Thread: Lets have a look at ya Isuzu Landy

Hi Steve.

No thread yet. The chassis is back under the body, so when it's driveable i'll start the thread - which shouldn't be too long - I've had it running through the (Isuzu box) gears, so I'm happy so far.

Thanks for the interest.

Most of the interesting stuff happens BEFORE you get it driveable, so no need to wait

Ha!

I was a young man full of zest and happiness when this 'project' started (in 2008). Now I am but a sad, worn, hollow figure....

I have documented the journey, and it's been a fair-dinkum punish to get the time to work on it, along with technical set backs, so it's just a matter of posting it - and subscribing before I do so.

Forgot to ad, last dyno run approximately 200hp at flywheel and over 1000ft/lb, dyno let go so numbers are close estimates, dyno breaks at 820ft/lb at wheels! About 1/3 torque lost through drivetrain. Last fuel economy check, 11.1l/100km normal driving.
