  1. Sweet bro just sussed it, i forgot about toyodiy haha.. The ma61 celica supra which the t3 knuckles are based on are the same part numbers as the carina items, so i would say that they will work sweet as. Clearly the differences are in the actual strut body themselves and the knuckles are some what interchangeable. Now to rustle up some dollars, anyone think 50usd is a bit steep to send these here? i know i got a set of sidedraughts from america sent for less than that. Cheers Sam
  2. hey guys just need to know if there are any differences between a aa63 strut with vented brakes factory and ma60 struts, i know a lot of these strut types produce wack camber angles and just want to be sure before i consider getting these https://technotoytuning.com/toyota/ma60/steering-knuckles-ma60-supra Cheers Sam
  3. Lower to 10mm off the deck and install some shitty widened steels, roof racks and rusty panels for the O.S approval man haha, half the people on this site are into some wack shit, dont see anything wrong with mild lowering, nice alloys and an exhaust, they are areas most factory cars lack in anyway. i don't so much agree with the gillys either but hey each to there own and like you say easy enough to replace with factory pulleys. Cheers Sam
  4. After work today i finished off the diff conversion, i had to tighten up all the link arms at compression, and bleed the brakes i managed to get it all done in about 30 minutes in a rush as i had to get to a football game but i couldnt sort out my handbrake cables in time. i took it for a strop round the block when i got home afterwards and i was stoked as with the outcome, i now have good brakes all round and a solid diff in good condition. they lock up with ease and have really improved the overall feel of my car.
  5. On Sunday i got my car up in the air and ripped out the worn out S series factory rear end and replaced it with a te71 pre facelift t series disc brake rear end. I had it sandblasted, then sprayed on some por15 grey and replaced the axle seals a few months ago. It all went smoothly, i borrowed my flat mates snap on/bluepoint tools, made the job a lot easier! i got the te71 gt diff into the car and had it to the final stages only needing final bolt torquing on the link arms, panhard rod and shock absorbers, and installation of the handbrake cables before i had to call it a night.
  6. I have finally started my build on the 27th of october after a spending most of the year collecting parts and not really doing much work on the car. First mission is to get the car to WOF standard. I fitted the ae86 front brake package i got a week or so ago. was very happy with the condition of the parts and loved the bolt in and go factory upgrade, i also replaced the hub covers with brand new items i got off ebay. After i fitted the brakes, i put some 14x7's on the front and pumped up the rear 14x6 wheels, and took the car for a strop around the block. It was the first time i had driven the car in around 3 to 4 months, needless to say i forgot how much fun these cars are! i had to get off the road before i got to carried away haha. After this i packed up for the day, but i was to hyped and i had to go back out to the garage. i took all my new lights and lenses out of there packages. mint redline tail lights, mint facelift clear indicators and brand new corner lights. and fitted them up. The car is really starting too look good and i am steadily building motivation.
  7. yeah shes pretty rugged but only got like 65000ks on the clock, i was gonna fix her up but had better things to spend my time on
