Looking great fellow Vincent :yes:

 

Now that most of the cosmetics are done (externally), what's the next step that you're taking?

5k? :bash: Interior?

Alright, Just started on the interior this week. Got some Mazda Astina SP seats front and rear. The front rails bolted on with small amount of modifications. The rear needs a fair bit of mods which includes cutting the metal frame on the top parts and remolding the bottom part.

 

Door trims have also been started. I'm eager to get the interior finished over the next month.

 

Pics are bad quality from my phone. Mi camera is f@cked.

Any updates?

[phat_20]

Been a bit lazy through the winter but just a bit more work on the interior. Just finished molding the front door pods and door trims.

 

Gotta pull my finger out and trim everything.

Loving the height of the rear, makes me realise that my car is sitting way to high haha!

 

But loving the car :jamie:

[phat_20]

Been a while since an update.

 

I've been cleaning up the rear, suspension back to standard height and replacing the locker with a standard centre ready for blue slip/rego.

 

I decided to paint the diff housing, leafs and under body of the car and change the rear bushes. Looks really neat now.

I couldn't find any replacement rear shocks. What is everybody using for shocks?

[phat_20]

Finally pissed of the aisan carb that was running like crap and installed a 32/36 weber. Its running heaps smoother now, although I was worried the weber would be too large for the 4K.

 

Made an adapter linkage for the weber by hacking the original throttle link off the aisan hence keeping the original accelerator cable.

 

I step closer to the 4K-T.... :yes:

looking really good mate slow progress but still coming along nicely

for shocks i know you have a 20 and i have a 55 but i went to supercheap and found some ke55 shocks there and i am using them they are gas ryder

Any corolla shock will do you really mate. KE10 through, 20's, 30's, 55's, 70's TE and AE86's are all interchangable. So you could runs some TRD 8 way adjustable like I have if you can find some. :wink:

[phat_20]

Cheers guys, I look into some later model KE rear shocks this weekend.

[anastasios]

Go all out and get some baller TRD ones like Taz said, it will be awesome

Really interested to hear this. Recently I have been scratching my head a bit too, trying to work out what I can put under the 20.

TRD Shocks sound pretty cool. Who distributes them is Aus?

 

Update:

Started some cabling in the drivers door and installed all the rubbers, glass and Central door locking.
