maccat01 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sounds good. I got a mate who is doing most my welding for me. But if your mate got spare time i got cash if he'll do little jobs. Are you running the s2000 auxillary pump? Caus i know without it the CEL on the dash comes on. I noticed you have an extra bar underneath the car that you have mounted tramp rods to. Is that standard two door corolla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Cheers nerf. Been in the pipeline for a while. Ive had the car stripped near on three years waiting to get the s2000 at a good price. And this half cut came up about three months ago so i had an inpulse buy. Ill keep posting pics over the build.

Is that standard two door corolla? I'm running commodore in tank fuel set up with walbro pump. Only light i have on is engine check light which i have to get scanned and cleared. The bar underneath is part of a custom caltrack bar setup not a standard part. Were abouts are you located mate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm in ryde but car is at dads in penrith. Not the fuel pump. Ill clear it up as its an odd setup. On the s2k on the passenger side behind the front bumper is an air pump that pumps air into the cat to prewarm it. Its a low emissions aid. if you have installed the engine without it then it must be ok. Thanks for info on your fuel setup too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Apparently deleting the air pump can caus a check engine light. Ive browsed the US forums and a bloke has been producing relays to stop the engine light coming on because of the pump being removed. Not sure if it works on aussie car though as early australian delivered cars don't have obd2 connectors so the whole harness is altered. let me know how clearing the light goes and ill see if i can find the link for pump relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccat01 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 So my "work truck" corolla blew a head gasket, and I haven't had much time to do the s2krolla. The head gasket and electrical problems on the other rolla now solved/ fixed so I can continue work on the build. So here is pics of both the cars, as since ive had the second corolla it has been restored, so ive now got two projects :-D The enter button wouldn't work so if this post is all over the place I apologize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 So the doors pictured are spares. So if anyone needs panels or suspension parts, just pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hello all. More pics of the build. Has been very slow but finally have the falcon wheels all mounted to the xt130 struts with the ms65 crown hubs and all new bearing, and have found doors in better shape from a ke55. I have the engine sitting in the car now and will fab the mounts in the next few weeks. I have also mounted the honda brake pedial assembly and pajero brake booster. In a fit of stupidity I have gone mad with engine detailing and have decided to high-polish everything aluminium. So intake, engine block and head, gearbox and all engine ancillaries will be mirror finish. Still rough at this stage though. Bring on more sand paper and filing. And while I'm at it, the green corolla work truck pulling the other rollas parts :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 You'll get half way through that manifold and regret it! :P beem there, done that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccat01 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I'm regretting it now. Ive just bout finished the manifold now though so only another five bits to go :-O First up is the front of car where the radiator lives. Got sick of looking for radiators that would fit the standard size hole.... so made the hole bigger for the stock s2000 radiator Then I cut holes and installed wiring grommets in the doors so the wiring is tidy and can't be seen. Plenty of electronics will be going in here. Next up the transmission tunnel from the s2000 was kept and I have now cut it to the right size to weld into the car. This was a bit quicker then having to make a tunnel from scratch. The Evo recaros barely fit in the car now. But they DO FIT which is a bit relief. And Finally a pic of the front of the car. Note that the s2000 Air Conditioning condenser fits in front of the radiator. I will be fitting the full s2000 a/c system. So will be getting more creative when time comes to fit it and find space.

Gonna be sanding forever....... but will be more then worth it. I don't like painted blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
