December 6, 201510 yr comment_701823 Random question to another ms85 crown owner: what does the diaphragmatic valve thing sitting in the right hand side of the engine bay- about middle of the wheel arch and inside the frame hole, its where if you put your hand in you can touch the outter passenger guard?. It could be something to do with the carbed 4m but i don't know, i cannot figure out what its there for, mine was never hooked up when I got the car. Awesome build btw Edited December 6, 201510 yr by ms85er Report

January 15, 201610 yr Author comment_702420 long time no update. A fair bit has been done. but mostly stuff your wouldnt know. wiring, bolt replacements. bracket fabrications etc. anyway a few pics got the b&m cable all sorted so the trans now has shifting action. radiator modded. new outlets. and two sensor ports added power steering lines to the left done. power steering cooler mount changed a bit and remounted front end back together. all new stainless bolts. new windscreen arrived. although its a weird fit to the car. unsure if it can be used. sent the diff off to be put together. goen from 4.1 open. to a 3.9 LSD new bearings and seals throughout Report
January 15, 201610 yr Author comment_702421 bit more of a fun post. Scored a heap of audio gear for a good price. and later in the year... i have this badboy coming at me. thats all for now Report
January 17, 201610 yr Author comment_702456 well it drives!! took it for a spin last night. the LSD is rediculously tight. like a locker. having an issue with it not selecting first.. we think it's a adjustment issue with the b&m shifter. when it does select first holy hell does it go. great fun.

Tidied up some wiring and made a start on the battery tray. Report

January 28, 201610 yr Author comment_702689 dash back together. check engine light in the bottom right corner. Park brake switch works. Brake fluid warning light is being a pain. its wired right but the switch itself in the MC is backwards to the original crown one. Oil pressure light is wired but not connected to the motor just now. new tails.. been sent off for heavy mods. will update as they happen. new roof lining should be in by end of weekend then i can finish off the interior. but its mostly done. Took it for a strap last night.. was a little wet, the car was basically on ice skates. good fun. Report
