Finke desert race 831

Well the tow rig is getting some new wheels this week and just need to take 2.5mm out of the bore one down 3 to go

Well i had eye surgery alittle while ago and was stuck at home i did a little programing and cam up with a paddle shift program for any eletronic auto So it will run standalone Or if u have a TCM u can have that changing the gears as normal.
then flick a switch and bam ur doing it with paddle shifter ( or two buttons if u like)

Well was not happy with the turbo once i fitted the csm/crank sencer . Added a 22.5 degree bit in to the top to tip it away from the head and rotated it about 10mm clockwise. Then had to lay it back 6mm to get it level for the oil drain . Oh well see if i find anything else that makes me mod the manifold

Well been playing in the shed at night this week as i feel like i did not do the truck justice by not working onit this weekend and this is what happened .
Turbo manifold is made .I think i got it close enough to the head LOL

Well not alot done on the truck this weekend i decided that i need more bench space and also one i can use for building an auto on so i made a 2.5m bench out of some 25mm staino SHS legs x4 i had and then bolted them to the brick wall put 50x190 joist timber x4 bolted from underneath. Then glued the 2.5 mm top on which has a 50mm turn down on the front and 16mm turn back on that .also it has a 75mm turn up on the back .whole bench as about 5 degrees lean back so the oil will flow to the back and drain to the sides (u get alot of oil on the bench when striping autos) sat 2x205 droms full of water ontop while the glue si going off .
Also put a 600x2.5 shelf under it can never have enpugh shelf space

Very happy with it

Well been on the lathe this arvo for 3 hrs and BAM I have an adaptor from c4 converter to 2JZ crank .
Drilled and tapped inside so i can get it out of the crank if i ever need to

Well thats another thing off the list one 3200 rpm v8 ford c4 converter redrilled and tapped to suit the 2JZ
NO S**T
