Just get a non ac belt and keep the serpentine system. It's neater and has less drag anyway.

Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

Anyhoo... I smashed out a small rust repair out of some sheet. I know it's rough, but it'll work...
Back at it then, I guess... :P
Got my 5 stud conversion today, would have fitted them but they gave me the wrong seal. $20 for the old rotors from a wrecker, $45 for the bearings and seals. No discount on the bearings... bugger. Dummied up the mag off the val to see what it'd look like :P
Good thing about these rotors is that they use a hat pressed onto the hub: I might be able to fit a better rotor on it in future...
OK........ Just spent a stack on eBay. $219 on a chinese special GT35 and another $49.97 (lol at the exact exchange conversion) on oil lines. Sent the exhaust gasket to the engineer to be copied into a flange to build a manifold. Gotta start watching the pennies now...
Fucking win.

Quickest stock exhaust manifold stud 2JZ in Aus.
Got some EA calipers to fit to it... Does it classify as safety items or do I have to add it to the total?
As for "win", things are starting to happen but I'm not yet cranking about it...
definately not performance.. brakes only slow you down
Finished the lower section of the A-pillar this morning, and picked up some more steel.
Love your work. I'm shit with bodywork, my skills lay elsewhere.Finished the lower section of the A-pillar this morning, and picked up some more steel.

great metal work as usual !
Wow thats a lot of effort to go to for a shit box that only has to do a few drag passes. I say that in the most loving way possible as my first car was one of these. I would love another but they all seem to have rust like that. With those skills you might fully resurrect the beast. Top work.

Good size, it'll be interesting to see how it goes.
Thats basically a copy of the turbo fitted on the BA XR6Teseses.
Except it'll be standard bearing, not a roller.
So no dosing... bugger... LOL
Knocked up half of the rail (they are 2 halves spotted together on the 'tinas) this arvo, tomorrow will be the other half then the engine goes in on saturday.
You're a brave man.
Just a day in the life, man!
Chassis rail is done for the best part. Now motor in tomorrow.
Underside view when half in.
Done.
Why I replaced it...
More to come later!
Fuck what a effort in replacing the rusted out stuff, must be near alone $1300 in beer/alcohol consumed after rust repairs alone
you cant spell advertisements without semen between the tits
It's a holiday, so I've been working at 1:5 can/minutes and amount of work has been quite minimal... Now at least there is heaps of room for the 4L!
And the turbo flange is done- picked it up friday...
Might do a little more prep work on the motor but I'm getting to the CBF stage of the day...
Plonk!
And it'll be in and out while I build the sump... :|
good progress!!
loving the grants and cola! my fav scotch mix. pity we cant buy it here in a can anymore
Nope
I couldn't resist the temptation...
Hahaha! sweet!!
hahaha fuck yeahhhh!
I am really digging this project! Love your work.
1990 E30 BMW 318is - In progress!
1974 KE25 Corolla Coupe - So much rust...
1955 Matchless G9 - On the road and loving it!
1954 Matchless G80 - Because the one above runs too well so I need something more broken...
And a fucking 1962 Rover... Because that makes sense
