pro tip trd brake fluid is the same as motul rbf600 but cheaper 

someone needs to make one of those bikes with a geared handlebars that make it turn backwards

oooooh k gear headsMy 2jz had a fault in my old crown wagon where it would drain the battery over a night or two.Chucked amp meter on it, pulling 2 amps or something from memory.pulled fuses till I found the one that stopped it draining.Was for the charge circuit.What I found was tha if I ran the car and switched it off, the draw would be there, until I unplugged the alternator. If I plugged it back in, the draw would not return till I ran the motor.So, correct me if Im wrong, but sounds like a rectifier fault correct?

Id say yes the diode pack in the rectifier has failed and causing a drain

Me ether

Was it Barry Harlen? Hes a pretty GC as an inspector  

oh and feel free to discuss here

So progress haven't had much time to work on the beast with the house renos taking my time but ive taken a break and with some fine weather tackled some jobs.

so put new rollcage padding in and some new 6 point harness

put in a 1.5 and a 1kg extinguisher in the car to meet requirements 

and when i got the dcoe 45 off Blizzo he had washed the filter in petrol K&Ns don't like this and they shrink and go hard as you can see a bit of a difference 

fitting it is a challenge as you can see its a wee bit tight for room 

did a bunch of little bits and pieces like fix the washer jets so they spray in a useful place and clean the connector to the wiper motor so they would work properly , also sealed up a few firewall holes, greased the front caliper sliders , replaced the 2 mismatched ht leads, replaced a dodgy hose clamp and fitted a factory expansion bottle that i got from pick a part to replace the random one that was just sitting loose 

I hope you replicate what you have at home uj for sweet outside cooking facilities

don't know much about the electric pumps but you could look at a diesel alternator as they have vac pumps for this very purpose on them 

fuck me even a normal plate has gone up $1049 Tell him hes dreaming

Time for a fezz Ed?

or if you just wanted to get it running just use a standard 4age dizzy with the hyperpack module http://hyperpak.co.nz/Products/Toyota/

timing chain in my rally car 

and a piston out my old rg 150 

Talk to the toyota parts guy on here from palmy for the toyota prices too

talk to the mount shop or autolign they should be able to sus something id say 

seems as the other kit you need to make it is no longer available 

Has anyone had any experience with doing launch control and rev limiter diy on a carbed car ? see you can buy them at 2-300$$. Surely something can be done with an arduino keen to put a rev limiter on my rally car for when I get a bit too rev happy and avoid any damage when getting airborne. Saw someone on here had done it with a mx5 using ecu inputs ect 

might want to do some digging husky used them quite a bit in the rideons and judging by when you spun it it didnt turn did you try it in any other gears ?

Not a hydrostatic drive?

so not much has happened just tackling some of the small jobs and fixing some shitty wiring 

Ever since I got the car it seemed to take forever to warm up but the fans would come on since my sender was in the top hose and the fan switch wasn't I figured the thermostat may be stuck shut and it was when I tested it so , New thermostat , radiator cap and gasket went on. I also tidied up some wiring as the terratrip had a 15 A glass fuse in it and had those shitty push in holders I hate as they can cause bad connections so put in 2x new blade fuse holders and the correctly rated fuses. wired it up some dash switches to power the terratrip and intercom and the intercom seems to work but I need to buy some headsets to test it. Bled up the cooling system and sits rock solid at 180-190 deg F with the new thermostat and doesn't take long to warm up from cold.

was just going by the seat of the pants ometer was a 2.4L one 

Err the only way 126 flywheel kw's is going to haul ass is in a motorcycle.

Nice colour though, should be super reliable compared to some golf that you have to put air into to unlock the doors.

A word of warning, don't rev it too hard, a workmate of mine had one if these in wagon form for a bit after he sold his clubsport wagon. It ended up with an escape artist conrod. He did beat down on it pretty heavily though.

When you have been driving a 2.5l turbo diesel courier for the last year it hauls ass and compared with an average corolla hatch, I think its faster than the blade I drove too and much faster than the brand new focus I had as a work car.

we paid 7500 he wanted 7995 originally 

just picked up a 2005 axela 23s in manual 126kw man this thing hauls arse it has 210ks on it but dam the suspension is firm and handles like its on rails , interior is super tidy and outside has a few chips here and there but overall is in good nic.

how do you go about running LED's and all that jazz off a 6v system? would like to retrofit some better 12v stuff to my little bikes

most led setups run on 6v just fine
