You do realize this isn't a Drift forum, If you want Drift this isn't the place.

Nah not going for 260rwhp, 260 flywheel hp as it doesn't need much more than that in this car. I have all ready priced up my head work which includes: Rebuilt heads with all new valves and re cut seats, Gaskets, Shaving them down to get the compression ratio up and some light porting to take out casting marks etc. EDIT: That done for $600 - $700

We don't mind being asked questions but we would like to see some more initiative to find the answer's on your own. :P

You haven't looked hard enough coz twincam.org has plenty of people "doin up" ae92's It pays to be nice to people in life so you don't get f@$ked over when you need help. :P

Yeah i was on the side of the road in the middle of no where with no phone reception and a blown head gasket.

I haven't made up my mind yet, If i throw it into a right hand corner it will just spin up the inside wheel but if i throw into a left hander it will slide every single time ? I also need a head gasket change very soon. Des :P

I haven't driven a ralliart magna but i have driven a Magna se or some shit and mums 3.0 Camry is quicker, handles better and doesn't fall to bits, Mums Camry will smoke them up through 1st and half of 2nd and the magna wont even do a full 1st gear skid and it has a bigger engine, 3.5 Vs 3.0, 3.0 shits all over the magna. Des :jamie:

X2, Looks like a good base man, Can't go wrong with a ae71. Des :jamie:

Mate its been proven already with the balance shaft in and stock intake and stock cam, Plus doesn't the vvti 3.0 v6 in the late model Camry make 176kw which is 230 hp and its n/a and its stock so 260hp from a N/A 3.8 is definitely possible with out a massive cam, Do some research and talk to some people who know what they are doing with Buick engines and you will be surprised what 3.8 can handle and do. Thanks Casey, Yeah the hilux diff looks more promising that the VP diff strength wise and cost wise, Cam might come in later on if it needs it but it wont be massive duration as i would still be driving it every day. What size is the XF throttle body ? i think they are 70mm ? But anyway i can alloy weld to an acceptable standard now from my new job so I'm planning the twin throttle bodies which would contain twin 65mm throttles either on top of the plenum sticking through the bonnet or on the passengers side hanging over the fuel rail and under bonnet. Found a bloke that can do custom extractors from stainless i think he said, Ive seen his previous work and its the best i have ever seen will find a pic. Top work and good price as well. Servicing the beast tomorrow and got a K&N panel filter for the stock air box as a pod will just suck in hot air. Des :o PS: I got a diesel mechanic apprenticeship. f@$k yes.

The Corona sounds awesome when its bouncing off the limiter :jamie: Ive picked up a spare pair of VP heads and I'm going to get them rebuilt which is about $600 with all new valves etc. Once that is done I'm going to get them shaved down to get about 10.0 or 10.5:1 Compression ratio. Since the heads will be shorter I'm wanting different ratio rockers to get a bit more lift out of the valves. Remove the balance shaft. I'm thinking about twin throttle bodies but they will be sticking through the bonnet with exposed filters in which i would need a bonnet scoop to be remotely legal, And of last but not least custom extractors. Get the T700 rebuilt with a 1500 - 2000 rpm stally, Shift kit between 1st, 2nd and 3rd as there is no point in kitting over drive as it wont go in over drive with the pedal to the metal anyway. see if they can remove the locker clutches as well coz they don't get used now and wont be used ever again so why not remove them if possible. Thinking of getting a VP diff shortened down etc and fitting a LSD, estimate price is about $1800 for that but i could get a hilux diff done for the same price if not cheaper. With those engine mods i would be happy with 260hp and at least 400nm of torque and still be street able and nice to cruise around in. Thoughts ? and if you say V6's are shit and i should go 1g or 1j or whatever well you know where you can stick your idea :o Des

Yep, gasket is gone, Whip the head off, Get it skimmed, New gasket and whack it back on. Des :jamie:

Good to see a relatively new member coming out. Will say hi if i spot ya. Des :jamie:

Lol is my mark still there ? Any who, Spotted this Ke10 Tuesday i think. On Toombul Rd, Northgate.

Yup, Looks awesome.

Yeah i just saw the add aswell.

I had a quick look at them on my way out of Trev's work and they look awesome, can't wait till ya get some rubber for them and whack them on. Des :D

PIKER :) Nah its understandable. My Corona will be ready Friday, I wont be getting there till 5 or 5:30 now as I'm busy.

I've heard that Solex's go out of tune easier than Weber's etc but i have no proof or any more information, Just what i have read in a few post's.

Well done on winning the contest. Take heaps of pics and post them up especially of the Toyota F1 Factory.

Arrived for work 30 mins before they opened so i was bored. Corona dash, Note the time in the left hand corner, And no my engine doesn't rev to 7,500rpm Twin cannons on a lancer, The driver is hot but the car is not.

Got any more info on ya MIG or a link ?

What about a cut down pool stick ?

Haha thats awesome.

Leave it the way it is now, Looks awesome. Des :)

Dad reckons they will be fine as well so i will see how it goes. Should be getting the front end bits next weekend/23rd to be precise. I'm looking at buying a MIG welder as well, Any suggestions ? Des :)
