Philbey I also thought about doing this but wanted something unique so thought I'd dive in and do it. I'll be posting some more photos tonight and some more details on the pitfalls and traps.

Yep extremely tall, only just fits in there. Might even have to mod the bonnet a little yet, will see how it goes. My main concern for now is the central floor brace inside the cabin. It has to modified dramatically but if I increase overall strength and rigidity it should be fine. Plus I'm looking to put a full cage in (removable front pieces by bond roll bars) it should be all good. Will be ringing the engineer today to have a bit more of a chat

Greenmac80 - yeah I've spoken with jordy a bit as he rang me out of the blue asking where I got my cut from.
Yes everything fits but its bloody tight and there is a fair bit of modifications to complete but if I keep the engineer in the know he seems to be fine with what I want. I already have to engine and box mounted just need to finish the tunnel and cross brace I the middle of the floor and the hard work is done :)

Hi guys,
Thought it was about time I started a thread detailing my build project. I bought the car back at the start of the year off e-bay. I bought it without inspecting it so was pretty happy to find it in reasonable condition. So i got it home and started with my research as to what i could fit in the engine bay. I originally thought i'd go with a 4agte but after some research found the 4a road had been travelled many times over. So I've got a mate that had just bought a KE20 to make into a race car and he was talking about these 'mythical' Altezza beams engines...... HMMMMM my ears pricked up with the 210hp stock 6 speed manual. So off to the importers to pick up a front cut and make it happen :)
So anyways once it was home i started stripping it down and removing excess parts to sell off to recoup some money. This is where the fun began, I had taken some measurements while the motor was in the front cut but it wasn't unitl it was out that I realised this was a much bigger project than i first thought.
Don't worry there is more to come :)

Sorry guys heres the photos

Heres some photos I've just dug up

I've gone hopper stoppers kit on original struts with later model corolla inserts. Used otomot coilover kit with adjustable tops. Minimum 15 inch wheel. I've bought a Tilton pedal setup and using vh40 remote booster front and back Coz I'm going hilux diff with ma70 supra disk conversion. Expensive but I don't wanna build it twice. Heaps of options out there mate just takes the research time. Good luck. PM if u want photos.

I've gone with the otomoto kit and think it's of good quality. I've also got the hopper stopper kit so I'm getting a custom bar made 22mm thick by signature sway bars for under $300. I'll try and get some photos up soon

Guys/Girls,
I'm currently building my KE11 and need some info from you people out there about the front and rear track width of a standard KE11. This distance is measured from the centre of the front left to the centre of the front right tyres.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm chasing a drivers side strut tower without rust. The shell i've got is great condition apart from the previous owner cutting the strut tower and stretching it to fit a bigger strut top???????? Don't ask me why they'd even bother. If possible i need the whole panel cut out so I can unstitch it and spot weld it back into my shell to make it original. If your unsure of what and where i mean I can take a photo and post it up. I live in NSW 2541 if your wondering about postage cost (i'll cover that too, obviously).
Thanks
Luke

Altezzaclub - initially I wasn't gunna change it. Would like to get it up and running and rego'd before startin with upgrades like that, it's gunna cost enough as it is. Just food for thought though how much roughly for flywheel and clutch?
