One of todays efforts at the drifts. hahah.

 

Originally said "Come at me bro" for those who couldn't guess.. :P

 

Any more work done this weekend?

 

Is that the new sticker for the 10?

Wasn't home the whole weekend really haha.

 

But managed to get the beaver panel in paint and the the rear guards ready :D

 

Also picked up an ae82 boot wing to chop and mod to fit the front of this

 

Got 2 days to get a fair bit of tafe work done so putting it off until saturday and then i've got 2 weeks to get this thing hopefully painted or atleast ready for paint :D

Hmm, The paint isn't really coming out how i'd like.. It's coming out brighter and sorta satin finish.

 

Both rear guards, drivers front guard and door should be sprayed over the holidays :) So i'll see how that goes, Might have to mix up some clear with tint and mattening agent in it.

 

 

Not sure if i posted this but.. This is the turbo i got (Without the fuel setup and some other things)

 

 

First thing is that i've ditched the crappy sidemount setup and i'm using a front mount intercooler concealed behind the beaver panel to get some proper flow.

 

Another thing is that the turbo in that photo isn't the one i'm using. Mine's a bit larger than that.

 

I'll also be blocking up the bov mount on the back of the carby box as i can't stand the sound of cheap blow of valves. So she'll have a does pipe off the mouth of the turbo.

 

It's only a cheap ebay turbo so i don't really mind either way.

Updates???

 

Coming out lighter than i wanted..

 

Also raided a ke10 today for some parts. It was rather sad to see. Pretty much everything destroyed.. Lifted the bonnet and it's number is KE10 - 32XXX

 

Way older than the oldest on here.. Yet it's running the ke11 late model dash?

 

Unfortunately the passenger guard was toast so i'm going to have to try and get mine as good as i can..

Don't forget the lifters. They should arrive Monday/Tuesday were cheaper than mine. Lol. But yeah was pretty happy with price too.

I still think it will look cool in that shade though mate.

 

Stu.

I reckon it definitely needs to be darker personally. that colour kinda reminds me of nicks 11

Yeah you're not wrong.. I want it fair darker than that. So i'm taking it back this week to get it fixed.. again :/

 

You can see here just how light it is in the sun

Any updates shorty?

Yeah mate!

 

Got stuck in and did a few things!

 

Cheers to Kickn5k for getting me a deal on some solid lifters for the turbo build :happy:

 

Got the front end in bodyup. Just needing some finishing off before it's ready for paint

 

 

Also decided to have a go at fixing the dash pad myself. Got some expanda foam and filled in the cracks after chipping off the plastic around the cracks

 

Then sanded it back and applied bodyfiller to make it smooth and needs to be finished sanding and then fibreglassed and recovered

 

 

Cleaned up the rear door trims and vynal died them

 

 

Also fixed a few dents and rubbed back a few parts of the body.

 

Accelerator was jamming on the corolla for some reason, relised the ke25 air cleaner conflicts with the 4k carbie and holds revs on.

 

 

Sticker for the rear window.. :P

 

This also rocked up today :cool:

 

I hope you're going to plumb that screamer back into the main exhaust.

They don't seal enough between the wheel and gate to be open like that. :no2:

It's basically just to play around with and for track use..

 

I'm going to get a nice divorced downpipe for it for everyday driving as the dump pipe with the turbo I got looks pretty average

Just make it once well (ie plumbed in) and be done with it I say. Its not like you get any extra performance from having a screamer pipe. Its only wank factor and poo-poo attracting.
