I might even make it yet
Piggles went for i's first drive up the street under G16 power tonight. :armsup:
I have one problem to fix - it think one of the engine/gearbox loom plugs isn't fully seated - ignition breaks down and the auto chucks a spazzy if I jiggle the loom heading towards the engine.
Other stuff to do - Flares/mudflaps, make some brackets for the air box, mount the bullbar. That's about it - plenty for three evenings to finish.
Other than that it drives sweet. Plenty of power, no nasty noises or anything, steers and handles well, even with no nuts on the front radius arm bolts

The steering will take some getting used to -its feels like a vitara - none of that sierra squishiness off centre. Cooling setup seems fine - fans kick in with the temp gauge showing 1/2 on the gauge. Auto temp gauge works nice, and my "slam mod" shifter works nice too - detent button fully in, I can slam L to R instantly.
I'm feeling pretty pumped for the tour now - at last.
Oh - I don't think I will stay at Noojee on Friday night - seems a bit silly to drive to Noojee and then back to Yarra Junction. I'm happy to cover my share of the accommodation cost for friday if it's an issue.
Steve.
