This weekend I went to see my father for his birthday. This resulted in a lot of drinking and I didn't get much done on the car. I did get some little jobs out of the way and I am going to post about them just to keep up the habit.
Firstly, I welded a flex joint in the the zorst. I put it where the old hotdog muffler used to sit as it is the only place with a good amount of space. As it is, the exhaust is probably going to rattle against the body a lot - so I didn't want to make it worse.
I finished bolting the exhaust off to the car and I am not going to touch it again until after the first test drives. I cut off the tailpipe to a nice length and I think it looks innocent enough.
These springs came out of the rear of a VH or VK wagon that had uprated srpings for carrying a load. Hopefully I can cut them up and fit them in the rear and they are a better match for the super heavy duty 4wd shocks installed.
All in one coil driver ICs are lovely. As they switch the negative to the coil i just earthed that leg directly to the mounting plate. All I need is a logic level pulse from the ECU into the resistors and the coils work perfectly (Well one was a dud but I had a spare)
Everything came up quite neatly. I just need to get a decent plug for the module.
I tapped all the extra vacuum ports I needed into random spots on the inlet. I moved the booster one to a better spot and conveniently it was the same thread as the smaller nipples.
I went on a hunt to get the fittings for the master cylinder and the intercooler piping but it is still a waiting game unfortunately. If I don't see these parts tomorrow I think I will begin rewiring the column controls.
