Last sunday Mux and I saw an excellent example of such a thing at Roubos: it was being used as a cart to place the welding equipment on. Very Happy

Actually, it was battery equipment Banpei,

I'll try and remember to take a photo next time.

They got this HUGE batery and charger setup on one of these things so they can haul it up to the campers that are parked in storage and hook up in case their battery has died during storage.

Beats carrying the heavy biatch.

Last update on this car was AGES ago. How is it doing? still in one piece, or did you sell it already?

It's still in one piece (I hope), but it's been at TE71Corolla's place for some minor welding for ages now...

Wow.. 2 years later and this thing still hasnt seen much track action.
It's explainable though, we found out a lot of very nasty problems that made the car unsafe to drive around on the street, let alone a track. E.g.: Engine was only mounted solidly on 1 side, it was only leaning on the other mount.
The other biggie was the way the seats where mounted on a collection of old crap mounts that were welded together rather poorly.

Little status update just so you guys know it aint dead yet:
-Enginemount was modified this weekend, did a bit of welding and the engine is mounted solidly again.
-Driverside seat is out for a complete redesign of the mounting hardware.
I'm modding a pair of porsche (944?) sliders to fit the oem mounting points, and making my own frame to connect the seatframe to them. That will also sort out the driving position troubles as it will be adjustable again.
- Car has been streetlegal again for a while now. MOT and all.
- Turbo oilfeed has been fixed up, turbo has been replaced with a fresher T25.
-JDM kouki bumper has been trial fitted yesterday, fits like a glove without any mods for the whopping big intercooler that is hiding behind it.
We will be making some lightweight mounts for it shortly, and it will probably get some additional slots/holes to help get more air to the intercooler.

TODO:
-passenger seat mounting (no rush though)
-new bonnet, current one is nackered due to thieves not closing it properly after stealing the HKS airfilter (it blew against the window twice, they tried to steal the blow-off valve another time).
-The pockets in the boot need some serious welding, no problem though since it's all out of sight.
-Engine has a nasty boost leak.. need to get this fixed up somehow.
-Clutch could do with replacement
-The crankcase rear oil seal is leaking, need to replace this when the clutch is off.
-Bodywork in general can wait untill it is driving properly again.
