Hi there Graeme, just back from  mt Isa, and have finished up there for now.. Just in the process of deciding on an engine/ drivetrain combo rite now.. Will be an 8, but looking at Toyota, Audi, jaguar and bmw options under 4.2liter.
How's your big girl going?

Went for my first almost legal drive today - just around the block a couple of times.  Missing a couple of headlight rings so cant fit the lights up.  Still a lot of fiddly things to do but have a couple of weeks off now so hopefully will be able to get stuck back into it again.  Off to Perth on Thursday for a long weekend to catch up with wifey (she over there till end of month with her job).

Will give you a bell and pop over for a look mate.. Any more elec gremlins that require my attention?

Only the reverse polarity diode - got told in no uncertain term to put it back in and haven't soldered it yet.....  All else seems ok electrical wise at this stage.  Will be out and about in the morning - going to sneak down to the exhaust place a get that finished then back home. Just text or call when you are heading over and I will make sure I am home - 0481 200 164.

I've been thinking about this build, mostly because I plan on ditching the 202 in my FC down the track and installing a modern, small displacement V8 in its place. I think you'd have the most aftermarket support with the Toyota V8, as you've already found with all the aftermarket performance options available. I think the Audi motor would be a bit of a headache, considering that they all have Quattro running gear behind them. At least with the Tojo V8 you can stick a Supra 5 speed behind it with minimal fuss. I doubt you'd find an Audi or BMW motor with a manual box cheaply or easily!

Have you thought about an IRS from an early 3 series or 200SX?

Just my thoughts.

Cheers,

Josh.

Hey Josh's, there certainly are quite a few bits and pieces available for the 1uz. I have access to  a 200sx, so might pop it on the hoist for a look and measure.. Awesome brakes on a 200 also. 
Where are you located Josh? I'm in Ballarat vic. Maybe we can pool our resources, and build a hot little engine each...
Cheers Matt

How's your build going Penners?

I'm in Hobart. I've decided to stick with the 202 for the time being and squeeze as much grunt out of it as I can before it grenades.

Cheers,

Josh.

 Hey Penner's    Nice ride how much did you pay for it if that's not being too nozy also I noticed in the first two pictures you have a push and pull bar fitted was that to push one f#@d and pull one f#@d home in your FC.    Grubby

How is this build going. Have you been researching the 1uz anymore? See they use them in speedway in NZ.
