And what may be the biggest front brake rotors a corolla has ever seen. Only 270mm diameter but they are an inch wide!!!!
-
Good plan rob. One of those kits should fit in the little 15l space I have in the spare whee well left after sub box install.
A few goodies came today in the mail.
My mk1 golf chin spoiler arrived. And I managed to find a hilux LSD with only 50000km on it for $100
-
Amp rack finished and sub enclosure started.
No spare in my car, however I am installing a small compressor and air tank for if punctures happen.

Looking sweet mate. Bring back the brown :-)
-
Good luck with the building and learning mate. You have come to the right place for ke know how and advice :-) looking forward to it finished :-D

I really like that the r31 diff comes with a panhard bar. Should really stiffen up the rear end. I was just too cheap to get a diff shortened lolol. Do you know if the nissan lsd is clutch type?
-
Radio out champ. Its mounted with two nuts directly behind radio
-
Yeah true... thats a good way to be.. I attacked everything at once... got too bored doing one thing at a time hahaha

If you want 0 offset and huge dish then your diff will need to be 35mm a side shorter then normal. Or flip side you can run 35mm flares. My rear is sitting flush with body at +35. If you want I can get some better pics for you to show clearance. Just let me know.
Are you measuring to the hub mounting surface inside the rim. I also made a mistake measuring first up but then measured rim width and halfed it then drew a line mid way around inside of wheel to see 0 offset. I did try 0 offset globe wheels off a bathurst gtho and couldnt lower the car over the wheels lolol. Would have needed two inch flares... like a torana slr hahaha
-
I just checked your working on ya rear offset.
My wheels are 8 inches wide so check the above pics if your offset is 12 then youll deffo need to flare the guard as they will be 23mm out further then mine. And the above pic is without the discs mounted too. When its out the extra 10mm then the Guards will need rolling on my car. So if you go 13mm out pass that then youll need a small flare job. Although I recon they look good with the rear flared out abit as it matches the front better and gives it an extra line below the rear doors. Classly stuff :-)

Looking good bud.
If you getting the diff cut down to identical size as ke30 dif then I can't see you running 12 offset. I posted above some pics and my measurements. When my discs are on the car thay will push the wheel out another 10mm caus of rotor mounting face so ill have to roll the guards and maybe flare them out a little. But that will give me an extra 10mm clearance to the tub and leaf springs. I'm pretty sure with the right offset wheel you'll get 9 inch tyres under the rear end :-D. Not real wide but with a good set of yokohama advans or similar should have plenty of grip.
The stock falcon tyres are on there atm so are a bit tall but are still a pretty good indication of clearance. My rear end is also dropped three inches as well which was a miscalculation on my part haha.
-
Seems like you planning as you go. I was doing that but it ended up costing mire as I kept changed my mind. So now I got a vision to follow haha. My engine type even changed three times hahaha

I have ended up buying a few square meters of black vinyl from bunnings for fairly cheap and its got a real nice pattern in it too. Seeing as my recaros have a blue insert I'm going to get the centres redone in recaro nardo black fabric and am gunna get a little spare to I can put an insert in the door trim.
Ill buy all I need then goto a trimmer just to smash the insert in.
Was gunna carpet the boot but have now decided to vinyl the whole boot including the floor as the vinyl will strech and fit better, plus I got 4mm thick waterproof carpet underlay to make it a bit squishy.
Keep in mind that some recaro trim is glued to the foam so can't be removed and the whole seat need to be reconstructed. But the evo 6, 7 and 8 unzips. Or so ive been told.

What brakes and diff you running in it mate? those tramp rods look hardocre... but guess youll have a shit load of power. Do you need to cut the tunnel to do the sr20 conversion?
And how did you work out the above measurements?
I got a 71 rn25 hilux diff in my car but am struggling to ft bf facon 16x8s on it (keeping in mind rn25 diff is the same width as the ke30 one). I got bout 10 mm tub clearance, bout 5mm leaf clearnace and 9mm guard clearance with the 35 offset falcon wheels, this is with 215/45r16. You gunna run flares?
Just think you being a little too ambitious with your wheel offsets unless you tub it. But give it a go anyway :)
-
sweet. for some reason i couldnt see the pics before.. they have come up now.
You got any idea what you gunna trim it with?
-
love it mate... Like a jap ECTO1 ghostbusters car :-D. Anybody bought this yet?
-
lololol... Corollas are like a disease... You buy or aquire one and you just want to keep buying more for the collection untill you are overrun by the things. hahaha

So i sent my crossmemeber and engine mounts away to my uncle to get properly welded up as I'm only a amateur and i wanted the thing strong. Which up there he tells me he misses welding and wants more parts to do.
So next week i will fit the steering box back into the car and cut the stock manifold up. Ill mock up the exhaust and tack it up.
I will be going a slightly different route to mick and his little yellow beast and will be keeping the system 4-2-1 just like factory standard as it gives more mid range power (so says honda). After that I will also get him to fab me a new intake manifold, as i wish to put a roots supercharger on it for that magic 300rwhp (running only 3-4 psi of boost for engine longevity).
99% of these engines when force inducted use a turbo charger or a centrififugal supercharger as the setup is fairly simple in the honda engine bay. But seeing as there is no room in front of the engine in the engine bay in the ke30, the roots supercharger will sit atop the new intake manifold and will sit slightly out of the bonnet. And I love me a supercharger whine so roots or whipple is the only way to go..
Car will however be getting rego'd before the charger goes on so it will be on the road while before i get that far... But planning ahead is making my vision come together quicker.

Hey mate. Still looking. I have found it in the usa online manual. I have found jaycar do a similar setup also. But I think best off to wrecker as subaru australia don't recognise us part numbers :-(
What conversion you doing mate?
Ive managed to get an exhaust manifold fabd for free now too :-)
-
I would suggest going to a wrecker as there are unfortunately people among us that should never have a licence, but still go and buy stupidly fast cars.

@ robski.
There are quite a few variants of the subaru centre console ports. There is usb/ aux, just usb, just aux, aux with component R/W/Y and usb with R/W/Y. I'm having trouble finding the one i have but it appears the easiest one to aquire is the usb with R/W/Y.
ill post a full list of parts numbers when home this arvo.

Ill have a search for the part number tonight for you
