Hey All,

Thanks for the comments. It was a long and argeous road to get where we ended up. Bit bummed on the RWD run as the rollers were a little slippery. Even with an extra 400 kgs of ballast couldn't help my car grip :)

I need to give special thanks to Gerald, Nige, Pete, Karlos, Mick, Jack and all the others involved in the car for putting in the special tireless efforts over the last couple weeks to get this car in order and making silly numbers on the dyno. Without their help, this would not have happened. This car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat mornign and then moved into Jeff's Shed before the general public were let in.

30kms of running in was all the time we had to check the engine. Seems pretty strong :)

Heading out to NDSOC Drag Day on 28 May for those who are interested in watching this thing run. Should be interesting.

I'll work on the footage soon but I've got a fair bit of it so it may take awhile.

i went saturday....had a quick run around the show to check out the cars and stayed the whole time at dyno area for that run........boy was it worth it.....i was right in the corner aswell so the flame was AWESOME!!!

    • 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!
