1UZ into MX22, more pics now.

[joecoolmk2]

yeah still doing it, but i need to make room in the shed to do some work on it, as i need to take the engine out again.

LS1 would fit easier, but it would be blasphemy

I now realise why it only had a six cylinder in it before

[VikingDrift]

haha nice, well good thing i'm a meathead and good luck with the '22 i'll b keepin an eye out for updates!

[cambelt]

Yeah I gave up twice , I did it 4 years ago and then spent a further 50hrs again with the same 1uz in another car trying 20 or more racks , Best small rack to date is AE82 . moral of the story is its a bit hard to engineer a good steering setup without going to major major extremes . we got it right but had too much loose steering lock . he didnt want a XF.

I had a play with a few racks & ended up just keeping the box.
2J ftw! Still a lot of effort with a 1J, and there'd actually be more steering clearance with the 2J due to the manifold sitting 30mm higher!

Glad you're getting back into it Joe, its certainly hard to find the motivation some days.

Cheers

Don't worry about steering lock.....just go for zero bumpsteer. A couple of turbos and mostly you'll be going for the opposite lock anyway.

Cambelt and the other Dave are majorly soft.

And finsh up already Joe!

i hear ya GT, im a bit slack of late.


On a side note to any MX10/12/22 owners, i've still got my MX10, and considering selling it. Just gauging interest in parting out because i'm sure i'd get more for it in parts than as a whole.

It has nearly no rust(seriously) and an uncracked dash. Good bumpers and front panels, and plenty of other good parts. Express interest here or pm me.

Does it run & drive?
Colour? (please be white...)

[cambelt]

Hi Joe , If parting , dibs on dashtop , alltho i dont know how it would go being transported as they are all hard as rocks know . Tassie dash tops would be in the best condition nearlly world wide id say . Even all the TM magnas are still running and not stuffed by mild tassie heat.

it used to run and drive but the motor karked it, i'm currently working on putting an old 4M in it. Sorry not white, it's dark green. What parts are you interested in? It has a big dent in the passenger door, and a scrape on the passengerside quarterpanel. The driverside sill is banged in a bit, but other than that it's straight and nearly rustfree(a little bit of surface rust under the bonnet and a couple of very small bubbles on driverside fender)

Haven't checked the dashpad in a while, but since i got it i've regularly treated it with some armorguard.

So doughnuts around Tassie in this yet?

[crowncustom]

Only donuts its done in the last few years is the wear marks the on the dirt where its sitting under Jo'e house.I've done more to my Coupe and the Green MX 10 I bought off Joe than what he has done to his in the last 12-18 Months
Cheers Brett.

[NoRecall]

Thats what happens when you buy a house and start renovating though........ And the biggest reason he's got so little done is the lack of room under his place. He cant really get the motor out atm

[_gear2]

has anything else been done to this?

[crowncustom]

Nothing at all.Still sitting in the same spot it was when I made the last reply.And my Coupe is very close to completion.
Cheers Brett.
