rian Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 I might get a video Would very much like a video of it running, around the car etc. P.s would those wheels have fitted well on the rear without the front-on-rear flare conversion? I'm pretty sure I want to run the same size wheels. Quote
dbr11k Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 The welder set me back $1250 and I got it through an engineering shop I used to work at, so not sure how much rrp would be.. I'm pretty sure this offsey would fit standard guards with just a roll without a problem, I wish I didn't have to do the front on rears but the standard guards were rusted out badly Quote
dbr11k Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 Did a bit if work on the Rolla today and had a heaps of parts show up, I wasn't happy with the way the boot floor was so I cut the seam off that goes behind the rear bar and welded it properly, welded up a dip thing for the fuel cell, fitted my short shift kit and stared at my awesome new parts from t3, still nee to get fuel hoses and oil hoses for the remote oil filter kit, but I'm going to wait till I have an oil cooler as well. The gaps are terrible on the quad lights I know, but its only temporary as I'm making the custom front end soon and I just didn't want all the parts lying around, plus I just had to see them on the car :P.

dbr11k Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 Ran out of gas today :( but I got a bit of welding done, finished welding the boot floor to the rear end, fibre glasses the fuel flap, started panel beating and welding the inside of the flares and run out of gas, got two of the 4 links on and put the sway bar on. Hopefully I'm heading over to wagga soon so I can get all the fuel hoses and oil hoses sorted. Quote
dbr11k Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 And I wonder why I'm broke all the time hahaha Quote
dbr11k Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Posted April 26, 2012 Flared the front guards out today while the missus attacked the rear quarter with a spray can lol Quote
dbr11k Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Posted April 29, 2012 can anyone tell me if this is an LSD just by looking at it? pretty sure its an s series as the carrier has 8 bolt holes. I've done a burnout with this diff and it span one wheel all the way to third.. when jacked up only the wheel that is being spun will turn, the opposite side stays still. Quote
dbr11k Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 So I got impatient today and dodgeyd up the fuel system just to get the big girl running again, had the rear box taken off so it was just a cat and a hot dog lol, insanely loud and sounded terrible, I got a vid of it running but will have to wait till I'm near a computer to upload it, next up is prepping the inside of the car for paint, which I will start on Friday and hopefully have it painted next week. Getting the rest if the car painted by a good friend if mine. Quote
dbr11k Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 Also having the stupidest problem, u can't get the nut off the diff to fill it with oil , I swear some people think it holds the fkn car together !!! Quote
rian Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) I'm so confused by your fuel setup. Does it go tank > surge tank > lift pump > pressure pump? Edit: never mind, I just read that you only set it up like that just to get it going. Edited May 1, 2012 by rian Quote
dbr11k Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 yep lol, no pick up pump no fuel tank, just filled the surge tank up with a funnel and blocke the return and feed lines off, went for a squirt up the road in it with a mate and i can't believe how fast it is, its insane !! was all fun till a farmer called the cops haha.
