i havnt seen first hand but the manager at my work pit crews for a trans-am, they got the headers ceramic coated, aparantly the difference was night and day, dropped exhaust mani temp by like 500 degrees. it is very expensive tho. ill be doing my mani, exhaust housing and dump pipe once i upgrade.

FT would work a treat or take the Z10 haha

facelift?

may have been said, but less weight = go faster. S30 win old cars all day

seeing as im a grinch it must time for a update. A framed the car from surfab to the paint shop with my work van....dont tell gary lol dorpped off at KUSTOMS INC so cory can work his magic, will hopefully be done before i move to aus on the 12-13th

more awesome work by the SURFAB boys, infact fab work is about done, will hopefully beat KUSTOMS INC tomorro for some new paint action Dash bar, cage to front struts & mount for wilwood pedal box sorted Firewall holes filled turret bars Boot panel I under-sealed the new boot floor & the front guards

Simon and Dan at SURFAB have welded in dreams dash bar only tacked in as i needed to confirm wheel height, will be about 40mm higher front rear and side windows out for paint cheers to Bakey

meh, its a 82 corolla, it had about 6 spot welds and urethane holding it together before hand so anything is begonna an improvement. The welder was set to like 11 million so its all got good penetration, and as dan said the cage will be tied into the front struts, shell be right......hopefully =)

been playing at the SURFAB fantasy factory today after work. Did some seam welding, now about 90% of the front of the car is done, and about 50% of my arms are burnt to shit decided to weld the strut bar mount doofers to the car as the std holes had been slogged to buggery "Clearanced" the inner guard with a gas torch, big hammer and the power of Simon

sicko will be round after taiffic dies tonight!!

spent a hour or so getting the remaining sound deadening glue out with a wire wheel today, WAY easier that pissing about with petrol etc pretty empty now

either super bright yellow or chocolate brown i think, prob same dark grey as jacksons s14 the inside

evidently the thing to do once you put up a build thread is put up a yarn thread..... YARN AWAY!!!

started ripping the wiring/everything out. what a CUNT of a job..

discussion thread viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30651 thought i should finally put up a build thread just before i move to aus and dont touch the car for ages brought it in '08 running a 4age, k50, d2s, s series locker and a link making 88whp then eventually over the coarse of the next three years it turned into this was running a 4agte w55 hilux diff, trd/ koni, rose joints/ adjustable everywhere 230 whp. till about 3 weeks ago. I then decided to completely strip it just 6 weeks before i move to aussie for god knows how long, but in the 6 weeks before i go she will be undergoing some major changes, so this thread will be about the car from now on. She is going to visit my good buddies Simon and Dan (nothingsfree) aka SURFAB on monday for some mad fab shit then off for a P&P in and out then hiffed in the shed will take progress pics as it comes along

but a 7m will fuck out every time. would WAY rather a NA 2j over any M series

nothing is ever as cheap as you think. spend a little bit extra and hiff the anchor and go JZ

there is a sweet model on BC that is inverted and had external oil resivours so can adjust bound and rebound they are about 2k tho, my 70 will be getting them shortly ish pisc arent of the proper struts as they have the stub etc but they look the biz http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BC-Racing-Ad ... 097wt_1185

^^^ hahaa less than 3k what a crock of shit, nothing is ever as easy as it appears to be with engine swaps, EVER. and look at "a" series K50 prices on TM not cheap anymore. i think of you could do a drive in drive out swap for sub 3k inc cert you would def deserve a crate of DB.

get a more economical car / more self control / man the fuck up....

This, or im pretty sure KW do bolt in rails for ae86, which will be the same as a ke70, then def will have no issues

there is a open drift day at ruapuna tomorro from 10 till 3, $50 entry no cage required need wof tho

yarn about bundy tube..... edit: was thinking fuel lines, my bad

cant have any part of the fuel system in the "cabin" part of the car for msnz use, i dont know where the rule is but thats always been the case when iv been scrutineered. in the boot with sheets of some material between the "cabin" and the boot is sweet as tho. chop the spare wheel well out, weld in a flat sheet, make a tank thats the required size in any spor under there you want. sorted

do they do a bolt/weld in panhard/watts link kit?? fuck thats sweet if they do
