If i did flares, i think i would need to just up to 15"s which im not keen on. This is pretty much the plan in a nutshell

A company called Spun by Hutty did them. He does all the ones on trade me. It cost exactly the same

more low is pretty much top of the list. The front shocks have stuff all travel so i need to find a shorter shock and shorten the tube

So what does everyone think? What should i do next. Im open to ideas

With last Saturdays gymkhana coming up with the CJC guys, A few of the boys (Cam, Chris, Ned, Ed and Richy) and I stuck in a couple of long nights and got it fired up on the Thursday night. Pieced the rest of it together on the friday night and took it for its first drive. WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT FLYWHEEL MAKES!!! So we made it to the Khana no problems and everything went well. Well everything we changed did anyway. So next on the list is the bunch of things that went wrong on the day but thats all 15min jobs like the fan belt and speedo cable I have to install these aswell

Before the new engine went in, i decided to make the RWD water lines as i refuse to pay 100s of $$$ for a kit out of Aussie. About $50 later, i had this for the thermostat side And once the engine was in, i sorted the other side It was then just a matter of hooking up all the fuel and heater lines, and installing bits a pieces like my 1g starter and adapter. I also got hold of a Link G1 V5 for cheap so that made its way in (cheers Stephan). So easy to wire in!!

Now with the all important Slam done (well probably not quite finished yet as it needs more low), the next task was to replace the Smallport 4age that was using quite i bit more oil than your average 4age. I still wanted to do a 20v conversion so i kept the Blacktop from project TE71 and decided to install in here but with a few extra goodies Now when i was doing the normal seals and gaskets on the 20v, i noticed the block was from a Silvertop so off came the sump and it was confirmed that the rods with silvertop aswell. This is a good thing as they are quite a bit larger. My main problem was that i didnt know if the pistons had been swapped aswell. It was decided that i needed to whip the head off to see and yup, silvertop pistons, this is not ideal (perfect for turbo though). To bring the compression back up to 10.5:1, a TRD head gasket was installed I then pieced the engine back togeather and let it sit for a bit while i saved some money for my trip to Japan. While in Japan, i picked up this TODA flywheel which weighs 3.7kg. Perfect for a N/A build Once i was back from Japan, it was all back on and the old engine was pulled out (cheers for the hand Chris)

So the annual Nats meet down in Palmy in the middle of April and i decided i couldnt turn up in a 4x4 Celica. Slam and wheels were next on the list I kept the D2s from the TE71 project as both the cars had 51mm front struts and the rear struts bolt into these IRS cars and give them extra slam. Good old Toyota lego The threaded tubes were cut from the AE86/TE71 struts and slid over the Celica struts. By pure luck, the D2 inserts happened to be the perfect length for the struts and just required a small spacer to pack them up (excuse the shit photo, stupid old phone) And the rears just required the springs to be removed and Sierra Wagon springs installed I then borrowed my Kelvins 14x8.5 SSR Mk1s and 14x8 SSR Mk2s for the trip down. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

That TE71 i got from Mark/AE25 was going to cost far to much just turn into a drift hack so the project stalled and interest was lost It was at the end of November last year that i got wind of a AA63 celica aka "stargazer" that Vivaspeed/Geoff in welly was keen to get rid off. I emailed him, info was exchanged and these were some of the photos he sent me He wasnt in a huge rush to sell but the price was good so i started stripping and selling the TE71 of the bits i didnt need while he worked on getting a WOF for the car so i could drive it back to Auckland So at the beginning of February i got a ride down to Wellington with Richy/Snoozin on the friday night and drove the Celica back on the saturday afternoon Once i got the car back, i did a few things straight away that bugged me like having the incorrect corner lights, throttle cable being far to long and i put in the spare LSD diff that came with the pile of spare parts Discussion - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/39655-ryans-aa63-discussion/

They are work equip 02s

Your thread gives me a sore neck

Get a whole new car to fit the diff

The other front wont just bolt on, You need to change quite a bit as this front is quite a bit longer

ive got this sorted now, cheers FYI, heres a sweet thread with heaps of DXF and DWG files for toyota and nissan flanges http://www.streetracing.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4819

Looking for a CAD file for blacktop ITB trumpet flanges. Ive found one that makes all 4 out of 1 piece but i want to make 4 seperate ones

Im looking forward to the next installment where (spoiler alert!!) they remove that lump of cast iron and replace it with a 1uz

Infact, i saw some reds for $900 on Facebook the other day, ill see if he still has them

The later model ke70s have the same struts as ae86

FYI, brand new mid-sump JZ set ups from Toyota arnt to badly priced i last heard

Last time i looked, i dont think TEIN had height ajustable bottoms? Maybe other models TEINS do though. BCs work, especially the Red series as they have a 51mm ID on the threaded tube bit so they slide over the ke70 struts perfectly. The gold series S13 stuff went up to 55mm or something so a small sleeve is required

it wont work, pump is on the other side in a twin cam

Wouldnt that parts car been a better shell to use?

I always use to apply the "hit it at speed" technique and it only failed me on a few speed humps

Ive only heard bad things about the s13 gear, I know Brendon Dunker has pulled quite a few out and swapped back in the ae86/ke70 stuff. maybe try ask him personally about it You can weld most s13 coilovers onto the existing ke70 struts in the front and the back is just a matter of removing the springs from the shocks and changing the bottom bush

This is a common fault when doing a 1gge into a gx61. Dont ask me how to fix it though lol
