Johno Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Nice, I really like the ae70 2 doors. Looking at the current condition as it sits right now is just more fun to fix it up. If your motivated and love working on cars then this should be alot of fun when its finished. If your into drifting i would be dropping a 4age in her. You could get a Jap spec with loom for about $700au. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the easiest way to roll your gaurds out wider at home, is just to find a heavy length of 2 or 3 inch galvanised pipe (or an old shock absorber as I used) and force it up between the lip and the tyre. This will roll the inner edge up flat to the outer. It will also force the whole show a bit wider, especially if you apply some heat on the metal with a heat gun. If its really stiff, get someone to gently drive the car back and forth while you align the pipe. That will move it. The rears don't work as well as the fronts, because there is an extra layer of metal, but you should still get 10-15mm a side if you persist. If you want to lower it on the cheap, then all you need is some Shorter springs and shocks. What struts does the car run? If you have the smaller diameter struts like Australian KE70s had, then you would need to upgrade to a 2 inch diameter strut to make a good choice of shock absorbers fit your car. You may already have better struts, being that you have a bigger, faster motor than a k motor, this may have been factory equipment, but honestly, I just don't know. If you'd like more power, you can do a lot with a 2t or 3t motor. There is a 2t/3t hybrid you can build, there is also plenty of those motors that can take a tonne of boost. Read this thread of the PR Toyota nuts and you will see. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=16233 You can get performance T motor bits for peanuts too, in the US. Have a look at this online store, crazy cheap! I think its half the reason the PR boys go so damn hard with their T motors. http://www.brdracing.com/index.htm Anyhow, best of luck. I hope you understand how much we all wish we had 2 doors over here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
