Spencer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yea try can get something you can weld on, its going to be hard for you to get that mint without shit loads of bog otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Ass Dragger Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ah sweet man, jsut had a mate with a Cefiro make some flares for the rear, then got a wheel alignment, then he had the redo the flare completly Thats why I recomend attaching panhard rod and having alighment done before going to crazy with the welder and bog This will be banging when completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Ass Dragger Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Cefiro's are IRS? Yes and also have AIDS and I know they don't have Panhard rods "But" the aligment still effected how everything sat once it was all aligned properly Thats why I advise getting the adjustable panhard rod fitted and having a decent alignment done before you start making flares so that you don't go and make flares and then get and alignment then find out whoa, i need to move my diff 5 mil to the left to make sure it is centred, and wow nothing lines up now and my flares look stupid becasue I have made them for a diff that wasn't centred and it has resulted in me making a wider flare on one side than the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 It will just be a matter of getting the diff center for me. I probably should have done that at the low height before I cut the guard up. Woops, but never mind. Not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Surely though you'd make equal sized flares for either side? Meh, regardless. Corona Coupes are awesomotron. Keep up the strange work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ahh, I just put the LF starlet guard on the RR and it fits a lot better. I guess this is what KPR did. Mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsspeed Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ahh, I just put the LF starlet guard on the RR and it fits a lot better. I guess this is what KPR did.Mean. lol, reading through I was gunna say try the opposite sides front guard - seems to make sense in my head due to orientation of bumpers etc Is the arch diameter from the starlet roughly the same as your corona? appears to be in pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Looks good mang! So standing next to my starlet and contemplating the arch style made an impression.... They do seem to fit ridiculously well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oh yeah.... Wanna borrow mig to tack them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oh yeah.... Wanna borrow mig to tack them on? Dad has a nice little portable one at work. Will keep that in mind though cheers mate Ahh, I just put the LF starlet guard on the RR and it fits a lot better. I guess this is what KPR did.Mean. lol, reading through I was gunna say try the opposite sides front guard - seems to make sense in my head due to orientation of bumpers etc Is the arch diameter from the starlet roughly the same as your corona? appears to be in pics Yeah, they are pretty much perfect! It definitely fits much better with the sides swapped. Will still take a lot of adjustments. I will get some other struts in the front and slam to the height it want it with the panhard rod in before I even start tacking anything in place. And I got a feeling that it will be untacked and replaced a few times too. I spent a year and a half cutting rust out of the AW11 and fixing dents to paint it black which turned out well. So I'm not scared of doing body work. Got pretty good with bog in the end lol. Thanks for the encouragements. For the front guards I'm just going to pull the lip out and do lots of hammer and dolly beatings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 yeh i flipped mine left to right as well. front guards i made an extra long bracket that sits just in front of the tyre and pushes the guard out around 20mm. unstitched a few of the spot welds to alow the guard to come out as well. probably wont work on yours, looking at your guard design, but maybe worth a go. /giz those tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 hey Simon, its Tarran Can you get off the shelf branded coilovers for wack old toyotas like ours? I thought there was no way they'd make them for old niche stuff like gx61's... or do you fuck with nissan ones a little bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hey bro! Na I don't think there is off the shelf stuff with the chassis code. If there is it will be $$$$. Have never seen them. Ae86 corolla stuff is very similar and everywhere. It would probably bolt up on the rear and im sure the bottom of front bottom mounts bolt up. Strut towers may need drilling etc. Im not 100%. Im getting mine built because I did a deal with the engineer an a can go real low. Some bought coilovers dont wind right down with the original springs. So just waiting for engineer to finish sasu and I wil whack it in for cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 what you did with the centres looks awesome by the way to man, (never thought of anything besides a straight colour, tidy!) so what'd you mean when you said, ? Oh hay bro, Best way is straight up branded coilovers front and rear. This is also the most spendy option. ??? cos the jap guys on gogo6171 seem to be running 'ae92 inserts, (must be custom coilovers) w/ adjst top hats, and ae86 rear shocks'.. (From what i get with japanese / av translation to eng) so i'll probably just try do something similar to that/you, (just that i thought you made it sound like you could get off the shelf coilovers, and i was thinking, 'sweet that saves alota hassle, even if it means $$$ it'd be all done and mint') is the corona just sitting on chops atm?? When do you get front suspension and adjst panhard rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_jap1 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You guys in kiwiland don't seem to like using anything but whole branded coilover kits Anyways, this is how we do it in australia, you buy these in a 51mm inner diameter; http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/sleevekits.htm you cut down your standard toyota struts to the height of the aftermarket ae92 inserts (most add spacers underneath the shocks) and then you weld the sleeves to the stock strut. This way you get to keep your standard hub and brake caliper spacing (which is compatible with all the skyline brake calipers if you own an _a6_ celica or _t14_ corona) and I'm pretty sure this is the way the japs do it. Then you buy yourself S13 silvia camber tops and as said earlier ae86 shocks for the rear. I'd say this would come out cheaper then branded coilovers (maybe not the china-spec ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
