In news today, offically have been promoted at work to head lotus tech/senior technician, also been given a payrise.

Well done mang.

If you're allowed to say, what company do you work for?

Work for Euromarque Brisbane, have done for 6 years now.

Martin bit of a tough one there, Team Lotus or Lotus-Renault. I do prefer the Lotus-Renault for the traditional JPS colour scheme, will be a good year though for them, massive factory upgrade, new importer into the country (don't have to deal with proton anymore) and new models coming out, looks like i'll be a little busy.

Congrats.

Hahah yer scott i couldn't resist! i thought you would have been freaked out a little.

Pretty sure the brumby has broken something in the box, when you accelerate it sounds like a clicking CV, when cruising along it makes the same noise / bearing noise also but that all goes when you push the clutch in and coast along. So im thinking i'll get a good condition gearbox and a new clutch to throw in, i'll also replace the CV boots and inspect them for wear. Thoughts?

Yeah, had me wondering what was going on! A second hand box and clutch will cost you a lot less than a hilux or a WRX......The Brumby should keep on truckin' on when you have sorted.

Started off wiping/cleaning/polishing peoples tools and now he's been promoted to a glorified Coffee boy... :nyaanyaa:

BTW, which coffee shop do you go to??

/\ AND this.

Glad that's sorted :D

McFly, all the fiddly bits are done on youe ECU now. Just need t ofit the chip socket and we're away!

I did find a 5 speed conversion on ebay, complete with tail shaft and rear diff for $595.... thinking i might go that way with it.

damn right!

hey jon you've got mates in the wrecking business, i need a dual range 4 speed gearbox for a 1991 subaru brumby. How much you think that would go for?

cant remember seeing 1 in wreckers for while but ill ask a mate of mine, his family repairs/builds subarus for a living mainly wrx's etc, he has a 2dr sti wrx and a brumby with twincam turbo motor.

worth a shot, has alot of old shitas laying around...

jon.

yer 4 speed with a hi/lo ratio is the normal thing for them, if you can find a 5 speed box i would need the gearbox, rear diff and tailshaft.

hurry up dent repair man, i have sleep to catch up on...

damn these 5am starts...

sick as a dog too... why is it so hard to get the good shit at the chemist these days...

i wasted $16 on some bullshit cold and flu yesterday and its done nothing, give me the farkin good stuff...

im not going to turn it into speed, i just want it cause it works...

i should take back the other shit and make them refund it, its shit...

Morning Mangs,

Road the bike into work. Didn't appear to take any less time but I did enjoy going to the front of the lights every time :thumbsup: So where is lazserhunt this week?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
