mackay in north qld

yes and it will be a go hard or go home job cus once started its either finished ..... or scraped .... and yes there will be silly hours spent... and ty towe re the 4wd diff !

thanks sam for some detailed fed back ... the rear end is going to be the toughest part no doubt....ae 95 4wd diff great idea... i am thinking that if i go with the rwd that i will buy another daily driver so that i don't have to walk lol... with all in mind that you have said sam i think the plan will be strip the old girl out and play with a few options in the diff department as i am lucky enough to have a mate that manages a wrecking yard so i will be able to borrow a diff here and there to get an idea of what will be the best one to use.

was thinking that (yet to look at it closly ) useing a commodore front strut as to be able to running vt rotors and callipers ... hence a shortend lsd commodore diff ... giving it 4 w disc and lsd ... an d a shortend tail shaft ... you may think why the fascination with commodore .... I'm thinking cost ... to buy a wrecked vs manual would cost around 500 to 750 mark ... yes some cost involed with the shorting of diffs and sharts but the bulk cost of the motor ,box , ecu ect ect is far cheaper then jap half cuts and also long tern part are cheap and easy to get .... thought s?

i have a tank already but ty for the helpful feed back

that is the thing ... i know that the work wll be very time consuming ..... thats why i was thinking if i want rwd i need a rwd to start with ..... as for staying fwd traction is my biggest thing as it is with 205/45/16 the bog stocker will spin all over the place on a hard launch ..... YES I KNOW ITS THE DRIVER B4 YOU ALL JUMP IN !!!!!... lol but even so with the best efforts you still lose alot of the line .... my ? is other then take off with a powerful fwd can you get it on the road as good as a rwd ...... i want to build something i can drive the ass out of ...

budget atm is 5K ... what i can do welding and fab work .. all parts fitting (large to small) and wiring . the only covertion i have done to date is rb 30 motor and driveline plus full side to side dash into vh commodore ....

i know if i truly do want to go this way it would be a damm site easier to base it on a ke 55 or 70 ..... but i love the shape of the ae 92 seca ....

as for what id like .... rwd v6 manual .... i think it would be one quick car and a hell of alot of fun to drive

4a fe .... 223 kms but still strong ... if i use this motor with boost needless to say it will come out and have the time and coin spent on it.... other thought i have had would be a 1mz but thinking i might lack the room for it .... ? as for the rwd idea i know it would be a lot of work but i guess I'm hook on the shape of the car ..... the biggest issue with that idea is by the time i put a tunnel in for it will i get the seats back in so that they are not sitting to high

no not new to mechanics... more to the point looking at bang for buck .... if others have tried any of the options id like to hear about it and yes money will come into it ...... as will switching to an older rolla if i go down the path of rwd ... i guess I'm more looking to see the options vs what i can do my self .... i hope this helps some what ... would like to have something a little different but not at the price of a new car lol

could try sss automotive parts ....after market but . cheap on the coin

looking to give the old girl a little kick ... thinking turbo current motor .... or full convertion fwd turbo.... or rwd and motor convertion .... any one tried or done any of the above ,....
