  1. @dmulally like I said this morning on the reverse gearstick anonymous phone call, you don't have to make it as poncy as mine. Just rotate your under tunnel shaft 180 degrees so flipping the forged socket to the top and raise the gear stick fulcrum the required amount (30mm iirc), so reversing your across gate movement....

    2013 Lexus gs450h 

    Young English backpacker, maybe all of 20, bought it for 13k to travel nz in. It seems like a lot of car for the money. Certainly quite an oppulant way to kick about NZ.  They were roughly 140k nzd when sold new in oz.  0-100 in 5.6 seconds ain't too shabby. 

    Fuck it's a hefty car though and I'd not really enjoy working on it. 

    Edit : more like circa 120k new and 5.9 secs according to this..

  3. It's really just a plastic container that fills up with fuel because not perfectly sealed around the lid. The return line goes into the bottom of the container. The pump is mounted at an angle so it's filter sock sits at the very bottom of container.  Very basic and very neat. 

    Use one of these, or a similar item (I figure a k11 pump won't be up to the task of feeding a V8 at full chat) , along with the internal baffles you suggest above and you'd be fine I think.

  4. I tried removing separating the test sample at local engineers yesterday. Got to 12 ton pressure and it wasn't moving and the shaft we were using to push with started bending. We called it quits before it spat out (had put a shroud around the lot but still...) 

    I'm going back with a beefier press tool. I want to see and hear the bang :grin:

    No way it's gonna shift in my setup that's for sure.
