hey mate nice ride,

where abouts did you get your gregorys ke55 workshop manual from?

looked on ebay and they like 55 buks is that the cheapest they go for?

 

cheers jesse

Thanks, I got the manual online second hand. Payed like 10 bucks or something, can't remember. I guess just wait for one to come up or make a wanted ad. I wouldn't pay 55 for one though..

Test fitting of new wheels went well. RT132 struts + 14x6 (+13 offset) = Win

 

 

Now give me moneys so i can build adjustable coilovers plz

SWEET WAGON! Looks good in white.

yeh i was thinkin 55's a little high, but i went itno supercheap n for them to order one in is like 60 to 70 bucks haha

Did a little tinkering today. Installed a new heater core from ebay. Also removed the rest of the air conditioning parts as I don't see myself ever getting round to fixing it. This job is not one I want to do again so this time I made sure it wasn't going to leak.

 

 

After testing I found the heater tap to be leaking. Shitty little thing. Don't know why it was put in the cabin.. anyway i cut it off, replaced it with hose and put a (ae82 maybe?) plastic heater tap in the engine bay. Not connected to the cable yet so if i wanna turn the heater off i have to do it in the engine bay. That will be fixed soon, possibly tomorrow. Otherwise, it is the middle of winter so i want heater all the time anyway.

 

Old core vs New

 

 

Put these in from a non air con ke30 saved about 5kg of weight adding about 15.5kw. Also put some new foam throughout

 

 

Here is where i chopped the heater tap off

So here is how the heater tap ended up. I bit messy but it does the trick. The tap is actually kinda the wrong way around but not hard to get it to work. It was from a ae92 but other similar aged toyotas like camry have them also. So far so good, no leaks...

 

Nice job and very sweet wagon you got there man.

 

Cheers
