I shall be trying to make my return... if the old girl makes it over the hill (made it back from Hamilton without issue)

They're on trademe, may sell before I get around to hacking them up. https://trademe.co.nz/877118130

Nope, i dont imagine they'd get certed anyway would they? I always see Pine's wheels with 'for track use only' etc. Even if the actual wheels could be certed, it wouldnt be worth my time making them sizes that could run legal tyres. Im wanting them huge.

I did try Pine but they didnt have the tools or barrels at the time, will try again. I've heard that Bateman can be a bit shit, people getting wheels back with completely different widths/offsets etc.

Again, just wondering if people know of a company that can do this. I have a bank to offer me financial advice.

I could buy a similar set of the same wheels, in a similar size to what i want to make from Japan for around $12k.

Im not fussed about selling, if someone pays what im asking them they're gone... But it's always been my intention to make 3 piece anyway. Just wanting to talk to someone about cost etc.

Alright, so far no one has purchased my wheels, possibly over priced? not sure, but im not interested in reducing the price. Im now considering the possibility of turning them into 3 piece wheels... Does anyone know a company that is able to do this? and do a good job? They are currently 14x6.5 +9, maybe looking at 14x10 and 14x9, or even going to 14x12.

That's my old lip, will fit your one a bit better. This is a photo of it on mine.

Went for the MRP wilwood kit in the end. Should be done next week

Just factory at this stage, with BC Gold coilovers

Yeah just standard, callipers the size of babies feet I'm also looking at doing a decent upgrade now since I'm going to need a cert regardless and I don't want to have to re-cert later on if I want to upgrade again.

Hey all, I'm looking at upgrading the brakes in my AE70. I am pretty set on the MRP wilwood kit, but want to consider other options before commiting. The car is just a street car, running a NA 4age on itbs, nothing huge. May have the occasional track day. This is what I've looked into: http://www.mrpltd.co.nz/product/350/ae86-ke70-big-brake-kit.html Has anyone else got this or a similar wilwood kit in their AE86/KE70/AE70 etc and can shed some light on their performance? Also, does anyone have any alternatives, looking around the $1200-$1500 mark for calipers, pads, braided lines and disks. Cheers

I didn't realise, these things sell for a small fortune in the UK. 4000 pounds + for a very tidy one.

Have a look at 'Fizzy Days', a movie about these bikes. Has a banging blonde getting off on them, pussy magnets.

So nice! I'm hopefully picking one up soon. Found it tucked away in the corner of the gfs apartment building How would it go with a bigger guy riding (90kg+)?

Cheers guys! Turns out the wof guy was nice to her and didn't put it on the books so she could decide whether to sell it or fix it so easily sorted.

Hey all, Sorry if this has been covered but I'm on a phone. I'm looking at a car tonight that has just recently failed a wof because of rust on the strut tower. If a car fails due to rust, does the work have to be done by a panel beater and do I need a repair cert? It's already failed and in the system. Or could I fix it and just take it to another wof place? I'm only looking at it because it's cheap, but if I'm going to have to pay a panel beater to do it and get a repair cert then it won't be worth it.

Never mind everyone, shiny things took my attention and I purchased a new set up.

Haha as much as I would love to say I made something like that, I had them made by Steve at Frost Engineering. PVA would have a better hold than my welding

Yeah would have to come out. If the AE85 tank doesn't fit I'm just going for a whole new set up.

Because that would cost money, which he is trying to avoid. If we can simply swap tanks then he would prefer that

Hey all, My mate had an accident when trying to move my car around our lock up, in short it slipped off the jack he had on the diff and cracked my fuel tank. He said he has an AE85 fuel tank he can replace it with. Does anyone know if it will be a straight bolt in?

Painted the engine bay and the motor is back in, clutch master cylinder mounted and the radiator hoses done. As she currently sits And a close up of the hoses because I'm stoked! Look amazing.
