Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Joeblow did one a few years ago a 1UZ into Feroza, pretty sure there is some photos in forum somewhere. Fair bit of work to do it though....

Check play in the following: (Whilst steering stabiliser off) Tie Rod ends, draglink, panhard play (any mov't in bushes and bolt holes) and check ball joints. If worn these could cause issues later down the track with shimmies or death wobbles. Check steering for any clunking as may have dud box or ...

Would love to put in a mazada engine and mate up to a Vitara case, but with the competitions I will be entering most of them require stock transfer case... Maybe after I trash a few panels and roll it, it may make it's next evolution..... Maybe comp cut, stretched wheelbase, links and new diffs is ...

Chugga,
I just remembered I did end up unbolting calipers, so that I dropped out the ball joints I wouldn't stretch the break lines, that way I toed it up out of the way, pretty quick to get them off and makes job a little easier.

From memory you don't require taking off caliper, a good size hammer and ball joint separator is a must but...

Mightymouse, its definitely a A44D, managed to wrangle it off a wrecker in VIC who had no idea what it was really worth... I will be making a custom crossmember for this, the auto has all the original wiring and plugs. Was hoping toyota might be helpful might try sweet talk another dealer and see if ...

Toyota have a full service manual including auto, but seems they don't want to share....

Anyone happen to have the wiring diagram for the daihatsu auto.

Looking to finally put in just need to know what goes where....

Not really any common swap done, as very few owners have swapped engines. Of the ones completed include Mightymouse with turbo VW petrol engine mated to Feroza auto bellhousing with vitara auto internals. Sr20 I have also seen done with sr20 gearbox and divorced transfer. There is no easy swap over ...

AVAILABLE Considering selling or parting out 94 Feroza with applause engine swapped in Car is mechanically fine (blows some smoke oil, have stripped down spare head to swap across) All panels straight, faded paint on bonnet and roof Has 230,000 on clock with only around 80,000 total on applause ...

They would just have to be cleaned/sandblasted before coating. Cerakote is definetly the best quality ceramic that I have come across.

Yep they ceramic coat the combustion surface of the piston and what is called a dry film lubricant for skirts, it will not affect tolerance from memory thickness of lubricant is around 0.01mm or something similar.

You will need a dial gauge and torque wrench, not sure if you need any other specialty tools, best off to send it to a diff and gearbox place as it is a pretty precise. Will prob set you back round $300.
I do most things on my car but I leave that one to my mate a toyota mechanic.

Not if its diff backlash, the whole centre will have to come out and be adjusted, also check uni joints they can sometimes make similar noises.

Drop shackles have a tendency to unload themselves on side slopes etc and can make the vehicle unstable and sometimes dangerous, they should never be driven on the road in an unpinned state. The drop shackles will give more droop but by the looks of it the rear of my car has almost the same flex and ...

After someone that sells rubber bump stops, looking for around 120- compressed no less than 80mm.

Cheers for the help.

Don't forget things like shock absorber bushes, these could be worn or need greasing (these were the cause of squeeking in mine)

Well finally got a hold of an LSD for the rear diff of the Feroza, got it shimmed up and new bearing put in and away we go. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r304/Percy1988/DSC01032.jpg The extra traction has definitely been helpful just makes me wish for a real locker. All things going well I ...

The comp is one run in WA basically build up a car for 2 grand and comp it (cage is not included in this 2 grand). Easiest option would be to use a sierra (Team Carnage is using this as base) at least then you might be able to get a decent crawl ratio and ease of aftermarket gear. As Mightymouse ...

You sure that you can't get Kuhmo's KL71's had a mate pick up a a new set of them this past weekend from fourbys, had to wait about 4 weeks but.

Depends on how many leaves are in your pack and how thick they are (You will also loose some lift taking leaves out.

I currently run a 4 leaf pack (1 custom extended main, 2 helpers and 1 load). This gives me a great ride with the addition of some boss adjustables.

Pictures may help.

Commodore rear will fit, not exactly sure on which models, I know they fit a Vitara rear end and are long enough for the coils, should be plenty for a Rocky.

The ball joints are most likely shagged as well as the adjustment nuts being seized best to replace both ends of tie rods, I ended up having to replace the whole lot.

Tie Rod ends, Bursons stock them, they were quite cheap in comparison Diahatsu were about $800 for the set and that was at cost price

The tie rods that connect into the steering relay are a prick to get out, have a big big hammer ready...

32's are no where near ideal on a Feroza, I run them on mine and thats with 2 inch body lift and 2 inch suspension lift and also cut out front guards to clear. 32's are not fun on a stock Feroza as the crawl ratio sucks big time meaning you often have to launch yourself at obstacles (often breaking ...

Plenty of wreckers around in Brisbane which should have them could try Daihatsu wreckers at Archerfield, usually reasonably priced 38752555.

You will be looking at about 300 or less for a transfer and gearbox. You can easily pull off the old transfer and replace only about 10? bolts I think.

Powdercoat should not flake of if this is the case then something is wrong with the adhesion to the base metal. This can commonly occur if the powdercoat is under cured. Usually this should not occur in the case of powdercoat it should be more durable over 2 pack. The advantage of 2 pack is that if ...
