whats up with this build ??

its all still pushing ahead, countless little things to do, and im finally doing final mockup (in mdf) of the rear suspension mounting plates so that i can finalise the design and get them laser cut from steel next week. iv also got a radiator arriving tomorrow so will be building the cooling system soon too. currently also fabricating steering brackets and parts. i do most of the work on it in the weekends, but sometimes its a bit of a struggle with hangovers and 'normal' stuff to get done haha

I'm really looking forward to seeing this truck in a state of completion. You need some pics! Congrats on winning the photo competition

wow this build is awesome. I love that stop motion vid of the steering going together. Really creative stuff!

[MitsuMax]

Awesome build man!

[340i]

thanks guys, im glad you're liking the build (especially the stop motion, that took ages to do... haha). im currently working on another video, which im hoping to have finished by the end of the month. there's some pics of some stuff ive done lately on the facebook page though, if you want to see it before the next update video (link in signature).

its time for me to pick a turbo and i thought i'd put this out there to get your opinions before i shell out and order one. im currently looking at garrets gt series and i wasn't sure on size, then realised the answer was already out there...

Garret GT42


should work good on a 1uz aye? it'll be low boost and a bit of lag doesnt bother me. it'll probably see max 10psi on this engine and gearbox setup
