    Dan and the team at Rocket down in Hamilton have been busy as! Tunnel raised 30mm and restitched in, did a bit of clearancing around the firewall/merge collector too to give a bit more space. Have plumbed up oil cooler, cooling system, mounted overflow bottle. Modified the MFR intake by cutting the back half off and folding up a new sheetmetal feed so it lines up better with the airbox intake. Modified the exhaust, moved resonater back from under driver to before diff so it can be tucked up into base of tunnel so hangs way higher, also cut exhaust and went under diff instead of over to add clearance. Can still run my centre console which im happy about was a key thing i wanted to keep with the modified tunnel so that worked out well! Few things left - Finish clearancing under rear seat/over diff head, - Brake/hand brake cables/lines - Modify rear tubs and rear rails to allow it to go a bit lower, now we have raised gearbox and d shaft tunnel its the last bit of clearancing thats needed to get a bit of extra slam.

    Swung into Rocket this week to check out progressing, Dan and the lads have been hammering it out, bloody stoked on progress. -Have cut the tunnel to allow gearbox to be raised to a better angle (had to come up about 30mm) -Modified gearbox xmember to suit TKX -New driveshaft to suit TKX -Welded up old master cylinder holes in firewall -Fit wideband ports in each header runner -Mounted the pedal box -Mounted wilwood billet reservoirs in the windscreen cowl so nice and hidden away but accessible -Braced EWP as its coming out from the radiator a fair bit -Mounted overflow bottle -Made up the Greens intake manifold kit and welded it up, to get the EFI hardware intake to fit with the MFR airbox overtop and fit under the bonnet -Redid rear diff shock mounts to suit the BC Golds (old shocks had a way narrower eye) -Few other misc holes filled and fab bits done Few things left to do - Clearance floor for diff head an low -Finish sheet metal work for tunnel -Sort brake lines, handbrake cables to suit wilwood rears -Modify MFR intake filter pod to work better with the 20b position /air box angle -Change exhaust to go under diff instead of over (fitted but was really tight and not much clearance) Very happy with how its all coming together and looking!

  8. MRWEST
    should of popped in @Nominal im not far from there!
  9. MRWEST
    Yeah there! He makes factory style parcel trays for rx3 as well, and the airboxs to suit 13b or 20b as well as a few other things like 10a front chin spoilers. very impressed with the quality, Julian is a good rooster (ex kiwi that lives in auz) and turned the order round quick as !
  10. MRWEST
    Yeah man i reckon! actually really well made too was impressed. The whole rotary air intake over top of hot exhaust never really made much sense from the perspective haha.

    Bit more things going down. Bought a MFR Moffat style airbox to run with a behind headlight panel filter feed as well. Cars getting loaded up tonight to get dropped off to Rocket tomorrow (Did a heap of Tim Woods car) for a list of things - Gearbox xmember to suit Tremac - Clearance floor and tunnel for diff and lowering - Change rear diff shock brackets to suit BC Gold - Intake manifold - A "quiet"exhaust running a dual muffler setup under the boot floor now its flat floor - Mount pedal box and reservoirs - Few minor small bits and pieces to finish it off \

    Trucks been pretty much parked up since the above post pretty much Slowly acquiring parts for a down the track makeover on this thing as deals pop up. Have picked up a S2/3 Jag front end with a freshly rebuilt by PPG Hydraulics LHD Steering rack, these are getting near on impossible to find now it seems! Picked up a 90s Holden solid rear LSD diff with disk brakes thats the correct width to use without narrowing Have also picked up a bag setup, Slam bags, Viar Compressors and a Airlift Performance 3H management kit. Next to find is a suitable motor/box. Likely LS something with auto to make it easy cruiser.

Get it back in and a few other little jobs done this week before it goes.
