dude those wheels look exceptional :P

just keep washing it and it will look shiney at all times

yeah I did..like a t-50 gear box and a couple of heads. hahahha

if anyone has a T50 gearbox they're planning on parting with, pls let me know (from an AE71 or AE86 - NOT from a celica)

Installing a stereo

 

Anyone have any suggestions on how to re-install the centre console? can't figure it out

Edited October 23, 200817 yr by sleepy92

are those wheels the ones off millers old ke35?

 

looks good man, hope you go through with your plans

i got sick of my 35, and decieded to get something different

they are the wheels off miller's ke35... bought them off ChrisGT when he upgraded his wheels

 

i'm personally a massive fan - they look mad on this car

 

what made you get sick of the ke35?

 

edit: found a missing bracket that allowed me to get the centre console semi-mounted... anyone remember how to attach the front brace to the console to completely secure it?

 

thanks... mark

the drift sensation.

 

that and i really don't have the money to do it how i want to now, and getting sick of it sitting there looking ugly,

would rather just fix it (restore to stock) and sell her to someone who really wants it

installed a Pioneer headunit + 4" front spkrs + 6"x9" rear spkrs on monday.... sounds good considering what i spent getting it!

 

Looking for someone who's selling:

 

T50 from sprinter or ae71

Diff from TA22, RA23 etc Celica

4A RWD engine mounts

 

or anything else that might be useful for 4A conversion

Conversion is under way as of today...

 

I'll begin a bit of a diary as soon as i start snapping some pictures

this will make a tidy little project most 35's that i have looked at are full of rust, this one looks quiet tidy. I look forward to watching the progress.

the body is a bit rougher than i'd like, but cleaning it up is next on the list after getting the drivetrain upgraded

 

alternately, if anyone has a clean ke35 or ke55 hardtop shell that the want to part with, let me know :yak:

Progress so far:

 

1. T Series Diff from RA23 Celica - spring mounts and torsion bar mounts have been cut off. Leaf Spring Platforms have been welded in place. Leaf Springs are in the process of being reset. Anyone looking to do a T-Series diff conversion into a leaf sprung KExx will need to get larger U-Bolts to fit around the larger diameter diff housing.

 

2. Original Crossmember modifications and new engine mounts fabricated. Doing this has allowed me to mount the engine lower and further back towards the firewall. Hoping this improves my handling due to lower centre of gravity, and less weight in front on the front axle

 

3. Intake Modifications - (pics soon)

 

4. SC14 - strangely enough, the SC14 fits better (pics soon)

 

 

Still to be done:

 

1. Tailshaft (from Celica... Celica T50 has different spline, so i need to get the AE86 front end put on so it fits the sprinter T50)

 

2. Fuel System

 

3. Wiring

 

4. Finish Hydraulic Clutch

 

5. Finish Supercharger Piping

 

6. Exhaust

Tailshaft is completed

 

Hydraulic Clutch setup is nearly done

 

Exhaust is going to be a bit of a dodgey home job til i can afford to do it proper. any suggestions on how to get a nice balance between quietness and airflow in my exhaust, i'd love to hear it. When i had the GZE in my ae92 hatch, it droned like a mofo at highway speeds, and was generally way louder than i wanted. i want it to be as subtle as possible

Nice ride

should go hard when your done. be good to see & hear it finished.

I have been looking for a immaculate hardtop / hardtop shell for 2 years, they seem to rust unless dry stored, look at the front chassis rails if they are OK you are normally on a winner.
