Mitch.W Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 yeah slowly but surely! yeah 15's would work if it was just going to be a car to drive around and get stuck everywhere. Sounds deadening is coming out just because the interior is getting re painted and 40% of the old stuff is all cracking and lifting up and most likely has water sitting underneath. Just a piece of mind basically, it will be put back in with new stuff once its all painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 17's a good size. You can still get lots of low but don't have to moddify the guards. Speaking of guards, I have a spare one you can have. It's just sitting under the house not doing anything. It is not mint but it isn't rusty and might be better than yours? Pretty sure it was a passenger side one but will double check. I got given it as i wanted to make copies of the GTX sticker on the side....

rot808 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Will be watching this closely as I'm too lazy to work on mine haha Ps please can I pilfer the guard if mr Mitch does not want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldspark Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Come buy all of micheal v6 stuff . He even has cad plans for a rwd box can be slap on / Think a rx7 is a very close fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not mint which is why I was given it. It's funny as I took the others to the scrape guy and got 11c each for them, and $28 for a complete set of factory 15's. No one ever seems to want FC bits which is why I binned the lot! Only kept the guard to make copies of the sticker.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Sooo update on this thing!! I am now a poor student so progress has slowed have been hoarding heaps of parts for this! ready slap on this thing, Stripped the interior and painted engine bay and interior in the next 2 weeks. This thing is now going to the track as i feel i need to start drifting/jealous of everyone having fun. SOO engine choices!! Looking for 200kw ish Option 1 - sr20de+t (already have a sr20de sitting here) Option 2 - 2jzge with some work. this is heaver than sr20 and gearbox etc will be expenny Thats all i have so far. doesn't need to be anything crazy power or special. just reliable and cheap ish to maintain. I will update with pictures in the next few weeks!! ps.. Its going to be on 15's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Put a 1JZ in it instead of a 2J, you'll piss in with your 200kw and it won't be as spendy. Plus they sound cool as hell. /waits for Rookie to come suggest a K series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they sound cool as hell. /waits for Rookie to come suggest a K series. was thinking this but they are prettty heavy engines.. These are not really light cars to start with else i would be going sr20de. I think they are 1300kg standard. 1jzge = 147kw.. is that enough powers to have a good time? on 185/55/15 also haha. edit: Hmmmm 1jzge could be the go... and i could always add itb's later on.. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/engines/auction-736530809.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillway Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 1JZGTE plenty of nissan chassis running them personally 13b turbo > piston motor swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 only reason i want to stay away from turbo is parts are $$ i would need an r154 etc. and n/a is always best!!! if i need more power i can just bolt on a turbo and have a low boost set up. Rotarys are even more expensive!! will cost me 8kish for a reliable rotary setup. i think i could get a 1jzge setup manual for 1.8-2kish.

MRWEST Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 /xr6 turbo xr6 non turbo and bolt a turbo on..can buy a non turbo engine for under 500bucks. and make up a manifold and wire in a link and some injectors, exhaust etc and a big turbo 300kw+ with ease. Dtech built a r32 with a n/a block a few years ago and things been cranking 300kw as a +T for ages with no trouble. Aussies do it all the time apparently.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
