Thanks to Dark Enterprises I just bought 2 of his interior block LED's with the 200 lumen light output.
One word...WOW!!!
They are seriously bright and work a treat. Especially the rear barn door light over the drawer system is a must have and to find stuff in the back is easy now!
Thanks mate, love them!
From outside the car with the lights on at night looks like a space ship just landed...lol
Wow freakin aliens landing.
Bloomin heck mate, are you sure you still have your corneas after turning those on!!!!!!!????????? hahahahahahaha............................... Might have to see about getting one in the back for sure though, me like alot.
haha. Personal preference for the front but yeah must have for the rear roof light. Almost no shadows, thats how bright it is...lolQuote:

Well It's been over a month and a half since I updated this but I have some good news!
Extended the home loan for this one but i just could not say no to the price I got this for.
Bluey is getting turbo'd very very soon!
I manage to find a factory turbo off 2001 TD42T and also managed to get the manifold off him as well.
It should arrive by tomorrow or Thursday and I am super excited!!!!
I'm going to check out Tony's helpful DIY thread. More then happy to fit it myself but a little skeptical in drilling holes in the block but we'll see how we go anyway.
I'm just after the 3" exhaust with the boost and pyro and then Bluey will be beefed up for action!!!
Stay tuned!
Might have to fly Tony down for an all expense trip to sunny Melbourne....LMAO
Is the missus still talking 2 you???Quote:

Tony
No probs mate, will lay it all out and take shots tomorrow.Quote:

looking forward to see the upgrade.
Hi Tony, photos of the turbo are below...
Some of the photos turned out poor so let me know if you need any better shots mate.
I think I need the following...NOTE: I am deleting items off the below list as I go along.
- Tap 3/8 BSP to sump
- block pcv holes
- air filter
- Missing clip for air filter housing
Crikey mate!! I never knew fitting a turbo was that complicated!!! I know stuff all about mechanical anyway, but full power to you for having a lash - it'll get sorted no doubt and can't wait to see it finished (and hear it on a video!! lol)Quote:

Can't wait to hear the sound of Bluey with the turbo and exhaust!!!!
I'll keep deleting the items listed above and ticking them off as I go.
These photo's show how restrictive the standard TD42 dump pipe is;

Attachment 6655
Compare that to the one you just ordered when it arrives.
And if you like the sound of a turbo diesel Patrol fit one of these;

Only slightly illegal!
