Question...why the reverse lights under the bumper?

---

When i used to drive the car daily I had a 90 degree turn to make out of my shed and i couldnt see the fence with the standard reverse lights in the dark.

Thats a nice practical modification then and million % better then original items if the switch decides to work as we know.

haha, yeah actually my reverse light switch was dead at around that stage as well, I just have those lights on a switch.

I have a toyota celica box in there now and it's a terrible gearbox, but atleast the reverse light switch works

I took the car for a 600km round trip to Noosa and back on Saturday to go and have a look at the hillclimb and the car ran well, although as expected it doesn't like climbing steep hills or traffic.. so I think that a fancy ally radiator will be on the cards in the near future.

I think I will also endevour to move the engine further back, if I trim the lip along the firewall I should be able to get the engine another inch back, which will hopefully allow for me to fit some bigger fans in there aswell depending on whether the new radiator is the same width as the current one. I am not sure if my gearbox tunnel is going to allow me to go much further back, but time will tell.

Just have to start saving some money again [;^)]

Damion.

Hi. Just wondering if you can post a pic of what your car looked like when you purchased it? Missed your old thread.

Cheers

Damn thats one nice Mk2. I think im going to steal your idea and fill the C-piller vents, What are the side effects of doing this? Ow and i will also cover my fuel filler things as it does nothing. Hope you dont mind. Just makes your car look so damn tough!

The car is a credit to you. Its bloody awesome =)

Hi Jules,

I will try and get a pic up of it when I first bought it.. it wasn't pretty. Why do you ask ?

Cheers JordyCharlieBoz, I have no idea of the side affects of having the vents blocked off, although I would guess it should fog up more easily.. although it has never seemed to be the case.

I guess it is time for a bit of an update aswell.

The car has been off the road since June. I have nearly got everything for the new engine now (finally) after the cracked block fiasco, it is nothing fancy, pretty much a standard engine. Had a few dramas with the new block but hopefully its all sorted now.

Unfortunately 4 months is a long time and in that period I have started pulling up everything else on the car so I have got my work cut out for me when it comes to putting it back together again.



My new pedal box arrived last week as well



Unfortunately I felt a strong desire to purchase this a couple of weeks back, so I guess the tidying up of it will be the major hold up on the blue one for the next couple of months. And then it will be back to saving for a new ECU for the blue one !



Cheers,

Damion

The Mk1 looks to be in good nick.

Lowbacks and a crossflow.

Nice.
