ANT Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 So First thing i done once the car arrived was remove the stock auto. I kept all the manual gear from the turbo car, and started to swap it over.Plan was to use a 6 speed gbox but after many measurements and 1 test fit, it was decided to use the W series gbox in the meantime as i dont want to cut up a mint car just yet. I had a stock 1g flywheel. But decided to import a lighter one. stock fly JUN Flywheel.7.8 ----> 4.6kg And finished. Gbox is a bit haggard but it wont be in for too long. will mod everything to fit the 6 speed j160 after cert. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Next add some factory option pieces.before selling my turbo chassis i swapped to factory mirrorless front doors.This ment pulling both sets of doors apart and swapping everything. Including pulling both sets of door cars apart and swapping the tops over.Would NOT do it again. Proper Gx71 Mirrors, including new metal storks as the originals were rooted so i made some new ones. Factory Half seat covers and monsoons. Both say mark II on them. ideal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Ordered New Outer Barrels for Focus Racing. Have organised purchase of Camber adjustable subframe also. Thanks to a gingerminge speciman. Question. Once the wheels are split i want to powdercoat the centre and spokes, then skim 0.5-1mm off the face of the centre to bring it back to new metal and remove pitting, while keeping the sides of spokes powdercoated. Will the powdercoating chip if i lathe the face? Am i better to paint rather then powdercoat. Whats the benefits of powdercoating over spraying them?Answer here ---> //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/47514-ants-tc24-gx71/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Wof time.Went to replace steering rack due to it leaking like a solid 8/10 creampie. Learned that my jap model has some flash rack and the NZ spec x7 ones are way different. So had to rebuild the original one. Replaced Clutch slave and Master also because they both were OG 180,000k ones and leaked also. /lingpost. Next update should be cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
