That dash wouldn't be hard to replicate poit. I personally wouldn't give up my factory dash for that, but that's me. To make that in 1-1.6 mm ally sheet would be fairly easy, weekend job tops. Looks to be just satin black, few hole saw bits to match ur gauge sizes etc. looks NASCAR spec

yeah I think I should just tidy up my stock dash and leave it, take the heater core and AC out too, seeing as they're not hooked up...

I need to make some door cards more than anything!

I've been fooling around with the 33 and took some pics to share.

So I thought I had a pretty major problem when at symmons plains I was getting some SERIOUSLY bad vibe through the wheel\car when going faster than 90kph. I was like the f**k my car is going to fall apart.

I was pretty convinced that something was seriously a miss with the passenger side front suspension\bearings, something was not right. I pulled it all down and low to behold, it was all brand new, it wasn't till I was putting the wheel back on that I discovered the massive flat spot on the tyre -_- FAIL

Then I painted and fitted my new wheels, they're Rays SS7 18x9.5 +38 but to get them to fit I had to install a 15mm bolt on spacer as they fouled on the upper wishbone(?) when on full lock now it clears by about 1mm. They were gold but now they're Matte black, and I'm thinking of painting the lip red to match my lensos and break it up a little. The tyres are Dunlop D03Gs in a medium Compound, 245\40\18 for the front and 265\35\18 on the back.

I'm pretty sad about my Drift Teks getting so f**ked up after my little spill at Symmons :( Those rocks hurt!!

I also put in a passenger seat for the Charity Rides day in a few weeks :)

I also fitted some new brake pads, Hawk DTC-60 should pull the while whale up nicely :)

Hey Pete if you didn't already know its really easy to add a stripe to the wheels. You can either buy some red pin stripe or cut a pice out of vynal. It can just be a strait pice. As you put it on the wheel it will flex as such and turn a strait line into a curved line. So no need to paint it or cut out round stripes. I have done this neumerous times to wheels on a race car I used to look after.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
