  1. New render of what i am hoping for... Fingers Crossed!
  2. Pulled all the trailing arms and stuff of the diff today, hopeing to use some cressida discs on it to get the 4x114.3 and get the axels re drilled. Also made the first mockup for the itb manifold and fitted,
  3. Yea the irs in the rear. Gives amazing camber. Not really much happening with it, just driving it all over the country. I think I must be sinking lower on the chopped springs as speed bumps are leaving some big scrapes underneath now. That or I'm finding taller speedbumps. Front spoiler should be nearly finished. Just waiting for the fibreglasser to drop it off.
  4. picked up my new diff finally. 1400mm wide, 10mm narrower than the standard corolla(More Dish ). Way beefier and should be able to drop a locker in there. My new silver top quads also turned up also thanks to fliboi. Now to make some cast manifolds.
  5. was going to use Howat engineering or Juniors Kustoms in wieelington, both around $80 per wheel. Whats the place in Wanganui? do they do a good job?
  6. so decided to go with the link computer, invest for the future instead of trying to get the original ecu working. Decided to go with some independent throttle bodies. Got some silvertop itb's thanks to Fliboi. My Personal Pattern Maker (father) is keen to make some Beams to 4age itb manifolds out of cast aluminum. this will also allow more room for the clutch master cylinder, and the brake master, not that it really needs it.
  7. Won't be doing skids in this one (well not often) so Dosnt have to be bulletproof. Just a reliable daily that can fly past others on the open road. Really just asking as have heard of guys around palmy snapping axels frequently with there jz turbos. Cheers guys
  8. sweet thanks and yes NZ new. do they have a tag on the diff or something? never noticed one before, Really keen to keep it as its so nice to drive, but have noticed the diff has been a little loose lately, but hopefully its nothing a altezza lsd cant fix.
  9. Looking at drooping a 1uzfe auto or a 2jzge auto in the 1985 cressida when the corolla is road legal. But not to sure if it is worth doing as the diffs are so weak? On the chassis plate on the firewall it says "6/5" under the driveline section. but nothing specifically about diffs. Have tried to do some research but nothing seems to make sense. So, what are the chances it has a f series independent rear? and if it does how strong it it up against a 1uzfe auto highway cruiser?? Anybody know ?? Thanks
  10. Maybe one day it will be lucky enough to get some decent wheels. Only problem is any decent wheels I buy wil be going on the corolla lol. Cheers though
  11. Pattern for the spoiler is pretty much done, and hopefully off to the fiberglass's tomorrow. Then fit it asap and see how long it takes before i wipe it off :/ Other future plans is to 1uzfe it when the corolla is able to be used as a daily. Lower and certify then smaller tyres... one day
  12. Wow, never even heard of these before, but that is so dam cool
  13. Cheers Guys, Am using Hue at Feilding Electrical and hes done older 3sge and 1uz before so will see how he goes.
  14. cheers man, thats what i want to hear, same here i have no skills with electricity what so ever.
  15. Got some dry ice (after convincing Boc that I wasn't making bombs) and did the old freeze and bash out the sound deadening, worked a treat. Purchased a aluminum Evo 6 radiator that will hopefully fit tomorrow Also talked to the auto electrician and there is doubt that the Altezza ecu will be able to be wired up to run the engine with out the dash cluster etc etc. so may need a link g4? And if I go that way and spend that much will be going with itb's, argh. Anyone know of any beams 3sge conversions that have worked with factory ecu? Cheers
  16. Keen to see if the s13 subframe fits without cutting into the rear seat/floor Good luck
  17. Na this ones just a helix style lsd? (hopefully loose enough to get a cert with) Not sure if im keen on spending that extra on a air or elocker, when im not 100% sure its going to work.
  18. Cheers. Haven't seen the diff out of the Volvo yet so not sure how heavy it is. Waiting for the wrecker to grab one out. and yea they are supposedly 27 spline the same as the jeeps. Hopefully it's lighter than the hilux I am trying to avoid.
  19. Hey guys, I think i have decided upon a volvo dana 30 diff for the ke70, and considering getting one of these eaton lockers: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTL-912A588/ Cool little video; lZmsY2YvVsc Before i go ahead, anybody have any opinions? ideas? how this may go so terribly wrong? Will be mainly a street car, with the altezza engine powering it as seen in my build thread Cheers
  20. Spent the day trying to fill in the gearbox tunnel/floor. also think i may have sorted a diff, looking at a dana 30 out of a volvo, its the exact width needed, has big discs, and best of all apparently it can take one of these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTL-912A585/ Or even a air locker which could be fun.
  21. visted every wrecker i passed in palmy today, hunting out a but nothing what so ever. Ended up at a volvo wrecker down in the ashhurst and measured up a rear diff of sum of the older ones and got about 1390-1430 so pretty dam perfect. No lsd's in stock though.
  22. lmao um cheers Chees, Gotta love the poor mans ae86
  23. Cheers oftensideways, that spoiler looks mean on the ke30! cant wait to see it in person somewhere. And thanks Truenotch, sounds great, will see what i can do.
