don't come up for sale very often

Do you know if the motor parts on these 2 are interchangable?

Awesome night guys. I'm still full from all those ribs! Epic

Can someone with a bit more time/effort/know how buy this and make an epic vintage velo with it!

tits. reckon you can get it rollin for dromageddon nov 10th?

Very unlikely. Have to get welder going first

11.5hp ~ 3600rpm, horizontal shaft and electric start supposedly.

It reckons horizontal shaft.

Just put a bid in on a ride on mower motor. Chances are its way too big but fuck it ill make it work

I've got a large black one and a large white one I could flick you if either of those are what you want.

That is exactly what I want. Ill grab them both if that's ok.

I've got a db reading to do before hand at abtec but should be well over with by 7pm.

Ill be rolling in the white ms65 crown so hit me up otherwise I have no idea who most of you are

Steelies I need to discuss velo racers with you! Very keen to cause my self unintentional tattooage.

Matt.

I know this is a long shot but anyone get the stickers off kk? I forgot to grab some last month.

See evryone thurday!

i noticed you have some power steering stuff there. what is that out of? And have you mounted it up yet?

Bump. Anybody?

Unless im missing something, this post is in the lower north island region. Taurangas about 1.5hours from auckland......

Just saying?

^ what he said. I got my sedan for 3500 with a lot of work done to get it up to wof standard and VERY little rust. The interiors mint and it came with a ghetto ass sunvisor. Plus the dude met me half way.

The only others I can think of would be the brown one in naenae which looks like it was bought new and never had a thing done to it, its got a big dent in front guard and the guy that owns it is well past retirement. And there's one sitting in a carport type thing in the belmont hills. From what I can see it looks really tidy. I was intending to have a chat with the guy about it and see if it was for sale but my one came up before I had the chance. I think its a goldy green colour.

He had a facelift white one which he poured bog into, pianted then chucked on trade me and if I have my story right the guy that bought it is down south, blew up the 4m and has half finished a 5mge conversion and had it on trade me around the time I got mine. I think the 1j one is black from memory. Also facelift I think :s and he aparently has a stack of parts. But can't remember his name!

maybe its just that with his one have a jz and it being one of about 4 I know of down here including mine I'm misleading myself a little haha.

One of the dudes up the road from my work has 1jzt powered one as well.

After all I have seen the gt4 3sgte in many rwd conversions.

ill have a look tonight again but I'm fairly sure there was holes available that would work with custom made mounts.

The drag reference was purely to not doing skids/launches on sticky tyres. Does your 3S even have the mounting points on the block for RWD? you will need custom sump/intake & exhaust manifolds, dizzy and water gear will be in the firewall possibly. Then you need to address the head oil drain when you stand the engine up. Get a 2jz

yes mounts are sweet, not sure if I need custom sump yet but if I do that's easy, intake manifold and exhaust manifold will be sweet to make. Good project. Dizzy will be replaced with wasted spark setup, probably have to re run a water line I think which runs to the turbo. Im not standing it up so don't have to worry about head.

Yay another 2jz lets be like everyone else. I realise they're good motors but why not make use of what I have already?

Ok, naturally id prefer lsd though. I imagine the dedicated drag cars are running lockers?

Yeah I'm thinking ill just get it up and running then look at upgrades. Was more concerned about blowing the diff on the first drive. I'm going to do the conversion after summer. I'm not a huge skid person any more but I'm sure ill light it up every now and then when circumstances permit.

Sweet, cheers man.

Ok beer with me as this is probably gonna sound very strange but this is the plan I've settled on.

I have a 1990 celica which I poured a ton of money into and now I want to sell it. Thing is I had the motor rebuit 2000k ago at the cost of 7k. Everythings new, oil pump, pistons, bored, honed, rebuilt head, decked block, steel head gasket, race bearings, adj cam gears etc. At the moment its running factory power but built to handle 350rwhp. So I'm gonna swap it with a cheap second handy and fit the 3sgte into the crown with a link and new turbo injectors etc. Aiming to get that 350. Considering the crowns the same weight or lighter than the celica it should go quite well and this way I'm not loosing a shit ton of money on the celica.

As stated, roughly what sort of power figures can you throw at a factory ms65 diff (assuming its in good condition) and what sort of upgrades have been done easily. I would like to upgrade to a disc rear end with a wider track, around 20mm each side would be ideal.

Slight change in plans so we can get some pics - Meet at the Lyall Bay surf carpark at the end of Cochrane St at 7pm

BWARP will take some pics of us hooning through the Lady Di tunnel under the airport and then we'll all head to the Strathmore Local again for feeds and pool.
