I kinda like it without the lip... maybe just because the one i had wasn't a perfect fit but im not sure i wanna spend the $$$ to buy one from Aus and not like it. Will probably end up selling the one i had.

Almost done, just gotta do the collector and final welds.

More progress! So stoked!!!

Ill let you know my final price when they're done, but I was given a quote of not much for than that for mine in stainless.

Getting them made by Steve at Frost Motorsport. They're fairly expensive since they're the first set but I imagine if there were a couple of people interested then you could get them cheaper.

Another place I spoke to was Macbilt Engineering in Wellington who make 4-2-1 headers for $450 (quoted). They reckon they've done a lot of testing on dynos and they've got the best...

Yeah, I was weighing up whether it was worth goig coilovers in rear but since this is just a road car and trying to keep the cost reasonable I decided these would be easier... Plus I got sweet deals on them!

I think i paid about $1100 all up for everything.

Yeah man, i'll be selling it if i do go for a diff set up but i wont be deciding for a while. 

Yeah, got the heater option but dont think im gonna use it, not at the moment anyway but i just wanted to have the option there if i did decide i wanted it.

Yeah, was stoked! Although im not sure if ill need the dizzy relocation kit now... I've managed to score a good deal on a new Link G4 Storm so might change the set up.

Also these arrived

Also made multiple purchases through moonlight racing and havent had a single issue, have 3 sets of wheels coming in the next container also. 

The beginnings of the radiator shroud. Because im running such a small radiator there were large gaps on either side. This should help direct the air/stop shit flying into the engine bay... plus the alloy will look amazing through the grille.

Have been quoted $850, but final figure could change. Mine are particularly difficult so might be a bit cheaper depending on ease of the job/what you want.

Lock ups out in Porirua, cost about $250 a week I believe for a double.

Headers are going to be stainless steel, equal length 4-1.

Car went off last night for headers, gearbox crossmember and to get radiator mounted etc.

When it comes back I still need to sort the hydraulic clutch, fuel and wiring! Getting close!!!

All sorted, miss understanding.

Hey all,

I'm looking at buying adjustable suspension for my 79 AE70 Corolla and trying to figure out the best/easiest way to do it.

I called a local certifier, Ken Mcadam, about it and he doesn't think that welded suspension can be certified but welded from factory can be, ie bc gold spindle type.

Does anyone know if the spindle type will be a straight forward bolt up? Or what other parts will I need to change/modify to do this?

Cheers.

What width are the wheels? 

Bikes pretty much done. Just needs stickers put on and metal pedals, have plastic at the moment. Could do with the chrome redone but I'm not going to bother.

Went out for a 4 hour bike ride last night, felt nice to ride, although my ass would disagree.

I think i've heard that MX73 coilovers will fit? BC make a kit for them.

Only problem is, good luck getting them certified at the moment. It seems to be pretty luck of the draw at the moment with getting coilovers certed that have needed welding.

Cheers, I'll txt the guy now and see if I can sort it. What's your number?

Hey all,

Im looking at buying this cressida, only problem is that the car is in Tauranga and im in Wellington so can't view before hand.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car, any damage/problems its got... Even better if someone could view the car for me?

I chucked it up in for sale, open to offers and swaps etc but not too keen on selling the wheels. Hoping for around $6500 otherwise I'll just keep it. I don't really have a reason for selling it other than my mate just got a 1UZ Cressida and I've fallen in love.

Something suitably big, a crown or Cressida or something similar

Cheers man, loved the van!

My one was previously blue (long before i got it). Still has minor specs of blue on it.
