ryanfels Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 What did you get done by Brendan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 He basically went over the whole car looking for cert failures, plus driveshaft hoops, gearbox xmember touching exhaust, made up an airbox rah rah. Basically a whole bunch of real little stuff that would have taken me another 6 months. Yeah, now it's just a washer bottle and high stop light for WOF I think. And cert obviously.

Rookie Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 you dont need washers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Huh, there you go then. I do want them eventually though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advokit Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looking good man. What rear end are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Cheers man, its running a Te71 disk braked t series. Same as 86 but without the convenient swinging calipers, gotta take it right off to do the pads. Same mounts and everything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good progress man! Will be good to see this out and about some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advokit Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sweet! I really wanted a TE71 but I think most have them have turned to dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Is it running the right injectors for the smallport ecu? Bluetop injectors are a different impedance and make them run rich, but should still drive OK. My AW initially ran like that and always puffed black smoke, but went well (could still beat B16A Civics in a drag race). Could be the TPS, does it hunt at idle? Normally it won't matter too much if you mix and match different tps' s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Oh hey! I'm still on the hunt for a TPS (haven't started looking). I'm not sure which injectors it's running, I'll have a look in the next couple of days. Do you know what colour is correct for the smallport?

flyingbrick Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 on the up side.... Those things are easy to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advokit Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 What the hell? Its the factory position for the brake lines? New UJs and make sure driveshaft bolts are correctly torqued and it should never let go behind the 4age. Some certifiers are painful. Out of interest what else did they pull you up on? Im interested as I will have to go through this process also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Got pulled up on a few wof things, gearbox x member, running rich, loose wires/plugs in the interior and maybe seat mounts. Apparently bride seat rails aren't up to snuff these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advokit Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wow bride seat rails no good either? Sounds like this guy doesn't trust quality Japanese engineering. Im pretty sure Toyota and Bride both know what they are doing when it comes to mass producing stuff...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I suspect he doesn't. His reasoning for the loose wires was "hot rodders wouldn't leave it like this". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That's a shame man . Sounds erg much like a close minded hot rodder ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
