yeah great pic looks bloody cold there,

how come yours revs to 8000rpm?

Mine also revs to 8000; I think Mat and I have the exact same head setup. Performance valve springs and retainers plus poncams, my tuner thought it was safe to rev that high.

Rev limit gets set in the Haltech (Or link in Martins case) and apparently with the springs and retainers etc 8000rpm is where the party is!

Edit - And nope that was a pretty warm day!

You have a better setup that me as your head has been off ;)

Gave the headlights a quick wipe with PLAST-X today, cant wait to get home and finish it as they look so different even with a quick wipe! Very impressed!

A quick snap from this morning while i was checking a few things, i cant wait to get the bay all cleaned up and take some decent shots.... I will head down to the bolt shop and find new stainless bolts for the timing case cover etc just to make it look a bit cleaner, ill also give the runners etc a good clean up so it all looks nice and neat.

I would leave the rad as is, alloy enhances the black theme IMO.

I was thinking the same thing. It matches the comp cover, hose clamps and other little silver bits in the engine bay.

Starting to think the same, by the time i go out and get shiny bolts and clean everything up properly it should look OK!

Its still got coolant and shit everywhere from that radiator drama :glare:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
