Have seen where the flexi line to the slave has collapsed in the inside, not very common but symptoms are the same. Oh and give it a bleed before you pull anything apart.

I think the code is AA = peak white

Hard to find engine parts for them now. Had an engine that needed pistons, had to get them from the US. Sorry mate, but old,out of date and HEAVY!!, there's a lot better engine out there.

Only if you get caught!! :lolcry: and what Trev said, T18 for head gasket and stuff!!
-
yeah mate, all luck, no skill!! :lolcry:
-
there could be one come up for sale again if someone doesn't hurry up and pay for it!! :blush:
-
Trev, i thought the same, but to my surprise it released really easily. Still had to use wedges on it but after splitting the bumper sides, it came away fine. The mould has come out better than i expected it too, i thought there would be heaps to clean up and repair.

Started the fiber glass mould today for the front bumper. Doesn't look the prettiest but it's only a mould, as long as the inside is nice. I'm thinking it'll get plenty of use!! :lolcry:

Have heard of them been bored to 82mm, but that was using 4AGE pistons and rods. I think ACL make a set of +60's for them too.

Well got most of the inside of the car finished today. I think there is only the door handle pockets to sort out and get some seat belts and it'll be finished on the inside. Fitted up the rear screen as the back panel has all been sealed in and cleaned all the windows, what a difference that makes. Shortened up the battery leads, more weight out of the car!! :lolcry: Refitted the fuel tank after cleaning the inside of the boot and Tony fitted the boot pins as well. Made a start on the fiberglass moulds for the bumpers too.

Thanks Guys Feels like we are on the home stretch with this now. :hmm: Anyhow, seat mounts are just about done. Had to lighten/modify them, as they weren't that nice and still had a lot of weight in them. But happy with how they have turned out, apart from having to weld a mounting nut inside the car. :bash:
-
Back panel is finally installed, after much F**king around trying to get the shape right. Quite happy with the end result, had to remove the fuel tank and some wiring, but that's well on it's way to being put back together. Should have the back door panels finished tomorrow, if i pull my finger out!! :yes: So then that's most of the interior stuff done, another big step forward, means we can also mount the seats. Trev: as they say, it's only got to look good until the first corner, and knowing Tony that'll be about right!! :lolcry:

Electrical signal from the coil, cables are for OLD diesels!!

Yeah sure thing, I'd like to see what you and your dad have done. :yes: Today saw the completion of the dash, after 2 attempts to get the switches working(F**ked switch in the end) they are all working. Had a play with the rev limiter as well, nice bit of kit!! With the dash finished, I moved on to some small shit, fitting the co-drivers foot rest(commonly known as the Passenger brake) :lolcry: ,grip taping the floor(still need to do the drivers side), and wiring the Terratrip reset button. The back panel and back door panels should be just about finished tomorrow, then it'll be on to making the bumper moulds and the kevlar sump guard.
-
Half the back panel is now fitted!! Will make a start on the other half tomorrow. Finished fitting the switches and rev limiter to the dash, just need to wire them in and then the whole dash can be screwed together. Also making a start on the mould for the carbon/kevlar sump guard tomorrow or monday. Hopefully it'll be strong enough to cop the abuse.
-
Just a small update. Half the back panel is well on it's way to been fitted, decided to make this in 2 pieces, easy to make and easy to remove if we have too. Also fitted a little carbon fiber to the dash to carry the switches for the driving lights, engine fan,internal fan and to carry the shift light/rev counter. Battery clamp for the HUGE battery was made and the battery screwed down. Matty, Over xmas the plan is to make the moulds for the fiber glass bumpers and bang out 2 bumpers, once that has been done we'll be concentrating on the interior, which would be the seat mounts and then fitting of the seats and belts. Hoping to send the car out in January to get the exhaust done as well. Slo, keep up the good work mate, love the build and the quality.
-
oh you can feel the LOVE!! :lolcry: Thanks Matt for your vote, but i think there's better rides out there. Slo's 38 is a nice build, really well done.
-
What's the worlds largest selling car? It isn't a dunnydore, Falcoon, or a VW It's a corolla!! 35 million sold!!! Why do you think i own a corolla?
-
Thanks Matt, it is technical i guess, as the car hasn't been driven yet!! Can we move it back to rides after it's first rally?
-
Oil pressure relief valve could be stuck open.

Taz, yeah you are the same as us, it's about building a good car, and a car we want to build, not a car limited by the regulations as it previously was. CAMS still doesn't recognize the 4AGE as a common conversion, but you can put a 3SGE into a Celica and that's OK. Matty, comes from a place called C&G composites in Hendra(Brisbane), they are really helpful and full of advice. Please we motivate you!! And ROB, go f@$k yourself!!!
-
LOL, because I hate thinking about it!!
-
Both front door panels are now done and just need to be fixed to the doors. Have started on the rear door panels, hopefully they'll be ready to cut out tomorrow(Sunday). Then we'll mould the rear panel, have something special planned for that!! Oh, we cut the CF with a grinder with a 1mm cut off wheel. And sorry can't tell you what we have spent on CF.
