David[RL] Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) I mounted the ta22 rear axle today, and while I did I saw that it's a bit shorter than my previous rear axles. + the ke70 panhard rod is too short, and the ta22 panhard rod is too long.. so I have to shorten it soon.. I did fix it temporary by using 1cm with spacers on the right side :D also the ae86 tailshaft is different bolt pattern to ta22 rear axle, so I could only get 2 bolts to fit.. hehe also I only have brakes on the left side at the rear axle, I guess I will fix all this next weekend Edited November 2, 2005 by David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 ta22 has the same rear track as ke3x/5x te72 has same rear track as your ke70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 ta22 has the same rear track as ke3x/5xte72 has same rear track as your ke70 yeah.. I figured that out while I was changing it :D when I get the panhard rod shortened + using 1cm spacers on each side I think it will be okay, but I will only use it temporary for a few months untill I can afford to fix the ae86 rear axle I have also found a parts-car I will buy this week I hope. it's a 2 door sedan. I will use the front fenders and the doors from that car because mine is all rusted up + I have some dents on the right fender and then I will get the car professionaly spray painted :D I also have plans to get 20v throttlebodyes and a programable ecu, maybe slightly bigger cams, I'm aiming for about 200hp I know I have 9,8mm lift ( stock is 7,2mm I think ) but I'm not sure about the duration.. OR I will just buy a turbo from a 3sgte and decompress the engine and aiming for about 250-300hp else there isn't much to improve, only new seats and a rollcage next season I'm thinking about trying tarmac racing with the car, in a class with road registered cars, I think it could be fun :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 YAY DAVID!! I'm glad youve decided to keep working on it :D LOL sounds like a super dodgy TA22 diff conversion. So the AE86 is a wider track eh? I might have to find an AE86 T series...not likely. I refuse to pay through the arse for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I did buy a parts-car on friday since I needed some body parts like fenders etc and we've started making flares! :D when we're finished I'm going to going to make a fibreglass mould. here is some pictures of the progress: as you can see, we're not finished yet! i'm going for the ta64 wrc look / trd widebody, but with sharper edges ( more boxy form, so it suit the ke70 body more ) the flares is 7cm wide on each side :jamie: so I guess I won't have a prolem with the wheels hitting the flares like I did last summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 That's going to look WILD!!! You'll need a spoiler of some kind to help the look though I think. Even if it is just an AE71 Spirit style of one. Or an Evo 1 style spoiler would look even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 here's some pictures of the progress: with 1000 hours work I might get finished :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I've also spraypainted the dashboard black matt: and I've gathered a couple of extra lights to use: here's a few pictures of the TTE ta64 rally car: my ke70 will look very similar to this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
