Mitch.W Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 so this is how i made my front suspension... simple as shit! buy cheap fucked suspension that has a sleeve you can steal.. now cut the spring platforms off your suspension off and strip down ready for a person to machine off. take to someone with a lathe and get them machined off and shorten your struts by 50mm for max low. also weld on the sleeves onto yours! paint to make them look pretty. also give your brakes a birthday while your at it. you can see the callipers on the background of this pic now im ordering some mr2 sw20 rear adjustable dampener shocks from summit racing. also waiting for the camper plates i got with the tein suspension to be drilled to the correct pcd for me and them put it together and hope they go low enough!! also i got this far with taking the rails off me seat to make an adaptor for my bride and cbf hahaha. anyone know any aftermarket rails that will fit mt seat and car with minimal modifying? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 things are getting done on this now! got my suspension back. slapped it together quickly to make sure it goes low enough.... this is the result still with about 30-40mm lowrer!!! im so stoked .im going to find something sweeter wheels to run on it and alloy. rather than the steel wheels. wheel fitment on the front is quite good! shame the backs too far out. if they dont sell this time on trademe il keep them and just get the offset adjusted fot the back ones to bring them in abit. i brought some semi slicks for when this thing is running off mark (corollagt) also got the evo camber plates i had sent them away to get made into cressida plates they came back like this then got some draino and water put it all together and you get this let it simmer until cooked well and this is the end result... annnnddd then you peel that shit off and you get a nice shiny finish i haven't got a pic of that yet. and that is my story. discuss-//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/33383-ke70-wagons-gx71/page-7?hl=ke70_wagons cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 nothing too interesting happening at the moment. no closer to skids either :/ got a fancy steering wheel thanks to 4AG_Addict and some 14' AME mesh wheels i might widen out to make some sweet wheels/add to the collection. annddd thing funny looking thing made its way into my house... so if anyone have a nice size turbo with a t3 flange on it dont reaallly want it to be lag city bitch lag lag city bitch (no DSR or Chinese stuffs) and a tial 40mm wastegate (prefer a vband) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Soooo did some more work on this in the weekend. Pulled the rear subframe out ready to do the subframe camber mod. Like so, Then left the car on some blocks of wood Then found a old supra subframe growing weeds around it in the back yard and pulled 2 pairs of eccentric bolts out of it chur!! Now just need to but an angle grinder as i blew mine up. Im also getting some mounts to hold the bolts with slots made in them so i have rear camber adjustment!! i may buy some nothlane bushes or something? made up to the right size. or i might jst jump on a lathe and whip something up thats the right size.

Mitch.W Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 So got my turbo and whatnot all together put it on the car and this happend... Silly dizzzy! took it around to a mates house and cut the flange/s off and changed the angle of the turbo and also welded on the v-band flange for the wastegate. And on the car!!!! really like how it turned out! Now, taking my rear subframe to a engineer to get the camber mod done as i have no time to do so now and booked in to get wired up woohooo! I've been reconnecting heaps of little bits and pieces lately, still need to do the oil lines for the turbo, make a dump pipe and exhaust then subframe in and then heaps of little things to get a cert!!!! All this has to be done before the end of January as I'm leaving for Wellington to study!

Then blocked off the heater hose lines and whatnot and welded the last oil fitting up. engine bay is starting to look very nice!! Brought some rca's off Tarran chur bo!! Put the fog lights off my mark 2 onto this before i sold it Also more exciting news!! got some wiring done an got to turn the engine over!! have everything but power to the coil!! so should have that sorted in the next couple of weeks then tidy all of it up. also looking for a smaller intercooler i don't know what i was thinking when i thought that would fit nicely... Got a Cannon 600D so my photos are going to be alot nicer from now on! Annddd brought some wheels got them cheap they should be here monday!

Mitch.W Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Been slowly chipping away at small things. Took my subframe to a guy to do it as i was never going to get around to it. Got it back yesterday and it was well worth the money! got a chunk cut out of the exhaust passage and put ecrentic bolts in so i can adjust the camber. Also my new wheels arrived Volk Rays mesh, going to get 2 of them widened out to 8's or 9's Cheers. should be afew more updates in the next week or so.

Mitch.W Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 so this thing should have been finished roughly 2 years ago... Got home from wellington for semester break brought some exhaust tube and but it and tacked it together to resemble some sort of exhaust gas extraction pipe thingy and welded a flexi on there, bolted it all up and now now its ready for a muffler to be welded in so i can see how loud it will be.. Here is a super shitty iphone pic for you guys! I also brought some shocks for the front and then ran out of money/studentlyfe. So whats left? new/mod the back springs to a nice height tidy wiring find wide wheels bolt check cert fix a bunch of shit needed for cert sell and buy a house Talk here - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/33383-ke70-wagons-gx71/?hl=ke70_wagons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
