Have done some work with my upgraded fuel tank. Here some CNC-drilliing with the carrot-lathe
Found en electrical connector that is made for fuel tanks
Didn´t feel to safe to use the grinder and welder on the tank
But i am still alive Washed it and filled it with water
Anybody know what the plastic container is there fore? Its located in the tank between the fill tube and the fuel sender and is probably about 12x8x8 inches and there is a piece of metal holding it in place
Smuggling drugs maybe?
Anyone think this will work?
And i just got my order from Jakes Performance. Overhaul and upgrade-kit for my TH400

Tore in to my slipping TH400 and these are some of my findings
But i also had a TH375 that i wasnt using so i decided to use the housing from it, but seems like someone had used a sledgehammer to put it together
Thankfully a friend could weld it for me, with really nice result
Putting together two broken autos + upgrading kit from Jakes Performance was really interesting

Alive and kicking again!
Installed the new tank with two Walbro 450. So much nicer than the external 044
Its really quiet with the stock cam and the "small" turbos. Was thinking about adding more mufflers but i dont know now..
1" instead of stock 5/8" (or 25mm instead of 16mm
)

Some pictures from last week in Lycksele, Sweden. It´s called "Motor week" and some of the events are burnout competition, cruising and dirt track driving. Broke three axle shafts in 24 hours before the rear end exploded
