You already running E85 Jap?
More boost less detonation

Nah no E85, I'd like to go for a bigger pump if I was, the injectors are sitting in a box at home at the moment. E85 availability is holding me back, I'd have to order it by the drum, suddenly turns the car into more of a chore to make the power.

On another note, I ran a PB of 13.804 on Friday with a 1.98 60 foot
Air was still pretty shit, track was ok.
I now have an OSD, Occaisional Slip Differential, so will start looking into getting that fixed before I shear an axle.

Nice install of the cooler I just installed mine to the radiator wish I did what you did now

Are they the standard calipers ? I need new front and rear pads so was wondering if you have the part codes

Yeah last thing I wanted to do was put another heat source in front of the intercooler radiator, air con condenser and radiator lol
Plus I hate putting those ties through the radiator cores...leaves you prone to rubbing through the tubes over time.

TRD has had it's arse in the air for the last few days while I pulled the diff and shimmed up the clutch packs.
It's all back together as of tonight, will take it for a test drive tomorrow and see if I got the preload right.
Pics to follow in the next day or two.
Also, the legends at Unifilter sent me a couple of sleeves to slip over the pod, will make it A LOT easier to keep the insects and shrapnel off the pod itself, just swap the sleeve for a clean one.
Barcaldine Revfest on Sunday, then Willowbank Test n Tune next wednesday night, can't wait.

Nice brakes, I have them sitting on the shelf at home, just with some Bendix pads, bent the Hilux so have to wait to get it back before they go on.
