stuck te 8 in the hole to see...

thanks for your help guys, ill try changing the power supply to the injectors/ ignitors, that should sort it out. sheepers.

ive wired my uz as per this thread, http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11125&highlight=1uz+fire+missed it starts and idles fine, it also revs well and sounds incredible (its only got headers on it at the mo) but when i switch the key off it doesn't shut down. it keeps running...

the wheels on the blue car are simmons B45's i think. (i bought them new about 6 years ago and i cant remember the model number, they still make them) they are pretty much an institution down this side of the world. they have been made in australia for years and almost every muscle car in the...

the blue one has a commodore VL turbo LSD in it, shortened to fit, and its still stock steering box at the mo but im collecting the bits to go to R&P. i put 1JZ in the RA23 about 7 years ago, at that time the vvt 1JZ's just did not exist, you couldnt get one unless you bought a whole car and...

thanks for that, i too have a book by Graham Bell, his books are very good. thanks for the information, ill look into it. as for the pairing, the first photo you posted is definitely wrong. the header shown on the VVT engine is on the wrong side. sheepers.

yea, i saw that they were paired wrongly (for a run of the mill type system) at first i thought the photo had been flipped, but its not. i haven't come to a decision about my headers as yet, i would like to build a tri-y system but the above mentioned pipe sizes are just not practical and i...

how long have you had it?? had any issues with the recline mechanism on the drivers seat?? thanks for your input. sheepers.

hi all, im about to buy an LS400 and i was trying to find some of the things i should look out for when inspecting the car. i want to get a 95-97 model. i probably cant afford anything newer than a 95, but ive not found too much in the way of what to look out for and how to check. any advice...

ive got quite a soft spot for old school toyotas. but ive never been much of a fan of "stock" unless its rare as.. anyway, heres my collection. 1st, my daily driver. my old daily driver (now sold) my other celica project. and my other project...

thanks heaps man!!! thats exactly what im after!!!!! is there any specific reason why the header calculator thingy only has the option for 4 into 1 design? or am i just missing something really obvious????? im aware of the different principals of each design but is there a bigger argument about...

i have searched the forums of and on for about 3 weeks now and im not finding allot of info about primary and secondary length for you average tri-y headers. ive been on the header design site but i cant seem to find a way of getting length for anything except 4 into 1. ive found plenty about...

these headers are very nice, you've done an excellent job of them. i am about to embark on making some headers for my conversion (1uz into an RA28 celica) and im wondering what lengths you used for you primary's and secondaries?? Ive had a good search but cant find anything that gives some...

that is simply brilliant, this car is going to be incredible when its finished. good luck with the rest of it!! sheepers

no, sorry, i should have been specific. i was talking kilo's. the difference is about 20kg's so about 40lb's. and thats in the 1UZ's favor, if you removed the aircon and the power steer pump and the hydro fan drive from the 1UZ i reckon you'd loose another 15kg's? sheepers.
