i thank you.

WOF question, can you have one of those spiral wound flexible cables wrapped around your steering column going to your steering wheel?

Painted floors are for people who don't do any work in their sheds.

It's now in its new home I'll need to really map out what I'm going to do with it. Paint the engine bay is a given. I think I'll also restore the underside of the car and replace all the bushes, balljoints etc.

Going to pick it up soon.

that bmw lifter looks very similar to the 5MG unit. which i rubbish. just thought id add that in case you wanted to not use them.

OMG the new "clunk" noise the indicator stalk makes is fucking amazing.

I got updates. EGR removal is a complete win Cleaning all the shit out of the intake gained a very noticeable increase in powah Attaching the wastegate to turbo pressure has been a great win too in that is not just free boosting and yet it goes faster. It uses WAY less diesel Side exit exhaust had eliminated all fumes from the truck whilst back window down cruzing. Also I put the new stick things in the steering column and it looks all new and fancy.

Bought new stalks because they were available and not too expensive. I also ordered the clear cover for the gauges and in typical amayama fashion they listed it, sold it to me, took my money, waited two months and then told me they are NLA. I love how amayama do that.

I like to cruze around with the back window down. Had a bit of zorst smell sometimes so I made a side exit zorst to hopefully send the fumes to outside my environment.

neither are gravel burnouts in the driveway apparently.

been driving the truck around this morning and i can confirm with actual science* that the truck has way more power than it did before. fuck, what a difference. *no actual science has been used in the making of this post.

"EGR removal phase two, the de-sliming" Got new genuine toyota gaskets for the intake then took it all apart. Fuck what a mess. I am now covered in sludge but anywho it's cleaner. The ports were about 6- 8mm smaller all round due to the amount of buildup in the manifold walls. I got all the shit out and also got the ports in the head all cleaned out. Put it back together. It goes way better, it's super noticeable how much better it goes. You could say it goes hard, For what it is.

Yea it's been on TV before. I think this car was the first road car in nz to make over a thousand hp but I could be wrong
