Additional support in the top outer corners

Much more discreet

I have some spare buckets that meant I could make them pretty easily without pulling front off the car

Decided it was a good time to remedy this heinous bracket for early light swap and try get them on the new cert next week i didnt have any other support other than pictured so it was deemed to floppy last time

Highly illegal spec does look good though right??

Fitment is exceptional Now I can check the water in 3 easy steps instead of 20 minutes each way. I still can not get the heater to blow hot no matter what I do, the tap doesn't feel seized and I've tried bleeding air with a bucket sized funnel sealed on filler neck and the heater hoses at back of engine feel very hot.

Radiator installed again with filler neck on passenger side Took two attempts because they missed my beveled cut on cardboard model where it meets radiator and assumed radiator sits level not on the 15 degree forward it has (V mount?)

Techno Phantom pair have just been finished in a 9j A type SSR Tomcat 10j A type pair have just been painted to match.

I feel ya. I definitely lold at the quality.

the give away ^

I ordered a reproduction boot handle from Sri Lanka via ebay for $150 The thing is handmade. And very poorly...

This thing has always had a bit of a water leak most likely from the shit junction on top hose where there are 4 joints in 200mm (engine-filler cap-radiator) all on a bit of an angle and just average. Took it in to my radiator guy and he said to make a cardboard model of how I would like a filler neck added to passenger side The existing setup meant I had to remove drivers seat and 10 or so bolts for the engine cover. Moving it to passenger side means 3 buckles and I can check/fill water. Tempted to move dipstick over there also.... Dropped it off this afternoon with my cut up glad wrap roll. Hopefully back up and running for the weekend

Rear is looking better The goal is to get another certification for the supercharger kit, lower height and 8/9j wheels but it's a juggling act between legal tyre sizes, correct speedo, camber laws and not looking like a hilux.

Trying 225/40 on 9j and 8.5j

Installed the new rear springs. Adjusted shock a bit more after photo to get spring captive. Was still able to get required droop ~40mm. Height installed was exact same as previous bc springs. The idea with these is that you trim the tightly bound section to get desired height. Went to go for a test drive but battery was flat. Decided I need to finalize my tyre sizes before I go cutting expensive springs.

Spec!

One of my mates was picking something up from a wreckers in Takanini and spotted a high roof km36 van. Sadly the boot handle was also wrecked but I did score a pair of front stainless monsoons Pulled the rubber edging off and gave them an autosol

Pinched the sportline steering wheel from the gx61 for now, it's a nice size without powersteering at 320mm and has my own logo horn button fitted

Axent Audio in New Lynn repaired the square woofer foam on the pair of Pioneer ts-x22 for $135 including gst. I installed them last weekend with a single bolt through the engine cover and another through the battery cover to hold them in place. They sound good but not as good as I remember the ts-x10 sounded for some reason.

My mate fritz made a video of our trip back from Christchurch last July in this thing

In further suspension fiddling I sourced a pair of these rear springs that are 20mm shorter than the current mx73 bc short ones and a dual spring rate.

Tried them with another 14" A type wheel and they will work as long as tyre isn't bulging past the rim. Saw these pop up and grabbed them since I haven't seen them before. They are an uncommon 14" work equip mesh Each of the hex head bolts are engraved with 'work' And they have pretty cool black valve stems/caps. These will be widened to a 9/10J stagger as the potenza tr-3 were. I've managed to get a pair of 225/40 toyo t1r to try on and see how they work with the rear flares.

I did a bit of work on this a few months back to try get a warrant and fine tune some suspension bits but it didn't really pan out so it's just been sitting. I also sold the Bridgestone tr-3 to a friend who needed something quick to build his car around. Purchased some of these beams! 40mm roll centre adjusters from Australia Stuck them in and went for a drive and heard a horrible grinding It was clarencing the wheel weight on
