  1. Al,s mufflers in Target road would be my pick , i've had them do a lot over the years .
  2. talked to the certifier down the road and they are legal without cert (he did agree that they can catch you out )
  3. im thinking bout finding out what series head ive got and what ratio so i can drop an tsd in instead. must be somthing out there.
  4. has anyone had any experince with these , http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =288938447 bassically want to put one in my 2wd hilux as it has an open diff and gets stuck on a blade of grass and has poor traction in the wet (plus want to do some mean skids aye) i would just put an lsd in but they all seem to be very loose , also finding one for it is hard as its the new model hilux and all the wreakers are charging a fortune (2000 bucks) it will be mostly tarseal driving so want to make sure its safer than welding the diff up . cheers
  5. loving this build , closest ive got is kiting out a van but this is giving my all sorts of irrational ideas , keep it up !

  10. just put some coilovers in and they do the same thing , will be interested on how you fix it so i dont have to bother trying to sort it out myself
  11. had a play around with the ride height today cut a half coil out of the rear to get it sitting level (well 5-10mm lower in the rear now ) balloon tyres on the rear rub a bit but their only going to last a few more burnouts
  12. thanks guys , im goin to go hard and get the rest of the shit on today and hopfully give it a drive tonight !!! it has been a bit pricey to build , but the missus dont notice the money goin out if you skim a bit week to week , if she knew id be dead
  13. got the 5k together again , used some oversise pistons this time , got my crank nitrided , head got a three angle grind done on it , new valves with a new back cut done on them , whole engine balanced , new bearings ,shaved and polished the rocker cover , polished the thermo housing and water pump . put it all back in but she wouldnt start , turned out i hadnt put the dissy in right , so had another crack at that and she started first pop (neighbours must have loved that at 11pm sunday night with no exhaurst). still got to go buy a timing light , and tidy up the wiring a bit and she'll be ready to be run in . also managed to get some secondhand rca's and an oil cooler which ive put on . just need to find a decent brake setup now , im thinking wilwoods ? any one got any sugestions ? discussion viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11878
