lol nah, hoping to start it Friday and do some basic tuning in the industrial area with only a dump/front pipe :whistling:

Then it's going on the trailer Sunday morning to take it to another mates house to get the exhaust welded up :thumbsup:

And yeah, ASR sump is the goods, I got mine through Justjap.

That will be very abnoctious with just a front pipe, my 25 with stock turbo was very very load when I took it for a quick blast around duncraig with no exhaust, sick but

Yeah that's why I will trailer it to Padbury to get the exhaust finished :P

The problem is, I can't get it on the trailer with the catback attached and I don't want to wait till Sunday night before I start tuning her. It's all moot anyway unless I can get a throttle cable soon!

PM sent :)

Getting a new cable made up tomorrow, radiator top hose is sorted (butchered a spare bottom hose :laugh:), gotta get a bung for where the old thermoswitch went in the radiator (dunno where mine went :blink:). Need to make a bracket to hold the throttle cable and fix my oil pressure sender wiring.. need someone with small hands! I've already lost two nuts into the depths of the cross member :(

I had a spare hose here, i would have chucked it on the rad if i had known you'd need it. Who make the accelerator cables up? All the final small niggly bits always holds everything up

Nah I got a gtst and gtr top hose and neither fit due to the header tank thing, hacked up a spare bottom hose and it fit pretty nicely, will take pics of completed engine bay tomorrow :D

Flexible Drives are doing the cable.

i have long arms with small-ish hands.

And long fingers :whistling:

If I haven't managed to sort it by the time you knock off, wanna drop in on your way home and lend a hand?:laugh:

First day that i use the train and you want me to come round?

FYI My R32 is still at the dealer, didnt fixt the leak. Even more new parts on it now. May end up with an almost new car by the end.

    • 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.
