    Hi guys, Does anyone had or know the solution to my problem on the crank gear

     

    So I'm running a 1.8 gl 3t motor stock with viper exhaust manifold only. Standard gear box.

     

    So this is what i am currently experiencing....was driving and doing some robot to robot racing and a spinning too...after doping that whist driving when changing gears whilst clutch pushed in

    Before changing i can feel from the pedal a vibration a sound also does this when driving at around 80/100MPH when leaving the accelerator that a rrrrr sound if I’m in neutral and

    Just rev high when the rpm drops that sound is evident.

     

    i was driving and suddenly no clutch anymore . I was thinking it was clutch gone.... dropped gear box and clutch was fine and pressure plate.

     

    The problem is on the ring gear the teeth look fine but its quite heavy weight is similar to the clutch or a just a bit heavier..the 6 bolts on the ring gear thread was worn out

    So at a nuts and bolts store but slight longer bolts with spring washer and locktite and re assembled and everything was 100%

     

    No sound everything soft and smooth....drove a bit rough again and spin just at one cornet not much and then that sound came back. Those bolts fitted are still new thinking

    Something is casing the ring gear to come loose what can it be ? crank gear crank not sure

     

     

     

    Another ring gear. I want to use the car for racing and spinning and want to ensure if I’m doing this the bolts on the ring gear holds ?

    Hi guys.

     

    so my ride is back on the road. The problem was fixed had to drop motor. the crank gear was the problem was sitting in the gearbox and bolts were not tightened. Well bought new bolts and fitted everything back everything is 100%.

    just need to get a starter i am now push starting. The lucas starter replaced solenoid and bought bushes but tested on

    battery work but when i put the starter back not click on ignition completely dead ...could it be the armature or does it nead

    a clean up?

    Hi guys

     

    So my mechanic has done a check for me and his findings are.

     

    My starter needs replacing as its burnt out so the car does not start tried towing to start still doesnt

    he says my ring gear is turning and it should turn the fan whilst car off but if he turns ring gear its turning but fan is not.

     

    so he is saying i need to drop the motor to check? my motor could be gone is this true ?

    Hi rolla club hope everyone is doing well.

     

    my 1983 toyota ke70 ignition shocked me.

     

    this car is so easy to steal. I was filling my car with gas and took out the key the car was still on.. used my house key to switch off and on and

    the car started.

     

    what can be done for best security for ignition. change to a new ignition or from another toyota ?

     

    i normally take the rotor out if i am at a high risk area.

    this past weekend rev the motor to 9rmp after that when starting her up in the morning or driving and changing gears

    their is a grrrr sound vibration....so if i rev no sound when the rev drops checked and seen that the fan has slight vibration

    6 fin can it be the fan or pulley?

     

    was told that if i take the fan belt out and the noise is still there than it is timing chain ?

    motor

    I was advise not to change as the standard 3 motor very strong.

    I have done viper branches you y call them extractors..gong to put a freeflow exhaust system not sue the setup of this as the sound looking for is more muscular v8 not sure if I can get this ?

    gong to put weber car no sure if I should get 38 40 45 or double carb ?

    going to gas flow head ported/ and 268 cam?

    40 side drafts is delloroto a good brand ?

     

    will this give e decent power as its a every day drive but also want it quick robot to robot.

    I was told to shorten the conrods and change the gearbox to 1300 because of shorter gear ratios also was told to

    make the ring gear thinner for higher revs and to be quicker is this true ?

    want o also drift and spin at shows will I be able or need more power ?

     

    suspension & brakes

    do I need any upgrades on diff mods brakes ?

     

    instrument cluster
