Surely front subframe would have to be removed anyway for manuelle swap? May as well buy so you have it there just in case?

Noice. front swaybar upgrade when you're doing the manual swap too?

Never heard of her Reckon the bilies are up for it or time for some coilovers/springs in the boot?

Looks like fun! What suspension does it have in it and did you get that rear sway bar installed yet?

Hey Bro, the celica is looking the goods! I'd definitely have a look at gearbox venting as could've possibly become blocked over time with schmutz etc? Other thought is, have you changed gear oil at all?

Good to see it's going to get some use again @Hemi!!! I agree with leaving the treefiddy in there, it moves that thing along just fine ay!

Late to the party as usual. Sounds like you've got it covered bro but if you need anything sorted let me know, can pack stuff up to ship if need be as we are always sending shit from work

Thanks for the info guys Now to find a TT140/TT142/TA61/TA63 crossmember!!! They are very rare over here is Aussie, would anyone know of any that might be for sale in NZ?? There is a guy wrecking a TT142 on trademe, have already hit him up but no luck!!

Hey guys, I am in the process of fitting a 3TGTE into an RA65 celica and was hoping to find a crossmember that would provide a bolt in solution. The engine still has the factory mounts, I read on an old forum that an SA60 crossmember worked but am hoping to get some confirmation prior to tracking one down There is also the TT142 crossmember, can anyone confirm if the corona version has same chassis/LCA mounts as celica?

Well Im glad somebody finally started a project thread on this cause Im bloody useless haha I will update the project thread with some more info etc. Thanks Hemi for taking all those pics!!! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/50359-camel-and-liams-51-chevy-gasser/

Yea bro grab a 44 gallon drum and we can cut it down and put some vent holes in it Man that guy must've clocked life the night before haha

Can you get a drum from work Liam? If not can grab one off gumtree or eBay

There will definitely be some king of the hill "yep" going on Yea if Spencer brings the camping gear he has we can do a mission to BCF etc. I am so amped for this/pooing my pants cause the gasser needs heeeaaaaaps of work to finish it haha

Yea that mustang motor certainly did flake, all through the radiator too. Yea gasser working bee will be much needed I'd say haha

haterz gon' hate

Mean. Good to see people keen!!! There will be plenty of room at mine for you early folk and we may well need some extra hands to get the gasser sorted haha

Im not sure if you can get it in NZ but in AUS there is a product called Morris Ankor Wax Its pretty sweet as can just rub it on with a rag and leave it for a matt finish or polish it for more shine. Lots of VW guys use it for their patina.

Rack & pinion conversion??

Yep is a good time for sure. There are a lot of aussie car events that just get blown with smelly holdens and fords but this one is legit. Lots of model As, gassers, bikes, all that sort of shit and doing the dirt drags, good fun!

Hi Guys, Thought I should make you aware of this car event which is held in Newstead VIC (about 1.5 hours from Melbourne) at the start of October If you ever went to Kumeu before it became too big it reminds me of that. Not a lot of rules apart from what vehicles can enter (pre 65, no billet/trailer queens) Can take booze in, start fires, do burnouts, they have a dirt drag strip etc etc. More details are in the below link, get amongst. http://www.chopped.com.au/ Pic from last years setup, cant wait!!!

Nice work bro Air ride will sort tyre/ground clearance issues

I still reckon bomb it in that green primer bro No vents as KK said it works better with the chop I vote anything but chebby orange. Black engine and black engine bay offset with that green/grey primer will look schmick spiro

Is there a specific type of plastic to use for the holding tank? Would be pretty keen to do this on a smaller scale

Yea that 59 wags was suuper clean, was heaps jealous. Front rides mint as, rear is air over leaf which rides fine just cant run low pressure or gets too soft/bouncy etc.
