Nice Sandy

And again...

Last one

hey man thats is really nice. that brings my eyes some relief after looking at those spaz jap space trucks and space car things on that other post.

are you gearing up for some racing, you got a spot for a #.
what front & rear tyres are you running. ajustable front beam?, swinger rear or cv rear. hows that oil cooler go when picking through tight sections without much speed (ipresume it replaces the std cooler?). what hve you done with front & rear indicators tail lights. different and good.

lots of questions i know but we've just gotta get the low down details on it...

yep post us some specs!
nice baja, looks pretty full on..

more pics NOW!

very nice

that looks like one very well built baja all it needs is a shark fin type oil cooler housing on the roof i think but awesome either way

Thats fully sick :thumb

More pics pleeeaaase

Here's an older shot at Wes's place. I'll post some specs tonight.

very nice sandy:thumb

hey there, i got myself one close to that yesterday - been sitting in a yard for a few years but f/glass is good and spares incl big wheels and same colour almost in industrial 2 pak. 1300 mtr we thinks

hot dog mufflers and another engine for bits incl 3 flywheels -guess they are 6v
but the eletrix on blue-baja are 12 v Bosch ! Bargain.
Got another f/glass kit and some glass with it

Hi guys,
Some specs:
Motor: 1835, counterweighted crank, scat cam (can't remember size), chromoly pushrods, heavy duty valve springs, 1.25:1 ratio rockers, super heavy duty oil pump, 009 dizzy with compu-fire electronic ignition, twin 45 Webers, Flex-a-lite oil cooler on roof, still has original cooler on motor. Heads are standard (already spent too much money). Don't know how much power it has, but the standard clutch couldn't handle it, so now has a custom pressure plate.
Box: Race prepped type 1 IRS, Super diff, welded hubs, h/d carrier, h/d sideplate, 5.14:1 r&p.
Front end: Modified K&L.
Helterskelter, those tail lights & front indicators are Hella items. Rear indicators are from the side of an early model Rav 4.
Interior: Fibreglass bucket seats, half roll cage, VDO guages.
CV's are Kombi, driveshafts are type 3 semi auto. Rear arms are lengthened, strenghtened and have slight negative camber.

Very nice if it stops raining!!! I can finally paint mine

tell me about welded hubs

am brand new to bajas


btw what a list of mods & specs.

my Karmann has an 1835 with irs to take the grunt -very similar to yours.

Whats modified about the front beam?

Hi guys,
Karmen, The welded hubs I'm talking about are the synchro hubs. Synchros are basically made up of a hub that sits on the shaft, a ring and a sleeve that slides over the top to engage. As far as I know a welded hub just means that it's been welded to the shaft. They must break there when shifted hard, I'm not sure. I bought the box from a mate of mine whom I've since lost contact with and all I've got is a receipt that says what I've put down in my last post.
Chewy, the front end has adjusters, lengthened shocky towers with cross brace, and modified bump stops.

looks real good...Kool colour too

Here's a dodgy photo of a photo taken on Fraser Island, Jan '95 after the 1st build up.

Here's a before shot, taken Feb. '94.
when bad things happen to good bugs........:P

The 3rd & 4th gears have the dog teeth press fit onto the gear, with hard shifting the dog teeth can spin on the gear meaning now drive, so the dogs are welded to the gear to stop this happening. Later models had the dogs & gears made as one piece.

hey me know why they call you Sandy ....

even the keyboard odf sandy got SAND in it...acc pic above !!

Hey sandy we forget about the long front trailing arms , or are we just hiding them from mr plod

terry

Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more ..

Oh really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Does this mean it's worth more?)
Anyway, haven't you got a Tow'dster you should be rebuilding?:P
