Shit that could be handy for parts … I’m doing Abel Tasman walk over new years… where is this located ? Just out of curiosity …

Mouth of the takaka river, been under for a while.. Has barnacles. 

Found this when I was fishing this arvo.. 

Must have surfaced in the August floods.

So far I checked the end float, seems good, 0.012mm.

Double checked the pulley wasn't rubbing, checked timing, valve clearance. Strip it down this weekend if I have time, what a ballache.

Yeah but better you find it now rather than down the track and really do damage..

Yeah, trying to not let it get me down, pretty ballsy thinking I could build a engine with no formal training and it would start first pop. I'm certainly learning.

Yeah bro, fucking nice job. Maybe something to do with your end float/flywheel/rear seal? Or oil pump?

We go through too much milk. It is nearly bankrupting us.

Turn it into kefir, so much better for you than milk/yogurt. 

I remeber him skulling a bottle of milk at the telethon..

Thanks guys.  Spend more time getting to know the history from your parents before the memories fade.   I wish I had done more of this with dad. 

This^^.. Sorry to hear about your old man bro, its hard. I also lament not garnering more memories from my dad as now have no point of reference for a lot of things in my past/childhood apart from my mum, best get on to her then. 

What parameters do you get? I need to get off my arse and break the bank. 

Yeah thought as much.. Thanks. 

Hilux 2wd so on a ladder chassis with no towers.. 

Hey @cletus is cutting an extra hole in the side of the engine bay a no no? There is already one there but about 80mm off center for my needs. For intake inlet.. 

Check what it's doing live, some sort of logging feature would be good to. Mainly for timing and afr. 

Hello, looking at a couple of the bluetooth dongles and apps. What are the better ones to get? I did look at a scan gauge but I don't want to spend that much to check a few things. Do most of them come with their own android apps or are there better combinations found on play store? Cheers. 

Fuck, I've got so many of those.. 

I've got two cigwelds, 220 amp mig and 140 amp mma/tig inverter.. Have had no probs with either, both will weld up to 6mm. I bought the mig about 6 months before they brought out the multi process replacement.. In typical fashion..

I've often wondered if you could use Kaowool instead of fiberglass in a muffler.k

Kao doesn't really like moisture, kinda collapses like candy floss.

You know that a good straight through muffler makes more power than a straight bit of pipe? 

Because the perforated inside has less surface area than a straight bit of pipe, so theres less drag on the gas.

So really we should be running one 3" hotdog all the way from the manifold? 

Just 91, trying to save money hah, after doing multiple trips to chch and back there seems to be zero difference in economy between 91, 95 and 100.. 

They redesigned the whole air box for the later 1gr's also the exhaust manifold is different with a different location for the o2 sensors. When I finally get the cai I'll do a bunch of testing to see what the gains(if any) are. 

Managed to drop it to 9.3/100 really working the downhill coasts and engine braking. She's hard work trying to sip fuel, find myself unwilling to smash the pedal for fear of increasing the literage. Bring on the drop in fuel prices so I can drive normally (probably won't). 

Edit* actually managed to get it down to 9.2 on the dash, 10.48 in the real world.

Hot air isnt a bad thing for fuel economy.

Apparently for the 1gr it is.. The whole air filter setup is pretty whack. Just waiting on a reply from a Toyota parts place in cali then I can hopefully bring in the trd cold air box.. And cut consumption by 2l/100. I'm somewhat skeptical..

Probably have to keep the cats hot.

A lot of the stuff they do doesn't make sense at first glance but Toyota knows what it is doing and everything is done for a pretty good reason

You would think so, but then the placement of the air filter and subsequent replacement in later models suggests otherwise. Also how come the 2gr gets much better economy for more hp in a heavier vehicle..
