    I haven't updated this for a while so here it is.

    Nothing too exciting happening yet. Been playing around with the tune a bit, installed an air fuel guage (2J9 from Techedge), replaced faulty deep cycle battery after failed on me on trip from Fraser Island to Landcruiser Mountain, and recently done a pvc elbow airbox lid mod.

    I done mine a little different to others. I used a 90mm 90 degree elbow with flange for rainwater tank overflows.

    I tried to use this entirely but I ended up having to cut the flange from the elbow to lower elbow as it sat too high. I cut it along the red dotted line and used the shorter section on inside the airbox.



    I also fitted a K&N filter which fits snugly inside the lip of the flanged pvc fitting.

    The results are interesting. I was very doubtful initially which is why I had put it off for so long, but I am definitely convinced now. Not a huge improvement but it all adds up. Feels a little more responsive, maybe revs a little bit free from idle no load.

    I also have a new Harris bash plate to fit that I bought ages ago, still wrapped up in plastic.

    I'm eagerly awaiting to save up for a UFI TD05 18g and Cross Country Ultimate Intercooler, then a 12mm pump I guess, a stronger clutch in there somewhere too I guess, 4" snorkel, airbox, inlet manifold, shit this is gunna cost me a fortune. Maybe just a turbo for a while first.
