    Hope in the next month.. Just waiting on this handbrake / tailshaft setup.

    No exhaust at the moment, finishes at the factory cats. Sounds horn.. I gotta make the exhaust up still..

    Well the coaster went back home for the first time today..

    Spent the last few weekends finalising everything including a 2x 2.5" exhaust we made that runs down each underside of the bus and then after the diff merging into a single 3".

    From there it was test driving, ironing out bugs and finally at 3pm my old man got to drive it home where he can start on the camper fitout.

    Goes quite well, can't expect too much when it's lugging around 4 tonne. But gets up and goes ok and holds its own on the hills.

    Was very pleased with the whole conversion.. It'd be one of the bigger conversions i've done and basically we turned the key and went for a drive. The only problem was getting the drum brake that is mounted in the centre of the 2 halves of the tailshaft aligned. It was very pedantic about angles etc. But after trying some different thickness shims and getting the angles spot on it feels fine.

    I think the IACV needs a clean as it sometimes stalls after it's on decel down a hill and comes to a stop. We still need to box the engine bay back in but that is easy enough.

    I'll get some photos.

    Cheers

    Hmm seems 4 tonne of Coaster even the mighty 1UZ can't get it to skid. 4x rear tyres probably dont help either.

    Would it be better to run a hilux manual box? Or some sort of truck manual box?

    Nice work man!

    I just noticed that tranny cooler - shouldn't it be rotated 90* or 180* to allow the air to bleed out of it?

    The way it is now, wouldn't the fluid would take the path of least resistance (straight across the bottom 2 or 3 rows) and not fill the whole cooler?

    I wish every bus in my city was like this! Great idea, longing for the skidmarks too =)

    Engine conversion is when you drive a shitbox which costs a whole LEXUS to own

    So now I am going to travel Aus in this I thought I should put some better seats in..

    Kia Carnival was the source mainly due to the cool arm rests.
