The pics make it look crap. I've cleaned up the engine bay a fair bit since these photo's. well actually I've cleaned up the whole car.

good to hear man ill look forward to riding with you on the scavinger hunt.

Just out of curiosity why are you using water/meth with an LPG powered motor? the LPG alone should have a good enough cooling effect and I think your going to find the water/meth a detriment in this case. Just a thought...

i hope by 'roadworthy' you mean legal :D

 

oh, and this thing should fly! :D

nah man. lpg burns hotter than normal petrol. the cooler the charge the better.

 

haha but yeah everything works on it except for the hazard lights but i'm getting them fixed. like the indicators work but the hazard light switch does nothing.

 

and it goes pretty hard :D:):D

1G-GTE KE70

 

Did you get your hazard lights fixed?

I'm just wondering, mine has got the exactly the same problem, the indecators work but the hazard lights switch does nothing. Did you have to replace the whole indecator/headlights unit thing?

Seems like the hazard light switch does not bridge both the indecators together. Its a bit hard to get at the switch to have a look.

he's banned isnt he?

don't like ur chances of gettin a reply hehe

hes on toymods still if you want to talk to him there, I'm pretty sure he had it on the road, but i dunno if he fixed the hazards, when i got my safety cert done they never checked the hazards, just the indicators and stuff

g/l fixin it anyway

~andrew~

Yeah I have never had rego check my hazards either.

 

check all your bulbs....this may sound silly, but an incorrect bulb does weird things.

He isn't banned... just owes me money, thats all...
