Will be interesting to see how it goes with an SC14. Should just fit a 6/71 and be done with it

No idea who the guy who picked me up was, but was super cautious with mine. Depends on the driver I guess!

Main difference is Corolla uses separate swaybar and castor arms, Starlet uses the swaybar for both.

+1. Dude came and picked me up at 3am from BP Otaki, was $190 to Upper Hutt. GC as driver too.

I made a set for Alistair for his Starlet a few years back, its a bit of cunting around but entirely doable. Finding someone who can do it might be tricky though, I learned the tricks when I was at Appco

^Sounds about right...early RN Hilux isn't it? Also if you buy that one we were talking about, you have to sell me your other one

Kinda my thoughts, bridgeport sorta rules out economy and low RPM drivability, so might as well go with max power option

Dem dreez

I may have missed it, but is there any reason you persevered with the 4 barrel vs an IDA?

I am disappoint. Spose its no K series after all.

The question remains though - did you do a hearty skid before stripping it to bits???

So sweet. I like those SQ bits, almost makes me entertain the thought of a 20V conversion

I don't know if thats in too far but I'd certainly not be keen to use the cam as a drift!

However you are, and this pleases me greatly Sexually

I am quite stoked you are doing the cam right off the bat. Looking forward to seeing this do lazy skids

Probably an idiot question, but if a vehicle is certed with 25mm spacers, and they were removed would it require a recert? I guess the real catch there would be that wheels may foul without them

Don't forget Pro 7 cars lose all the heavy turbo shit, which would throw factory balance out quite a bit.

From memory, talking to my neighbour, he said his is rear heavy. Tricky to add weight up front again!

Oh right, which one were you? car scene is small alright...

I think you underestimate my stubbornness Have yet to give up on my Corolla after 7 years

Yeah its probably worth looking into...I'm just a little risk adverse to spending money on an unknown motor, spend a weekend swapping them over, only to have to do it again in 6 months. Time is a pretty scarce commodity for me!

Haha yeah I bet....I think work could organise an engine build though Might be short term cheaper, but not necessarily the best...might fuck out after 500ks, I'd rather do it once and do it right Nah was the previous owner, who is a mechanic but not a rotary specialist. I don't really blame him though, the excessive boost is the most likely cause of failure Yup, but again, he's just a general mechanic/Tyre shop...it might/probably was poorly built but not likely the real cause of failure

Minimum one new housing....low cranking RPM on that front housing means its jamming, I guess a bit of seal is wedged between the rotor and housing. If I were to rebuild it I'd want to do it properly with a couple of new housings anyway. Shame Mazda don't have those crate motors cheap anymore!

Yeah I have a quote at work for all REW bits, comes to just shy of $7k all told, though thats with 2 rotors. I'm sure if I found a friendlier dealer it would get cheaper though. However, all pipe dreams really. Can't afford to do anything now, so just gonna put the reg on hold and forget I own it. Edit, or 10k can take it away

Depending what it cost to get here, Y50k is almost worth the risk though. Found one at Y65k which is again almost worth it Haha - people who want to put LS's into them generally don't want to pay much for them.... bring in enough of them, build one good from several, profit? I did do that many many years ago with 12A's from the Trade & Exchange....
