The only reason I don't go to local car meets is because I can't stand to look at roof racks on piece of shit cars.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Roof racks are not a mod and they look like poo! They should be reserved for old Volkswagons and people who actually need them to transport shit (excluding Huffy sliders).

I can't remember, but I know they don't fit. I have tried.

Yep, that's correct.

Nope, you need to use AE86 hubs and brakes.

That dash/tailgate is remarkable.

Dunno, maybe he doesn't like Beerwah. I hope I get this on the road for the 10 year cruise, so everyone can see how shit it is and how big of a waste of 5 grand and 16 months of my time it has been. That would be great ;) I actually drove it the other day with 6 month old fuel, on standard suspension, the worlds worst backyard wheel alignment and a bent steering wheel (don't buy steering wheels off ebay). What a terrible experience that was, it felt like driving a soggy cardboard box with a wipper snipper motor. Everything was so sloppy and unresponsive, I need to put the coilovers and new wheels on asap. And put new fuel in it too, the fuel light has been on for over a year now...

I finally got my car engineered today. Randall from modplate.com (All Vehicle Modification Services) was the guy who did the modplate, it took about 20 minutes and cost me $200 ($150 for first code including call out fee and $50 for every additional code). I got 2 codes: LA2 and LB1 (engine and gearbox conversion), the fuel system upgrade from standard mechanical fuel pump to a lift pump and high pressure EFI pump with an external swirl pot/surge tank was included in the engine code. Basically the engineer looked over the car, took some photos, checked the engine number and VIN, asked me some questions about the car, checked out the brakes etc., wrote up the modification certificate and stuck the plate to the firewall. It was quite easy.

This cost me $200 (including the call-out fee) and took 20 minutes of my time. I don't understand why people risk not having it done. I got the gearbox and engine modplated. I should also add that Randall from modplates.com is a champ. Thanks to Leo, KE70Dave and Mark1414 for recommending him. Now it's time to get it roadworthy, things that are on my list: - fix rust - replace heater tap valve (does anyone have a spare? They don't seem to be available new) More pics of rust :(: I've already started cutting it out/grinding it back. Just need to get some metal to fill the holes and then I can bog it up.

I think this: looks better than this:

They look better without the centre cap anyway.

Nice commentary

Dayummm, I'd own the shit out of a CF70! Are you ever going to finish the Ruckus?

I've never ever seen a 4K-U, did they even come out in Australia?

^Still managed to flare the fenders better than most KE70 owners.

I've only ever seen one Dax in real life, they are so cool. I've seen a fair few Z50s around but only ever one Dax, probably because they cost a squillion dollars and people take infinity years to restore them, so they just sit in people's sheds all the time. If I had one I would rep dat shit errrrday. Seeing two in the same place is cool, people must have been tripping balls when they saw your little crew.

Getting this thing ready for a roadworthy certificate is a bitch. One of the pins on the reverse light switch was broken, could have bought a new one from Toyota but they're like $100 from what I've heard (couldn't find an aftermarket one that would fit?): Soldered a wire to where the pin was broken off, melted the insulation a bit. Tested it with a multimeter and it was working fine: Ran new wires from the switch to where it meets the loom in the engine bay because it was an auto and it didn't have any: Reverse lights still didn't work, found the problem: Put in a new fuse and now the lights work! Also fitted a charcoal canister but it's ugly as so I didn't take a picture. Next is a backyard wheel alignment, and then to cut out all the rust... :n:

^I absolutely hate it when people try to go fast in the slow lane and have to constantly weave between traffic just to maintain their speed in the slow lane. If people want to go fast they should use the fast lane, also if people want to overtake they should overtake on the right, overtaking on the left is wrong IMO.

Pretty much what I meant haha, I will make sure it is at least 100mm off the ground. Yeah I think the chrome bar will look much better in black, the cheap chrome has rusted through anyway. The front end will be black lip, black bumper, black grill and black headlight surrounds In other news I've booked it in for Engineering on Tuesday next week, then I'll sort out a roadworthy after that. I really need to fix the rust haha! Also got my gauges wired up and mounted, the water temp gauge is working but I still need to fit the modified sandwich plate with the ports tapped for the oil temp and pressure sensors to get the oil gauges working. Though that can wait.
