robj Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Hi. Not really computer literate, but finally got some pics of my car. I drove it up and down my deadend road, a bit of fun! Driveline has a Gen 2 3sge from a MR2 SW20. w58 gearbox shortened tailshaft (corona-) RA23 t series diff, standard celica (yet do LSD). Suspension / brakes Coilovers front, revalved Koni's ST141 stuts, pueguot discs, hilux calipers extra leaf in rear, koni reds Hilux master cylinder, remote booster. a heap of custom bits for this conversion. Thanks to a couple of mates for helping with all this stuff (jonny rochester and aaron martin) Edited September 10, 2010 by robj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Why'd you cut a huge hole in the firewall for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robj Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yep, weight back, and the belhousing hit the drag link when turning sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Interesting. I've seen it done and fitted to a KE25 race-car without any firewall mods and the car was very successful. Thats why I asked :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 This car is so awesome!!!, Now i want a 3SGE in my 25. Great work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Wow, This rolla is going to shock a few people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robj Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I probably just could have done the motor in it without the firewall mods, but then the pickup in the dizzy would have to be moved (possible to front of cam, or crank angle senor. But the wieght further back looked good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Looks really well done, is this going to be a streeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robj Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Looks really well done, is this going to be a streeter? It'll be my car to get to work in. I'll try it around the track, but that's not it's main purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anastasios Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 hey mate what front springs are you using? and also with the rear leaf setup how does it handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Rochester Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I have done alot of work on this car. Nearly finnished, only a few more years to go now... If has a Wolf 3D v3 and I have tuned it with the hand controler so it idles and can be driven up the driveway. Once Rob gets the doors on and some rego we can take it on the road and complete the tune. Suspension is sort of done, won't know for sure till be drive it. Need to change steering knuckles still. Also we will put flares on the wheel arches as the current tyres would hit at the rear as you can see, without alot of flaring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Rochester Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Front springs are King 65mm ID coilover springs. Rate is roughly 325lb/in. Struts are XT130 Corona shortened a bit with Koni inserts to suit SV21. Sigma lower control arms. Plus Noltech adjustable strut tops. Rear suspesnion is a extra leaf, leaves reset a bit. And big lowering blocks. ... I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
