Very very very cool!

I loled.

This stuff smells amazing: I can't stand the new car smell either, it makes me feel sick.

I do want your steering wheel!

That's fast! When are you getting coilovers? Shorty get low.

I though it was meant to be a tight fit as well but it really isn't, it's at least 1mm too big. What do you mean by 'locators'? Oh by the way I have those springs and helper springs here, I'll bring them up with me on the weekend. I've got 200mm 7.5kg/mm springs and 200mm 8kg/mm springs, plus helper springs, random upper spring seats and some old D2 camber plates. I'll bring it all and you can take your pick :)

It's a track car but I still need to be able to register it otherwise I'll have no way of getting it to the track :no2: So there goes cutting the firewall lol. Also what do people think I should do with the coilovers struts: cut, shorten and re-weld the top of the strut back on as to retain the original threaded section of the tube(remember that the T3 sleeve kit does not actually weld to the strut and therefore provides no reinforcement to the strut after it has been cut/welded)? OR Shorten the strut tube and cut a new thread into the top of the strut?(this is what I would rather do, and I would cut the course Toyota thread into it so I could use the gland nuts supplied with whatever shock I use, but I'm not sure where to get a like ~48mm female thread cut? Any ideas?)

I can't weld it on I don't think, it's some sort of alloy? It came with a little steel seat that you weld onto the strut and then the coilover sleeve just sits on top of that. I'm not sure what I'd pay for a 4AGE from the wreckers, I didn't ask. But I think it would be easiest to buy one from there so that I could get the loom, ecu, and everything to go with it. Either that or I could just buy a complete FWD corolla with a 4AGE in it, I see those for so cheap sometimes! ooo0 that 20v seems pretty cheap. I might look into what's involved in doing the 20v conversion.

Jacob you should defs come help out when I bring it down! Yeah abbott that's what I want to do as well, there would be no issues with wheels hitting guards anymore(once I get wider wheels that is haha). Spence I'm going to keep an eye on your thread to see how you go with it.

So I started making some coilovers today. So far I've only cut the spring seat of the AE86 struts and tested to see how the T3 sleeves fit. The T3 sleeve doesn't fit very tight, I may have to cut up some aluminium cans to fit in between the sleeve and the strut. Here you can see the sleeve rattle on the strut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH-w1ZNKz_c

lol. Do you think I should give it a try? It doesn't seem hard, it just seems like it would take a long time. I recall someone on here made fibreglass panels for their track car and the turned out pretty good. It does seem pretty easy hey Abbott.

That's what I've been thinking, I'm not particularly interested in spending lots of money on performance parts just yet. I just want to get the engine in and get in going, so basically I'm just going to use standard parts. I'm sure a standard 4AGE is going to be a massive improvement on the original 4K anyway, and that will probably keep me happy for a while. Also I'm thinking of making some fibreglass panels, it doesn't seem all that hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwL0T47Qjs8&feature=player_embedded Thanks to Spencer for posted this video the other day, I think it's pretty cool and I want to give it a try.

It looks cool Reed, I'm glad you finally found a KE70. I wish I was coming on the cruise to see it! I'll be watching this thread to see what you do with it :y:

When did you get this? And how? And when? And off who? And how? And does it go? And other questions and stuff?

ZOMG! What is going on here?!

I'm going to try this with my track car, thanks for posting man.

I haven't thought about the extractors yet, I'll probably just use any that I can find. It's an ADM box so yeah slave cylinder is on the passenger side. So the banjo fitting is just so that the clutch soft line doesn't hit the exhaust? That is really helpful Dave, thanks for posting the picture. I'll have to look into it. I'm thinking about bringing the brown KE70 down to my parents house to do some work on it, I'm moving out of my house in Brisbane soon anyway so I'll have to move it. I also had a look for a 4AGE in all the corollas at the wreckers today but couldn't find one, I don't even have enough money to buy one at the moment anyway so that's alright.

I thought of bending it but was worried it would kink or crack, did you heat it to bend it or just bend it cold? I've seen SQ Engineering do braided brake lines for a reasonable price, might get one of those.

Went to the wreckers today to check out the T18, they are currently pulling out the pedal box for me. Just a bummer that the clutch line goes to the wrong side of the gearbox, so now I have to find a clutch line or have one made, do you just go to brake/clutch shops to have them made? Edit: Does anyone have a T50 clutch fork they want to sell?

^winning

I like the plans!

Yeah it was a bank transfer, I will give the police a call tomorrow, thanks Spencer. I've seen that a fair few other people got ripped off as well, even on ae86dc. Why couldn't I have found out before I decided to buy something off him!! :bash: Oh well, there is a T18 at one of the wreckers around here so I may just get the pedal box out of that and try and modify it to fit, and I'll get the clutch line while I'm at it.

So I probably got ripped off by that DRFTR guy, and that means that I will need to find another pedal box. I am so annoyed right now.

I'm currently in the process of reversing my transaction with him, any details would be much appreciated!
