  1. Righty-ho, so the cab mount rust has been mostly done, new brake hose is sorted and the exhaust is sweet. Got a wof and now this thing is legal as a 16yr old. Voltage regulator still doesnt want to charge in the mornings, it usually takes about 4km down the road from my house before the charge light goes out. This morning however, it didnt go out not even when i got to work 10km away. By which time the stereo had given up trying to run on 10v and it was missing like a bitch. Cunt of a thing. Luckily, JohnnyB dropped me another regulator he had lying around. I also had a regulator from my Subaru sitting on my desk and close examination of the wiring discovered i 'could' use the Subaru one but it was going to be a headache. The spare one John dropped off has exactly the same wiring colors and is also from a Toyota - just has a round plug instead of square. So i am now doing some soldering to wham the square plug where i need it and i'll be able to see if this thing will charge properly. Up until now its only had 12v when running. Will be interesting to see what 14.4v feels like. I anticipate wheelspin erry'whur
  2. Yeah, it seems to think im just hitting 3000rpm for 105kph, and it runs out of power about 4,800. Which seems odd for a 'sporty' celica motor.
  3. Ratio is 107:1 and youve actually been doing 184,985rpm everywhere. But seriously, also keen to know these things as i think my tacho is complete utter lies.
  4. Birfield joint? Lol at Thomas. Im reading that exact article now.
  5. Well ive never been there, just been told the food is fuckin supreme. But i do agree with you regarding the weathers.
  6. So its in the panel place this morning getting some steel hot-glued to the floor. Looking forward to the results tomorrow. On a side note, how do you change CV's on a live axle? Wonder how much they cost too. Need a pair of fronts.
  7. I vote bowling also as its cheap and lasts for ages, just like my sexual prowess
  8. You sure? My astrologist says uranus is going to be playing silly buggers on the 3rd
  9. Mines fraying quite nicely now. Its that salty Ohope air that does it
  10. Yeah he replaced this one with a 97' diseasel spec twin cab.
  11. I approve of this idea. Might even have a 3.8 to drop in it next year if im still lovin' it. Grumble, J5 and myself all now have Hiluxs
  12. 3rd December probably the latest i can take off from work before Christmas
  13. Good sig for someone right there. Had some cunts break into my wagon over christmas last year. They took my brand new shirt i'd just bought and change outta the ash tray. Left the CD's and cell phone. Then went next door and nicked most of the christmas presents. Anyways they caught him, sentenced and ordered to pay reparations. Ive never received a cent for my trouble. Is that how the system works?
  14. Dates are good for me, My vote is 1a/whatever, 2b, 3b weather dependant of course
  15. Mr Land-Transports list of things to be done; * Fix rot around cab mounts * Replace front left brake hose * Fix exhaust leak My list of things to be done; * Replace voltage regulator or alternator or both * Weld up a couple of rust holes * Find rear LSD * Replace front CV's Just needs the rust sorted for a wof now. Should have that sorted by next week
  16. So it has been ended. Basically i was never going to get around to doing anything with it. J5 had a moment of sensibleness and agreed were too lazy to make it go. Nobody on trademe wanted it for a dollar, so it has been broken into parts and the body shall be scrapped. The End, thankyou for playing.
  17. Plus if we have it on a Saturday, then we can all go to church on Sunday! Yaaaay! Church!
  18. My old man has told me of a totally awesome chinese place somewhere in TGA thats $20 all you can eat. Could rock that for a feed then slam some pins in Rotorua or some other kind of evening activity once stomachs have been filled and cars have been thrashed. Ah thats right Lou, i fogot yous a butcher
  19. I do like this plan a lot tbh. It includes a mean feed. Thats all i asked. 26th November or 3rd December?
  20. Tauranga or Rotorua are my votes. Rotorua smells and Tauranga has Meeeeeeeeean Chinese restaurant that serves millions of foods for cheap. Tauranga also has old mans boat to crash on should i get sauced.
