Avenga Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi Guys.finally got the body shell for my next race car project. Plans for it include a Rover V8 with quad downdraft webers.All the flares, body kit and spoilers are steel, so somebody has spent a while on the body work so far.Here are some photos. Progress will probably start slow as I need to buy a lot of parts like the engine etc. Discuss: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/28681-avengas-avengers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi guys. So I have decided on a bit of a change of direction for my V8 Avenger. I have decided to drop the Rover V8 and go for a Toyota 1UZ-FE instead. I have just started on the first of my spending spree's. First up I brought a '94 1UZ-FE and a set of OBX independent throttle bodies. The rest of my plans for the engine include some new cams and to flow the heads a bit. next on my shopping list is a R154 gearbox and Hilux LSD. Here are some photos.

Avenga Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Latest purchase.LSD unit for a hilux diff.Next up is to measure the Avenger diff and buy a similar length diff.The hard part is going to be finding the right ratio diff head, I am after a 3.7:1 so if anyone knows of one for sale then let me know.Discuss: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/28681-avengas-avengers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Another update.Started stripping the V8Brought my Hilux housing, it is about 100mm wider than the Avenger diff so it will help with the wide body mods. I tracked down a 3.9 diff head which I will get next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenga Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi guys. A quick update. I have got the 3.9:1 hilux diff head to complete the rear end. I have also continued to strip the V8 and install the new transmission. and like the last scene from the movie "Seven", a head in a box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
