Lexurf VI.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Thought I'd take advantage of the warm dry day today and sort out the front bumper, valance and end caps. Gave it a good scrubbing and ended up with this....



Dismantled it and rub it down with wet-or-dry paper, a hose off a coat of black enamel (it's more flexible) another rub down to smooth over when dry, and a shiny top coat.
You can't tell from the photo very well, but I polished the indicator lenses too.

i got a full set of leather seats from katzkin in the us - $600 delivered when the dollar was 2 for a quid.they are excellent quality and fitted a treat - easy weekends work to fit the lot.
they also do the leathercloth ones a lot cheaper - might be worth a look bearing in mind what itll cost to have them re-covered in the uk.

They are asking $750 now. Plus $375 for delivery Plus possibly getting stung for tax . Will check out my local refit place - may not be much more expensive, though I have no idea what they will want to do it. Perhaps a kidney?

And bear in mind, that all lexurf owners have to engage in R&D...I think it's the rules?

I really should be charging for all this information that took me months to research you know!

Stick it all on a DVD/CD and sell them? On 2nd thoughts; don't do that, they'll end up on eBay...

Yea..that's the badger! Having pulled the actuators earlier tho, seems counterproductive putting all that gibbons back on? Just another blanking plate on the side (or the piece from Celsior), a resistor, and a bit of pipe tweakery..

Just pull evrything off, tape over the open ends of the plugs and tuck them away out of site. I've never needed any resistors to 'fool' the ECU.
Then plug all the open ports on the plenum/throttle body.
Make up a blanking plate on the side of the plenum but leave the valve cover breather hose port open to connect a hose onto it to the PCV valve.
The Celsior plenums are undrilled/tapped at the back for the EGR pipe.

Nice top end pics please..finally stripped my cam covers and inlet off for paint today and my mud eye had a little flutter when I realised Ive probably forgotten where everything goes

Vince, do you just blank the EGR pipe? I'm thinking of pulling the whole system after sniffing round on lextreme. Thanks to the new galleries, went back to see No.2 which had no EGR..what yr Lex' was that one?

Do you mean the solid pipe that goes from the inlet plenum to the exhaust manifold?
Yes, just make up a blanking plate for the plenum and exhaust manifold.

No. 2 and No. 6 are Toyota Celsior engines, they don't have the EGR stuff.

Don't read too much into what thy say on Lextreme, it's mostly 'sledge hammer to crack a nut' talk.
The Aussie site, engine conversion section, 1UZ-FE threads are straight talkers.
