altezzaclub Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 That will make a nice car! Are you running the stock Altezza ECU and flywheel/clutch? The dual-mass flywheel is twice the weight of the TRD or Excedy replacement, and I know Altezzas are slow to rev up and down. My KE70 is quicker and crisper to add or lose rpm.

InSaNiTy Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Haven't you got a rally calendar to look at Keith? You don't have time for TE72s with 3S motors! Where's that rally dedication?! :P Dominicaneddy nice cars man! Few questions... Is that an A frame setup that you used to originally get to your place? Looks way too short to be a car trailer in the photo... Haven't come across one before, only heard of them. Legal? Details! :) Also I don't think we have any of those Carinas in OZ, we'll I've never heard of one here anyway, looks clean as! What power is it making with the huge turbo?! Nice fab work btw and keep the updates coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much funds at the moement considering the fact that the whole car has to be redone. Will using stock ECU and clutch and flywheel, wiring harness has been sent off to get redone as well. after all parts are mocked/fitted all be coming off then off to for body and work and paint.
