Looking the goods so far man! Keep it up

Yeah road trip would be good once i get it running and reliable! I was going to do it before i did the motor but i didn't trust the 3k! Good too see your making progress too! Confirmed two things tonight The first is that the yoke i bought from Hardy Spicer fits the aus spec t50, 22 spline, out of whatever it came out of and thats what box i am going to use!! And the second thing is that the manual tail shaft i have fits the 20 spline box out of the ta22 So basically i have two boxes which i can use if i have any drama's, woohoo!

Sam, Whats the meaning of life? ;)

Hopefully end of this month it should at least be running, a lot of stuff will be getting done in the next couple of weeks such as putting the mounts in and bolting the engine up, wiring, fitting the pedal box and hydraulics for the clutch, then around mid february Just Jdm should have the rest of the bits from japan that I am waiting on (alt bracker, altenator etc), tailshaft should be getting made too. Its all time and money really and there's too many damn events in feb like mates birthdays etc, I have two this weekend, doh! But I am picking up my flywheel etc while I'm there so it's kinda productive!! How's your beasties coming along?

Yeah I'll pm you after work mate. That bay has been setup for a future supercharger too.

Plans for the future look the good mate, keep us updated!

Here's my mates car

Have a search through the engine conversions thread, there is another thread about this where I posted pictures of my mates ke30 with a injected 5.0L on nos, tubbed, cage etc the plates are 'WHOSUP', the firewall was recessed around 325mm to fit the motor, if you can't find it I will post pics tonight when I get home, cheers.

Trust me, buy a complete motor! It will save you so many hassles, this car is doing my head in!

That is the f@$king best sticker ever, there's like a billion around in the gong!

Received some parts from Craig at Just JDM Imports today, He sent the parts very quickly and knows what he is on about!

Hey Rob, I'll have a look when i get home, the ta22 bell housing is physically a lot larger than my other one though. The ta22 is a 20 spline and my other is a 22 spline (on the tail shaft end of course), I'll check to see if either my manual or auto tail shaft fits direct onto the 20 spline. -Beau

Nice :) Almost time for auto? haha

Yeah i did want to go back a bit further for this reason, but its going to be up to my mate who is fabricating the mounts if he can come up with something suitable, i was going to run a remote oil filter because its in a bad spot for how we wanted to make the mounts up, but we are just going to work around it now. I'll keep you posted with the outcome anyhow, thanks mate! Well lets put it this way, i'm gonna make one good one out of the two! I'm going to use the dirty one at the top and use a few parts out of the bellhousing end from the ta22 spec one, cause I'm missing the little plate from the other. I have a manual and a auto tailshaft sitting in my garage so i guess one of them would have fit the 20 spline but this turned up today to use for the 22 spline (the top one) so i can get a custom tailshaft made up Also the bellhousing on the celica one is alot bigger too!

Thought so, so does that still class it a t50? thanks

Mate gave me another box tonight, not sure what its out of but its a 20 spline its the bottom one in the pic under my t50

So.... I have it sitting exactly where i want it mounted, not too far forward, but not right up against the firewall, i think i have around 5 to 5 and a half inches from the rear to the firewall. My mate drew up some templates of the mounts and is taking it to work to make them up. Also does anyone know what the mystery gearbox that he gave me is?

Good luck with the sale dude, looks overrated, I will own one of these one day!

Happy Australia day guys! Had some good news today! The 4x4 is gone...but i have another cheap daily to run around in for a while until my car gets on the road which is awesome because i was never going to finish it in the 4 week time frame that i was given! This gives me a bit more time to do things carefully and not rush it and make stupid mistakes.. Cheers Ryan, i'll find out about that thing tomorrow for you

So true, when i went to LA it was a real eye opener, I love going on holidays, but there is no place like home.

Looks hot dude, i usually hate tri spoke rims but i like these ones :dance:

Hey dude i think there was a RWD exhaust manifold on toymods and another on Ebay, have a quick look they were pretty cheap.

Future plans? :dance:

Anyone got specs on this thing?

Wow nice Bling bling! The whole car getting done like this or just the bay?
