Changed the lighting on my climate control to a slightly blue color to better match the stereo. Also ripped apart the stereo and finally fixed the SD card reader that I buggered last time.

Also made an Ebay purchase, hope to be the first one in Brisbane getting around with this set of <items>

Ooh, a mystery.

Do tell...!

More scrubbing of the 82 in the shed , the engine is nearing the clean look the bay has! The sportivo is mid way through a good clean and a decent buff.

I wish I did that when I took my head unit out to piggy-back onto the USB connector. Now it's all back together, I really can't be bothered disassembling it all again.

I can't wait to see it.

Agreed, but to spent nearly 1/2 a week cleaning it the first place? Talk about keen.

I once got so smashed I decided I would clean every nook and cranny of my car with a toothbrush, and polish every bolt. When I awoke the next morning my intake manifold was in pieces and I couldn't find my air filter anywhere :s

Heheh, didn't give my car a proper wash since last month, till I bought a new hose attachment last week (The old one cracked after 6 years.).

Must be the freezing cold weather.

Yup. Boost loves the cold. That said, the temperature difference between my first and last run was only about 2 degrees. When I last ran when I had my stock airbox, I got the 13.748s @ 101.91mph and the temperature then was about 17 degrees. So 4 degrees cooler and 0.376 seconds quicker. My Sportivo didn't have much variation in the same conditions. My fastest run in the Sportivo was 14.131s and that was at 15 degrees. I still couldn't get it any quicker, even in temperatures down to 10 degrees.

Jealous?

Today I finally got off my lazy behind and replaced my reverse camera. I ordered a new one a couple of days ago and today I fitted it. I had previously been using a temporary setup with the camera that came with the head unit but the image was half cropped.

Te reason why I was so lazy about it is because a OEM replacement camera made for this car simply doesn't fit mine (you will see why in the following images), so I have to use a generic camera and custom mount it.

Anyways, after a couple of hours mucking around to get it all perfect, it is all done. The images explain themselves:

Removed both front seats (thank god the airbags didn't go off) and took out my Mono and 4ch amps. Going to tear open the 4ch and see whats wrong with it. Managed to burr one of the bolts that hold the seats down as well, so it looks like no passengers in the front till I get another one :angry:. Also removed the subwoofer as well.

Measured up my boot for a custom box, but I'm going to lose a poo-load of bootspace. I need approximately 225-240L in this enclosure.

My dad is abit of an audio nut and he's not impressed with my bass. It's 'boomy' as he says. He feels bad for me getting a sub-standard setup so he's helping me out.

Will be running 4x12" drivers, need a box where I can physically put 2 side by side (I'll see a 3dB gain for each pair of drivers I have close to each either). 2 on the front of the box and 2 on the top of the box. Bass quantity won't be high but the quality should be very good. Looking to provide 50-60L per driver and the box will be sealed. No ports.

Good thing is he already has the drivers and the amp to power it. He's just keeping secret what they are. Will have to buy a better battery though.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
