alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

Good idea. I hear Dale's doing nothing these days anyway...

Lol, I'm a freaking bludger; all I do is sleep & whinge... :yucky:

We can have a look on Saturday mate, we just need to find how much room is needed from the back of the aperture.

Might be able to knock up a trial & see what works. :thumbsup:

yeah dale doesnt do anything except fabricate stuff for stagea people. isnt that his fulltime job??

Lol, AND I've been working for my Ceramic Coating mate in his workshop doing some performance fabrication; currently stuffing a 4AGE Turbo into a KE10 Corolla, and just about to start a 20 valve into a Sunbeam Alpine...

The Corolla is nearly finished; most of what I've been doing is modifying pipework to run a full plumb back blowoff valve setup (engineering requirement), and mounting an airbox under the passengers side front guard; as there's no room in the engine bay for anything at all.

Some pics of the KE10;

Lol, tonnes of room to the brake master. Hope the engine mounts are stiff!

Would be fun. What's the chassis like in those, stiff or soggy?

Yeah, I know; I wasn't involved at that stage, but it has very stiff engine mounts, they're based on a 4WD leaf spring shackle bush in a custom mount.

The front has been modified from a transverse leaf spring :blink: , to coilover struts with big brakes, and BIG swaybars front & rear; but I don't plan to go anywhere near it when it's finished.

It's going to be deadly.

Nice. :)

I fit a 1J into a T18 Corrolla for a mate a couple of months ago. No engineers cert required for that over here apparently. lol.

The T18 was a pretty ordinary handling car from the get go; must be a bit of work to make one go 'round a corner with a 1J...

I do like the way they sound though.

1J's that is... :whistling:

So less than 24 hours after getting the new wheels on, actually did some impromptu tarmac rallying...

Coming along a suburban street at night, in the dark, doing the posted limit (60), and all of a sudden the car hit a dip and got what felt like pretty serious air - felt like it cleared the second dip, and landed down on an angle, drivers side first. Classic rally style.

Wish there was photographer!

Car looks fine, no obvious damage. Woman and I were ok, I just had a headache from where my head hit the roof pretty hard.

Turned around to see why there wasn't a sign warning of the dip to see there was, but the council hadn't pruned the tree in front of it, and the sign was completely obscured when approaching from the direction I was approaching from. Other direction is fine, both signs are clear and obvious.

Will try to get it up on the hoist next weekend and have a proper look, but it feels and looks fine, so I'm hoping it hasn't done any damage to anything I can't see.

Far out! hope everything is good.

Anyone watching the streams of the LeMans 24hrs? shattered the deltawing got put out early. Never was competitive, but would have been good to watch it go round.

The sideswipe that put delta wing out was interesting. As was Anthony Davidsons back breaking crash. Poor guy.

What stream are you watching Alex?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
