Never mind Christchurch roads. How about getting totally beached in your own driveway! Had to get towed out.

Wound boost up a week or two a go. Was a crazy mad mission to get the controller on. Hitting about 12pounds now and it makes a decent difference. Car has been nick named the whisper jet because it is so quiet so going in on Wednesday for straight pipes. Hoping to get it sounding pretty wild, will post vids after pipes are in.

Updates ANT. Is it turbs yet? I wound up my boost and she warps now. Also, I need to pilfer some parts.

I rep Christchurch at 50mm and its all good.

Mean car. Loving the CB and aerial man, what is the exact name of these longer style aerials and where can i procure one?

I have towed this trailer at around 200kph.

I would avoid using anything but the winged sump if you can help it. I know of 2 1GGTES running bearings whilst under hard cornering/swinging donuts. He is adament that it starved the bearings of oil both times and has since run a winged sump with no issues. Kind of makes sense in my mind, why would Toyota have made such a huge sump for the 1GGTE compared to the 1GGEU. It takes about 2 more litres of oil than the standard sumps. EDIT: I got a winged sump for my 1GGTE, you will need the front sump version and AFAIK the Supra sumps are not front, they are middle or rear. My front sump came from a factory 1GGTE GX8x Mark II. Apparantly front winged sumps are rediculously hard to find. I would try finding one first as it will all just slot straight in without any mods.

Skids on.

Hamish and Andy giggling like school girls was better than the scrapes!

That person in the red car was so close to taking out the trailer! Never noticed that haha.

Is this months meet going out to the Rally? Today or tomorrow?

Ill make it 4

Epic film making. Very nice.

Cant wait for turbos bro, imagine the minds we will be blowing when we get our cars together again.

Got tacho working again now with new engine. So I guess you could say the conversion is 100% complete now. Got it groomed and everything came up pretty nice. Gathering up some interior parts that are missing or broken. Did a road tip to Dunedin towing a trailer in the weekend and it loved it. Suspension is amazing. Really surprised by how smooth the ride is. Is pretty low and hardly hits the ground. Perfect all round really.

The lanky doozle.

Ill bite your face cunt. It'll be a goer.

Awesome cheers man. I will text him up.

I was wondering about bushes. Where do you get replacements from? Do they come as a full kit?

Nah man you can get X73/X71 BC stuff thats designed specifically. Only thing you need to do is cut off the bottom of your factory front struts (so you have the wheel hub assembly etc) and get them welded onto the bottom of the BCs. Everything else is straight bolt in. Rear adjustment has a spring that sits in an adjustable hat so you can change the height. Also has an adjustable height shock with 30 points of dampening adjustment. Front is just what you would expect in an adjustable coil over. Camber, body heieght adjustment, spring height adjustment/tension, 30point dampening. Not sure how similar X61 is to X71 but I would imagine it is pretty similar. Much more similar than AE. EDIT: Heaps of adjustment, I can make the back so low the diff scrapes just from the shallow angle of the road. And I could make it pretty close to factory height as well. Fronts didnt go low enough when I first got the welding done. Ended up getting an extra 40mm cut off the BC and rewelded which let me go low enough (chassis is 50mm off the ground at lowest setting). If I wound them right up I could probably get it pretty close to factory height.

Yeah need to find one from somewhere. Any leads? And nah fog lights have always worked as they should. Just had them on for fun today. Even got light sensors so they turn on automatically

Went for a drive today and got a wet shot...

Hey man, I have made up a Tach Booster as described here. Scroll down to The Witzls comment, I built one of those. Just need to put it in and see if it works. And yeah, I had 3degrees of camber at 120mm off the ground. Factory specs are 0.5-0.75 from memory lol. On a side note, you will need to remove the post from my main thread as don't think you are allowed to post in the project threads.

Awesome cheers mate.

OK sweet. So captive when the wheels are jacked off the ground and hanging? I just jack the arms up with a Jack until the mount lines up with the shock and then slam the shock on. I guess I may have been putting the spring under a decent amount of tension before securing the shock. Will try just jacking the arm until the spring is just tight enough to not move and then adjust shock height to slide onto mount.
