Guest Truenotch Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Get 'er done man! I want to see this car more often . Also, who cares about having it completely finished... You don't need trim or interior to have fun. And also, can you throw up some raw trackday footage? 1
Guest Roman Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah I've got a 4 day weekend coming up for Anzac day onwards, so going to get stuck into sorting out some odd bits and pieces on the carina then. I think I need to fit a rear seat belt and a few other random things like that. In the meantime I've been smashing through getting the vid sorted, with any luck I might have a (members only, contains shenanigans) version of the osnats vid out tonight or tomorrow. Once that's sorted I'll cut down to a second (public friendly) version and then after that I will upload some of the other trackday footage bits and pieces etc which arent in the main vids. 1
Guest shaneo Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Looks great just use it and don't worry about the speedo they hardly even take them for a very big drive now days there far to busy having to drive instead of looking around as long as it moves should slip past. 1
Guest Roman Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Haha yeah, will see how it goes. Thanks heaps for taking me for a hoon around on the opening laps of the trackday! Was heaps of fun, I bet that car is awesome to drive around the track at full noise.
Guest shaneo Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah its loads of fun still haven't really had it running to where it should be yet but good things take time 1
Guest 4AG_Addict Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I'm in the bidding for that AA60 Coupe on Trademe, if I win it i'll put all the trim aside for you.
Roman Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Argh awesome! Thanks man I would be super stoked about that! It seems there just arent any left in the North Island anymore, except for a few at Horopito apparently. Let me know if the bidding gets higher than you're willing to go, I'd top you up with some extra cash for bidding id need be, if it meant I could get some of the outside trim and a few other random bits I've been wanting for ages. Another thing I havent been able to find is the hinge between the two rear seats, it's a part that's specifc to the two door carinas.
Roman Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 No disputing that looks ultra sweet. However driveway at my new house makes any slammage impossible, need planks of wood to get it up the drive as is.After this is certed I'm not planning to do anything further to it, apart from tending to maintenance and breakages. 1
kpr Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 the ps and manual rack would be the same length anyway no? I say leave it how it is and get the alignment done. the static toe out isn't going to be helping and will make it feel pretty horrible. go see tarran at tyretech
Roman Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I did a check on toyodiy.com, and the PS rack does have a different part number for the tie rod ends. So possibly it has the ball joint spaced down a little lower maybe? Yeah the castor/camber/toe/everything is a mess at the moment, it might be a combination of all of these things being incorrect causing the problems.
Sambo Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Yah, I bought a T50 for my 85, lost and and bought another one for like $45 total. Let me know how you get on with tie rod ends. I'm after a PS pair, Partmaster told me they were the same.
Truenotch Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Iv probably got a Altezza and Caldina throttle body kicking around with all associated bits. Will have a look.
Roman Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Hey so I just checked my spark plugs as it's been back to running rough as guts, and two out of four had cracked porcelain. They were $$$ platinum plugs too without toooo many kms on them, bugger!I've swapped them in and out a fair bit though in fairness so I might have overtightened them or knocked them or something I guess. I have swapped back to some cheapo plugs until I can figure out why it's running like crap, but then still running like crap after the spark plug swap. I've recently swapped out an injector that appeared to stop working, and now after a drive the OBD is showing that the ECU is adding 20% fuel across the board (maximum it can adjust) and it's still running lean as hell according to the plugs condition. So I'm suspecting that I've probably got a blocked fuel filter, or a failing fuel pump. Possibly on account of that it's just a random TA63 fuel tank I bought without cleaning out or whatever, probably has a whole heap of crap in it. Does anyone have any experience with cleaning out fuel tanks? I'll do some troubleshooting to see if it's a blocked fuel filter etc, but it likely comes back to an issue with crap in the fuel tank, or the fuel pump being zillions of old and giving up. pooz
