you can all go and get stuffed. I'm going to another forum and bitch and moan about you all

You'll see, you'll all see it will be cool. I'll have more bling than Damo, more sand in the diff than love-mud, more problems than big steve, more chance of getting it working than Antt, a longer wheelbase than Sam

Or another 6 months gathering dust

I thought this was worth a giggle as well,
6 months, Pfftt

Are you sure it hasn't rusted away in the meantime?

[droopypete]

Ha Ha Ha, it is good to see you have not lost your sense of humour Graham a lesser man would have buckled under the peer pressure by now
Peter.

[GRIMACE]

wow

I thought i was special I contracted the next set of mods out so as to have em done in a month instead of 24

Should be sweet once its done, and when you get to finally take it for a wheel.... just dont sell it as soon as you finish it.

[nicbeer]

This has to be the biggest grave dig thread around here. keeps popping up.

cheers

And I'd bet it will be around for another year at least.
Peter.

[antt]

i thought ya'd sold it

[grimbo]

i thought ya'd sold it

It came close a couple of times, but each time I had a change of heart.

[coolzook]

hey dude i dont know if i have the right person, are you the guy who put a 1500 yota engine in your zook, if so how difficult was it any info would be great if not do you happen to know who it was who did
thanks

[sierrajim]

I believe that the Corolla engine is now out of the car and replaced with another zook motor.

[grimbo]

yes it was mine that had the 1500 in it. It was a pretty simple conversion. No structural work is needed other than a modified bracket on to one engine mount. I was also using a toyota 5 speed g/box that required a custom jackshaft between g/box and t/case. The t/case does move slightly I think which meant I needed a different rear drive shaft (I think).
You will also need to ditch the normal fan and run a thermo fan in front of the radiator.

If you need an engine and g/box mine are for sale as I went back to Sierra stuff.

[DeWsE]

Whats these new rims I hear about?

Splashing a bit of cash around are we?

[grimbo]

Well it needs something new to keep it interesting. With the wide track diffs and the massively offset rims its very stable but a bugger to drive, scrub radius is thru the roof and the tyres tend to foul on the body.

So I should be getting some bling new alloys next week (fingers crossed). The joys of bartering

Now I just need to find a VicRoads inspection site that is close to home or work that isn't booked out for the next month or so

[DeWsE]

Yeah tell me about the scrub radius! with the offset 8" rims and 12.5" tires I had to bash the hell out of the firewall. And it still rubbed. So I just made sure it was smoothed so it didn't cut the tires... cheap traction control

I hope these are the same as those purty alloy's that greg his boggers on.

Have you got P/S?

[grimbo]

I'm not sure what alloys they are in the end it came down to what was in stock more than what I ideally wanted.

No power steering but now that christover is the power steering conversion king I might go that way down the track. I just want to get it back on the road

[grimbo]

Well I now have a little orange sticker in the corner of the windscreen and two white and blue bits of metal attached to the Suzuki

[bazooked]

about bloody time!!

[nicbeer]

We need pics to prove it.



cheers

[cj]

So are you going to drive it?

[grimbo]

I'm probably going to drive it to tonight's meeting It may even have the Swampers on Alloys on but more than likely it will have the crappy 31s on even crappier yellow rims

[DeWsE]

Get some pic's asap!!!!!!

We need some new ones, other then the one's that were taken at the mag shoot.

Good on ya grimbo, bet your happy it's finally done

[grimbo]

I'm happy because I won't hear "If you don't get that thing registered I'm going to get rid of it" anymore

As to pics nothing for awhile as I'm off OS for a couple of weeks probably the frst run its going to get wont be until the New year

[droopypete]

I call BS!!
and I will continue to do so untill I can reach out and touch the car myself, (pics are no good, Graham is a dab hand at photoshop)
I may just go to tonignts meeting just for the specticle (I love a brass band )
Peter.
