Installed the suspension today....

Posted Image

t3 sleeve and spring kit
strut tubes shortened 2"
6" sleeves
350 lb springs
75mm tein keepers

Posted Image

Posted Image

Lowering springs that have been compressed 40mm. Unknown brand. (were red but weren't cobras or pedders) Im using ke70 wagon rear shocks to hold it captive, but am going to upgrade them soon.

Cut down bump stops, has about 30mm travel left.

Posted Image

A strut brace i modified to fit. It didn't fit on with the factory air box so currently running no filter. Im planing to put my other engine in this weekend anyway.

Posted Image

Posted Image

How it sits at the moment. 13x6 and 13x6.5 work equip 01s.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Can wind the coilovers down heaps more.

Posted Image

Will cut the rear springs a little and wind the coilovers down one day soon. Need lower profile tyres asap!

Finished swapping the engine over. Got it with a standard 4k, now has the following upgrades.

specs:
kelford fast road cam
lightened flywheel
32/36 weber
electric dizzy
extractors into 2" pipe
exedy clutch and 5 speed box.

Goes heaps better, still have to swap the diff head over though. Ive got a locked 4.3 ratio to put in, i think the one in it at the moment is a 3.9 ratio, so it should help acceleration a little.

Posted Image

Bolted in the Recaros.

Posted Image

Swapped my wheels over aswell, looks better IMO. Tires are a little bit lower profile too...Looks a bit high in the front in this picture, will wind the coilovers down a bit asap.

Posted Image

Its got a factory head unit that only gets AM which sucks. Ive got a head unit to put in but don't know where to mount it as It doesn't fit in the glove box. I don't want it to be visible as it will look like shit and i want to keep it original looking as possible inside.

So I put the 4.3 ratio diff head in, which made a huge difference seeing as the old diff head was a 3.4. (didn't even know they did a 3.4) It was an x code diff which has the smaller 5.6" crown wheel and skinnier axles as apposed to the 6" u code diff and it turns out the u code rear ends also have bigger drums.

Posted Image

So i just swapped them over with my other car.

I also pulled out my dash so that i could remove the air conditioning unit to give me room to cut the back of my glove box out to fit a head unit in. Ended up being a bit of a mission really.

Posted Image

and pretty much replaced this

Posted Image

with this

Posted Image

Then put the dash back in and cut a hole in the back of the glove box for the back of the head unit to poke through.
now looks like this.

New parts.

I got an AJPS lock spacer, not a massive improvement but noticeable none the less. (added a 1/4 turn each way)

Posted Image

Couldn't take a photo of what the lock was like before because i didn't have a camera, but this is how it looks now.

Posted Image

Also new engine and box setup

Posted Image

Posted Image

Gen 1 16v big port 4a-ge and t50. Has an ae86 rwd 4age intake manifold and 4a-ge to k series engine mounts, still converting the water lines to suit the rwd configuration.

Posted Image

Nardi steering wheel and HKB boss kit. (i bought a nardi horn button but it doesn't fit)

I picked up these cusco camber plates for cheap.

Posted Image

They are from an evo 7, i might modify them to fit or just buy some new ones that fit my car.

Posted Image

Posted Image

yea my garage is a mess.

Engines in.

Posted Image

Cut a new hole for the gearstick as it sits about 100mm further back than factory. Also ran a clutch line, i grabbed a clutch line off my brothers old crashed corona and bent it to fit, fitted perfectly and thats where i stole my clutch master cylinder from too.

Posted Image

Ive got two sets of extractors and none of them fit right, one set hits the starter motor and the other ones hang to low. Once the cars back on the ground they will be a few center meters off the ground....

Posted Image

It was a nice surprise to find that someone had stood on and broken my mint larger radiator.

Posted Image

Decided to get a honda civic aluminum radiator. $140 trade me spacial.

Posted Image

and got me one of these.

Posted Image

Im picking up my modified gearbox X member this weekend and getting a drive shaft, which will unfortunately still need to be modified.

Getting close now.

Gearbox cross member is done.

Posted Image

Mounted radiator. My mate wired the 4a-ge up for me, its the first engine hes wired up but everything seems fine so far. The loom will have to come back out to be tidied up at a later date.

Posted Image

Video of it running.



Currently has no exhaust. Should be getting my drive shaft back from center line in a couple of days then it will be drivable but still need an external fuel pump.

My old 4k.

I finished off the hydraulic clutch.....kinda.

Posted Image

Mounted the Walbro fuel pump and driveshaft.

Posted Image

Even got a new exhaust. 4 into 1 extractors to a 2 1/4" pipe with a bullet muffler in the middle and a big muffler on the back. It had a dumpy tip, but my mate welded a bit of 2 1/2" pipe on the back for me.

Posted Image

So it drives now, but not without some small problems to begin with, it would drive a couple hundred meters then stall.

Posted Image

Figured out the alternator wasn't charging the battery so sorted that out and then it went fine. It seems the person that owned the motor before me snapped one of the bolts that holds the water pump on so it leaks out the water pump gasket. just means i have to top it up every now and again.

Posted Image

Also got some new wheels.

Posted Image

Hayashi Street
13 x 7 +7 offset and 13 x 8 0 offset

Posted Image

rear.

Posted Image

front. They will tuck under once i dial a little more camber in.

Posted Image

Im going to run 175 50 r13s which means i wont be running them for a while because Ive got other stuff to pay for and don't want to run weak sized tyres on them and it will drop my car under 100mm so probably wait till after cert.

And i got some bug eye starlet knuckles which give me 10mm track and 1 degree camber. (needed them to get my wheel alignment right due to the lock spacer making it so i couldn't adjust my tie rod enough)
Can you notice the slight camber?

So i picked up some 165 55 r13s nankangs for a decent price.

Posted Image

Put them onto the streets, used fire to get them onto the 7s but had to use a 12" bike tube for the 8s. wound down the coilovers to suit. (exhaust is 15mm off the ground)

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Also got some 20v silvertop quad throttle bodies with 50mm trumpets and some better coilovers that are body adjustable and have adjustable damper.

Posted Image

got more sweet parts on the way.

Posted Image

13x5.5 toms igetas with 175 50 yokohama a539s, will probly put the tyres onto my equips.

Posted Image

Posted Image

I got these seats off mutiny seeing as mine aren't a matching pair.

A few new bits and pieces.

t3 short shift kit and a genuine trd gear knob. 55% reduction in throw, the trd kit is only about 30% reduction.

Posted Image

Picked up these chrome rain guards, about as rare as rocking horse shit.

Posted Image

I reckon they look pretty cool. suits the other chrome trim nicely.

Posted Image

My mate gave me this badge as someone had removed mine before i got the car.

Posted Image

Japanese nostalgia parkup? my dads restored gsx 1100 katana.

Posted Image

I went on the oldschool cruise to kaikoura, it was a nice drive around the hills with like minded people. my car didnt have too many problems, just an oil leak or three. Thanks to those who took the photos.

Posted Image

tried doing some drifting at the go kart track.

Posted Image

Posted Image

i like this photo because it makes my paint look decent (its not).

Posted Image

I raised it up for daily use, will be lowered again after certification (the roads here are shit especially after the earthquake). also got some adapter bushes so that i can fit ae86 struts. Im looking for some if anybody has some they are willing to sell or just the brake setup, hubs, disks, calipers etc.

Striped out the interior, bye bye back seats.

Posted Image

Posted Image

When i bought my diff it wasn't assembled so finally got around to putting it all together, thought id snap a quick photo.

Progress has been slow as of late.

Posted Image

I got a nice new work space with a lot more room which makes life a lot easier. The motors been out for a couple of months to try fix an oil leak and a few other bits and pieces.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Put on a new 10lb flywheel that im borrowing and gave the cam covers a lick of paint. Also gave the motor a good clean.

Bought a few parts too.

Posted Image

TRD shocks/ coilovers for the rear, not sure if im going to use them as the sleeves are pretty shit.

Posted Image

Willwood calipers, 260mm slotted discs all mounted to ae86 struts.

just put the motor back in tonight should have it running within a few days.

So i got the motor all up and running in time for the nostalgic hero meet. relocated the battery to inside the cabin.

Posted Image

how the engine bay looks now.

Posted Image

I finally got around to painting the mirrors and gave the outside a good tidy up/polish.
Photos from the meet/cruise thanks to Hayden Crocker and Daniel Mirfin.

Posted Image

Driving a lowish car on the road was nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be, a few bumps and scrapes.

Thought it was about time for an update.

picked up this wing a while back, i don't really plan on running it. I don't think it suits the rest of the car.

Posted Image

Got a 90 degree reducer for the filter so that its not as cramped. Also twisted the camber plates around to add more caster.

Posted Image

Swapped out the wood grain hand brake for a black one.

Posted Image

Heavy duty sway bar (26mm compared to 23mm) with extra caster pull. Haven't put this in yet as i need to modify brackets/to lazy.

Posted Image

T3 knuckles for putting in ae86 struts.

Posted Image

So as you can see i attended a drift day at Ruapuna last weekend. Trying to drift such a small car was a bit challenging for me but was super fun. Until halfway through the day i went a bit wide and got all up on the ripple strip and snapped an Axel. I went home and got my spare axle and managed to get back out there for the last session of the day. Defiantly need to make a few changes before the next track day. need a better seat, modded knuckles and sort out the rear suspension. all in all it was an awesome day.

A few more photos thanks to fliboi and awesomepowered.com.

This photo was seconds before snapping my axle.

Will do another update some time soon about changes to the car.
