you word things weirdly. though i knew what you meant. just thought maybe you had done most of an epic marathon of some sort.

I've been doing an epic marathon for the past week and a bit lol

y'all whinging about someonewho has dialogue and a name nobody remembers being killed off.

back in OZ, average of 1 character death per episode. that shit ran for 6 seasons. OZ was doing it before it was cool.

OZ was the bidness

And sharpened finger nails, so boss

that scene was BOSS

Jumping on car list from few pages back.

91 Hyundai excel, rolled

88 Honda prelude, bought with front end damage, repaired, filled with coolant, leaking, figured water pump gave to workshop to fix/rwc, turned out block was cracked in accident, left it there.

96 R33 taxi, drove it, loved it, shat auto, took off road, threw money at, sat, got over it, parted out

86 Toyota Corolla, borrowed off mum, shat engine, replaced with engine from other, shat gearbox long time later, mum cbfd so went to scrap

and you're still on your P's, yeah?

chasing a quote for a custom-made sump. any recommendations?

is scotty busy? car is off the road so will probably only be able to give stock sump and photos for an idea.

I have never made a sump before, but if you have pics I could probably copy some other design...

    • 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.
