Fisher and myself have decided to have a little fun with an AE71 Spirit. Firstly made possible by Fisher getting another daily (RA40 Celica).
The stripping has been done, with the cleaning still happening (got to love getting rid of lovely fur and glue :P) and also a few more electrical wires and bolts to be taken out, but we would rather take our time on that side.
The motor will be a 2TG, which has plans for a full rebuild with porting, shaving, racing cams, fuel injection and a supercharger. At the moment it looks like an Eaton M45 S/C will be adapted to be suitable for the 2TG with no intercooler as this stage. Extractors are already equipped, just need to make a 'straight through' pipe to suit.
All struts are getting custom coilover kits and custom springs with a brake upgrade by Fishers old man. Still considering options on that front, however currently the rear diff and brake setup is from a TA22 Celica. However we are considering maybe using an MA61 diff.
Rear panhad rod and strut brace will also be custom made and fully adjustable. Front strut brace will be bought from AJPS most likely at this stage.
It looks like a half cage will go in (talking to a couple of company's about a setup recently) with a Velo racing seat and harness to suit.
After all the body work is done it will also be getting a full respray.
It will slowly come together over the next few months and shall be quite a learning experience for the both of us :P
Cheers . . . Fisher and Fusion
