Popular Post shizzl Posted January 20 Author Popular Post Posted January 20 Damn near threw in the towel on this today. Kicked my ass. wired up the brake light switch, speed sensor, horn. then decided it was time to put juice to the sparkle circuit. dafuq. Nothing. Hmmm, even copied the factory loom too. pissed around for ages, gave up in a huff. went home, sank a cold snack and decided to go back because I may not have actually grounded the battery to the chassis and body. Ffs. hazards, park lights fired up, reverse lights work. But nothing else. pussed round some more and realised that the headlight circuit powers to ground (wtf!!!) pulled that fuse, noticed 2 grounds were really poor contact points, changed that and the dash, can pad and fan controller fired up. horn works great too, wipers go. so the only issue is with the headlight circuit. Dammit. dash looks epic though Is it too late to get shit powdercoated? Haha dropped off the washer bottle and deck panels this morning. 3 days to go!! 18 1 Quote
Popular Post shizzl Posted January 21 Author Popular Post Posted January 21 We got power everywhere, except the wipers now , haha. mustve upset its earth somewhere. tough shit. It’ll keep for now. got everything on/off on key. Found a few errors where I sent constant power to accessories. need to find a 6pk820 belt, might have to settle for a 5pk as no one locally has stock of the 6s that short. will attempt to do underlay and carpet tonight. 12 Quote

Popular Post shizzl Posted January 24 Author Popular Post Posted January 24 Feeling quite overwhelmed tonight. i got this back from the painter on the 28th dec. i had 7 days away camping before i got to play with it. 3 weeks is a mental push and im so burnt out from it. my stupid worker decided to take my drill with him today, so he had both drills and no need for them. so i didnt get to finish the decking 100%. Angus. but I did drive it into the show hall. still needs another brake and clutch bleed. fuck me does it pulse good. so here’s a black and white pic of it parked in the hall. colour will be revealed to all tomorrow. 42 1 Quote

Popular Post shizzl Posted February 2 Author Popular Post Posted February 2 Just did a full caliper rebuild in the 4 pots, found that 3/4 of the pistons were not having a good day. they seem happier now. need to refit them and bleed it up again. also got given a free entry into Jamboree at the end of March in lieu of the cancelled drag day. that gives me 7 weeks to sort out any of the stuff I didn’t get to make right. like finishing the decking, correct clamps on the battery cable/fuel line. and realigning the exhaust. then after that I’ll try and get it in for a cert. 13 Quote
Popular Post shizzl Posted February 3 Author Popular Post Posted February 3 Leaf springs were far too rigid and didn’t give any droop. sure I could’ve pulled a few leaves and pissed around with them. But why not play with some bars. so I dragged the diff out this morning. already had a stock housing with 2 lower link mounts fitted. So chucked that in to see how it’ll work. then much pissing round with upper mounts I just have it all tacked together. had to cut out the shock mount bar and the 2 bars I added for the hoop and tank. these will get a bridge made to support them and will add it a new shock mount bar set up. 10 Quote
Popular Post shizzl Posted February 5 Author Popular Post Posted February 5 Decided to pull the nugget out of the current diff (was going to use the one in the new 4 link diff). glad I did, check out what I found!!! a 3.72 lsd the stock nuggy is an open 4.1 rocking horse poopy I have found, and look at the condition of those gears!! I need to find some coilovers now (QA1 or affco style) I have QA1 PROMA Star DS302’s in the front. will need something with slightly more travel in the rear. 18 Quote
Popular Post shizzl Posted February 7 Author Popular Post Posted February 7 Triangulated 4 link completed. decided to cut off the factory spring mounts and relocate the forward lower link further forward. now I need to redo the brake line mounts, handbrake cable mounts, shocks and mounts, bracing for the fuel tank. I will set the ride height to have around 40mm between the chassis and diff and fit a bump stop either off the side of the chassis or find a Coilover with a built in bump stop. ideally I want to relocate the tank to go under the deck too 18 Quote
