Pic of modern Yaris steering coloumn with breakaways. Also pic of my tilt column and the mounting bits so it will bolt straight in to replace current Torrie set up.

Nonsense talk Harv. If you have a collapsible straight cloumn facing the driver, it won't collapse in away from the driver unless there is a breakaway. Even modern ultra short EPS steering gear with multiple unis within the dash space still use breakaways.
If I found an engineer giving that advice I ...

You can buy a 2 bolt breakaway from one or more of the hot rod places that can bolt onto the dash and clamps on to the column. The way I did mine was to use the holden 70's steering mount which has 3 bolts and works nicely under the dash. To do that you have to weld a bracket onto the new column to ...

Is it a collapsible column? If so, the steering wheel end must be mounted using breakaway slip plates bolted to the dash frame to pass engineering and also to be effective. The original mount can still be there but more as a decoration. Sorry if this has been raised previously.
I have a similar ...

Craig, I am interested in your placement of the Malpassi filter/ regulator. Is vapourisation a potential issue with the glass bowl above exhaust?

Yes air fuel thingy sits on ~14 except on acceleration when it goes down to 11. Dont forget I have 5th gear overdrive and 3.36 diff. Engine is only doing 2000rpm at 100kph. Setting 2,8 on ice ignition box, fuel pressure 7psi and 14°btdc and the rest is top secret😃


A lot of it is seat of your pants ...

Jetting info is in posts a page or 2 back Clay.

Nah, not yet.

Refilled the ute today. Fuel consumption in old school figures for the Cooma run worked out at 26mpg. Highway drive all the way. Warm 186 with Holley 350, for those questioning the potential economy of a Holley.

Thanks gents. Lots of info there. I was thinking that the Pacemaker PH5004 was a likely contender, but really need to hear from someone who has one fitted to an EK with CRS chassis rail strengthening kit. Dont want to fork out and find I have to change the shape of it to get it to fit.

9 port Blacky.

A question for red motor experts. What brand of extractors are best suited to a worked head, mild cam 186 in EK?

I am toying with swapping from headers, which are doing a good job, but are restricting exhaust a little I'm feeling.

A few more pics.

Cooma Car Club Museum trip today. Some photos attached. Most amazing car was an amphibicar - had wheels and twin props. All cars on show were runners and whole venue was a credit to many hard working volunteers. Very enjoyable day.
