  1. The bottom one is a satsumo castanet. Very popular model in the west North.
  2. Progress. Not finished yet but getting there. Interestingly enough the one with the biggest bend in it, third from the right, is the one I didn't cut.
  3. I'll make an exhaust for it if you want.
  4. in my experience there is a difference between the cheap and expensive electric fans but not enough to solve your woes i reckon. if its getting hot and you've got two ,fairly small TBH, electric fans on there then upgrading to the most expensive fan you can fit still wont fix the problem. larger diameter makes a big difference too, if you can fit one 16" fan - somehow- rather than two 11" fans that would be better. youd need a shroud and shit but yea bigger is better.
  5. ^ I'm talking about difficulty in sticking things up your bum of course?
  6. So getting coilovers for this is turning out to be a bit difficult in that everything had massive lead times in the region of 18 weeks. So I bought some yellow speed ones. I've got yellow speed brakes on my blue car, have had them on there for about 4 years or so, never has any issue with them and so I took a punt on their coilovers. In the meantime I thought I'd make a slightly custom grill for it. Because there was a cheap grill on trademe. I want to "delete" the badge, so they'd what I'm doing.
  7. it did, i was there. right now things are all up the shit and we had to be sensible. that meant not buying that place. no matter, we'll find another.
  8. This was the house we were trying to buy, https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/lifestyle-property/auckland/papakura/ardmore/listing/3601740942
  9. We did not buy the new house. Not bummed, its a bad time to be selling a house in AK.
  10. we'll need to live another 6 lives to pay off what we are trying to buy.
  11. Can you get me a contact for the seller please? I can't access marketplace for reasons I haven't discovered yet.
  12. Yea righto, I plan on dropping it 50mm or so. I don't see this as a massive amount? Will it auto destroy with a 50mm drop?
  13. So I bight a set of lowering springs for this thing and went about installing them. Started with the back because why not. The replacement springs were quite a bit shorter but a much heavier wire diameter. I stuck them in and put it back on the ground. The new springs dropped the car appropriately zero mm but they made up for that by being not captive. Cool, so out they came and I returned them. Now I'm on the hunt for some coilovers for it.
  14. it works of an electric window switch. all it does is swap polarity or the 24V supply. easy.
  15. toyotas run super rich from factory, its just the way they are. there is many fuel savings to be had by taking out fuel from the map, and more speeds, but mostly fuel. example, my 1JZ was running a factory computer when i first built it, i pushed 15PSI through it - stock setting is 9, and put an Apexi neo into the system. we took out 16% from the whole fuel map to get the AFRs into the 12s.
  16. I had one of these a few years ago and it ruled. It was the wife's daily so I never did anything to it except maintenance. Now I've bought another one that is going to be my daily. I've done over a hundred thousand Ks in each of my celicas and quite frankly, it's fucked them. So now imma daily this. NZ new 98 LS400. Has the vvti engine. No sunroof, totally stock, fastidiously maintained 140 000ks. Dark blue with black interior. Every factory accessory is still there including the factory gloves, factory leather conditioner, luggage net and factory first aid kit. Plan is low, wheels, exhaust and an apexi neo fuel computer.
  17. Just recently I made a new range hood for the kitchen. I made it by using the guts out of a stock range hood and I made the rest. Basically the bit with the lights in it and the filters are "off the shelf" the rest I made. There are 3 150mm fans in the roof which connect to the top of the square but via flexible hoses . The linear actuators are 24 volt. I had to make a bunch of frames to mount it all in the roof. Getting to where is mounted was not easy......
