Someone has to show you boys how it's supposed to be done 
Ill post some pics of the under IC fan mounts in the next couple of days they are a work of art.
If ita aint TIG'd its shite

I don't have a TIG  , so anything I make stainless has to be one bent piece. Then pop rivited to the car.
I just shared the grommits from the air con and body loom as they were already torn.

hey guys just curious, with your T-tops what kinda coating is on your glass, are they:
actual tinted inside the glass?
have a film of tint on the under side of the glass?
whats teh go with the reflective ones?
Cause mine are looking a little odd atm, mine have a tint film on the inside cut rather rough so I was wondering toyota wouldn't do that right? in a lot of places it is peeling, and has heat spots on the tint.
I am wondering If i get this tint removed are the tops factory tinted in the glass? or will I have to get them refilmed?
I went and saw a tinting place, they said it wasn't normal to have a film on the glass roof, and if they put a new film on it there is a chance the glass can crack from the heat build up.

Ummm I hit antoher little snag today....
do oversize crank pulley's usually have timing marks on them?
I went to check the timing today and when I chucked the light onto her nothing was showing up on the pulley, so I checked the pulley and couldn't find any marks on it. So how do you check the timing???
the best I can think of is turn it to top dead using the mark on the intake cam, and just paint a line at zero as close as possible on the crank pulley

the 160mm and 165mm have the timing marks on the pulley. the 175mm doesnt, it has a seperate timing pointer that has to be bolted to the sump and timing is done from underneathe.

hmmm well this could be a problem, feral, are the marks the same v grooves as the standard one? this is really gonna cause a problem, cause I am sure it doesn't have any marks, well not that I can see unless they are just etched in the side or something, which is awquard to see with the crank in relation to the chassis.

it dosent look too shabby the only thing that looks strange to me is the zip ties on the hoses i thought that could be done better but it may be tempoary i guess the other thing that i noticed is that there isnt anything stuffed in the inlet of the throttle to stop nasties going into your motor..
Otherwise the plenum and everything else looks very nice

what pulley are you useing?
as far as i know the 175mm pulley has the same style markings on it, though they would be ~180 degrees around on the pulley compared to the stock one. spin the pulley around with a socket/ratchet on the crank pulley bolt and have a good look on the edges of the pulley with a torch.

cable ties ROOL!!!! as long as the tab bit once cut is turned underneathe the hose/wires IMO they are the neatest way to tie or hold things up.
looks good, though a couple things i spot there that i would change. a proper EFI hose clamp should be used on that fuel line running to the FPR and the engine bay temp sensor can be mounted where i have mine above the turbo manifold.
if your paying for someone to do a job and are not happy express your feelings.

feral I have a 165mm pulley, dunno what brand though, that what I did today I got under it and span the crank with a socket and couldn't see the normal markings, very strange, maybe superaw11 might be able to shed some light here, or maybe not

hrmmm... i had a 160mm pulley and a friend had a 165mm pulley, they both had markings on them like the factory one.
the 165mm pulley should still be able to be timed from above like normal. your timing pointer should be bent up a little to clear the pulley?

yeah I am sure you still time it from above, the timing pointer isn't actually bent, the pulley just fits there.
what I am basically wondering do all brand pulley's still put the marks on them, or are there some that don't?

The only box I saw last night.
Who needs aircon when your battery box is this sexy.
|
not a bad looking battery holder and then it doesnt look like you have that wire running through a grommet????
personaly though if i was to mount my battery in the frunk it would be right down the bottom of the well in the middle.
|
You guys have to get out more often 
But yep i am relocating my battery to the frunk as per ferals comments. I am using the spare wheel mount to keep the battery in place with a simple bit of hardware. The spare will still fit over the battery.
Hodgo where in Sydney are you ? would be keen to sus out the rest of the work.

That battery box is very pretty, but, if it doesn't have any support underneath, it will fatigue and crack within a year.

It doesn't look like it has support from underneath the tray in the pictures.
we're just looking out for you mate  as you don't want your battery to tip over in the frunk. If you are like me it doesn't get opened very much...

wiso,
I just had a look at my HKS one that is off the car and basically its as per the above pics. it just has 3 small nicks cut into the outside of the pulley. i can get some dimensions if you like, you could just as easy cut them in with a hack saw
also i saw your 60 second sketch in the latest TEN/10th....very impressive !!!!

Is it not free when you are a MR2 club member ???????
None of them have cost me ??????
cmon boys become a member its well worth it ! stop being so tight
to be honest the main reason i did was because of the CAMS affiliation that i need to race the state championships etc but there are other advantages other than that and the mag. 
PS your write ups have been good John.
What did you think about the write up on the SC14 ?
It was very detailed but how about the results !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read through this detailed cut this file that drill this out etc etc etc................and that was it ?????????
Did i miss something ?????
PS i drifted the NA ever so nicely this morning, right up to a median strip, did not touch it but boy it was close
EDIT this was with the 16 year old tires on

maybe i should clarify.
When i got the car back in 1990 it had 30000km and it had a new set of tyres (bridgestone RE88 185 60) on the original wheels.
I put about 20000km on the tyres, only on the side walls Then i thought it was time to get some new wheels and tyres so the originals went into storage for the last 14 years !!. Since getting the new car and racing it the 15x7 that were on the NA got the race tyres fitted to them so the NA got its original wheels and tyres put back on.....thats why they are 16 years old, still only done 20 od thousand clicks. and surprisingly they seem to perform as i remember that they did all those years ago......NOT VERY WELL
Hope that clarifies.....
I should put them on the SC now that would be very interesting 
As 4agte would say "i would spend more time looking out the side window"

umm ok I had a good look under the car today in good light, the pulley is 160mm, and it did have timing marks, not very big ones though, usually they are v grooves, this has a shallow line for them, I put some white paint in them so they would show up on the light but still no good, the lines aren't pronounced enough to show up under the timing light, so I will have to use more white paint

Wiso,
You are JOKING i got them specially polished just for you !!, this is very dissapointing news
Seriously tho if anyone is intersted in these wheels you better let me know soon, they are either going into the trading post or to a second hand wheel shop or ebay or something.
they are straight and in excellent condition... MAKE ME A REASONABLE OFFER, if anyone wants any details let me know.
Also i still have the superlow springs sitting around, again let me know before i put them up formally

Thinking back now,I recall a few years back pulling the timing light out and having a go at checking the timing in that car.
I pointed the light down and saw no marks,repeated that a fair few times before deciding I couldnt be f#cked as it was running well anyway.

I was thinking about it, if you put some sort of decent load spreader behind the bolts in the back of the box, it might be OK, just don't rely on standard washers. Aluminum is very soft and it will start to crack around the bolt holes otherwise.

You must have missed the Hunter Valley run of a couple of weeks ago then!
We try and mix up our events so they are shared around the regions. There are normally a couple of events a year north, a couple south, and a couple west. Plus any supersprints and other track events, go kart days etc.

I was thinking about it, if you put some sort of decent load spreader behind the bolts in the back of the box, it might be OK, just don't rely on standard washers. Aluminum is very soft and it will start to crack around the bolt holes otherwise.

make it out of steampipe Hodgo, it's great stuff and wont crack.

"steampipe"
You guys crack me up !!! how about some cable ties.....or better still electical tape

yeah that snow was fun hey, I was also interupted by it, then I went for a quick spin in it 1000% dorifto bro
I have finally adjusted the timing. after not seeing the painted marks I did on it yesterday, I put big fat paint lines on it today... still couldn't see them under the light, so I put some more marks at about 20 and 25 degrees, no wonder I couln't see the marks all along, it was off the scale running about 23 deg BTDC, hence the 3 standard marks were behind the waterpump out of sight. So its back to 10deg BTDC now, I'll see how it goes for a while, I may put it back to about 15 eventually.
so that would also be why you couldn't see the marks neil, just hidden from sight.
To be honest I am amazed if its been running this for such a long time and it hasn't blown up... strong little motors

Wiso,
You are JOKING i got them specially polished just for you !!, this is very dissapointing news
|
I am sorry man don't hate me 
nah the 15"s are what I always wanted for this car, I have been eyeing these off for ages on my mates rolla, but he has just got the 17"s he wanted so now he said I can have them
scott is your SC engineered? engineered with those 16"s? if you do happen to sell your SC like you have advertised and you no longer have the 16"s on it, the engineers report becomes null and void. This was one of the problems I had getting my new 2 registered, the engineers cert has 15"x7" wheels, while she currently has 14"x6" standard size, but the eng cert overwrites the standard stuff, so they weren't happy, but I just managed to get it to slide. but now she will have 15x7"s again

Someone has to show you boys how it's supposed to be done
Ill post some pics of the under IC fan mounts in the next couple of days they are a work of art.
If ita aint TIG'd its shite
|
I don't have a TIG , so anything I make stainless has to be one bent piece. Then pop rivited to the car.
I just shared the grommits from the air con and body loom as they were already torn.
|
good example pics davedave, I'll be doing a similar thing very soon. My welding cable looks almost the same too.
I have been thinking of routing the cable underneath the car instead though - having it covered by the plastic protector thing under the car - Would there be anything wrong with doing it that way?
And thats just a big fuse you've got in the front there isn't it? how many amps is it rated at?
Cheers,
Adam.

dude that was with it bridging the t and e1 conecter, I know how its done...
I though it strange aswell, I took a measurement of how far it was from 0 - 10 - 15 original marks and from that measurement I marked on the 20/25/30, It was pretty much between my 20 and 25 mark. I did wanna used the marks on the cam belt cover to determine that, but they were hard to see.

Ben,
Love your work...keep those pics coming !!
Wiso,
When i got my car it came from Melbourne.
When i got it registered in NSW it had to get a Blue slip which is a detailed inspection. They cross reference engine numbers chassis numbers etc They also check for modifications outside of the NSW guidlines. As such they checked the engine capacity etc, the wheel size, tyre OD, track ride height etc etc. this all took about 3 hours and cost a packet.
According to the inspector all the mods were with the guidline that dont require an engineers certificate and from the research i have done it all seems to check out OK

Yeah,I figured you new how to do it,I just thought i would point out the obvious just in case better safe than sorry.
I will be interested to see how it runs now that it has a sane timing setting,it should by rights produce a few more ponies ?
