Surprised no ones posted up Jason's rx2 in the last couple of days.

 

See he finally got it dynod. 400hp on 12psi

 

 

 

 

 

Gidday team, she has been a while and things have been happening. Going off the order of my images these have been the events so far.

originally I built the accelerator bracket out of some thin panel steel and it was moving around so i headed out to see @Geophy and robbed some flat steel from him.
 

made me a thicker bracket.
 

gave that and the carb bracket a lick of black and put it all together.
 

next up I had two 6 inch speakers and a bluetooth kicker amp laying around that were going to be used on something else but never ended up using them and i got sick of turning the UE boom on and off.

so time to get busy.

I really dislike having speakers in doors of kombis and classic cars so i done my best to hide them, so got cutting holes in the inner wheel tubs. these are not full tubs they don't go out to the under of the car.
 

they have pressings in them and let a bunch of road noise through, so no loss and no gain. should be covered with something but like 90% of buses never cover them.

got some clear pvc out of under the bench and drew up some templates and made some wood cards.
 

had some black carpet under the bench and wraped them in that.

installed the little amp behind the passengers seat and all the wires tucked away and into the wheel tub. 
 

shes pretty small and comes with a small hand controller, the product is kicker pxibt50.2
 

thats the small controller and speaker installed. goes well enough for two speakers and to listen to music. In fact here is a video.
 

next up i needed to weld a scrape plate on my muffler cause it turns out its still to low and ive made it less round and more flat.
 

 

 

that should hopefully make the muffler last a bit longer, i also added a fire extinguisher to the bus. 
 

here is a image of me just using the bus
 

wof was due not long after this image and it turns out the screen wanted to crack the day before the wof, so out she came, using the most safely way of course.

 

and hello. we found some rusty holes and she wasn't the prettiest under there.
 

welded the rust up and quickly put some rust killer on it and chucked a new screen back in it.
 

off to tga for a wof and catch up with a mate and a customer.
 

ah did i mention ages ago i sneakly brought a repo clock for the dash? well i told my other half one day and then i installed that during this same time.

getting into those positions that you only see your steep sister get stuck in on those videos. 
 

a fun job getting in behind the dash to remove it but we got there
 

 

 

wof aquired time to repair some other things. got sick of the side door dropping and been a pain in the ass so i pulled the side mechanism out and and had a closer look. 
 

this u shape pin has a bunch of play in it. so it was time try put a bush in the body. a quick visit to see @Kimjon
 

drill the bad boy out and kim machined up a bush to go in it.

it was also missing a locking key thing, thanks google for supplying this image



but yeah got one of them and slapped it all back together with a new block for it to slide on.
 

and job well done.  

brought myself the volkswagen script that goes on the tail gate that i never had. saw dubbed had them for sale on trade me so hit him up and got that on the back of the bus.
 

drove to tga for xmas and then up to sentras house for new years.
 

 

and thought after all that driving i should probably grease the front beam, while i was there i chucked the bump stops in that i made.
 

pretty happy with how well these turned out.
 

and that will do for now, i think I'm going to have to go do some work so ill continue updating my silly vw activities next time.  

bloody reble over here trying to get to @sentra daves house for new years party.

 

bloody hoofing it as you can see, must be down hill and gusting winds behind me.

Excuse the poor lighting. 1997 Chariot 7 seater 1.8 manual with chromies for the homies.

Turns out the owner has RX2 and HQ and some other oldschool cars. Just had to take his G-Zeros off cause he cracked one, so put the chromies on.
