Mr Vapour 1,366 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 how are you going to get on with the mods to the pedal box? Will it not have to be design approved?? Looks like a top job though. Wish i had the time to work as fast as you seem to. (i wish i had the time to work!!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yeah. I will need to do all that sort of stuff when it comes to cert time. We are checking as we go with the certifier, so it should be all good for the cert when it is finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avenga 1,368 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Awesome. Thanks for those links. I will check them out now. I am running 5x114.3 all round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Damn, these look nice, They say they can make them to order with any offset http://www.performancewheels.com.au/product/challenger-forged/ Or they also do hotwires Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mof 13,145 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Is it just me, or do those spokes look really thin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah, they do on the hotwires. I like the first one better anyway. I used to have hotwires on my old Avenger race car so I sort of wanted something different and have always liked the look of those first ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kyteler 59,711 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I reckon those magnums with the smallest possible size to fit over the brakes with precision width and offset would be perfect in keeping with the clean almost stock look. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That induction noise will be ruthless in the cabin 10/10 I like induction noise so it should sound pretty cool. I am going to build a little enclosure around it so it will suck air in through the plenum. 21 minutes ago, MRT1TRD said: May I recommend using N2O for a heater when it backfires Haha, good idea. I have already brought my new heater. Using this electric one https://dcthermal.com/product/sa12-4000-12-volt-brushless-cab-heater/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vertigo 26 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hey dude, long time no see. Good to see you still doing the expensive car toy things. Been bitten myself - got two AW11 MR2's now, with one donating its 4AGE turbo to the daily soon. Be cool to catch up some time. -Cam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hey Cam!!! Yeah, it has been way too long! I'll send you a PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyingbrick 9,034 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Very surprised that you purchased something from cartune. Who did you deal with there? That place and owner has interesting history... I thought it was long gone/closed. Edit. Even more perplexed the more i think about this and read. That website is extremely out of date and completely irrelevant - none of those services exist at the stated location. Infact the owner moved out to live/work on his parents (i think) farm maybe 2? Years ago. Super odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I brought it from Kelvin at Cartune. Been chatting to him via emails. He was really quick, brought it on Trademe on Wednesday, arrived today. I don't know anything about their history other than they have done a lot of 1UZ conversions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact he is promoting cartune (and that website) is just bizarre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga 1,368 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Yeah, I don't know. I just brought it off trademe and chucked up the link in case anyone else doing a similar engine swap wanted to do the same thing and run only the alternator. He did say that he lived and worked on a family farm. He wasn't promoting the website, other than his email address was at that website and he sent a business card with that URL in the package. It's the only bit that I have brought from them and I saw it, and it fits my needs so I brought it. I'll let you know how it goes when I get the engine running but it looks nicely made and the service was quick and the communications was good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sunbeam 848 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Novel solution putting the air filter inside the car. Have you considered A.Noise and B. needing to run it with the windows open in case it sucks your brain out/implodes the windows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
