This is my daily driven work car ,been thru a few motors until I did the subi conversion , best thing I ever did to it.
Originaly found the car in a paddock pretty much how it looks now , except for rims and holes in the front and a sanding with 1200w/dry. Every mechanical part rebuilt or replaced and also had irs and disc conversion. Does the sleeper thing well.

fk oath it does the sleeper well! nice

nick

top sleeper!!

how much does the engine stick through the engine lid and did you cut up any sheet metal to make it fit?

Cheers

yep nice sleepy WAKEY WAKEY!

note to self, beware type3's that sound funny. Nice work, you going suby power in your dual cab?

Cheers Stephen

Hey klaus, can you give any details of the gearbox - rebuilt/ratios? What clutch and pressure plate are you using to withstand the EJ20T abuse?

Cheers
Alan

the dual cab has a ej22 in the back with 091 box , but seriously thinking of doing the ej20t if i can get the funds to do it. I have two spare rs liberty w/a intercoolers tempting me in the shed.
The box in type 3 is a single side plate and havent done a thing to it except oil change . Clutch is stock 215mm sach sprung centre friction plate with a 800kg (about 1700lb) pressure plate from cbb. Havent had a problem with either , but to be honest I dont abuse them off the line only once the cars moving do I give it a little bit.
I cut most of the loading area out , and made a new lid which sticks up about 100mm.

thats a wicked little toy

nauty nauty! love it

i.want.burnout.

Hell yeah! that would haul. Would love to see this in the flesh at some stage.

sorry for the noob question, but can you take a pick of the radiator set up?

Cant see too much but heres some shots of it and frame it sits in . Car will be at Blast from the past at Berry on sunday 6th may. Then on stage at westfield miranda performing with Hi Five, the following weekend

that is exactly what i like to see gonna do it myself and guess what i have a bay dual cab with a EJ22 aswell ahahahahahaha twins? ahahahahahaha looks the shit mate can u send thorugh a few more piccies of around the rad? did u use solid radiator line or just flex and where did u run them?(am asuming through tunnel up centre of floorpan?) seriously matew that is kick ass!!
cheers

Yeah pipes up the tunnel , will get some better shots of lower rad . The dual cab will now be getting a ej20t as I've just bought a frontcut at a very good price and couldn't knock it back. So the torture of the wiring begins again , but am looking forward to a turbo 200hp splitty, dropped on the ground.
I have 9 flexible joints in the cooling system so far only one will occasionally leak, once every 2 months . Its all made out of 30mm waterpipe. Tight squeeze up the tunnel. Will re-do it when splitty's on the road.

sweet as mate yer i would prefer the turbo too! is there gonna be much difference in the wiring changing from the EJ22 to the EJ20T??
cheers

i saw this one at the berry show, its such a sneaky unit you cant even tell that its packing that kind of punch until you check out the back

didn't splice ej22 harness into splitty's yet just got rid of unnecesary crap, also i'm using a complete harness out of a 75 kombi so it can handle 12v and a bit more amps .
The front cut I picked up doesnt have abs or cruise control unlike the one for the wagon, so its got alot less headaches. meaning 2 less computers to remove .

a few extra ponies at the rear wheels plus the awesome style of the marvellous type 3. Winning combination mate! well done

A bloke called 'Sideshow' in Sydney does wiring - I think it is $600 exchange, ready to fit, modifies your harness and labels it ready to install
HTH

Man.. that must be so much fun to drive!

I'd love to do this conversion on Gwendoline (my notch) but it just seems so complex lol
