Thanks to the guys that lent me cable ties, it nearly got me home :dry:

Better him doing it there rather than being told no only for him to go round the corner and do it anyway but on public roads.

found it amusing that the last one on for skids was one of theses

a P plater and all

Mr. Cassbo looks like our next budding photographer! Some great shots on his FB page. Good reason to get on his friends list.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks Eric! Love getting positive feedback :woot:

Unfortunately I plan on being on the smoky side of the camera for next Texi so quality and quantity may suffer. Don't use this as an excuse to sabotage my car though :P

I'll be dumping high(er) res photos onto Flickr tonight for all those who are still without Facebook ;)

^^^Exactly. He was quite polite about having a quick go too and came up to say thanks afterwards

Yeah no drama with it.

Just mad I missed out on getting the really smoky pics.:

^ That's super cool, I can see myself just to the right of Aggro's car

I've got the time sheets. Might just scan them and post rather than hand typing them in (royal PITA).

Heh that's kind of why I re-wrote my timesheet out neater during the lunch break ;)

Image 4 - Supra ego hurt so driver took it out on the grass...

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
