Can't wait to see more. And I kno I'd regret the auto but I don't wanna deal with the Clutch master cylinder when I body it haha

 

i just remembered that i havent been on TM in awhile.
and i got updates.
getting all the gear needed for manual conversion this week.
ive been working on the sub/amp box.

 

I like the layout of the amp rack and system

 

Surprised I didn't think of that! I mess with too many things on my truck lol.

 

i havent been on ina while, but good news is i dont the manual conversion, and truck drifts in fourth gear! so much torque!
**** at top speed though, going 60mile and hour with 3 thousand+ revs :S
carpeted the sub box, except the amp lids.

and il lget ya pics, cept this isnt my pc im on atm, dont have em, lol

****test ride but looks sick with stockies. haha

 

Wait, what transmission do you have now?
and it drifts in 4th? what tires? lol

 

Nice bro cant wait for the pics

 

Sorry, itll skate or drift in 3rd/4th on gravel or the wet roads.
itll kick out a little in the dry if i give it to it.. but eh.. itll blow up if i keep punishing it! lol.
New things:
-Replaced the clutch the a month ago with a standard Excedy kit, and had flywheel machined.
-got some Ford Territory rims.
-heater fan was vibrating horribly, and then i found a dead mouse in the trucks heater box/fan.. eugh! it smelt baayyyd! lol
-done some repairs on tub and bonnet

Looks badass man.

 

Its been a long time since Ive posted, maybe you fellas have wondered whats up!
Lets see what pics I have.
New headliner and pillar trims from a 4runner, re-trimmed with gray material
New timing chain, new water and oil pumps, new timing chain cover, painted engine parts up.

 

And I slide on wet grass and smacked a street light :'(

 

Owch mate, that must've hurt! Too embarassed to tell the story? lol

hey Chris, you have a facebook?

 

Wow that sucks. Nice fix on it though. Whats next for her.

 

Yeah dude. Christopher Progrs Walker

 

Long time no see fellas!

So whats next for the Hilux? well, I finished all the body work, re primed it all this interesting blue colour... and then it done the head gasket. so its backk of the road and in bit in the garage.. lol.
Doing a holden commodore V6 engine conversion, (buick v6) and tubbing the front end.

 

Looking good. Is that engine like a 4.3 with a 700r transmission?

 

The truck looks amazing bro. I wish i had that kind of time and money for my truck. Id love to have the resources to make my own roll pan too, that would be hella sick yo. lol

I dont have a tach yet so i cant tell, but 3gs sounds high for 60mph??
maybe just the dif between the W55 and the W56 if thats what you have.

Still an amazing truck. i always imagine being able to go down there and get me a real nice hilux four door diesel. alas.

So you are intent on that v-6? Forgive me, but i'm kind of a purist. Have you looked into larger Toyota conversions?

 

Thanks man!

Haha, I dont have a heap of money... :S
It helps knowing who you know and how much you can do yourself.

Ah I dunno about the hilux gearboxs.

Haha.

Fair enough man, but here's the reasons.
I got the V6 for free.
These engines are cheap to buy/cheap parts, very common engine here.
The only other toyota engines worth doing are 1uz or 2jz.
1uz is a V8. And 2jz is a much harder conversion.
I cant drive a V8 until im fully licenced, which is two years yet... Australian laws.
You can buy a conversion kit for the V6, and its a relatively easy to do conversion.. As opposed to a 1uz or 2jz conversion.
