I thought I might update this...
So the car got pink stickered around august 2014, for the guards rubbing into the rear tyres... So its pretty much been sitting around since then.
I've managed to go through a few different setups for it, including a 20V with SamQ rwd kit + coil on plugs, now a SR20DE on twin sidedrafts.
Basically, i've had the lower control arms cut and welded so I can get the camber somewhere towards the factory settings.
Wrecked a Ka67 carina wagon, which had a mint uncracked dash and a few other bits and pieces I used.
Wrecked a TA63 Celica hatch and notch, pilfered parts including the turbo front seats, the bigger front sway bar.
Removed the electric fender mirrors and sold to Nathan on here.
Had some springs made up for the rear end, hilux shocks modded and fitted.
Adjustable pan hard rod made up.
Full new exhaust.
Had a driveshaft loop made up,
Radiator mounts,
Engine mounts and gearbox crossmember and a driveshaft made up.
The SR20DE is out of a S14 with 40mm dellorto's which came out of a escort rally car, the carb's came with the ignition and fuel setup/ some groovy extractors.
I also bought a spoiler off of Sheepers months ago to try cut and lengthen as a basis.
I've also chucked on some BR's which are 15x9 -20 offset, and a 15x8 0 offset.
I've recently just bought some "wide body" rear flares which i'll also attempt to mod and make fit.
I'm hoping all this with the corolla bumper should make it look a tad tough, plus with dort dort dort noises shortly, it should be interesting...

Will speak to dad, I know his contract ends up at Massey High school this December.. He's an older bloke obviously, and he's been in the building game for 35+ years now...
Not sure if he'll suit you guys or not, but i'll forward you his number if that sounds sweet?

Its on the 30th at Juice, and at the Kings Arms...
Think its just a semi final as well... Apparently:

however with this......http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/gear-boxes/auction-797019446.htm
job done
Sam Q is making one, supposedly about a 1/3 of the price of that...
Theres also an Altezza in Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland. - trying to find link on Trademe.
$800 starting/ Reserve.
3SGE + J160 (its the flasher model Rs200 or whatever)
Running. Just dereg, and its a shell.
But i mean... rip out the 3sge and thats almost the entire thing paid for? Free box then?
Let alone if its got a LSD etc...
-
3SGE ones are worth bugger all.
I scored mine for $300 + a trip from Auckland to huntly, but in that I got:
Full pedal box,
Flywheel/ clutch,
Full driveshaft,
Low K's box,
Manual Dash,
Manual ECU,
Crossmember + Cylinders ( both of them were new )
And the Brake booster...

And I may have potential clearance problems with the bonnet, so that was one of the main reasons I was having a wonder about it... Will know shortly when it gets dropped in...
-
Could you look at one of those Alloy 1JZ-GTE manifolds on the tard and modify it to suit the 1G head? Cut'n'Shut along the runners?
Will have a look now.. Cheers
-
Hey, was wondering if changing the inlet on a intake manifold had any negative effects? For example I'm wanting to swap the inlet on a 1GGE to a front facing inlet rather than the factory option in the middle going across the head.
What happens to the air flow? Does it get affected badly somehow? Or would I be better off getting one built out of alloy or something?
And who in Auckland would you recommend to cut and weld it if it's not going to bugger up the air flow on a 6 cylinder?
Eventually some ground cams will make it in the 1g, so would that affect it somehow? I know people swap the inlets around on 4ages but I haven't found anything relating to it being better or worse..
Cheers

Only got a 20v blacktop 7age now boss.
-
What are 1G's like as a manual? ( Just bought one to throw into my Carina ) I've had one in a stupid ass auto Chaser - and I only drove it for a week before I swapped it for a B18CR integra... Which in my opinion was a whole heap more fun...
As a Manual do they have more get up and go? Or they still really underpowered type things.. Is the Turbo conversion worth doing? I'm use to quick and responsive 4age's and other 4 cylinders so havn't really got a clue what 2 more cylinders play out like...
-
Finally got a discussion, so discuss shit.
//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41817-fiends-aa60-carina-daily/?hl=aa60
I don't know what I really want from the car at the moment. Aside from a semi reliable daily. So will be getting cert when I get around to it and fix some rusty stuffs on it.
And the new motor.
And a few other bits and bobs.
Shout us your idea's and shit.

Looking a bit low at the moment :/ Got the rears sussed out. Got to 'relow' the front another 25mm so its even (95mm all around)
Not sure if I'm Gay Dee EM yet, but these should help:

So you could 9AGTE this? Mhmmmm...
I think there is some carib's or something that come out with all the 4wd 7afe's?...
-
Redrill the hub? Get new studs? An engineer should be able to do it for you easily enough? I don't know if its legal? Nor how safe it would be lol.
-
I'll come. If I can find a driver + put in shocks/ springs in rear + fit ducktale by sunday. There's another cruise thingie happening on Saturday too. But I thnik its going to end up being mostly the Honda/Silvia boys..

Always wonder why cars like this get nicked. No disrespect but its not really going to make the list on gone in 60seconds movie. Is it just a drunk cunt that dnt wana walk anymore. Or a crackie that can sort himself for a day if he plays swapsies with dodgy dave down the dark alley way?
Hope your man gets it back in 1 peice
Hey, nah thats sweet man. We were standing outside the drive where it was nicked thinking the exact same thing, wondering why the hell would anyone pinch it and the only reason we could think of was that it was incredibly tidy, some muppet got the munchies and wanted macca's or needed a lift home type of thing... Usually there's 4 or 5 of our cars out there, so its a tad safer, but he decided to be the GC and sober drive everyone that night to and from the flat...

Oh shit, hahaha forgot to put that up. Did on facebook though :/

Hey guys,
My mates car was nicked last night when we were drinking. Sometime between 11pm-7am this morning.
Its his only way around town, and he's a student so can't afford a new car.
Its a IMMACULATE NANA SPEC TOYOTA CORSA. That CYAN BLUE colour. Factory hub caps, nothing wrong with it at all. Auto, 106k's.
Was stolen outside Wendy's Te atatu, in West Auckland. 1A Jaemont Ave.
He's offered a reward leading to the car's recovery - isn't much cause he's a student. But yeah, hopefully someone will spot it around/ ditched somewhere.
021 029 62007 to txt Chris about the cars location etc.

Ae85/6 in the garage for sale? Hahahahhaha. I do like the twin headlights...
-
Awesome cheers. Cause of the amount of negative camber on my car ( most positive setting and its still quite visible ) I was thinking I was going to have to get a race license etc to drive it on the road - the intention in the long run is to do some fun days/ club days but nothing completely serious, hence why I asked haha
-
Small update:
Got the front coilovers in. Thats currently at its highest setting, and thats the most positive camber I can get :/
Rides like utter shit at the moment, re doing the rears - again as I had trouble with wheels fitting in the rear guards for wednesdays meet hopefully...
Pity I won't have my ducktale on it for then either
Oh and got me a nice red Sparco reclinable, just to match the outside. (The seat is old, dirty and worse for where so it matches the outside perfectly)
-
Going to try get someone to drive my carina. Its completely on its arse with silvia coilovers at the moment. Just need the rears done and the ae86 ducktail chucked on. Should be goooooood.

Hey guys,
I've had a quick google and havn't really found an answer.
Does anyone know if you need a roll cage to apply/ get a race license and get an authority card?
I've got a suspicion that you'll most likely need a rollcage to get one?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hey, I've had a quick search and havn't found anything. This will be the first time i'm going through the cert process. Its my daily so going to cert then eventually recert just so I can continue to daily it.
Plan is to chuck coilovers in it and slam it.
I was wondering if you pay for the cert and then they run the WoF process?
Do you have to get the WoF through the cert guy? ( as i've still got 4 months of WoF left ) so if I went and paid for the cert process, this would pretty much make my current and valid warrant obsolete?
Are the testing that the cert guys do real strict? Like VTNZ strict? Or is it much like the normal WoF guy?
I havn't really found much? I assume when they do the testing, they go over the entire car? Not just the coilovers or whatever you wanted to get certified?
Just say if my car fails on rust in guards or something like that, would I have to pay for the entire cert ($600) process again if I can't fix in it the 28days?
Sorry if this has been answered.
Cheers

bit of a bump...
//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41817-fiends-aa60-carina-daily/?hl=aa60
Got wiring left to go, general tidy up ( scrape off the stupid plastidip ) decide on a wheel colour and get powdercoated + start playing around with the fibreglass pieces and ae92 bumper.
Trying to decide on a colour to dye the TA63 celica seats as well either thinking grey or black to suit door cards..
