sleepercorty Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 the idea with the trimatic is that its alot stronger than a 5 speed corolla box so would be alot more reliable with the power but still undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepercorty Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Spent some time today stripping the yellow van getting it ready for some boost, also thinking about possibly selling the 5k with weber and extractors and 5 speed out of it if anyone is chasing one.

sleepercorty Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I spent alot of time this week on the van, all new shocks, springs, brake pads, rotors, drums, cylinders, ball joints and steering, bushes, wheel bearings. The best part of owing your own parts shop is parts are cheap :yes: :yes: :yes: . Also cleaned underneath while everything was out and gave it a coat of black. looks much better.

teza40 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Clean looking van,nice work you`re doing on it and yes having parts at disposal is a good thing.. i once had a chrysler parts thing going (trade prices for my parts :) ). Good to see another van being saved! long live the ke36-38 vans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skellington Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 This car is going to be sweet! I am looking forward to seeing more progress. the idea with the trimatic is that its alot stronger than a 5 speed corolla box so would be alot more reliable with the power but still undecided How strong is the trimatic? Do you have an approximation of HP it can handle? How does it stand vs the t50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an approximation of HP it can handle? How does it stand vs the t50? trimatic is good for 300-400hp just needs some more clutches and a valve body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
