ford mountain gives me the shits aye. puky has deteriorated so much since the last time i was there! (3 years ago) but i guess once i get more comforetable with it i think it want feel so bad. i had castrol corner sorted though, i knew i had to to get best top speed so worked at it first.

handling wasnt so great, overly stiff springs all round by atleast 50% but on the upside got alot of comments as to how sweet it looked when i was sketching out goin round the sweeper at only 150kph. was getting off the clock on the back straight, and was steeping out on the hair pin with the crazy grip and slingshot out it. alot of improvements to be made but as with all thing its gona take time!

okay so my holiday to nz finished this weekend. has to be the best holiday ive ever had! car, cars, cars, panelbeating, oldschooling, yarns and the best bunch of GC's, oh and racing! had a really good time catching up with lots of like minded mates. got the cahnce to do some work on the kp whilst i was in nz and as some of you know i even made it to pukekohe for some more testing! first things first though i made it into gt refinishers to get a little more done on the underbody and a bit of strengthening done. once that was sorted i got on to susing out the missing issue. first thig first was to examine condition of fuel and flow from the pump. fuel was stale and pump had shat itself proceeding taupo, very minimal flow! took the walbro out and sent it of to get tested, after a being mucked around slightly i decided to splash out and buy a newbie. put it in and attempted some minor street testing. in doing this i needed a passenger to test for boost leaks as i swore it was to noisy inside the car, after a bit of mucking around i finaly found that the intercooler had the mounting holes on the sides that went straight through to the inside of the intercooler,(doooooohhhhHHHHH) blocked them of then in typical subaru ecu fasion it was even worse. reset the computer then away we went, happy as larry! everything seemed all well and good and ready for the track! basically it ran really well for 3 laps the would block the pre-filter to the pump so would do 3 laps then pit clean filter and head back out , so on and so forth till i was out of gas. all in all im very pleased at how well it went round puky considering i still had no rear brakes and was only boosting 5 psi. cant wait till next time round as i know what i need to sort the last few things out. anyway, enough jiberjaba time for pics In dire need of a wing the walk of shame after geting stranded on the back straight after said fueling issue

will sus motivation and se if the starly will handle the streets this time around. if so im sure it can make an appearance. as lang as theres no steep driveways aye mark haha!

im back between jan 23 and feb 12 so anytime between the suits me

i went to pit stop and the did mine for a cash 20, guessing it only has to be tacked in for a warant. if so any mig will weld it enough for the warrant man

i had a good chuckle also (in my head, OS boes would love this) a dude in finland is putting a 2zz into a kp starlet, this is being built as his daily/mrs summer car. The very beginning. Just a few small things to add and it's ready. Maybe somebody noticed that i left the idea of powerful 7k for this project and instead of i have the 2ZZ-GE. Transmission is J160 6-speed from an Altezza RS200 and rear axle will be a Toyota 8". So all genuine Toyota parts anyway.. Reason not to have an turbocharged 7k is that i can not get it leagally for street and then it would miss the point. In the other hand without thinking is it leagal or not i think 2ZZ is an nice option with all the nowadays goodies including VVTLi and quite nice NA power 192hp with 8700 redline.. Anyway there is a lot of space in the exhaust side for some nice stuff and there's a lot of potential in this engine.. So this will be my wife's ride in the summer time.. Maybe not next summer, but some.

also pretty sure all the utes from 2007 onwards run either 3.7 or 3.6

good find. spent an hour watching videos haha another good tip from the video's is if you have a smart phone download the "miller" app for welder settings, a good starting poit for you to get ranges from

this way you can utilize waht yo have and shouldnt have to make new plates and whay not. theoreticaly there would be alot less friction. remember. keep things simple coz simple shit is easy to fix

just an idea?

lower the right hand bank 20-30 mm so there is less of the chain on the sprocket. therefore less friction. maybe?

until one of them backfires due to lack of exhaust!

that chain looks so seriously tight

i was cheap and would cut the end off of a fudged screw diver

i got my watts link pivot out of a early 90's coon from pick a part. $14 from memory

=( miss oldschoolness. The decisions in life that we have to live with

I woz the dirty as Cunt that turned up then took off again

Finaly this is running hopefully drivable next week

Nah not those ones. The ones that are riveted to the frame an hold the rubber brakeline solid with a c clip

3 questions. Will it be ready before august 19? Why doo the brake lines coil? & Can you get me some of thos brake line brackets? Haha

Yeah I'm getting bearing + cup tmrw along with rod ends to go on the end of the master's. Just need to make up bracket for brake lights and and new master holder bracket thing for all three masters

Pedal box (floor mount) so far. Fuck paying 1k!

hahaha definately considered it haha

Time to step up to the challenge. Contract has expired on the job I'm at. Let's see If I can get the toybaru running on a minimal budget. Don't expect it to be looking it's best if I meet my deadline.
