vltrb-0 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 How Did you go? alright update, i passed the road worthy by the skin of my teeth, and i brushed them that morning. Its registered and on the road, i had a radiator blow out, it was full of rust i ran some mild costic soda through it which resulted in freeing the rust up that was blocking the holes in the cores. so i retro fitted a radiator nearly twice as big and it keeps it heaps cooler, now i have a problem with the needle and seat within the carby which results in fuel pissing out everywhere after it idles for a bit basically I'm going to slap an engine conversion in it but i'll let people know what will be going in there when i actually get a front cut and commit i don't want to be a forum shit talker dreamer cheers for the interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I've got a set of 1 3/4" SU's on an Intake manifold to suit these things if you were interested in traditional tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbfoot Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 You can upgrade to a dual circuit brake master cylinder using one from a ka lazer.same bolt pattern.If you use the front brakes off a ta22 get ones off a pre 74 model as they changed to different bearings after that.To stiffen up the front end you can bolt 2 sway bars under the front.

vltrb-0 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 What radiator did you end up using? cheers for the brake upgrade options i'll more than likely source something like that, i ended up using a radiator out of a st141 corona mounting of the rad was a bit of a laugh its so wide it just fits in between the chassis rails and i had to remove the windage tray for the old rad but it works really well now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
