Shandangles Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 discussion thread viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30651 thought i should finally put up a build thread just before i move to aus and dont touch the car for ages brought it in '08 running a 4age, k50, d2s, s series locker and a link making 88whp then eventually over the coarse of the next three years it turned into this was running a 4agte w55 hilux diff, trd/ koni, rose joints/ adjustable everywhere 230 whp. till about 3 weeks ago. I then decided to completely strip it just 6 weeks before i move to aussie for god knows how long, but in the 6 weeks before i go she will be undergoing some major changes, so this thread will be about the car from now on. She is going to visit my good buddies Simon and Dan (nothingsfree) aka SURFAB on monday for some mad fab shit then off for a P&P in and out then hiffed in the shed will take progress pics as it comes along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandangles Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 boring picture-less update...... finally got myself back in the black so have started amassing stuff for the car have purchased 1 Bosch 044 fuel pump, 2x fuel pump brackets (1 for the 044, 1 for the 070) and some MRP/Fortune Auto coilovers, should be the goods, next will be the wilwood order =) edit, found a pic of said suspension, shit is flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 well im back in the country and all my shit has arrived!!! about to go fit everything. The wilwoods and the MRP/Fortune auto have just been at the surfab fantasy factory getting the fronts welded up, had a wee steel plug made to go into the remains of the factory strut and the adjustable tube for a bit of added strength, was made by TRANSIT engineering on Francella st Linwood, Cheap as chips and took less than 24 hours, top service !!

Shandangles Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 fitted stuff up, albiet the wrong way so the caliper is at the back not the front but its on and all fits and doesnt hit anything!!!! shit is close tho the grease nipple for the ball joint is like 5mm max from the rim with the 50mm RCAs 280mm disc in through a 15" sportmaxx / max suspension droop!!! sweetness discuss viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30651 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 all done, front is max low, rear can still drop about 30-50mm if i remove the height adjustment perch things. 14" settlies with flat tires prob dont help the levelness.

Shandangles Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Brought some alloy front hubs from a company in Ireland called Group 4 fabrications http://www.grp4fabrications.com/ Paid for them on Monday and they were at my house Thursday morning, Epic Service in my book. The hubs are a direct replacement for the factory 86 ones but have an in built 10mm spacer & they look swish as shit Just need to replace the front castor arms as they are shit "hardrace" ones and bent, im thinking either Driftworks or T3 then the front suspension/steering should be all done. MAD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
