[Chris F20 maniac]

thanks for those pics!

its interesting to see.

if its not too much trouble could you post up a pic of the whole engine bay?

in interested to see how that hose from the air filter is attached to the carbie.

cheers bud

Hey Chris that's a diesel engine. But you can use your stock air filter box, cut a little of the long oval air intake behind the summer/winter valve. then you can weld a custom adapter to whatever hose you'll like. make sure uve got all the facory hoses that run to the airbox installed an that the rubber isolator between the box and the carb are not worn or cracked to ensure the box itself is waterproof. This way you can use the stockfilter (K&N makes also one that fits I believe. Of course it's om the LHS but that makes it easier to install on aRHD vehicle

cheers

hey all just a quick question
how much can you lift the front end of a f20 before you have problems with drive line and steering
i herd you cant lift the front at all and i also noticed on my F20 that the rear had extended shackels but the front didnt

i was think of getting the springs reset 2 inche taller
and refitting the standard shackles would the front end handle this
cheers

[Chris F20 maniac]

um not really sure. but i put 2in extended shackles on the front of mine and havn't had any trouble at all

[runnin4life]

thanks for that
are you running 2 inche extended shackles and 2 inche body lift?

[Hatsu]

I've got about a 50mm spring lift all round, and haven't noticed any problems in over a year.
Resetting your springs would be a cheap way of getting a bit of lift, until they sink again, of course.

P.S we want specs on the yellow monster

[millhouse]

here's some pics of my bro's truck

2.8 diesel
front and rear detroit
drop shackles
dyna 5 speed conversion
33" mud terrains
fiberglass panels
goes great!!

[BIg StEvE]

Detroits ask him where he got em from!

[runnin4life]

if you can also find where the glass panels came from

[millhouse]

the panels were moulded from the old one before it rusted away

the daihatsu centers are the same as another diff type (dana i think) and he just matched them up

we have another project sitting at home scat trayback f55 i think,
and it also has front and rear detroits, so they are availible with a bit of modifacation.

i will try to find out the model that fits!!

[gonzo4x4]

Hey, that would be great, i'm looking for lockers also.

[gonzo4x4]

@Milhouse: Do you now already what type of diffs are almost the same as the daihatsu ones.

Thanks from belgium
