    Nice dude, looks pretty clean for her age, here's mine. Mate what front brakes do you have? have you got drums all round?
  4. Hi Manxman, Yeah i am very well aware of what could happen if the components i have modified/installed are not engineered correctly and my insurance provider has been notified. I have spoken to my engineer and he was the one that recommended the said OEM upgrade, he has signed of on a lot of my work before i.e full engine swaps (with brake upgrades to suit) through to suspension and diff upgrades. Thanks for your input mate = D
  5. Hey all, Pretty new to the hilux thing and I have just brought myself an RN30 1981 2wd long bes style side hilux, she's a good ol girl but needs a bit of upgrading in some areas. 1. It has drum brakes in all 4 corners and after owning it for a while now I have bled the brakes and changed shoes etc amd and t still feels like garage, I would like to upgrades to some disks in the front , question : is there anyone out there whos has swapped out theirs and how interchangeable are hilux parts? From what I have seen they dont look that different at all. I have a lovely worked 18rg to go in place of the 18rc so I feel that thos swap would be more than a good idea ha! Thanks in advance, Ben
  6. More progress, got some coilovers (tein super streets) and picked up some wheels. also got some other goodys
  7. ok so this water pump change over was not as easy as i initially thought........ epic job!!! has anyone done this before? engine mount off, timing cover off, alternator off, bla bla bla wow
  8. WOW.... Dude very impressed i have always loved this engine and would love to put one in an AE102 sedan. good luck with your build.
  9. Picked up myself a nice little easter prezy,
  10. OK so I'm starting to finally get somewhere with this, i have picked up some new CV's From REPCO at a fantastic price, they only had the left one available but the other is on its way and i should be available to pick it up after easter, $160 ea which i thought wasn't all that bad considering they come with 5 year or 100k warranty. also got my new GMB water pump. rear tail lights came yesterday as well, look to be in good shape apart from the odd heat/age fractures. Looks like someones going to be having a full on easter break.
  11. More progress, Picked up my standard front bar on Friday, fitted...... allot of cable tie action going on in there, no overly impressed with the fitment but job done non the less.
  12. little bit more progress today, went and purchased some new blue silicone hose (turbosmart) for the engine bay, looks a little better. here are a before and after shot....
  13. Paint, im thinking matte black..... don't ask me why, im feeling this rattiness about it..... hey all thanks for the words of encouragement little bit of progress today, managed to clean the front up a little bit and make it look a bit more respectable, also found a second hand front bar, indicator and a few other thing, all Jap came through with the goods so i will be picking them up on the weekend woot woot
  14. Hey all, looking for some new CV's, i was going oppt for standard items but am unsure if you can get upgraded/strengthened items? so what cv's is everyone running? any help would be much appreciated.
  15. hey mate thanks, yeah its not too bad, in gave it a bit of a wash yesterday, the interior need a fair bit of work but im thinking i might just scrap the interior and leave the dash, center console, seats and 1/2 cage... it's all very stock i think, i mean in haven't really had the opportunity to really experience a standard one as yet, previous owner installed a BOV, it had this terrible trumpet on it that made it squeal like a pig. Thanks mate, yeah as i say its a bit rough and yes the next several week will be gone!!! hahah
