Hi guys, might be getting a bit ahead of myself as i dont have the car yet... but im pretty confident i'll be getting it...

if i dont get it it will be a KE70 build instead lol

anyways the idea is a 1UZ slider AE71...

s13 front coilies, falcon rear springs, low as fuck, stripped, flaired guards,

all the things that make a drifter basically...

hoping to get out to mallala early next year to battle my mate in his THRASHWORKS ke70 sr20det... (lumpy)

might make a walk off front (like fast eddys and my m8 lumpys)

anyways ill keep posting when i get somewhere...

have decided to go with the xt130 struts and brakes and sigma LCA's instead of s13 shit... purely for the fact that i went to my mates house and saw a wrecked rona to donate parts from :)

havnt managed to get the car yet because i havnt actually spoken to the owner of it...

1uz 176 kilo's, 4age just over 126 so yeah and extra 50 or so kilos but it easily makes up for it in awesomeness

Brendan

plus a turbo to make the 4age any fun at all... lol

50kg's is fuck all really... ill just drift with a full tank to keep it even :P lol

argh!!!! ive knocked about a thousand times on thier door!!! i only ever get them sometimes and they tell me the owner doesnt live there, so i ask them to tell the owner to call me so i can offer her money for the AE71 in the yard... no phone calls yet :( im going to persist tho...

MUST... BUY... AE... 71... AND... DRIFT...

ive only found 2 AE71's in my town and dont wanna let this one slip...

does anyone feel my pain? lol

a lil bit lol, go down to port augusta and drop notes there to, im sure theres a few down there

Brendan
25th November 2009, 05:29 PM
Ok, went to the house again today, door was answered... owner is currently in pt. augusta or ceduna... car isnt registered or running at the moment, so im thinkin $200 is the go :)

hopefully owner will be back within a week and they have my number so i will be contacted when they hear from her :)

im just soo keen to get this car, get the XT130 shit in the front, and start sliding it without the 1uz, then save for that, take it off the road and do the build properly, ive got a mad colour scheme in mind aswell...

IMO if you haven't already bought the car, why not just settle for a ke70? Not like you'll be using much of the gear for a 4a conversion anyway.

Brendan
27th November 2009, 09:19 AM
The thing is I'm on a very tight budget, and I'm thinking I can sell the t50 and the radiator and probably cross member (exchange for a ke70 one of course lol)

I'm hoping I can get the 71 for $200 max.

Brendan

Need ideas for box? W58 is expensive and I'm not sure if they make adapter bellhousing?

Any input ould be great :-)

celica 5 spd might be ok if it can handle the power. I've heard they can take about 250hp

:-)

your on the right track i seen on one of the sites was just a flat plate that bolted to the auto bell housing then up to the w58 and had the hydraulic clutch inside it.
you can get your w55 w57 w58 all basicly the same just different ratios.
ive got a w5? out of a corona that was bolted to a 22re sittin in the shed not sure if its for sale yet deppends on what i get offered.
but good luck on the project

Brendan
29th November 2009, 10:49 AM
Hmm from a corona aye? Yeah I know they make bellhousing to fit for the w58, shoulda worded it better, I'm not sure if they make them for like a w56 or some of the other boxes, or even if they might be the same?

Is it a standard gearbox from the corona? And what model corona if it is?

I've done some research and the 1UZ has 191kw at the flywheel which could be a problem for a celica box.

May need to go w58 or better?

arrex7
29th November 2009, 08:04 PM
as far as im aware w56 57 58 same boxes just the ratios slightly different.
as far as what corona it is rt141??
i think
not 100% sure as it was behind a 22re motor that i got
so it was either a corona avanti, celica, one of them.

ive been searchin for 1uz manual conversions... castle main rod shop reckons that if i threw $5k at it i would be right... HAHA fuck that

i think i'll source up the parts myself and maybe use paperclips and rubber bands to do it...

arrex7
1st December 2009, 11:55 PM
been havin a look man the bellhousing and clutch is gonna be more then what you paid for the motor. cheapest ive seen is about 1400.........
hhhhmmmm 3000 for motor clutch not incuding box and your gonna stick it in a $200 (hopefully) ke70......gotta luv your enthusiasm lol
but good luck anyway i look forward to the updates on how your goin.

Hi homeboys.

They do make an adaptor plate for 1UZ - W55-56-57-58 (are almost identical bar ratios and shifter position), however unless you treat it with mechanical sympathy it will go bang. The 1UZ has a bit more torque than anything most versions of the W58 were designed to handle regularly. R154 is a safer, if pricer option.

Arrex7, The gearbox you have is a W55 from an RT142 Corona.

The 1UZ is an ambitious conversion, good luck to you.

Brendan
4th December 2009, 12:43 AM

lumpye7
14th December 2009, 09:42 AM
well as far as it stands atm, hes using my spare shell.

no luck has come from getting in touch with the owner of the ae71.

so we will start getting the spare ke prepped and start making the crosmember an shit.

that way, if brendan can get the ae71, the ke is prepped for my spare again.

will be good to get a start on this thing. :thumbup:


look after my trailer fag! haha

Brendan
17th December 2009, 10:23 AM
going to make a start on this thing very soon... still undecided on the box... Thinkin r154 but dunno, pricey but more reliable... ive heard that its the selector forks that go in the w58s?

Brendan
20th December 2009, 09:50 PM
ok have now decided on a t56 instead... 6 speed rolla :D

last night shift tonight then getting stuck into it, ive got a car now, not the ae71 as planned but the flat front that used to be mine...

so first things first is to strip the fron cut and get the trans off... then strip the keto, ive found an adapter bellhousing for $200 for the t56 so ill purchase that soon... still gotta get a box tho :(

im itchin to get out on the track so i needa get my arse into gear and hopefuly get to battle a couple people on here...

Brendan
6th January 2010, 12:29 AM
