In news today, offically have been promoted at work to head lotus tech/senior technician, also been given a payrise.

Well done mang.

If you're allowed to say, what company do you work for?

Work for Euromarque Brisbane, have done for 6 years now.

Martin bit of a tough one there, Team Lotus or Lotus-Renault. I do prefer the Lotus-Renault for the traditional JPS colour scheme, will be a good year though for them, massive factory upgrade, new importer into the country (don't have to deal with proton anymore) and new models coming out, looks like i'll be a little busy.

Congrats.

Hahah yer scott i couldn't resist! i thought you would have been freaked out a little.

Pretty sure the brumby has broken something in the box, when you accelerate it sounds like a clicking CV, when cruising along it makes the same noise / bearing noise also but that all goes when you push the clutch in and coast along. So im thinking i'll get a good condition gearbox and a new clutch to throw in, i'll also replace the CV boots and inspect them for wear. Thoughts?

Yeah, had me wondering what was going on! A second hand box and clutch will cost you a lot less than a hilux or a WRX......The Brumby should keep on truckin' on when you have sorted.

Started off wiping/cleaning/polishing peoples tools and now he's been promoted to a glorified Coffee boy... :nyaanyaa:

BTW, which coffee shop do you go to??

/\ AND this.

Glad that's sorted :D

McFly, all the fiddly bits are done on youe ECU now. Just need t ofit the chip socket and we're away!

I did find a 5 speed conversion on ebay, complete with tail shaft and rear diff for $595.... thinking i might go that way with it.

damn right!

hey jon you've got mates in the wrecking business, i need a dual range 4 speed gearbox for a 1991 subaru brumby. How much you think that would go for?

cant remember seeing 1 in wreckers for while but ill ask a mate of mine, his family repairs/builds subarus for a living mainly wrx's etc, he has a 2dr sti wrx and a brumby with twincam turbo motor.

worth a shot, has alot of old shitas laying around...

jon.

yer 4 speed with a hi/lo ratio is the normal thing for them, if you can find a 5 speed box i would need the gearbox, rear diff and tailshaft.

hurry up dent repair man, i have sleep to catch up on...

damn these 5am starts...

sick as a dog too... why is it so hard to get the good shit at the chemist these days...

i wasted $16 on some bullshit cold and flu yesterday and its done nothing, give me the farkin good stuff...

im not going to turn it into speed, i just want it cause it works...

i should take back the other shit and make them refund it, its shit...

Morning Mangs,

Road the bike into work. Didn't appear to take any less time but I did enjoy going to the front of the lights every time :thumbsup: So where is lazserhunt this week?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
