But if i buy 2 UCA';s @ Lextreme you get remanufacturated UCA.
And if i understand correctly Lextreme wants you the send the old ones to them.
They sell UCA's with new balljoints no ?

So somehow they found jointballs and press them in and then sell them.

Tell me i am wrong !!

read the note in RED.

The rebuild service is only for bad bushings. He doesn't rebuild ball joints.

PD You are right again .....
So for you a couple of nice picas !!

2 Picas of the new second hand engine complete with Enfine ECU and wiring harness.




Picas of a man who builds these engines into RAV bodies and then takes them into the Sahara.

This is the follow truck


The Lexus V8 Roarer in a RAV body 4x4


Everything is cut of to simplify the engine and rule out possible failures




Custom made kevlar carbon air flow for maximum flow through that radiator


Manifold is simplified to avoid problems


The coolers ...



Some pretty impressive suspension parts

nog 14 minuten holy crap Eaton my child come to Daddy !!

1989-1992 Thunderbird sc Eaton M90 supercharger. This unit was pulled off a 1990 Thunderbird SC with 107k. It was working when pulled off vehicle. The unit comes with Plenum attachment and front pulley. The rotors look nice and clean and housing in good shape. Seems like it has a little play in bearing which can be expected because of age. I drained the fluid out of it for transportation. You will need to add fresh after mounting.

Countdown has started ....
9 min ....
8 min ....
7 min ...
6 min ...


lol

i bought 2 second hand cilinder heads UFZE so i can start doing a headswap instead of an engine swap. I choose for a headswap because i need te be certain al the oil channels are as good as new, due to the black sludge war i must rule things out.
The heads are coming in from the UK Soarer Sanctuary many thanks to smiffie the man cave leader ....and need to be revised then the valves need to adjusted. Then i will swap heads on the LS and see what is gives me ...
If the ticking is gone i am satisfeid if not it is in the transmission.
I will get my spare transmission and a trainee to teach me how to overhaul my tranny.
then i will swap the trannies ...

thank you ...

now i need to buy this expensive supercharger manifold from bulletcars for 1080 aussie $$$$$

that is a huge dumper in my budget for this never ending bottemloss LS400 project.

then the great engine swap ....

will it ever be boosting at 7.0 psi ???

altough i run one project it feels like five :

1 suspension sucks bushings issues

2 valves ticking

3 steeringhouse leakage

4 paint job

5 supercharger

i need to find a job am afraid i get dirty hands on some dirty job.

Yeah PD,

It sucks, i had to pay 91 eu extra to the customs on a old piece of ****.
The plenum is directing the wrong way
One bolt is bend due to shipping
Paint is lost on the Eaton
Snooth is to short aswell.
The original plenum can be sold
The snooth can be sold
Hopefully i find a cheap snooth ...

greets
