anastasios Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Car looks great, where do you source your TRD gear from? I'm looking to build my AE71 very similarly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sorry mate, but Toyota have stopped making parts for AE86's and KE70's. Most of our stuff was brought before they stopped making it. If you are lucky you may find some old stock. It's that bad that we are know looking at repairing our old TRD rally shocks ourselves. We turned the end off one the other weekend and stripped it down, interesting to see that there isn't much inside of there. But the valve body is where it all happens. The shock we stripped had blown the oil and gas out due to damage on the shaft, we have found someone to repair the shaft and have hopefully found a new seal. We'll do the rest ourselves, including oil and regasing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD ke70 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Fiber glass bonnet almost ready to be painted, next to do a boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Bonnet almost finished, just need to paint the under side and it can go on the car. Started on making the mould for the boot as well. Hopefully the engine block will be back from getting tanked and surfaced tomorrow and we can start on stitching that back together.

snot35 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 How much weight are you saving with the bonnet? Are TRD shocks hard to strip down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not sure on how much weight yet, i'll have to get the scales out and check it, would be thinking around 10kg's. The TRD shocks are a sealed unit, we had to put it in the lathe and turn the bottom off it to get access to everything inside. Should be fun putting it back together, but i have worked out how TRD done it, so hopefully shouldn't be a problem. I'll try and get some photos up of it pulled apart.

snot35 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I wondered how rebuildable they were. Twin tube also, interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausca62 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Anyhow, Tony is still turning up the housings for the spherical bushes while I finished mounting the pedal box and screwing all the cylinders into place. Yip, that took me all day!!! :lolcry: Hi mate, firstly I have to say, LOVE YOUR WORK. It is one flash bit of gear. I was just wondering if you had any photo's of the brake pedal box before you fitted it. I am very interested in doing simmilar on my KE20. Thanks. Paul.

TRD ke70 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks Paul I do believe i only have these photos. The biggest thing is the pedal ratio, i think we had to move our pivot point up to get a 5 -1 ratio, pedals like it's boosted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD ke70 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 They are 5/8 cylinders from memory, The only thing we brought was the shaft that carries the spherical brg and ends. Tilton do the shaft and also a remote adjuster as well. You can it in this pic, RH corner, the red knob!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
