Project car purchased.

 

 

It's going to be stripped, painted, twinkied (full rebuid, bottom end standard, 256 cams, TRD copies etc) and re-trimmed all in due time as funds come in and time is available.

 

Have the front panels from my KE70 parts car, and the chassis will have to be looked at closely, most probably needs slight allignment.

 

As it's done a few kms less than mine and has better brakes, new rack boots, better clutch master cylinder, better clutch and motor and all needs to be stripped to paint the engine bay anyway, I'll probably put these things in my daily driver. Replacing all things in the project car with new stuff.

 

Waiting on a clear shed to do the work, 4A-GE bottom end is first on the list for the project as my brother will be finished building his 4A-C for his AE86 soon, and I'll be able to use his stand

4AC's need building? For an 86????

 

...crazy, id never have know

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:jamie:

Lol, yeah biggo it's done 350,000 kms or there abouts, and it blew a hole in one of the valves to my absolute amazement.

 

Never thought it was possible to kill a 4A-C but it obviously is (mind you it was still running, just no comression reading on that particular cylinder)

 

He's boring the block and buying pistons to suit, getting custom extractors made, match porting the head and putting a webber on it.

Think my bro's spent around 2,300 so far on the 4A-C rebuild. Still rising. Just hope he proves me wrong (told him he should have put in a low km 4A-GE for similar price)

 

Quote for these wheels I got was 250 per wheel. Tossing up whether or not it's worth it...

 

1K for the set then $100 for shipping so $1100 delivered to door, just don't want second hand rims on the project car.

Getting them from Ozzytyres in Sydney.

your project car..is that nicks old car? the one biggo was selling?

Previous owner was on this forum...

 

...Gish (We're in Melbourne)

 

I'm sure he'll still be around watching this thread and my Toymods one to see what's happening with it. Was his first car and he seemed to love it heaps and let me buy it coz he wanted it to go to a good home rather than sell it for more and see it parted out. He'll flip when he sees the finished product:P

For the front I picked up some (lowest they do) Pedders sports ryder brand new springs today.

 

And dad's apparently picking up the rear springs (won them on e-bay) soon.

 

Will probably put the fronts in tomorrow.

Here's the link to my project car also, subscribe to it biatches.

The engine and box in it are better and will probably find a new home in the engine bay of my daily. So stay tuned, my plans for the daily will be as follows for the not too distant future...

-Engine and box from project car to be installed to replace the tired motor

-New Pedders springs to be put in front (shocks later on)

-Pedders rears that I won on e-bay to go in soon also (when my old man picks them up)

-Some point not too far off also I should be choosing my best 4 out of my 8 CSX rims, painting them black then putting the 4 pirelli's off the project car on. Just sick of keeping the wheels polished, may even sell them not sure though as the tyres are newish and worth keeping as spares.

 

That's all for now.

Pedders springs in front, will post up more crap later...

 

Alright, now...yesterdays work.

 

Difference between stock and Pedders

 

The angle where the spring butts up against itself was shithouse compared to the Toyota sprigs, so I grinded it flat (dad's advice) and it looks a much better fit

After

Spring in

 

Difference between the stock tyre and tyre size I'm currently running, just thought I'd randomly post this up in the middle

 

And all done in the front (rears doing this week hopefully)

 

lookin nice :laff:

 

Too bad your speedo will be up the shithouse :laff:
