hi people,

 

i have resently come into contact with a very cheap ca18de with a box :faq: , that ill either be puting in my or my mates ke55.

 

i have a rebuilt celica box in my car and apartently i can use tis so that the shifter comes thru the original hole, so does anyone know of a good engineer in melbourne and a good shop to get an adapter plate made for the celica box.

 

also will the brakes need to be upgraded, i know its a good idea too and will be one day but wondering if a have too

 

any help would also be very welcome, ( please help i'm not sure whether to put it mine or my mates)

Carefully i started with a cheap project ca ke35 coupe and ended up getting carried away and now owes over 15k lol! Goodluck and keep us posted

well, after a lot of hard thinking (man it hurt) and talking to some engineers i've decided that i'm not going to let this oppertunity side through my fingers.

 

the ca18de comes out of the silvia this weekend, so the two week break coming up will most likely be spent measuring it all out so that it all fits properly.

 

i'm also geting the brakes off the wrecked s13 that my mates raping for it's engine, most likey getting the fuel lines and pump to play with as well.

 

its going to be fun, will keep you all up dated.

Yep, lookin forward to that progress, it really is easier than you think, well i guess everything is easier in hindsight. . . . . and i secound what ca18rola said! don't get too carried away, or in a couple of yrs you will have a 15 grand 78 rola...whoops.

yes me of all people must be careful not to get carried away, already lost over ten grand on my little pulsar, but what else can i spend my money on :y:

:) you and i are in the same boat, i lost my licence 3 weeks ago from fines over 8 months ago :y:

Licence, who needs a licence :) Yep, apparently my rolla went from 110 to 153kph in 130 metres, well thats what the police radar gun said anyway.... :(

Nice

when we think back it really wasn't worth the 3.55 seconds of fun (yes i did the math (I'm so board))

 

car is obviously running well,

 

i should get engine this weekend, i talked to my mate and it looks like ill be getting the loom, computer, fuel pump, instrament panel, and a set of stainless extractors which is cool.

 

whats the go on getting a fuel pump in a ke55 tank, or do you replase the hole tank? ;)

Mate i put a fitting in the pick up of the tank and ran a hose to a little pre filter and into a vl turbo pump and then made new 3/8? steel buddy line to the motor which then goes through a Malpassi regulator and into fuel rail.

 

Yeah i brought some Jasma extractors for mine

(When i was going n/a) looked really sweet but where the 4-1 collector was touched the g/box on one side and some part of the steering on the other. Hope you can fit yours but!

 

I used a Pintara speedo fitting in the box so i could run standard dash.

Though i also have water temp on my hand controller and Speeco Oil press, Oil temp, Boost, and a Tacho

thats anoying aout the extractors, but don't you have a ca18 box in yours

 

ill just cut them a make them fit, wont be as prity but will have to do i supose

yeah ca18 box but they run a elec. speedo sender so i put the CA20 speedo sender in (pintara box).
