Greetings All,
I'm a New member from Australia
I am currently in the process of making a Mazda B1800 truck,
with some Mild Modifications to act as a Performace Transporter for my Racing Sprint Kart..
Ever seen a race vehical with a transporter that can Turn similar lap times?..
No well I don't think it ever will...
But it will be a hell of a lot of fun trying.
So far I've done the majority of the work on the Engine however thre are many minor changes.
Engine Mods:
Mild porting of the Cylnder Head
Electronic Ignition, with 8.5mm S/S Suppression Plug Leads
4-in-to-1 Hi-Flow Exhaust Manifold
2.25" Hi-Flow Mandrel Bent S/Steel exhaust (No Cat .. Not required for Local Registration Laws)
DCOE 48 MM Dide Draught Weber Carbutettor..
Plans include future upgrade to 4x36mm Throttle Body Fuel Injection (With Turbocharging)
Chassis Mods:
Conversion of Durm Brake front end to Floating Caliper Disc Brake from a '90 model 2x4 Bravo.
Custom Stiffer Front Anti-Sway Bar.
Plans for Lower front Hub Spindles.. (Once I can find a set)
Transmission:
Removal of 4-Speed Column shift to a 5-Speed Floor shift
Body/Interior:
Pulled the 3-Seater Bench, replaced with a pair of Comfortable and Supportive Buckets. (Required to make room for floor shifter)
Other:
Fittment of 6x16 inch rims
235/55R16 Bridgestone G-Grid Tyres
...........................................................................................
Body is sitting on stands currently getting Prepped and Primed for painting..
Now the Tough decision must be made.. Colour.
Plese be paitent I may have some Q's for you all later.
Espcially those with any experiance with Truck Racing.
