[mudslut]

Jeez some of you guys can rip thru the work youve only had it a month and look at the progress.Wish I could do mine that fast,top job.

Nice

Cheers guys,i have been workin on it for at least 2 hours every night after work and all day every saturday and most sundays,the goal is to have it ready to race next month at maramarua forest

[mudslut]

Done a bit on the truck recently,got the internal part of the roof vent finished,a mate of mine makes these for rally cars out of fibre glass,the vents are out of a mk 2 escourt dash





Made exhaust with spark arestor



Exited out the side ralliart paris dakar styles



Windscreen is in with demister strips fitted



The auto sparky has been busy,it has not been a easy job with a mixed motor/loom/ecu combo with 7 different diagrams to choose from,but he recons she will be runnin this week





Will have more updates by the end of the week

[SMOKEY]

Well done Dan, this build is coming along nicely, I do how ever have a concern regarding the spark arestor , my thoughts are that this style will be to restrictive, are others running this system ?. I was wrong once before,

I ARRIVED AT WORK EARLY,

Cheers Fitzy,i did wonder the same thing,the mesh was givin to me by the previeous owner ,he ran it on this truck and runs it on the new one with out a problem,i will see how it goes gauze might be the go

[niblik]

still use the same mesh, just angle the cut of the tip so theres more surface area for the mesh to cover = more void in mesh.. lookin cool..

Sweet cheers for that nibz

[mudslut]

Well she is all go ,the sparky is finished.But on her maiden skid up the road it sounded like a old massey fergusen tractor,under closer inspection i found 3 snapped exhaust manifold studs on one side and 1 on the other so out comes the bloody motor.got them all fixed,then realisied the manifolds were warped so replaced them

Got the washer bottle (20L )fitted


And pump


Wiring,gauges ,and rear orange dust light sorted





Fitted driveshaft hoops as per regs




Just a few more things to do this week before our first race this weekend at the peter Howell memorial race meet at the maramarua forest

Well had a wiked day sunday at the Peter Howell memorial offroad race,first up we had time trials to determine grid placement for the first enduro,i was fair shittin myself on the start line thinking i have never drivin this truck before i dont know what it handles like,will the engine hold together,will i roll it .But it went great it handles mint,chuck it in to the corner and feed it the gas and it just pulls,the engine proforms better than i thought it was going to(always a bonus ).We done two enduros 90 km enduros after the time trial and loved every minute of it,there were a few of us that had to pit a few times per race to remove burnt mud from our spark arestors as it was restriting power(damn rain),the only other issue we had was we lost all clutch fluid on the second to last lap of the last enduro due to the banjo bolt on the slave cylinder coming loose so we missed the last lap( BUGGER).The course was 80% fast flowing gravel rds with some greasy down hill slides in to the quarry then back in to the gravel rds.All in all a farkin mean day

Its been a while,but heres some updates of things ive been pluckin away at for the last couple of months on the truck.
Air intake all finished off now,im running a HKS 3 stage foam filter on the end of a gutted std air box which is housing the air flow meter(cant afford a link g4 yet to be rid of it )



Raised and tilted the gear knob to suit my new seat position,feels much better now its right there not a mile away
