  1. yea what he said and....

    driveshafts depends on what replica rx3 crossmember you use some mount them slightly further back so need a little shortening and also require some massaging of the firewall for the clutch fork/slave rod

    if u get the proper xmember then everything fits perfect driveshaft etc and gearstick lines up in the factory hole

    use 323 gearbox crossmember with a flat plate as an adaptor to bolt to the s1 gearbox just needs 4 holes in it

    s1 rx7 extractors can fit but require a bit of heating and tapping to clear the steering box

    rx3/rx7 radiators fit pretty easily,rx7 ones end up having the oil cooler pretty low if you want to mount it under there in the factory location tho,(can al,ways tuck it up behind the grill) theres some cheap alloy rx3 ones i trademe i think which fit better

    wiring is pieice of piss for anyone who knows what there doing (not me hahah) think ya only need to change bout 3 or 4 wires

    there the same chassis as a rx3 from strut towers forward

  2. ok so wanting to get some steels for my mitsi to get it rolling and maybe widen later for drag rims

    closest i can find in a 15 is 66.1 to my 67.1

    die grinder? any other less dodge options?

    Fitter turner / anyone with a lathe big enough to hold the rim will just machine some out.

    yea thats the obvious way, but elite told me not possible( however at the time the steel i had was a much smaller centre bore so there would have been no ring left, not keen on the roughly $50 a wheel it would cost tho

    yea cheap sigma steels is the go if i can find some cheap enough, as it doesnt really give me the option of using them for drag rims later

  3. yea 14s min due to brakes but i really need to go bigger

    ground clearance and minimum room upfront plus the new stretching rules etc mean anything small is going to look tryhard

    im thinking maybe something like this hahah

    with the coilovers and getting camber plates hoping maybe squeeze a 7.5 up front but my 7s were pretty flush

  4. ok so im slowly getting back into this

    have picked up an new shell and starting to switch some stuff in and the old one is probly the size of a box of beers now

    im after some help on colour and wheel choice

    im swaying towards red or white at the moment, more so red, just the brightest flatest one

    was going to paint my old wheels white but they seem rather bent, so may not be economical to use them so after other ideas, bearing in mind anything wider than a 7 isnt going to fit under the front really

    im open to any ideas

    o and if anyone is after ex parts ask, mainly suspension and interior

  5. ok so wen my car went upside down it snapped the cam gear off so i was worried about the valves getting all bent outta shape, its a 4g63t so is an interferance motor

    have taken the head off and there appears to be no visible witness marks on either the valves or the pistons

    have also rotated the cams over checking each cylinder individually by shining a torch down the ports and there is no light "leakage" from any of the valves

    is it safe to say i got really lucky and no valves got damaged?

    or do i need to get more indepth testing done?

  6. aaahhhhh, so , it's quieter with less plates, as long as you have the END PLATE on there.

    that's the bit I was struggling with. i was like, how can it be quiet with nothing on there. but I didn't factor in the end plate.

    yea always have to have the end plate

    the end of them is flared so more plates spaces the rear plate (as opposed to the discs) further back allow effectively making the end opening to be larger as well as allowing gas to escaped between the plates , the less plates you have in there the closer down the end plate is and thus the narrower the exit of the exhuast is

  7. further more, why does it have to be a toyota diff? what's wrong with an L200 LSD diff? they're plenty strong too. The ramps in Hilux LSDs are useless anyway, most of them one wheel spin at times

    i thought all 6 stud diffs were a prick to use?

    thats why you use 5 stud axels from the hiluxs cos otherwise the centre bore is massive, and to turn it down so any sort of wheel fits on you end up with nothing
