its ok dean - you're still welcome in dubbo! we can have a beemer, pajero, zed cruise.. its normal right?
Left that sticker just to make sure your car didn't look classy Dean? Well I'm at the point where the whole loom that goes to the top of the motor is stripped back to individual wires, so it was necessary to label everything. Plenum pull is long done! All the deletes were done with the full 100k service of course...
more shit Took a grinder to some of my OEM intake pipework to clean them up of unwanted tabs and messy welds. Rattle canned them matte black which'll do for now. Before, after with different sides for comparison. Cleaned the rust off of my fender braces and DRENCHED them with clear coat BOSE 2+2 rear speaker boxes arrived courtesy of Sammy! and my floor mats arrived from Japan YAAAAAAYYYY! -A
Are your fender braces steel not alloy? Should have got someone to weld them up properly .. those welds aren't too good .
Just gona thread bomb here, but i won't be in Dubbo much longer guys - finally got my enlistment date! - 15 Jan, im outa here
rigidity yo Bolted up my fender braces! They didn't come with the fitting tool (nut on the end of a metal strip) so I just taped a bolt to the end of a coat hanger. Piece of piss install, considering I had the fenders off already. -A
plenum tuck Here's the next step in what I've been doing for my wire tuck. I've been working on the back of the motor, starting with all the wires for the coil packs and injectors. I stripped back all the loom for the injectors, coils, AAC, VCT, O2's and IACV back to bare wires so I could better re-route them. I decided to split the plenum loom in to two banks (passenger and driver's side) so it could be run separate under each side of the manifold. Extremely simplified, here's how the coil pack wires run OEM: After cutting an extending four wires used by coils #4 and #6, they were all roughly the same length and I was able to pair off the banks, then each cylinder. The split up loom was fitted between the upper and lower plenums, on top of the fuel rail. Starting to make sense? haha. Here's the first trail fit with a spare manifold while mine is off for further shaving. That's with all top-of-engine wires in place. Since the coil packs aren't in at the moment the plugs for them are visible in their locations. One from above. Excuse the yellow tape tabs everywhere! Bit of a PITA going about doing this without a throttle cable cover, that would make it much easier! -A
Yep, think I'm gonna have to get my tuck on... Looks good man! I need details on your plenum / balance tube work too, very keen to do that
Theo did you install a one piece clutch line yet? I'm keen to do mine but cant seem to find any how-to Abraham
