UTERUS Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Spews water out the overflow at ??? temp and I was hoping it was the radiator or cap, solution was to replace both. Chinas finest from redline. Outlet faces the wrong way. I stared at it for awhile and thought "what would rookie dave do?" then cut that bitch off. Cut other un needed things, drilled some things etc and forgot to take a photo of it in the hole. But don't worry, it still got real hot and blew lots of water out the overflow bottle. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UTERUS Posted March 25, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 Next week I'll fit an electric fan and pretend it's still a cooling issue, not water seals. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UTERUS Posted April 3, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's next week ish. I was thirsty for an answer. shhhhhh This is what a shitty picture of an open thermostat looks like, one step closer to being water seals. Step 17 is to buy largest fan you can find and gently place it onto the radiator. Magic! I'll see what adhesive foam I have and try seal the edges as best I can. Tomorrow I may even see how much it doesn't fit. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UTERUS Posted April 12, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2016 It's a few days past yesterday but work got in the way of playtime. Couldn't be bothered sealing the gaps so in it went anyway, I ran it in the drive with everything all assembled and thermostat in there and it is rock solid at 80 degrees so that's nice. I started unwinding tape, gauges, switches and misc wires and removed this stuff that doesn't do anything except make me angry. Next? uhhhhhh probably more wiring. Maybe even have a go at sealing some gaps in the floor/firewall so it isn't 420 every time I drive it. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UTERUS Posted April 30, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 I got the bargain of the century of a bolt in hilux diff, shortened, discs and lsd. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UTERUS Posted April 30, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 It bolted in ok, sentradave very kindly fiddled my shaft and swapped yokes. He also did the rear brake lines. Re mounted fuel pump with some rubber and ran a new fuel line as the old shit was fucked as. Clever use of rivnuts to mount the handbrake cables. It bolted in great btw, untill i tried to adjust the links to get the correct pinion angle and now nothing fits. I got a supertrapp though, so i've got that going for me. I'd like to thank the following; sentradave for engineering and moral support pooman for taming dave evan for doing the things i didn't feel like doing romandave for showing us the magical brake bleeding technique dell'orto for the sick hookups I've got a few tricks left up my sleeve to solve the diff angle problem, so I need to visit zebra and see what they have to offer. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UTERUS Posted June 27, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2016 So uhhh more things have happened, though I have very few pics because my sd card has been failing for awhile and I didn't notice. Dave and I ummed and ahhhd about the shitty UJ angles, and it was clint who gave us the idea to use cv joints from a commodore driveshaft. So we crawled around under some smelly commodores and fetched the sloppiest driveshafts zebra had to offer. I don't have any pics of what they looked like factory but here's what an end looks like. The adaptor that bolts to the cv and slides into the gearbag Here's the adaptor that bolts between cv and diff. Got some aliexpress exhasut wrap and did a thing. Lots of grunting, swearing, hitting and drilling and driveshaft loop is in. I wanted to move the spring perch forward so the diff can happily sit back further, threaded rod tells me where to put the centre of the perch. So It was about now that I got real unhappy at how much toe in it had, and I was real eager to have a go at fixing it, unfortunately my phone didn't save heaps of pics. How to bend diff: 1) remove everything not a diff case and make a jig around it to stop it flying into orbit when the welds break. 2) remove centre bits from diff head and spin up some bushes from delrin to replace the carrier bearings 3) spin up an "axle" from a piece of bar 4) put the things in place and now you can measure where your "axle" is sitting in the housing and use secret dave maths to calculate camber and toe 5) use bottle jack to abuse the diff case into submission 6) measure, success, marvel at the simplicity After this, dave very kindly donated his steel barrels and tyres (bruh skids on) for me to make some wheels that fit, I don't have any pics of this either but it briefly features on snapchat (thanks pooman) So yea grind the flange from the barrel that used to be there from a previous life, cut the shit out of a townace centre and hydraulic press that bitch in. Bolt onto car, adjust offset and run out with DTI magnetted to a mazda engine block and you're good to go to glue it together. Somewhere in amongst all that, dave sneakily tightened the shit out of the gilies and I believe it's tuned to a high c? They look absolutely perfect on the car, I couldn't be happier. Huge thanks to dave the tame machinist, he didn't choose the brap life. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Holy moly so much more work has gone on since whenever that was. Dave very kindly made me another shaft with universals as the cv joints were doing lol things. Front wheels done. Replaced various electrical tape seals with red silicone. Drilled hole in water pump housing and put the two speed fan switch in, it works perfectly. Bought new vw golf front inserts and made new front coilovers with 5kg springs and camber plates. So many other things I've forgotten. The only pic I have is of the gear knob I made, so there you are. Wof, reg, Brep Brep. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UTERUS Posted September 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2017 Well it's a year later and the only change is that is has grown plenty of lichen. Took the diff head out and had a go at fixing the LSD and crazy noise it has, that didn't work so I took it back out and tightened up the backlash a bit more, that didn't help either. Tried to do skids, single spinner, tried some more and it starts missing and running like shit. Because of how miserable it is to take the head out, I've been ignoring it. I did however just order a carb rebuild kit. I also just realised most of my pics no longer work, ah well. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
