10Speed

stoked to hear it's still puttering around

I did find myself inexplicably drawn to the Suzuki Hustler last time I was in Japan, and wondered in passing about the practicality of importing one

See the pic of my exhaust setup below, where do I put an O2 sensor?  and while we're talking about it does anyone have a source of reasonably placed ones?

That latest photo looks like it'd be really easy to remove the engine.

Let me know if you want a hand and need storage for it. I have a great car I could store it in.

yeah no more lifting the car over the engine...

given how often you're pulling your engine out, I'm surprised you haven't done this...

continuing to do things in the wrong order...

got sick of the tight confines of the engine bay, so took a leaf out of 63Ragtop's book and broke out my spot weld drill (and Dremel) and made the rear apron removable.  Also uncovered a bunch of rust I'll have to tidy up...

In hind sight this should have been the first modification I ever made to this car...

is that a Taipan?

boost referenced by pass style... damn I might have to weld another fitting on my already powder coated tubing )-:

might try with a tee first anyway...

intercooler, lol there's no intercooler on this rattly old thing

sweet this makes sense, will tee off my fpr line, which is about 300mm from the compressor

I would like a sanity check on my turbo plumbing.

Waste gate is plumbed to vacuum port on the carb
Fuel Pressure Regulator is plumbed into the intake, just after the tee
BOV, Boost Guage & Distrubutor (CB Magnaspark II) are plumbed in to a CB vacuum reference kit ( http://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/2040.htm )

pic of messy engine for reference

a Subaru TY754

I'll see how you're placed when I have sourced a subi gearbox for mocking up

fingers crossed I'd only need 30 mins or so to get the measurements I'm after...

when are you pulling the body?

if that beetle winds up as a bare pan at some point I wouldnt mind popping down to mock up a non-vw gear box I'm considering using on it one day...  (or to help remove the body if you need a hand)

you and me both, been a long 18 months

getting low now!

any plans to pie cut the frame head?

I put a set of cases through the dishwasher once...  ymmv

one of my regrets was not making my rear valance removable...

might still do it one day...

is that a 12v flywheel then?

I've used it on chrome trim in the past, and it was tough enough to stand up to 4 years of mechanical car washes at bp with no issue

getting close, wait to have it on a dyno before any long drives...

Please tell me this is coming to OS drags in Dec

well it's been outside under it's own power...

school holidays still?

Spring Jamobree today...
