Hey all, I recently just got a AE71 Spirit. It has a modplated 4age, t50 gearbox, 2.5inch exhaust (no extractors tho) lowered all round on king springs with a full set of Watanabe's (black 15's with polished lip) The interior is pretty good exept it has no carpet and the drivers seats is a little uncomfortable. also has a sunroof

 

the front end is pretty dodgy (rust & damage) but i plan to replace all guards and lights ect ect. and the rear guards have rust and a lil bit dented. but i plan on getting the rear fixed up. Was thinking bout getting a new shell but i do like the sunroof and is a fair bit of work changing everything over.

 

ill keep everyone posted on how the repairs are going :jamie:

 

 

 

 

looks pretty clean and simple

dude ur engine bay is clean as, makes my 4age look like scum haha

Mmmm Red Ae71

 

Nice man, Clean engine bay. Do you have watanabe's for the rear aswel?

Jesse.

Do you have watanabe's for the rear aswel?

 

yeh mate full set. and yes the engine bay is super keen :jamie: hehe

Nice ride and good luck with the repairs. How does it go with a 4age? No power steering or A/C must make it go faster too yeah?

 

Cheers, Johnny :jamie:

got to do something about that steering wheel though...

where exactly can i buy or order a 4age in sa

ebay? wanted add on ae86dc and here?

 

I can only help you with some potential bits for the conversion

New extrators!

ok so i put the extractors on. and they are stainless (epic win) as i as told they wher only mild steel.

so i went to an exhaust shop to get a flange on my exhaust so the extractors could be bolted up. they said easier and cheaper to weld a pipe from extractors to exhaust. so meh took the cheaper option. so any way went and picked the car up. 1st thing i notice was it sounded like a tractor on steroids. hmmm massive leak from somewher. so i decided would have to be around the gasket. so unbolted extractors at my mates garage. hair line crack the whole way around the top pipe

so he welded it back up shmick.

bolted em all back up. re welded the exhaust back on.

turn car on.

still a massive leak. Faark

so we had to chop the whole bottom off the exractors. and inside where the 4 pipes go into 1. a hole the size of the tip of my pinky. (massive fail) ,welded the massive hole up. oh and we couldn't find a farking stainless wleding rod so we used a stainless knife. haha worked really well.

and now its all fixed and all bolted on.

was really surprised at the difference these extractors made.
