Thanks buddie


But today I am super pumped I got 10th place out of 50 cars in my silly truck woot woot, and first place is my class not bad for silly under powered truck.

sky line this and subure that lol

The lsd worked out awesome, I still have a bog isssue thou from the stock ecu but that will be fixed sooon when I installed the stand alone.

from the vids I took you can see me punching the steering wheel

Here is a video of the truck not sure what run this was but skip too 4.55

VMSC Jan 19 2014 - YouTube

 

Looks like a blast!

The auto x track that's local is on an old 1/2 mile oval and the midway. I'd say it at least double the size of that course. I am sooooo looking forward to running my junk on it this year.

 

It's just to much fun and the Toyota truck is a good plat forum and is very light

I have some in car vids I will be posting up in abit in one vid I spin the truck

 

Fastest lap of the day had faster one but i spun all put that vid up tomorrow

Toyota pickup Auto Cross Jan 19th - YouTube

 

Son of a bitch is it hard to find proper diagrams for this bloody truck

But the good new is I got all the parts I need to start the stand alone swap


Front timing cover,balancer and a oil pump so I can start to make a mount for the trigger wheel
Oh and I found a intermediate wiper switch woot been looking for one of thous for a long time



A harness to chop up


And it begins

 

No it is haltech but it should be the same I will call them tomorrow see if it matches up


Today was some what fun I am still tracking pin outs thous but I got must of them so far.

My idea is to make it fully plug and play no extra relays ect clip it in and go

I just pick up this for the harness



Here is the mess thus far





Just taking out the wires from the stock harness I need Still have a few missing pins that I don't know what they do yet

 

Well look like I am going to put in a new fuse box instead of using the stock fuse and what not at lest it will be all new and not 20 years old.

To get the stock fuel pump to work is going to be pain with tid bits of wiring info and back tracing pins is not much fun.


could buy the Toyota electrical book thou but I bet they want an arm and leg for it

 

Have the patients of a monk do you! Wiring is always fun..

I like that little solder stand that holds the wires.You make that?

 

Nope I could but cheaper to buy 10 buck's can't go wrong

Wiring is not to bad when ya have a diagram.... but it's sorted out now just going to run a new fuse box to control the stand alone. instead of making it plug and play like wanted too on the stock fuse panel.

 

Some thing's came in today "Took long enough"


Fun times ahead and then a aliment and she is solid

 

Pissing rain today look's like all do it tomorrow plus I have to book an alignment after words

 

Rain!..

Have you checked the news on GA ( Where I'm At ).? Hell, we had a state of emergency for the last two days due to snow. Abandoned cars everywhere, Highways shut down and people stuck. All for about 3 inches of snow.. And you complain about RAIN!

Just kidding man. It always sucks when the weather doesn't permit for working on vehicles. I just thought you'd get a kick out of the mess down here over one day of snow..

 

It get's bad here to a litte dusting and there's cars in ditches, every one drives like 1mph down the highway hell people out hear don't even know how to walk in it and end up on there ass's.


Victoria Island is for old retired people or people that try to run away from canada's snow haha


Mostly I need to book an alignment for after words since my caster will be out to lunch and once caster is changed it changes every thing

witch reminds me I got to make a phone call and book it. plus get to try this new setup I have been thinking about for the racing tires.

 

well you know me me...


Today was a bushing day and I did it with twist thou because I really hate squeaky polly bushings.

First off I really hate to burn bushings out but I had to burn the left over after using window cutting wire it works well saves time on the uppper bushings.
The lower arms are well easy as **** since ya just made 3 drills and popped out with a pry bar after cutting off the over hang of the stock bushings.

the upper bushing was well crappy since I had break away the eye let race after drilling some holes in the rubber and use a vise to hold it all and then use a braided wire to cut most of the rubber out.

When the rubber was cut I used a torch to burn off the residue

then I installed the greash fittings

ps The bread knife is the best to use to cut rubber even it is dual as **** it well cut like butter

pics

shave down the race with a bread knife


wire wheel and bit of well it's in the pic




what is this



tapping the lower control arm mount



grooved busing so it can be lubed at at time




installed



good old bread knife




drilling out rubber




monkey wrench pulls the race out



used 12 gauge wire at frist it failed so I got glass cutting wire worth a try lol



welded up sections for grease fittings


tapped


installed


push have been channnled



well it's beer time boys have a good one

 

I have some vidoes as well

 

Good idea adding grease zerks to the bushings. Ill have to remember that for my next project arms.

 

It's always Beer Time. To bad we're not neighbors, we'd have a few.
