Big Fella

Got some more work done today, flushed the old Black coolant out of the engine. Then I had some fun, time for low, started lowering and just couldnt stop, now Dave is a Slammed Mira. The front looks a bit higher, but it actually sits dead even along the sill panel. just need to lip the rear guards a bit more. Did some more body work too, straightened out the lip on the front guards and started to tidy up the tailgate, then they got a coat of primer.

Best part about the tedbull cars is slapping your B spec drivers in it and letting them do the long assed enduros. All while u sleep or go to work. Comd home and spend and spend the winnings.

More because I'm an asshole than any thing else Sat arvos are fine for me, but generally he hills roads are more crowded. Sunday Am seems to be the best time up avoid traffic.

NO!

33gtr, but the valving will be all wrong.

If I still have it I'll be keen for a cruise.

dropped the tyres on the rims tonight, brand new 145/70 12's for the front and secondhand 165/60 12's on the rear, these will get torn up by the bitumen when the motorkhana hand brake action begins, so i don't want to waste any good tyres back there Hope to do some more bodywork tomorrow and get started on the big bore 2 1/4" exhaust on the weekend

don't think so, sold the Elgrand a while back now, plus it was never made for hills runs, stupid van!

thanks for the tip

was down there enjoying the country fair, didn't spot the olds tho, they must have been hiding. That place was freakin crowded too, a but of fun still

got some more work done over the weekend, polished the outside lip of the rims and painted the centres all black, just gotta fit tyres up tomorrow at work then i continued the boring job of bodywork, roof and bonnet all rubbed back, all the hideous pink flames are gone and the bonnet has been smoothed out and primered up.

Has now been advertised on gumtree, don't really want to sell it, but there are other projects on the horizon Gumtree

yeah mate, still got some kickin around, let me know what you want?

Thinking more along the lines of bayside blue on white rims, found a good rear spoiler for it, just gotta have more time.

just spotted a Clutch type supercharger off of a 4gAZE up for sale for $350, 6psi up the little daihatsu would really get it moving. Might have to investigate engine management.

Just been serviced, fresh oil and filter car Has been serviced every 5000km since i have had it, new fuel filter and iridium plugs went in the first week i got it at 56,000km

No Teins, hence no Tein sticker on the car It does have a custom O.G. performance exhaust, so i can run that sticker!

maybe if the motor lets go, we'll see what happens once i make up some headers and better flowing exhaust for this motor first, gonna strap it on the dyno for before and after runs

Stripped the tyres off of the rims and started stripping all of the paint off, still unsure whether to paint them black or get them powdercoated white, sorta all depends on the colour of the car. they ar 12 x 6 minilite style rims, they don't sit anywhere near inside the gaurds, so i have some 145 tyres to stretch onto them, might have to pump the gaurds slightly once the car is lowered

And then one of the lads mention he had some WRX Recaros laying around in the shed. So now i have to make him a new dump pipe for his S14 and a full 3" system in exchange for them but i do have sick seats cut the old mounts off of the rails and welded some new tabs on, all fairly easy really

Started stripping back the paint, took the rear bar and lights out, gonna have to respray this thing something decent, still un decided

Maybe, can get turbos for these for under $200, then i can just make a manifold and retune. it's already EFI so it's be easy. gotta get it back on the road first.

will it fit a daihatsu?? I may have a small turbo kit in mind a need some engine management

This is my current project, a 1993 Daihatsu Mira, 659cc of pure 3 cylinder power. these thing weigh around 550kg and have a huge 32kw of power. Plan is to use it as a daily and enter some Motorkhana action in it, get the missus out there and let her tear up the bitumen. Spotted this for sale ages ago, but def didn't need it at the price that was being asked, but i saw it had potential. So someone else snapped it up, drove it around for a while and well and truly molested it, then he broke it I saw it up on the forums as a give away, grabbed the bosses tow car and trailer and went to pick it up, I gave the owner some cash toward the rego and some beers too. This is what he had done, pinked out, stickered up, JDM blackouts Turns out the clutch was knackered and the LHF hub was stripped of all its splines. Time for the motor to come out, with the help of my lovely wife we got the car in pieces Motor out and box off, we replaced the clutch and the clutch lever. put it all back in and replaced the LHF hub.
