  1. Discussion thread: G'day team OS, Owning an E30 in my youth meant we made terrible mistakes in usernames, but now getting close to being thirty, I guess its kinda fitting. Maybe, just make better choices when choosing usernames. Anyways.... We thought it was a fantastic idea alongside having a half completed Mini Clubman (a project, but legal and runs well. Just looks like a POS) and just having a newborn that we buy another longer term project car. In consultation with my better half of course, we bought a rego on hold, primed shell of a KP Starlet because you know, we naively thought there would be time to take on a project like this. Its arrived with all the interior bits floating around, about 3 different cut up body looms in a rubbish bag and some other extras. No running gear. Most the rust has been cut out hence the primer. The big sell was, it is a live shell and certed for a 4AGE & modified suspension. All we needed to do was source the running gear and we'd be in business? Famous last words. As it sat on the PO's driveway (Note: didnt come with the wheels pictured). Gregg was an absolutely great guy to deal with, have still kept in touch for bits and pieces. He owns a VERY well built turbo 4AGE KP now. After a quick discussion over a pie out at a lovely beach in Beachlands with my very good Toyota Century owning friend, I decided to take the plunge. The plan was to borrow our builder's car trailer and head up the following weekend out East to collect it. Its at this point im glad I had a Triton with a towbar, as I dont think our new glued together Haval would be capable. The following weekend, we drive down. Load up. Lose my hi viz along the road, but we make it back home. The Mini got reshuffled and here it is sitting in what will be its new home for the foreseeable and unforeseeable future. Boxes of parts. Mini: KP: I've always loved these. Prior to looking for a KP, I was keen on an Imp but they were either too far gone or just unable to be made road legal. I prefer the slant front, however the flat front has grown on me especially while following Ritchie's built which is somewhat a source of inspiration (this wont get to that level of build, but we can all dream). The idea was to build something road legal we could use on autocross/grasskhana/skid pan type events and not worry too much about breaking it. As always, my goals arent ever to make much power, its about reliability more than anything. Plus I could live out my dream of having fender mirrors and small Japanese wheels. Mainly documenting so its online for all the bits and pieces I couldn't find too much information on in the hopes it helps someone along the way. Build Overview: 4AGE 16v with ITBs, COP T50 22 Spline gearbox MaxxECU Street Standard diff (although have a good lead on a T Series) T Series RA29 diff Stripped out but tidy interior Reinstate half cage (Can see where the old one was due to the foot plates) Recaro Fishnets Generally put the thing back together

  3. Discussion: Link I bought Rolf (the golf) as my first car back in 2007 when I was 15 from a family friend. It had a damaged water pump and a broken radiator, and no oil in it. I found a water pump and a Haynes Manual on trademe and set to work, turns out the radiator was fine and no damage had been done to the engine due to the lack of oil. Its an awesome first car i drove it to and from school and university for a fair while on its standard 8 valve. Im filtering through all the previous build threads i made to try and create a bit of a timeline. This was always a learning experience and looking back on it some of the things I did I look back now and am a little concerned with. In saying that Ill probably do the same thing in 10 years time as well. 2010 (2l 16v swap) $500 engine with bent valves was all i could find but at the time it was a good excuse to learn how to rebuild the head.
  4. For discussion on my car, please visit - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/48408-scrmntoys-1983-toyota-ae85-discussion/ My AE85 project purchased in April 2015. 1983 Toyota Trueno Sprinter with Levin front end. 187,800km on the clock, only traveled 10,000km since 2004, has been in storage for the last 3 years and owned by previous owner for 8 years. Originally imported to NZ in 1991 to Dunedin. Has been a Dunedin car up until the previous owner moved up to the Bay of Plenty. Plans for the AE85 is to turn it into a nice tidy street car with tasteful mods. So far the hard work has been done and is just a matter of improving on whats already been done and tidying up the panel and paint. 4age 2nd gen bigport with 7 rib block, Factory exhaust headers with free flow exhaust. AE86 2 piece driveshaft and with open diff, rear disc brakes, old owner said said diff is from a celica but unsure of this yet as he wasn't 100% certain Nolothane bushes throughout all suspension components T series box, unsure of what model yet, K-Sport Coilovers, All certed - Also says reinforced rear shock towers on plate 17x7 wheels with spacers (bit too big for car I feel and wrong styling for the error or the car) Came with 13x7 rims aswell. Currently temporarily have put my 15x7 wheels off my AE92 as 17s aren't the best to drive with. Fibreglass bonnet with bonnet pins.
