I do try to avoid driving through deep sand, though.




I try to avoid it too, but you know...

Don't worry about it Dan. I ended up finding one local. It has a K&N filter in it, but it is kinda manky. I have gone and cut all the baffles out of the rear, and also given it the BFI opening. I'll clean up the filter and see what it is like, but I am still leaning towards buying a new one from Toyota.

As for the bonnet, I cut some of the reinforcement out to fit my fibreglass vent. I never thought to weigh it. Andrew's fibreglass bonnet is only 9kg from memory, and it is bloody great quality. You could easily pass it off as an original Toyota item.

The V8 supercars use a gutted steel bonnet, I believe. I know I keep harping on about the V8s, but they are a sedan based race car so it is relevant.

I have now completed the passenger door, but after my third attempt the drivers door still has fitment. Tonight I am separating the inner from the outer, making the inner fit, and then I am going to bond them back together using Sika marine grade fibreglass adhesive. I am fed up with the driver door. LOL

I have paid up to go to a private test day on the 5th of April, so I need to get the car together, do a new alignment, and generally prep the car for a thrashing.
