wasfishing Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 hey I'm bizzak, looks like u got good plans adam i need to go faster
ancullen Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 Sweet - someone to talk to! :jamie: I've got an email back from Harrop Engineering (CAPA never responded), and they say that the Eaton M90 blower is too big, plus the Commodore version (which is a third gen - they're now about to release the sixth gen) can only do about 12psi before it starts getting too inefficient. So I'll have to rethink a little bit. In other news, I'm on the look out for an ST141 Corona Avante automatic, or just the whole diff assembly (axles, diff housing, internals, brakes). I think one of these would be perfect for the AE71 - they're meant to come with an LSD centre, plus they've got disc brakes, it's stronger than an AE71 diff, and it's wider which should improve handling a bit (it's not TOO wide though).
wasfishing Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 kool my car has big plans, panel work fixed up all steering and suspention bits fixed, then i wnat to put the pulley on so i guess i will need to do my zuast as it feels very restrictive as it is without extra boost, and then ill need to install my squirters for the cooler and then go and buy myself a boss kit so i can put on my smaller steering wheel and get some decent tyres, then ill fix the aircon i guess.
wasfishing Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 Plus i need some decent brake pads what should i get?
ancullen Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 Bendix Ultimates are pretty popular, but apparently create a lot of dust and have been known to warp standard rotors. Of course, if you want good braking, the pads are going to create heat. If sticking to Bendix brand, the next model down from the Ultimates are meant to be good, but obviously not as powerful as the Ultimates, but not a dusty or as hot either. I'd check American sites to find out what they use on their MR2's as there seems to be more info on them over there.
Pure-SX Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 lol nice to talk to u guys again lol havnt been on here in ages. I NEED MY CAR TO GO FASTER VROOM VROOM lol but I am broke :y:
ancullen Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 I'm sure we can all relate to that. I'm slowly saving up money, but am wondering if I'm going to have the funds to do the AE71 the way I want. I'm going to have to look into how much it'll take to get the KE55 running right.
wasfishing Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 BOOOO :y: Car is lookin super sexy no more big dent just needs to be painted and a few other small bits fixed n ill be set. Is this nation motoring heritage day still goin ahead? $800 quote from tpl Zaust but apparently i should do the intercooler first. grr someone find me a liberety W2A intercooler PLEASE!
ancullen Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 National Motoring Heritage Day is going ahead as far as I know, but RollaClub is NOT doing a club display. I kind of forgot about the whole thing to be honest as I had a whole lot of things happening (job change etc) and neglected to do anything about it. Last I heard (which was a while back), the National Motoring Heritage Day is on Sunday 20 May. There is also meant to be another Shannons Motoring Extravaganza (car show) on the 2nd & 3rd of June. Last year's event rocked, so it'll be good to see it again, hopefully bigger and better. Sorry to anyone that was hoping to show their vehicle in the heritage day, but I think it was only you left Shane.
ancullen Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 BTW, just noticed your comment about the Liberty intercooler. You can buy the intercooler cores fairly cheap off eBay (brand new). You then just need to fit up a little radiator & water pump (electric). It might actually be a better option as a). it'll be brand new, and b). you can buy something that will fit your rather tight engine bay just right. Are you going to front mount the radiator and have long water lines, or get a really tiny one and mount it in your engine bay? Remember long water lines won't have any effect on lag, but long air hoses (from the s/c to intercooler and intercooler to intake) will.
wasfishing Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 ooo adam let me down car just got looking good. OOO OOO might b gettin my old rolla bak, for real cheap awsome.
ancullen Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 How come you might be getting the AE82 back? New owner grown tired of it too now?
wasfishing Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 new owner brought a proton lol, n yea wikid
ancullen Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 Oooh, Proton. :yes: Unless it's a Satria GTi, it's not worth knowing about. My brother-in-law bought a Gen2, and while the standard handling is excellent (it shits all over my 2003 Corolla), the interior is crap quality, head space in the rear is appalling, and acceration leaves a fair bit to be desired.
