Bought this off Kingpin last week, so far pretty happy with it... but has a few little issues to sort out.

... It's not quite this slammed yet...

It's gonna get these for the mean time, cleaned up and painted to suit:

Then lower it, working out what springs will go in it ATM. As you can see in the general thread, Kingpin had some issues trying to find the right springs... But I'll sort this out by catalogue searching or getting spares to chop .

Main duty:

Comments? Should it be in other projects cause it's from 1992? .

Heyboe!

Sorry I didn't txt back the other day, was busy I guess .

Will be at the next one for sure! Might even be on time this time........................ new car to show as well.

SS2000 is having an AGM soon so could be worthwhile to point out for a possible change?

BMW Valvetronic setup is really interesting. The shape of the intake port in this vid is interesting as well.

fill those big stupid ports. just got the "tinyport 4age" going. first impressions untuned, goes damn well.

Awesome! Was looking forward to seeing how that turned out.

Pretty cool seeing them run at Bathurst etc.

Also a rumour from SS2000 forums:

I can confirm that there is one BTCC booked in for next season. heard a rumour of 2 more.

..... Keen ....

That 21 looks sweet, they look pretty normal without all the chopping but beat most commy cars... Lucky it's got BMW running gear for reliability. Looks like an open diff though .

Bush and Putin in a Volga... They must be sweet:

Also:

Have you looked inside the can to see if it's holding any cream or water? Had this happen when running in an engine once and the vapour turned into a water/oil mix inside the small catch tank I had. Mine made visible vapour like you're describing but it also overheated = epic fuckout.

Nah steelies are average on the track man, way too much unsprung weight and no heat dissipation.... it hurts to touch them after a session on the track .

I remember Gaz saying he investigated outer rims at Batmen a while ago? Was a reasonable price to spin them up. Also apparently Howatt engineering in wellington do alloy outer bands for some of the 4WD boys, spin them up to suit etc so you could try them, ask for Brian.

And I think someone on here has done the conversion from 1 - 2 piece with a set of Superlight/watanabe style rims... was it Cute wee gem?

Edit: Was slidenyo

Sounds like you're on the right track.

Just do the basics to make the carbs work - bit more compression, cam etc.

Not sure about specifics of valvetrain etc... Maybe go and ask on clubk?

cool just ordered 20 dvd's of btcc seasons, be keen to do the mass oldschool copy session.

mint! Which seasons?

When you say it's slipping through the gears are you sure you have the gear selector in the right place? They are a pretty crude old setup and you have to have it in the right spot for it to engage properly. It did it when i drove it but just had to find that sweet spot.

So this if your your corona?

Go for either steel or alloy sleeves, doesn't make too much difference in the end. Get the thread (if steel) or perch (if alloy) TIG welded on for strength.

Choose shocks, those struts are pretty similar to AE86 so you should be able to use AE92 front shocks, which are shorter and have a shorter stroke then any corona replacements you would buy.

Decide on what length you want the strut to be and where the thread will come up to, cut and shut to suit. You could make the strut the same height as the shorter AE92 shock but it would be pretty slammed if you did that, so choose where you want it to sit, cut to suit and then use a spacer under the shock to make it sit in the right place.

Choose your spring rate and length at the same as doing the thread to make sure they will be captive. 200 or 250mm springs are the go.

I thought this was going to be a "Summer cruiser"?.

Will be awesome, bring it to the next OS trackday please .

toyota = 3sge

ford/mazda = what ever it is v6

honda= H22A - De stroked to 2L (?)

volvo = ???

audi = ???

vaxhaul = XE 2l Twincam

pug = ????

renault = ???

Look forward to seeing it around Palmy again... Pretty sure you must be sick of sharing that Golf by now?

F20C into FWD would be interesting, wonder if it's been done before.

Pretty sure the Ant Te Rito that has the CRX delsol in SS2000 runs an F20c, and I think the car was built by Mr Strong originally - provided I remembered the conversation right.

Yeah, the going rate for an F20C is about the same as a well prepared race engine of other varieties, but is also has similar power to a well built 2L as well. So you get a fast motor with the option of making it faster later on. The cheapest I've seen a conversion go for lately was $10k, and an f20c motor and box would set you back about the same.

it'd be interesting to see the head layout of an F20c, a cross section of ports and view of valve angles to compare to the others posted in this thread.

Awesome, where do you get them from? I have no idea what/where segedins is .

How the fuck does that mean fire ban?

Haha uni comes second sometimes... I'm in the same boat.

Lots of the newer machines that come out use a perspex window and have replaceable tear-off type covers on them. Duraseal might no do too much but a decent weighted clear film works sweet, just use double sided tape to hold it onto the perspex/glass.

Compressor is the killer. You will want 10cfm (Free air delivery not Max cfm) at an absolute minimum and if you are going to be using it pretty often then belt drive is a must to prevent motor burnout.

$1000ish for an ok compressor that will do it (13ish cfm belt drive)

Should be pretty easy to make the unit though really, design your cab and build it, get some gloves from a Machinery supplier, basic han piece from a machinery supplier and you are away.

Not going to comment too much cause I've already learnt more than I know but:

When the intake valve is closed, there's no flow through it.

When it opens, there is.

Why does it matter what the flow is when the valve is closed? No more air/fuel is going to make it into the engine.

Also in my experience smaller ports have been proven to work better, and I believe that velocity of air, as well as tumble and swirl are the most important characteristics of a good port.

I'm going to go browse Toyspeed for a while to find the million talks about helmholtz

Not sure if these have been posted yet, but I can't be bothered posting and the sound is awesome anyway .
