glenpos Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 just gonna leave this here..... first GSXR1100 carbs started like this, i polished one top, i then decided they looked discusting.... so i did this, painted in silver acrylic so should stand the heat, don't care though haha, was to hard to clean the black off so just painted it.. then decided to do this... think it looks better, more detail. pulled the head off my spare motor, pulled the valves out and gave it a bit of a port job, gotta get a longer die grinder bit to get in deeper, or just buy a die grinder... gonna get rid if the massive valve guides thingamajigies too, then gonna just get a plate cut, then use my awesome new (second hand) mig to make a manifold, then gonna get the head shaved a bit too, should be sick, might take a few weeks though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral4K Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looks awesome! I bet those carbs would fuel the fire better than the old ones lol, I wish i had a spares engine to work on, rather than the engine thats in it because my car gets used everyday :( But keep up the good work! And make sure to link us to a video if you get it running :) Sounds like quite a custom 12r to me :D Loving the work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Carbies look great man. The detail you are putting into them will pay off when it's all together! I'm sure these larger ones will do a bit better than the last ones too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenpos Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 had a good score today, a few days ago i was at the servo, when i walked out some bloke called me over, he said he had a corona, and said it had its roof cut off but still had most parts, he said i could have it for free, so i went out for a look tonight, its a rt81, disc brakes and booster, perfect rear bumper, motor 4spd and diff, the nice rt81 grill in good nick, all lights, the rest of its pretty much farked but will just sit it in paddock for spares, then he showed us a few other cars, a hx ute, really straight, no rust holes or bubbles, just slight surface rust, running and drivable 220,000km, $300 :D then he showed us a hj 1 tonner, straight not much rust, started straight up after sitting for 6 months, $450, so getting both them too hahaha, hanging to pick it all up!! :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice! I gave simon on here a spare RT81 grille and he said it didn't fit his 80. Dunno of you can make it work, but I do like them a lot more :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenpos Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 i already have one on my blue one, so gonna put it on my red one, i actually like the rt80 grill more, looks kinda looks like a plymouth front or something, i just think its kool, i also like the rt81 grill but no more than i like my grill haha, each to their own haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Weird. I wonder why simon couldn't fit the one I have him. Oh well haha. I don't mind the 89 grille, I just like the 81 more :) I don't know how you find so many of these coronas. There's like NONE in SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenpos Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 i couldn't be bothered reading what i wrote above haha, but the grills don't fit, the rad support panel is different, and the rt81 mounts different near the guards, and they are different shape around the guards, and the bonnet trim is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT81Guy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 hey glen i think i nee to talk to you about sare parts. i'm chasing a drivers side rear door chrome strip for the rt81. mine is alright but slightly bent and it'd be a bit of cash to get it straight and sitting flush again. i think we need an 80/81 discussion thread!
