April 4, 201214 yr Author comment_595015 Coolected and fitted the coolant pipe today, its got a tank collar and bleed tap at the highest point, and it bolts to an engine mount and a stray thread on the rear of the head. The bracketing is 2mm steel plate and the pipe is copper tube 32mm flared to 35mm at the ends. I can also take the tank collar out and fit a sender in the bung as its the correct size and thread for that if I want to do it that way. I also test fitted the s13 radiator, and its about 58mm too high. I might try and have one made, or I might look for one like a scion radiator that has an outlet at each side and end tanks instead of top and bottom tanks. A side flow style one. Report
April 9, 201214 yr Author comment_596173 Ive had a bid on a zr celica radiator, an aftermarket alloy one, hopefully I can win it and its perfect. Its side flow, meaning I will need a remote tank for the filler, but thats easy to setup. Might even get one from a celica to suit it. Its short enough and quite wide, so It should fit nice. I'm going to remove a little bit ofthe metal either side so the core can breath. Edited April 19, 201214 yr by LittleRedSpirit Report
April 10, 201214 yr Author comment_596587 OK so I won the side flow celica radiator, and for the piddly sum of 143 dollars shipped, its a nice looking bit of kit. Report
April 10, 201214 yr Author comment_596591 And I forgot to mention, I'm also bidding on an altezza diff centre, with 4.3 gears and a factory torsen lsd. I really need the lsd for the corona diff that will go behind this thing, and getting it would be very good as then I just need to sort the mounts on the housing and find some brakes. Ill most likely use st141 discs on the thing as they are the easiest conversion. Ill most likely sell the f series 4.3 gears and use the 3.9 gears I have so I can pull more speed in each gear with the torque. Report
April 16, 201214 yr Author comment_597694 and I tried but I missed out on the altezza diff centre. bummer. Report
April 16, 201214 yr comment_597697 Just wondering if you can run a similar copper pipe hidden under the throttle bodies to hide most of it? Edited April 16, 201214 yr by diegoh Report
April 16, 201214 yr Author comment_597700 That would be very high considering it has to connect with the lower radiator hose. I'm having it finished in gold once its all complete and tested, so rest assured it will look hot. Report
April 18, 201214 yr comment_598124 Looking at the $143 rad pic youve posted of the I thought the higher position on this radiator would allow the pipe a higher position but if you are going to do her in gold don't forget to do some other bits in that pimp bling bling finish for that "fool" Mr T balance :) Edited April 18, 201214 yr by diegoh Report

April 18, 201214 yr Author comment_598174 Its going to require some light customising of the radiator support but allow me to bring is some air aswell as its not a super tall unit. Means I will relocate the battery and use some of the space where the tray is. Need to find a pair of stock celica thermos from a 2zz powered car. Also the overflow bottle would be good. Report
April 18, 201214 yr Author comment_598175 Oh and the radiator is pictured upside down for some reason. Report
April 23, 201214 yr Author comment_599327 Super stoked, I just bought an altezza lsd for $375 + freight from nsw! Including 4.1 gearing! ʞ©$ɟ yessss! Report
April 24, 201214 yr Author comment_599526 Yes the torsen one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170829448224?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Edited April 24, 201214 yr by LittleRedSpirit Report
