i was hoping for some pics at least..

Shit lucky mine was only a wooden telegraph pole. Any news on the damage we can't see?

Damn that sucks but it should be alright, get you head under it n check the rail on the drivers side.. You havent crashed a car till you've snapped a telegraph pole in half so chin up.

I didnt know the show was still in existence, only watched a bit of it until they tried test the stretch hummer..

interesting graph have you got any ideas why its doing that? also what is the difference with the green and red run?

Nice car looks good in the videos, that extra power comes along way on track days. Should try get some photos up aswell.

The interior looks plain but in a good way, i think i will be getting some new carpet for sure. Did you end up picking up the 9inch diff?

yeh i had a look its a pretty tight fit to get the rail out, i figure since the motor isnt in yet i may aswell split the plenum and remove the injectors with the rail still mounted be easier than having the rail out of the car. Ive done a few on a s13 and its a piece of cake but the s14 motor is similar to a vl where the rail sits under the plenum. Yeh the main reason i moved the oil drain is I'm pretty sure the t3 died cause it couldnt get rid of the oil in time and ended up pooling around the bearing, not about to take a chance with a new turbo.

Just a quick update. I got started on getting the new engine mounts sitting as low as possible, had a friend come over and help out. I decided to cut up the xmember and redo the mounts lower, only managed to get one side done before we lost light. I would of prefered to have it a bit further back but my tailshaft would need to get shortened again so i decided against it. One of the welds didnt take as well as we had hoped, possibly cause the metal was dirty, damn stick welder :) Still happy with how its turning out. Also my new injectors should be turning up soon so ill get them in asap, it seems the engine has to be lifted past the brake master to get the plenum off and change the injectors. :y:

If you have your heart set on a corolla buy a built ke70 or ae86, alot come up for sale on ae86dc. Are you planning to keep the car registered or a dedicated track car?

They are a good diff for the price. also some info that will help you. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...ost&p=84674

Nice looking ride. Looks like the ###### rx7 calipers and brackets, redrilled civic rotors and I'm guessing the coilovers are also ######. The rx7 calipers are great i run a set on my vl and it pulls up without trouble after i got some QFM pads in there. edit: forgot thats a forbidden word around here.

Nice, i just extended the wires and relocated it :) i also added about 6 parker globes on the pcb as it allocated for it, originally it had 2 really weak ones could never see it at night. Also just picked up some nismo 555s for $300 so I'm pretty happy about that, i think the n/a bottom end will self destruct around 200rwkw anyway, hopefully not before i build the spare det block i have. Yeh i still have the VLT but its waiting for a blueslip at my friends workshop, thats going to be my daily for a few months to come.

I've Been lurking around these forums for a little while so I thought I would post up a small project entry. I bought this car off a friend of a friend, it already had the motor in the car although there were many corners cut. I blew the standard diff within 2 nights of owning the car, got another standard one for the time. It originally ran a rb25 T3 though the seals blew and I figured it was a good excuse to start with the upgrades. Specs as of now. Car: 81 KE55 XX Coupe Motor & Driveline: S14 SR20DE w/ VCT, S14 gearbox, GT28RS .86 rear, Standard det exhaust manifold, custom dump pipe, 3" exhaust, 450x300x76 fmic. Fuel System: 555cc nismo injectors, 100lph lift pump, surge tank, 2xVLTurbo fuel pumps in parallel Cooling System: Standard radiator w/ thermo fan Suspension & Brakes: Front: JDM Sprinter struts, discs, callipers, MR2 short stroke shocks, Pedders springs, sigma LCA, RA40 tie-rods, Rear: reset leafs, Suzuki sierra short strokes Wheels & Tyres: front: 15x7 ssr reverse mesh. Rear: 15x7 watannabe's Interior: fixed back seats up front, few gauges, speco meter tacho modified into cluster, quick release bosskit, aftermarket steering wheel Body: chrome bars with plastic ends, few dings and some rust Other: haltech E6X, haltech EBC, CIG locker Future Mods: Slotted rotors up front Volvo diff Bigger radiator Repair rust Cusco adjustable strut tops Quickview of the front The rear after I got a chrome bar off KE Ping it real. The Instrument cluster I made up while off work. After removing the old T3 I had a brain snap and decided to fix a few things up.. this is the sorry state of the engine mount, also the oil return into the sump makes me uneasy. After tapping the return into the correct spot Installed some rocker arm stoppers while everything was apart And resealed everything as I had oil leaks from every spot you could imagine. This is how the motor stands at the moment. I bought some TA22 engine mounts and another set of unmolested SR engine brackets. A mate is coming over next week with his welder so we are going to modify the subframe mounts. The work has been a bit slow as I broke my ankle a few months ago in a motorbike accident. Should be back into full force after the Xmas break. Thats it for now, thanks to everyone who I have bothered with questions so far. I will update this as more progress happens. George.

Haha cats are so awesome.

did any of the mechanics try to pressure test the cooling system?

Finally found a picture of my two kitties, both girls though i want a male one next they always get so much fatter.

holy shit.. can you get some more pictures from inside where the firewall has been removed, also one of exhaust manifold clearance. The thing will be an animal to drive even in stock trim.

The motor in question is a DE, you can see it in the pictures. A VE motor is from a FWD (possibly AWD) car, The easiest way to spot the difference it has the dizzy running off the exhaust cam near cyl 4 and would hit the firewall, plenum faces the opposite way etc.

The Autech sr20de has a higher comp at 11:1, where as yours has 10:1 and sr20det have 8.5:1. S13 sr20de has 9.5:1 iirc..

+1 "green.. green is niccceee" i love the movie cause it has random spots from my local area.

A mate and I have been doing it, got snapped in the cross one night both pretty wasted with dirty tashes.. I'm on the right with my effort.

Props for working in the rain, ive done it a few times nothing worse than having to get under the car on wet ground. what management are you running i couldn't find it in the thread.

Pet birds are the bomb, i wish i could get another one but both my cats would make a meal of it :dance:

Looks like she has a bangin body and she had a friend too! Looking very nice now, i prefer the cooler hiding behind the bar (if you can call it that) As for price? Its so hard to say cause everyone is going to lowball you, having seein the car in the flesh i reckon anything under 10k is a steal although its only worth what someone is willing to pay :dance: p.s just keep it chicks love old rollas
