paint is the very last step I'd go. Gotta have the right wheels & stance, and comfortable driving/draggin at its final power level(I'd hate more to scrape fresh paint).

 

11s should be easily attainable. I'd reckon KE10 weigh around same as a rwd KP starlet.

My starlet is a near duplicate of a ca18det powered one close by that ETs 11.1sec;

my kp looks like total sh1t. It(or we) has to earn its paint job. Feels better beating up on expensive shinney cars too

yours already looks 'decent' to me and its off to a good start.

 

 

This is the ticket :y:

MORE INFO ON THOSE SEATS PLEASE!!!

 

My guess is as good as yours.

 

There looks to be a picture of a snake and the word Cobra on them.

Check out Leyland Mini's guys. They love those sites as far as I can remember. They are from Cobra like you spotted :y:

 

Cobra Classic

 

If I remember correctly, they don't cost to much for a "normal road" seat as such, and the fitting dimensions should go well in a KE1X / KE2X

Thanks for everyone’s input, you have all put me back on track to finish this car off.

 

However, after reading all the posts I have decided to leave the looks to last. Yeah I know the rims look shitty and a nice paint job will get heads turning but like 'Guest' said its a great feeling when you beat a shinny car, although they are travelling in comfort & safety (something that this corolla lacks). I would never go for a quick spray job. It would be a complete tare down, sand/media blastered and a top nock paint job to last for ever. (when I win the lotto that is).

 

I want this car to fly. Let’s go for 11sec down the 1/4 mile or better.

The car has recently developed an exhaust leak between the turbo and exhaust manifold. I can't get to the bolts to tighten then up, so I guess I will need to get a new steam pipe high-rise manifold (6boost maybe?) and new turbo. I was thinking a T2860RS (disco potato) or the GT2871R. Not cheap.

Here is a close up photo of the master cylinders. A photo of the booster is on a previous post.

 

How good do those seats look!! I have CRX seats in mine.

Well done on the 13.1 at 101, must have 60ft its ass of, good stuff

cheers

Awesome car mate, loving it! How much boost were you running for the 13.1?

also could you throw up a pic of your engine mounts and gearbox x-member?

 

I'm doing a ca in ke20 at the moment

Be nice to know if you used 75 or 74 (74's are shorter )series master cylinders..long shot, think this car is long been sold..

cheers

Hey mate,

 

I'm very curious about your ca18 transplant. How did you go with fitting the engine and tranny in? I.e. Any bashing of the firewall and/or cutting of the tunnel?

 

Doug

He hasn't been on here for over 2 years.

Firewall "bump" will need to be deleted and trans tunnel will need to be made bigger for sure.
