this is what im doin also, got 20v blacktop motor ecu etc and stickin in escky panelvan, and im using silvertop rods and some 4agze pistons so can go turbo

Why are you putting silvertop rods in it? Black top and Silvertop rods should be the same...

If you wanna put a 4age in an eskie it doesnt matter how much work it takes coz youd want a 4age eskie. If you just want a 4age, buy a car with one standard

.

the blacktop rods are weaker than slivertop and the others 4ages

yeh i already have a factory 4age AE82 fxgt and im puttin the blacktop in cuz it came from my other ae82

bro that thing is mean, i want to go that low but driveway wont allow it

i assume the rear has resets but whats the front

iv got some cobra supalows im goin to use and get the leaves reset 2.5in and then some 1.5 in blocks so can change the height with out much hassle

this is what im doin also, got 20v blacktop motor ecu etc and stickin in escky panelvan, and im using silvertop rods and some 4agze pistons so can go turbo

sorry to burst your bubble but the 2 p/v on TM that iv seen go for more than 4gs where emaculate

duno think same 1 as anglias hard or soething

the 4.4 is jus tha diff ratio it has, thers also 4.1 3.75 and 3.5 that iv heard of

hey guys update after takin all the things into consideration, (things i hadnt reliabilty for starters) im gona convert the esky to run the efi

cheers guys

yeh i know the fuel bit is piss easy but its the wiring up of the ecu and other little fiddly bits that are makeing me think sidies

yes i realise they have quad throttle bodies but theres a lot more work involved in converting the esky to run efi

my mechainc has called in a few favours and has got cheaper prices than that

so do ur homework first mate!

well its all ready got a 1600 kent from a mk2 tina sport, but i want the reliability of a newer toyota motor but oldskool looks, and i got the levin running gear for 500 buks, but im selling parts from the donor car so the motor is gona b a freebie basically

ok was gona drop it in my ae82 cuz thought the bluetop was rooted but was jus a blockd pressure pipe

so now hav a 20v blacktop 4age and thought hey y not drop it in the panelvan, so now jus gotta source i think a T50 gb, im thnking of using the 4.4 diff thats already in there( i only care bout mean acceleration screw top end) or how hard to find and fit a hilux diff, arent they lsd

im gona ditch hte injection system so dnt hav to change fuel pump etc and jus gona run some siddies get some race cams for a nice lumpy idle and that shud b all of my money gone

thats a mean paint job bro , but y are u doing standard height king springs, i dont c the point

on the lvv cert page all that is said about wheels is that cant stick out past body and tyre size can not hav more than 5% increase in rollin circumferance

just chuck sum old rims on or borrow sum or woteva 4 the cert and wen its dun put them bac on? easy as fuc

Doesn't work, you are not allowed to change from the wheels your car is certed with without paying out to get the car re-certed. Cars have been stickered for this by the cops.

wat how many ppl do u c in done up cars running around on factory rims so y wud cops pink/green sticker cars but im not sure on the cert tho

yeh next year ill have the panelvan there

hus organising it, they shud ut their mobile no. on here so if ppl r comin get them to txt by lik 7 pm or osmethign so know how many ppl will b there, im gona roll up in the 85 fxgt i knows its not oldskool but the esky aint gona be ready till bout term 2 holidays, i just wanna c ur cars, ill probably be givin corrupt a lift as well

and is there any differnce in how they are fitted

i wud lik to get some adjustble coil overs in front of my esky panel van, but wat is the difference betwen them and adjustable normal shocks, i have not idea

yeh will hopefully get some pics up on the weekend hopefully hav the superlows installed up front as well

lik want to do most of the work myself or for him to show me, i tried to do the stuff on my fxgt, but most is to technical , lik i can do the brakes on the fx ,shocks, oil filter but nethign else i dont want to touch but i wud lik to know how to redo the drum brakes and other things on the old escort, good for learning

is that what he charges for him to fit the windscreen? or for some one to come?

nah some 1 to come and do it[/i]

yeh my mechainc pulled a few strings and got a drive shaft price of $200 and $45 for the clutch plate

im wantin to fit a sierra 5sp in it that i have wat else is need to link up to motor. i know its not as traight bolt up lik withthe 2lt

do i need to use the sierra clucth or fly wheel etc

hey finally gettin started on the panelvan rusted out floor shud b finished in couple of weeks. got a 1600 gt motor out of mk cortina. i got a sierra 5sp but wat else is need to fit in clutch flywheel etc? i found some superlow springs fo r the front and a mate is goin to sack the rear. its a proper panel van, so no gay side windows wat colour shud i paint it, dont want white they look cheap and gay, dont want red bcuz it expensive and hav to always look after it, was think bright but deep yellow(not gay lik some jappas where u can c thru them almost) with a mat blac bonnet any other suggestions want it to stand out, but not pink
