Yea itbs are a very long term goal haha more just wanting to do it for aesthetics at the moment not fussed about power just didn't want it to lose a whole lot because of it.
Have you got any pics of yours?

I've had a good look online and havn't really found anything substantial so just asking does anyone know if you can modify the existing plenum or fabricate a new one? Would it make a difference in power?

A few weeks ago I managed to score a red top 1gge out of a gx81 on Facebook. Ive been looking for quite a while for one, not posting anything but always searching just in case one came up. This one happened to come up at the same time I got a tax refund so there was no way I was going to miss it. It got delivered last night but it will be a while until I put it in I still need to do a whole lot of work before I can take it to vtnz so it'll be some time after that

Well the inevitable finally happened a cop saw me from the other side of the motorway and chased me down:
So missions on i guess. The known issues are wheels, adjustable suspension, high stop light and replace the exhaust so not really thaaaat bad...
started on sunday with a mate was going alright with the usual outbursts of frustration until i went to unbolt the exhaust and looked straight up...
Most of the chassis rails low points are split.. yay... Progress will probably be pretty slow, which it already is, so it will be even slower i guess, to get it ready to take to the mighty VTNZ.
On the upside here's an awesome shot by Keegan when i was leaving chrome a few weeks ago

Cheers!

So i got the best delivery ever this morning
stoked beyond words i dont think ive ever owned anything that shiny before...
i ran outside and test fit them straight away
yea they're wide... i decided when i ordered the lips id fit the car around the wheels so ive got some work to do
I got some 175/65 tyres put on and tried them on again
I think the plan will be a bit lower profile tyres much more guard work and drop the whole car another inch
Went hard with the guard roller and achieved minor flaring no way near enough though. Been tossing up whether to cut my inner guards and tack them higher then i could pump them way more
Have so much to do before Chrome expression next weekend hopefully i can get it sitting a bit better

Bout a year and a half ago i managed to score a 89 gx81 prefacelift chaser 1g-fe, something id been looking for for a while.
Was meant to start one of these ages ago but never got round to it...
Here's what it looked like the day i got it:
Managed to get it a wof and some rego and started looking through every facebook page about this chassis for things to buy
Mate of mine hit me up seeing if i wanted to buy a w55 manual conversion, I obviously said yes and got it all switched over a couple weekends later. Best decision ever.
What happens when your mates want a go...
Next on an impulse buy i got some 17x10 mesh reps and cut the springs asap.
Also around that time i stumbled across a facelift chaser at a local wreckers for $300. couldn't believe it, bought it, and towed it to work.
Stoked to have a front bar that wasn't completely warped, i swapped the bar and lights over
so nice not having the front end on the piss
then scored some xyz adjusties
I put some sounds in went for a drive with the girlfriend to rotorua a couple weekends later. Was a real nice roadtrip everything was mint. Came back sunday night and stayed at mums just for the night.
then my car got stolen...........
mean....
was watching tv then just heard it drive off into the night.
Drove around for 2 or 3 hours, got pulled over in mums swift for speeding, so just started frantically showing the cop pictures of my car saying we were trying to find it and gave him my number in case. Was the most gc cop ever. found it at 5am in onehunga and called me straight away. ruined ignition, bunch of tools gone, wheels gone and sounds ripped out. could've been so much worse though.
got it back from the cops a week later and the cunts had taken one ignition lead so had to drive it home on 5 cylinders.... Having that parts car was the best thing ever.
Decided i didn't want big wheels any more so bought some 14x6.5 and 14x7 5 stud SSR Starsharks which i didn't think i would ever see for sale. so happy. so so happy
Have since swapped the front guards to ones that haven't been pulled to africa.
Progress is slow. very slow. but it's going the way i want. Next on the list is sending 2 of the starsharks to pine for a full rebuild with 4.5 or 5 inch lips. then when i get some coin send the other 2 down. I've been hunting for a 1gge for a while but whenever one comes up its been shit timing funds wise and location so thats still high on the list. Also panel and paint is very high on the list. Those are my realistic goals. My unrealistic goals are Mizuno Works itbs and extractors.

Success! Can't believe it passed...
Also got a custom 2" straight through with a resonator tucked up as high as possible but it's still scraping a bit at one point by the diff
