Finally got my go-pro footage from the SAU track day back on the 29th of Oct 2013 @ SMSP south circuit.

here was my last run where I got a free run with no traffic and managed 3 awesome laps

2x 1:09's and a 1:10.

best of the day was a 1:09.14 with consistent 1:09's all day long :)

starting to get p*ssed off with all the little niggly bits, so I'm going to try and sort them out before I loos my sh*t:

1) redo my headlights
2) need to get the bonnet struts as the fibreglass bonnet is to flimsy to support by the stock arm and so the AXIS bonnet add on is starting to fall off.

3) this radio change over has been a massive PITA, hate the aftermarket A/C buttons, and seems as though I've blown part of the BCM that controls interior lights, tail lights and parker lights so now I need to replace the BCM which seems more or a PITA than it should be.

4) need to tidy up my gauges as it looks like sh*t so going to have to pull my finger out and make a fibreglass one!!!
5) should probably replace my drive belts and fuel filter I'm guessing they are well over due!!!

6) need to get this window washer bottle cos its a PITA having a dirty window all the time that I cant clean whilst I'm out

once all this is done I might feel better cos atm I'm getting annoyed my cars turning to sh*t because of neglect!!!

ah well that's my rant for the week!!! :)

I still have no 6 in pieces. :domokun:

I'll get cracking.

You makin a washer bottle Dale?

I did a cardboard mock up about a billion years ago for Theo; will use the OEM filler neck, and the side also acts an air guide for his oil cooler.

I have all the sheet guillotined and bent, neck made, then we had another kid. :rolleyes: I need to machine some bosses for the pumps to push through then get off my arse & weld it.

I'm so busy at work now, I barely get time to do my paperwork in the extra hour I work on top of my 12hr shift. Weekends used to be fab time; not anymore.

It might hold a litre of water, with the neck volume added; a little more.

It's something I was interested to make for myself, sounds way too complicated to make multiples of though.

I would love to get a second oil cooler in there... Not like you need 40L of washer fluid anyway. :P

I have the advantage of being able to use my cardboard mock up for templates; I'll see what this one turns out like.

A litre odd would last long enough.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
