Luke's Minibus 1st V6 24v cosworth now fitting a 2JZGTE

[Luke]

it still tramped in 2nd - i could hear it banging into the floor

but pencil has hit paper allready and some tramp bars are on the way

[Sundowner]

the ultimate way to get leafs to bite

[dachre]

Tramp bars are ok... but there are better ways.... Has anyone fitted 5 link/watts linkage and direct acting coil overs to a transit? I've done it many times using Capri/Atlas axel into race/rally cars over the years. I guess someone must of done that... i'll have a search.... .....

[Luke]

ive started on the tramp bars - ive posted my progress in this thread viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28634&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
ive not done much lately - just been very busy with work and stuff also my garage where i work on my van has gone so my van is in storage so difficult to work on

i may one day go for full 5/6 link and coil overs but the tramp bars are an easier option and they worked well on brownys

[Luke]

Well passed the MOT today not much chance of it failing as its done 750 miles since last year

anyway done in time for ford fair apart from that no progress at all not even got the alloys on the front

[AlanN]

not even got the alloys on the front

Oh! come on Luke, its just not on

[madmark]

he has got to get his finger out for fordfair!

[AlanN]

Problem is mark, his got his finger in someone else's van and not his own

[madmark]

[Luke]

alloys wont be on for fordfair problem is now i dont have a garage to work on the van in anymore and it's in storage i'm still working on fitting the alloys but struggling to get anyware fast i'll get there in the end tho

[madmark]

so are you takeing the van to ford fair or your runaround??????? we need to make a good impression

[Luke]

this van is still going to fordfair - just without front alloys

[madmark]

[Luke]

Just got back from Ford fair, not really any progress on the van but it has motivated me to get a move on so many little jobs need doing

the prop centre bearing is now totaly shagged - i had to slow right down on the way back i was seriously worried it was gonna go *i must get the tramp bars done*

the engine is now running rough too - not had time to have a look but yet but feels like its running on 5 cyls

i had a go on the 0-60 sprint (cheers dave for the pass) even though the van was running crap i couldnt pass up a free ticket managed a semi repectable 9.3 seconds

anyway all being well i'll be updating this thread a bit more over the coming months

[MONSTER 0NE]

nice to see you have a bit more motivation to get the van finished now mate
