I have an apexi muffler that'd probably go well on this. will try remember to measure the inlet on it when I get home

was ex a wrx, then pipe section modified (roughly) to fit an NA SF forester. 

I got it to slap on turbo SG forester but turns out seller didn't know it was na size modded.

Not International wheels - a rebody on something else ?

Pretty easy to change from artillery to 10 stud

Yeah Facebook would be the go. 

I remember them! The yard still exists. Don't know who owns it now. 

That'll be sweet. 

I got to work late the other day to see the guys had our ine with the legs removed and swinging a 350kg 18 speed box down into the pit below ground level with 3 dudes hanging off the back as counterweight. Lol

Cheers!

Shit yeah I've been looking at ml merc for ages. Hadn't had the opp/balls to push the button at this stage tho. Hmm

Are you still running that prius Chris?

t659. 

che

yeah and the last v8s had cooling system issues. 

and driveshaft yoke failures similar to the front hub conundrum

when you went for any of those recalls they changed the badges. haha

Another cool Ole beast from back in the day. You couldn't get an aerodyne cab from International so this was custom made. RL Maine always had Sharpe gear.

Yes there was a bit of badge engineering going on as the last of the TM beddies went on the road. GM was in bed with Isuzu for a couple of years. Shame you couldn't get a Detroit in the Isuzu. I know Gills in Huntly were retro fitting Detroits into the first Fusos. They were quite successful. 

Pft

in the 80s you could get c & e series isuzu with cummins and detroit. 

fuso changed their name to mitsi coz of early issues with thier v8s. 

then changed it back to fuso late 90s for similar haha

Ford/hino did similar but theirs lasted right into the mid 90s with the n series ford

Yeah they badged some as isuzu so e as bedford to ease the pain of the japs on the old mates that couldn't imagine owning Japanese stuff. How did they not realize when suddenly their new truck isn't horrific as a bedford?

Farrrrrrrkkkkkkkk.

Yeah boiiiiiiii

man I dunno why people go so wild about 1kz being some kind of GOAT

precomp diesels.... what the hell eh. 

I'd say stem seals in that case. 

I filed my old ct110 one down from a deburring standpoint. No drama.
