April 5, 201016 yr comment_427155 thanks trd-ke70 is it possible to get in contact with person that made them, thanks for your help Report
April 5, 201016 yr Author comment_427416 Mick, medicine man on rollclub brought a set off a guy in Dunedin who still makes them, but it's only the manifolds with base plate i think. Talk to him or jump on K club, and do a search. Ours were a TRD set, they don't make them anymore!! Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_427450 Sheldon's on holidays in Aus at the moment so don't expect a reply anytime soon. And Mick E - he's not the sort of guy who like getting stuffed around so if you deffinately want a set save up, contact him and purchase. Don't be asking him heaps of questions an try and barter price cause he'll loose interest real quick. :blush: Oh and he's in Oamaru not Dunedin. Edited April 6, 201016 yr by Taz_Rx Report

April 11, 201016 yr Author comment_428836 Thanks, it's coming together slower than expected, but it all takes time. Should be sweet when she's finished. So this weekend saw the diff all painted and reassembled, just waiting for Tony to finish the trailing arms. have started to run the wiring, but had to stop and mock up the engine and gearbox to make sure I got all the wiring right, hate having to pull shit apart to correct stuff. So this gave us the chance to pull some of the goodies out and trial fit them. Report

April 11, 201016 yr comment_428872 the new shell, if you can call it that.Body deadening removed from the inside, hello just wondering how did you get the body/sound deadening out as i have a ae71 that i'm basicly rebuilding and want to take the deadening out. Also with the seam welding is that just welding most of the edges, sorry if this is a waste of your time its just that I'm new to the corolla/project car thing. thanks and much appreciated Sam Report
April 11, 201016 yr comment_428917 Looking awesome, what kind of pipes you running on this beast 4-2 or 4-1's? Loving the integrated tri brace too :bash: rolla__madd: I'm pretty sure the trick is dry ice and a hammer and chisel, it'll make the tar brittle and it'll snap into bits rather than smearing. Report
April 11, 201016 yr Author comment_428989 Thanks Beerhead, that's the old cage from the old car, tri brace was always in there, but because the cage is MANZ and NOT CAMS approved we can run it, if we had a CAMS cage we couldn't, (Stupid f@$ken cams) Sam, beerhead is right about the dry ice, it's the easiest way to remove sound deadening from the inside of the car, for the underneath we use wire bushes on drills and grinders, then paint thinners to remove the last of it, big job!! Seam welding is where you do weld MOST of the seams, not fully, but just stitch welding, so every 25-30mm you have a weld. You don't need to weld every seam, just the important ones, these would be the ones that will add strength to the body shell. Have a look through some of the earlier photos and you'll see where we have welded, to get an idea. Report
April 12, 201016 yr comment_429058 Damnit, you're turning this thing into my dream project car! So what's the plan for the drive line? What sort of specs, if you don't mind? :bash: Report
