But anyways on a brighter note suspension arrived today

Straight after work got stuck in fitting a set of bug eye steering arms along with the front coilovers.

 

Comparison pic, bug eye arm left, Slant front arm right. As you can see the kingpin inclination angle is set differently.

Barry at MRP did an amazing job with these, custom camber adjustable top hats, adaptor sleeves fillet welded to original hubs then sent away for magnetic crack testing.

Car looks in a bit of a mess at the moment since work has been on a major halt due to the lack of front suspension.

More interesting stuff tomorrow.

Made use of the long weekend to get lingering jobs done.

Fitted an AE86 Clutch master cylinder, used the modded clutch pedal from the spare kp but had to shoulder the bolt so the clutch rod will fit and drilled a small hole in the end for a split pin to thread through.

I added another plate behind the master cylinder for support and to reduce flex, might add gussets to the pedal but will see how it goes for now.

Upgraded the front brakes to AE101 calipers with 260mm rotors and made up a pair of adapters, thanks Kris for the ideas.

TRD 2-way LSD arrived from Japan yesterday thanks to Alex at MLRacing.

Set about stripping it apart then reassembling/fitting with new bearings etc & TRD solid pinion spacer.

Thankfully the items description was right as she was in near perfect condition.

Bit of a laugh, found some real, "she'll be right" stuff under the pinion bearing haha.

Few hours later had the backlash set correctly just a bit iffy with the tooth contact, will have to grab some engineers blue next week to double check. Other than that she's sweet

ENGINE ARRIVED!!

So back to it, lubed up a few rods and pushed them into their holes

Did a few mods to the oil pump (thanks for the tips Samq), smoothed out the sharp edges & increased the exit curve of the main oil feed port if that makes any sense?

With the new cams/pistons etc I made sure that vvt isn't going to mess things up. Chucked some plasticine on the dome & with use of a second hand TRD h/g (cheers Mark aka CorollaGT) Torqued the head down.

As per thread on measuring P to V clearance I timed it all up, cranked it over 30 Degrees which is 15 degrees at the cam, marked the intake cam and reset the exhaust cam and crank back to tdc.

Thankfully she all checked out sweet so off came the head again, cleaned everything up, new TRD headgasket etc.

Excuse the heinous paint work, used too takier masking tape and it peeled half the paint off...

Need to make up a few things tomorrow so can dial in the exhaust cam then should be sweet for test fitting the boeast!

Hated how the manifold was clustered with ugly crap, decided to do away with the supports, flip the tps & swapped the vacuum hose fittings that run to the booster end to end.
