ShAe82

Cheers dude!! I'm on the look out!

SICCCCKKKK!!!!! I want those!!!

Thought I'd throw this up cos it's cool!!! http://zeropromises.com/?p=564

Type in to google - How to flush a radiator But I doubt that will fix a leaking water pump....

Different rails I believe.... but not to hard to change over with the 92 ones.

Another AE sedan!! Liking what you've done with this so far. Looks heaps better with all the black bits on, needed something to break up the white!!! Why not just put the silver top in??? Silver tops are sick ;)

Thanks mate!!! I'm still undecided as to which way i will go with the engine N/A or Turbo???? hmmmm.... I'd have to say I'm leaning towards N/A atm but who knows. The oil cooler looks awesome, not so sure on the practicality of it tho as i just spent 15 mins picking all the bugs out from last night!! hahaha. Cheers!!! I thought of using vinyl to cover the doors but i ended up just painting them with export satin black hahaha super cheap had it on special!!! Came out ok but i will probably go the vinyl when the paint starts to look shit. This is how they turned out, Thanks mate, Coils and sway bars are most certainly next 2 thing on my list!!! Just need to start saving up some dollars!!! I have read your build thread right through but can't remember what you are running.... An advice or recommendations? I'm set on whiteline for the sway bars but as for coils I haven't really looked into it too much just yet. Cheers Azza!! So last night I went out to the willowbank test and tune night super keen to see what diference all this work had made.... I had in mind mid to low 15's. My first race i was up against my mate in his Gti-r and i already knew i was gonna loose!!! haha. My first take off was soooo bad!! The sticky track, semi slicks and LSD made the car completely different to last time i was there!!! I axel tramped hard off the line and missed 3rd gear 3 times!!! and only ran a 16.4 My next few runs were not so bad, still axel tramping a little bit off the line I got down to a 16 flat then a 15.9 and 15.7. Last race of the night I was up against another of my mates in his Evo 8, his best time for the night was a 14.8 so were wern't to far apart, I got a decent take off, no axel tramp and managed to be almost level at 60ft then he pulled away... I ran a 15.6 tho best time for the night so i was really happy with that. I know the car can go faster too i just need a bit more practice to get it right!! Here is my time slip. Not bad considering i was up against an Evo!!! That was also his best time for the night too. Pic I found today.

Thanks!! No reason really other than i like the silver top better. Stronger bottom end, and i didn't really want to go to all the effort to put the bt in (even tho its not much) for only a small gain in power. Plus the $$$ i got for the engine has paid for everything i wanted to do.

Car is back together and driving!! YAYA.... Still a few little things left to do but here is what it looks like now. Just gotta finish the center console for the tacho to sit in and some buttons and still haven't finished my plenum yet but that can come later. The car feels way better to drive now with the new box! LSD is awesome! New exhaust and headers give it a much deeper tougher sound. Going to test and tune on Wednesday night to run it down the quarter. Before I did anything to the car it's best time was 16.2 will be interesting to see the difference.

Awesome!!!!!! :yes: :yes:

Nice clean 82!! Any plans for it yet??

Thanks Azza, I'll make up a small block probably out of wood to fit inside the window runner and screw it into place, make sure its nice and tight tho don't want it to rattle or leak!

Car is looking awesome mate!!! Love the front bar. Needs a little low :thumbsup:

Some updates!!! Got my brake's finished. I went to the wreckers on the weekend to get a few bit and found a sweet front lip!! Also got an oil cooler setup. After a bit of cutting the lip fits almost perfect and the cooler is mounted in the bar! Not %100 sure if i like the cooler hanging out like that as i'd hate for it to get damaged by a stone or someting but it looks cool!! haha The whole bar, cooler included will be getting a coat of black paint soon tho so it wont be as noticeable!! I've also got rid of a bit more weight from the doors, especially the rear's. They are pretty much just a shell now only able to be opened from the outside and the window will be permanently shut. The front doors are still complete, I just removed the trim and replaced it with thin MDF board. not sure what I'm goin the cover the board with yet..... And finally everything is painted and ready to be re-assembled. Still working on my plenum and the air intake setup, hoping to have most of it done by the weekend.

haha yeah.... funny how one thing leads to another then before you know it your building a race car!!!

I saw some in japland but i'm too impatient to wait for it to get here!!! haha Thanks jake, i wasn't too sure about the color at first but it has grown on me now i love it!!! I painted my rims tonight and am taking them in to have the semi's fitted tomorrow. New rotors pad's and wheel bearings going in tomorrow too!!! Then some more painting.

I have the same problem with mine! Leaving off the fuel cap solves the pressure problem temporarily, and the car should run better. As for how the purge valve works, I'd also like to know!!

So I had a few days off work last week and managed to get a heap of stuff done on the rolla!!! I've Stripped it right down to it's shell, removed all the body deadener along with a bunch of other stuff that i will no longer need like the heater box and everything that goes with it, took to the parcel shelf with a grinder and cut a big chunck out of that, and removed basically anything else that wasn't welded on!! I searched around for a while for a rear strut brace but had no luck finding anything so decided to use the one i had from the Levin. The 2 front bolt holes lined up perfectly and i made up 2 plates out of steel for the back bolts, went and got a peice of 45 angle from bunnings and bolted it inbetween the parcel shelf panels and it all fits up nicley!!! Custom rear strut brace!!! With all that done i got to painting. Still got doors boot and bonnet to go. Loving how its all coming together at the moment, i have new front and rear rotors coming tomorrow so the brakes will be finished and it will be back rolling again. I'm also working on a custom plenum to house my trumpets!!! pics coming soon :thumbsup:

These came in the mail today!!!!! yep. And also picked up these aswell for some extra stop.

haha yup!!! the whole car is going red.... I got 4lt of paint for free from a mate so may as well use it! What do ya think?? Pretty bright.... I sold the blacktop mate.... would have put it in but there is someting i like more about the silver top...... Dunno what tho?? haha

So a mate came over last night with a bottle of jack and this happened!!! Started of just wanting to tidy up the wireing loom and then figured with the new gearbox almost ready to go in why not just take the whole engine out! with the engine out icould get to the loom. Tangle of crazy wireing... so i spent most of the day today re-doing it nice and neat. Now i just need about 400 liters of degreeser and a brush to get the bay clean and it will be ready for paint! Loom!!! What it looks like now ready for a clean.

Thanks mate!! The battery relocation is fairly straight forward and costs not too much either. I got everything I needed from jaycar, cost me about $120ish the cable is the most expencive part!!! Check out the link below, thats almost exactly how i did mine except I didnt run my cable under the floor.... :D http://autospeed.com.au/cms/title_Relocating-the-Battery/A_110776/article.html

Car is looking awseome mate!!!! Bet ya can't wait for the 4age :yes:

Swwet pick up!! i'm not usually a fan of matching paint on engine components but the blue and silver look good together!!

Well after a few long weeks of no progress what so ever i've finally had some time to spend on the rolla!! Haven't done a lot just yet but been preparing for what is to come....... I bought these. And sent them away to get ceramic coated. Then i bought these cos i want more grip!!! and my tyres are about buggered... Then i bought this!!!! Really all i wanted it for was the gearbox. It's the c160 speed LSD so I'm pretty excited about that!! I Spent the last 2 days stripping the car and pulling out the engine. It has a few other bits i'm also thinking about converting over like the brakes, if they'll fit, and it has a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust that i'd like to see if i can mod to fit! The rest of it i'm parting out including the engine so if you interested in any parts i put up an add in the vehicles wrecking classifieds. Should have a heap more time to get things done on it over the next few weeks so i'll keep the updates coming!!
