Woops, i shoulda kept my mouth shut. :D

You just take it out. You can clearly see the black bit of plastic between the plenum and the 90 degree bend, thats the face of the bellmouth. Where the 90 degree bend meets the plenum, there are 3 bolts to undo, undo them slide the throttle body and bend out of the way and pull the bellmouth out. Making sure you don't damage the gaskets either side of the bellmouth. then once you have it out, put it back together. Shouldn't take longer than 30 mins to do it. here are the top 2 you have to undo and there is one underneath.

Get what off a vn mate?

It will never fit, he's using the standard fan by the looks.

This one: It is the factory power restrictor. The series 1 never had it but holden revised the set up coz old grannies were shitting themselves coz the engine was too responsive. So they added this peice of shit to dull it down a bit.

You gotta get that bellmouth out mate! P.s. do i see correct? do you have metal chocks holding the tension on the alternator? :lolcry:

Master cylinder, thats what i meant. It was obvious i have to drill holes, just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

I just did a search but came up with nothing, my question is in regards to the slave cylinder and pedal box set up. I'm gunna have to drill the holes for this thing aren't i? is it easy to do with the intake manifold still on?

Yeah i'll be there, was gunna have my 30 there but it wont be finished in time. so i'm just spectating again this year.

Daaaaaaammmnn! Thats noice! Looks sexy as fark with what i presume is a new coat of jam. Now u need some rims.

a) all the way!!

I just wanna know what you gotta go through to get it engineered. If you can get it engineered i'm putting a 1uz in one for sure!!!!

Shoulda got it rego'd first, might have been easier. Unless of course your getting it engineered?

Thanks guys, appreciate your input. I'm gunna have to source another gearbox i guess, as for the brakes ill send it to a brake specialist as previously stated. cheers.

Dude i work 12 hr night shift and i'm 300 kays away from the engine, gimme a break. It will get done as soon as i can get around to it. I want it as much as you guys but my main priority right now is finding a door so i can get it on the road first. cheers.

I replaced the fluids in the auto less than 3 months ago and it was still doing it. I'd say its just rooted. I will send it to a brake specialist to get checked out i guess.

Hi all. Firstly, my missus has been complaining that the brake pedal on her 71 sometimes goes almost to the floor then the next time its nice and firm, any ideas?. Secondly, the auto in this thing nearly takes your head off when it changes into second gear. Is this normal? it would be ok if it was worked but it is dead stock. :) Any ideas would be appreciated.

Yeah they were in the build pics, will try and get more pics soon. Willie, what do you mean whats the dash out of?. Its a corolla dash just with polished aluminium inserts.

Hey man did you have to mount the engine to the passenger side a bit for the drivers side exhaust manifold to clear?

It is rego'd yes but not engineered. He doesn't drive it on the street, rego is purely to get it into the springnats and other car shows that require rego'd vehicles.

This aint mine unfortunately, posting on behalf of a friend. 355 stroker, vn heads, 11.1 compression, trimatic, 5000 converter, vl turbo diff, 31 spline axles, nos kit, 15x10 & 15x3 1/2" convo pros. All good for 500 hp at 7000 rpm. I know its not everyones cup of tea but i f@$kin luv it!
