Well, last nite, at 7:30, my baby left my possession.

It was time to move on, it wasnt practical anymore, couldnt take anymore than two people with me, and its hard for an elderly family member to get in and out of the thing.

i loved every minute of owning it, and yes, i also hated it sometimes, i even gave it the nickname of EMO-032.

it wasnt a bad car, it was just, well, a whinger. lol

i didnt really have a chance to properly say goodbye to it, as last nite before the new owner came to pick it up, i had a phone call to say my grandmother had passed away. not a great nite, i must say.

i hope the new owner takes care of it, and im sure he will. im looking forward to seeing it on the road, with someone who can enjoy as much as i did, and possibly even more.

as for my plans, well, i thought about buying a new hilux turbo diesel, but alas, i cannot afford the 30k+ price tag, even with the staff discount lol

so, ive been considering my options, and i am now in the market for a Stagea, preferably an S2 with dual sunroofs.

here are some of the photos i took last nite before it left, sorry for shit quality, was on my phone.

cheers

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
