Guest Enzo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 hey Russ see when you were doin the conversion did you actualy take the dash board out? Quote
Russleh Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 yeh had to take the dash out from both cars. took a bit of time the first time. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 im doing my convo next week and could do with a few pointers if you have any,you know, wee bits that cought you out maybe? Quote
Russleh Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 with the dash you just have to make sure you have all the screws out and it comes out ok. i just missed a few and was gettin annoyed that it wouldnt budge. can always giev ya a hand if you need it mate. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 soundo, started today, got the front end stripped today, gona get the dash and shafts tomorrow.should have no bother with the dash was just wanting to know if there were any bits with the wiring that you could give me piointers on, il persist though Quote
Russleh Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 couple little updates. no decent pictures yet though. got my half sized rad fitted ( although it isnt mounted in a very secure way ) and blitz sus filter on and relocated with a cusomised s bend pipe. got some new tires too. found a few problems though 1.brake drums were making terrible noises , had a look and i have no pads and when i pull up the handbrake it barely moves so i wanna change to discs instead of fixing it 2. backbox has a hole in it ( was there already but i dont like it ) 3. dumpvalve appears not to want to dump 4. roadrunner mani has a crack at the weld where the 4 pipes come together and is leaking a small amount of air. soo a few things to fix. will take some pictures of good and bad bits tomorrow Quote
Russleh Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 fear not there are some brackets in the making to replace the zip ties modified s bend pipe. filter Quote
Russleh Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 hmm suppose. kinda dumb i never noticed that but. i wanna get it off and get it shined up anyway Quote
Russleh Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 time for a little update. brake time. got my rear brake setup today so i can get rid of drums. not very pretty looking but it will be ;). cleaned up one caliper and painted most of it and just need to paint the other side once thats dry. new setup for the front also. the td fast road brake package.ebc drilled and grooved discs with yellow stuff pads. braided lines and brake fluid. will also be doin the front calipers in the same gold colour as the back ones. and what would my update be without a question lol whats the best way to get the piston back into the caliper because when i was cleanin it i was movin a part around not thinkin that it was moving the piston ? knew they were stiff but i cant get it to budge. should have another update around xmas with my 2 weeks off. should see the completion of my other car 2 Russell Quote
micky boy Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Them back discs look sweet mate ;) as for the pistons on the calipers are you pushing them? if so you are doingit rong lol they need to be turned Quote
ToyotaTech15 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Ye mate, as Micky says, they need to be wound back, just really need pushed and turned either left or right depending on side.You may need a tool depending on how tight they are,Just remember when you put them on, pump the foot brake fully before touching the handbrake as thats the adjustment.Everything looks good thouGary Quote
Russleh Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 cheers. those discs are for the front by the way. may upgrade the rears before they go on or i might just stick with the standard till there on properly. Quote
Russleh Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 little update had to buy a new exhaust because my decat is falling to bits and its an old style wepr sytem so decat i bought didnt fit it soo got me a jperformance exhaust. and got this for it could have painted the blitz better but brush was rubbish lol. now i need to go out in the rain and fit these Quote
