  1. Do you have that hybrid 3tg together? 3tc pistons need the valve pockets in the pistons cut to 2tg specs to work.

     

    Yeah man, i don't have it together yet but i know about having to get the pistons fly cut to clear the valves, its part of the work i need done to the engine before i put it back together

     

    Dunno if you are already, but get on 3TCgarage.com.

     

    Plenty of guys doing R&P conversions on their TE27's, using KP6x Starlet racks with great results.

     

    Theres a guide done on here by robj using a ke70 rack and he said it work perfectly with no bump steer at all! but thanks ill definitely have a look at what they are doing with starlet racks

  2. well i got to drive it again for the first time in a while, and now i really want to sort out the steering i guess before i was used to it but now it feels horrible hahaha so rack and pinion conversion is on the table, i will set it up with the new crossmember so it will go in with the motor :) theres a nice long list of things that will probably go wrong when i finally put the engine in :dance: all part of the fun

  3. i like twins!

    twin mikuni solex 40mms on a manifold provided by ryan (cheers mate)

    slowly piecing together the puzzle

     

    Does anyone know of a shop that does good head work? i need to get a bit done before i can put it all back together.

     

    cheers guys, more to come

  4. slight set back, got defected cos my front left tyre was bald on the outside, i got positive camber ewwwww

     

    just gotta get a new tyre, put the stocko steering wheel back on and I'm good holefully

     

    if not i guess ill just take her off the road and try to do everything that i want to do before i get her back on the road

  5. cheers ryan

     

    and ben, I'm going to find some ae86 ps arms and get an adapter for the ball joint off of techno toy tuning.

    ke25 and te27 camber tops are exactly the same and cusco do a pretty good one for $350. I'm jealous that you got those te27 steering arms, that would have been nice, I'm not sure how the lengths of the te27 arms compare to the 86 arms. other than that, I'm buying all the parts like coilover sleeve and springs and weld it all together myself.

     

    as far as brake boosters go, i have no idea, they confuse me haha so ill probably end up just paying someone to do that for me

     

    and id say your a few steps ahead of me seeing as my motor is in bits haha

     

    also the head is no longer yellow like in the pics above!

  6. i like it!

     

    there isnt a lot you need to know about ae86 struts that you don't know already, and a big brake upgrade is easy with rx7 kits are available from ajps, and coilover kits are easy to get aswell. thats what I'm doing

     

    good to see another ke25 on here, good luck

  7. bit of an update

     

    got some ae86 struts waiting on some coilover sleeves, for a suspension and brake upgrade.

    also got a te27 cross member almost on the way so the engine conversion will be a nice bolt in.

     

    still need

    • ae86 hubs, rotors and calipers
    • coilover sleeves
    • flycut the 3t pistons
    • head work
    • carbs
    • diff

     

    once the car is back on the road

    • oil cooler and temp sensor
    • te27 flares
    • fender mirrors
    • fancy ignition
    • body work

  8. anyone else seen the ke20 in cornes toyota? looked pretty overrated, i think it was brown, couldnt really get a good look on the way past

     

    my mistake, i had a closer look, its a ke25, auto (lol), overrated there was like 2 tiny dents, no rust at all and they guy at the dealer picked it up for $1500 from a granny! I'm soooooooo jealous! even the seats were overrated, this think looks like its been driven like twice

  9. nice car mate! I'm glad your getting rid of the one piece front section haha :yes:

    is it going on the street or the track? id love to see a t series motor in this :y:

    decided on what colour you going to go for?

    will

  10. alright, got a fair bit done yesterday, took apart both motors and now theres a nice pile of parts in my garage :dance:

     

    lets start with the block yeah? who ever had it before decided they'd paint it black for me! after brushing the dust off it came up a treat!

    the head! can anyone recommend any shops that do good head work fairly cheap? looking for a good port and polish and some nice big valves

    post-10850-069553800 1302434980_thumb.jpg

  11. i love ma61 seats, they are great, not sure how much modding is required in the seat rails tho

    looks like you gotta cut your guards, you can see them under the flares, youll get more clearance and can run some wider wheels or phater offset when you lower it.

     

    car looks pretty straight overall, whats with the black shit on the hood? haha id get rid of that :y:
