deaf_rattle Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 just a summary of the engine work that has been done and yet to be done. I have just given my engine builder the go ahead on the block work so should have some nice crank pics to post soon. Head Acid dipped, bead blasted, decked, cam polish,valve grind and complete rebuild. HKS 1.2mm MHG and ARP Stud kit Block Acid dipped Decked Crank Polish Crank Knifeedging and de burring ACL bearings ARP Rod Bolts (to be purchased) ARP Main studs (to be purchased) Rod ends re sized (yet to be done) Shotpeened rods (Yet to be done) JE forged piston set (inc rings) Summit racing remote oil filter kit Full rotating assembly balance (yet to be done) Will be running a gt3582R ball bearing turbo and pretty confident that this set up with the rest of the bolt ons will make the goal of 500hp at the engine. Expected time of completion is now December 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaf_rattle Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Not sure if ill bother using these rotors as i might just go to slotted discs. Will probably get slotted rotors for the rear and run mintex brakes all round with better fluid. Should stop as well as it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaf_rattle Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 i suppose i should mention abit more of the history of this car. I drove down to palmy to look at this after seeing the following pics. I was looking at buying an st162 celica at the time, but Malcolm suggested the MA61 which was advertised on toyspeed (the old forum) at the time. Its come along way since being an $800 bucket of rust. and yes, the pics of the car being thrashed were the very first pics i saw of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaf_rattle Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Decided on powder coating some of the parts that are nice and clean now due to the shot blasting, so will post pictures when i get that done. (probably next weekend) gave the car a wash today, its amazing how dirty it can get just by sitting in the garage. My lovely g/f vacuumed the interior and cleaned the glass. Need to find a new drivers side door seal (bit that attaches to the car) Anyway some pics of the cleaning action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaf_rattle Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 got some more parts today alloy radiator panel (goes just in front of the radiator to direct more air through it) will be getting a under car panel made up too once the i/c piping is in and everything all sorted. Thanks to 1983supra on toymods for that. And big thanks to Ronnie for the custom steering rack support bushes. These will replace the stock broken rubber ones. Looking at buying a rear camber kit very soon, if anyone else is interested for their MA/GA61 or similar (soarer cressida etc) then they are $150.
