So I bought this for something I can daily and have fun in the hills with and look legal.

Want to coilover convert the front, or will just put L500 or something coilovers all around.

Stud pattern is 4x110, so I will be buying some from YJP, looking at mild 14x6 TE37 or watas would be cool with 155 55.

Keep it simple, clean and legal looking as I don't want it impounded for 3 months.

Drove it home last night, blew SHIT LOADS of smoke everywhere, only seems to be on take off.. but not very happy. Was running a bit hot most of the way with thermo fan on, the previous owner said it only has water in it and not coolant...

Sooooo, I will have to see, I thought it might have been shit fuel from sitting for months, but after 100kms and 3/4 of new BP98 it still did it.

Sooo, might have to throw another in, which if I do might throw the TRX engine in, or keep it simple and throw another 660cc NA in.


Here are some photos, It's got stock springs in at the moment and it's got stock tail lights in the boot ready to be put back on. Inside has been retrimed and it's actually pretty cool. It Has 100 xxx kms, which is pretty good as I see these for sale with double..

Few things I will be doing (including a roadie)

New steering wheel as the current one is raped.
Drivers side mirror has no glass.
Take that black shit that is over the lights off.. (mayyyybe)
Paint the bonnet ANY form of red.

And I guess I will have a look at the engine and see how it goes.

*scrolling down ae86 home page, passes members section see's L200 keeps scrolling, scrolls more...WAIT WTF! scrolls back upto see marv has gone kei car! *

Almost lost my shit when I saw you got this! did you see those 14x6 riversides with 155/55's in the for sale section? 114.3 but some stud battern conversion spacers will sort that! Looks gangsta just needs wheels

this should be good and if the engine is raped you really should put a trx engine in it would be heaps fun in the hills

marvis
28th January 2010, 11:30 AM
Yeah, pretty broke though, got well under 2k for it at the moment., to get it on the road and the engine sorted (if it has issues)

Wanting to get 110, as a converter will bring it out 15mm or so..

i jumped on this morn to see if u posted any pis of mira. It looks pretty neat. bummer about the smoke tho, did u isolate the issue? I was looking around for front struts, will try to get car trailer and tow ball by next week also so i can Archie as often as possible. And yeah to whoever was asking, Ima try to keep it as lowdown and j-cool as possible, although may fail in the process :p

Thought water cooled better than actual coolant but corrodes heaps more?

Looks cool, Marv. I nearly bought a Leeza (Jap turbo Mira), but I thought the novelty would wear off after a few months.

Considered spacer stud conversion?

Awesome, I'm once again immobilized by my ear playing up and spacing out/being dizzy. I thought this nonsence was over. Maybe I'm tired, or under nourished? So I don't know if I can do anything on it today, might just sleep...

I took that off!

I actually have a hearing disability, which originally took me sometime for my body to adjust to about a year and a half ago, was bed ridden for a while, lost my job etc. I have been sweet for a year or so, so this is rather worrying.

Was going to rego the car today, but I just woke up and I don't feel very confident going out driving, or at lest far, I will see how I do, would love to take this to the DC meet on sunday.

That grey one is cool! Perfect fitment - I think Watanabe (http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/userspage/ogura_mira.htm) F8 (http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/userspage/asanumazenta-l200s.htm) and Volk TE37 are some of the few wheels you can get in 4x110 and the FWD offset.

Here's a couple pics of my buddy Bob's Mira rollin on vintage 12x5 +45 Volk Racing Artisan Spirit Mesh. (they actually fit inside the back of some 15x7's we had laying around! ;) ) It used to be mad low with hella tuck! but 2 sets of blown shocks (they weren't short stroke and bottomed out), a couple drive shaft CV's later (plus dead clutch and gearbox) it now rolls on -50mm reset springs. He's looking for some coilovers from Japan.

And here are a few more of some 15x6.5's with 175/45R15 (Smart Car size)

marvis
30th January 2010, 01:18 AM
^ That's nice, what kit is that? Not a fan of 15's really.

Don't know, did 115 ok.. I wouldn't do over that in it though.

TR-XX or Avanzato (4WD turbo verison) I think there was zenki/kouki like L200/L210

marvis
30th January 2010, 07:09 AM
It's heaps nice. Don't Like the black lip though.

Thinking of welding angry eyes on the bonnet if it can be done before I paint it.

Really needs some better seats, feels like I am sitting on phone books.

Did you hit the Watanabe links? TR-XX Avanzato L210S and Black-Dog racing L200S

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/ogura_mira.jpg
F/R: 13x5.5+37 (155-60R13) 4x110pcd

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/blackdog-l200s-2.jpg
That has F: 14x6.0+16 (175-60R14) R: 13x5.5+37 (155-60R13) +front over fenders

Yeah they're like ironing boards hey? The TR-XX/Avanzato had nicer seats and there was even a Recaro option! (with matching door and side trims) Bob saw some at Daihatsu/Suzuki wrecker in SA but they wanted too much as they are hard to come by (car he got his bonnet scoop I think). Worth getting the dash with the tacho if you can find one too.

U can use a cv puller or put the disk on and use it like a slide hammer to remove the hub then I think u can unbolt the strut and take it out not sur ethats probs wrong.

Kid Karola
1st February 2010, 01:14 PM
That's the downfall of low - drive shaft/CV fail, and riding on bumpstops.
Not too hard but I'm lazy & I'd rather pay someone else to do it LOL :P
Changing clutch is much worse - that's an engine+box out affair.

Will take you no time to replace, fairly simple to

you need a special tool to clamp the boots back on, they have metal crip ties, cant remeber wat they are called

marvis
1st February 2010, 07:18 PM
I can get new boots for 40$ a full set :)

Took me a good while to find where the engine number is... Good fun.. So I didn't get it rego'd today, so much fucking around.

Looking at doing a Cam regrind? Worth it?

ill-minded
1st February 2010, 07:20 PM
probably not. i don't think there's a lot to be squeezed out of these without going forced induction. probably better to start with cheaper/free options like freeing up the intake/exhaust. that is, unless you can get a regrind for dirt cheap :P

racsov
1st February 2010, 07:30 PM
have access to a pneumatic boot stretcher its the kinkiest peice of machinery youll ever see

driftke70
1st February 2010, 08:48 PM
you can just buy universal ones and trim off the layer thats too big.
big cable ties hold them on just fine.

youll need to lever it on the gear box side to get it out.
the hub side just use a rubber mallet or a centre punch in the middle of the cv to punch it out, should be a piece of piss.

wont need to take the strut out just swing the hub down. I used to be able to knock it over in under 30 mins.

REGO'D!

I now have next to no money.

CV boots on the way :)

Still runs pretty hot (like 4/5 on temp gauge) I have a gutted out thermostat, which I hope will fix the issue. If not I will have to look at a new rad.. Current one is only single core? Also making up some stainless guides so it gets more airflow into the rad.

My oil cooler will fit this LOL. Even if it has a valve, it's probably well over kill.

Found these... No money :( :( :( (http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k125615267)

marvis
2nd February 2010, 11:06 PM
Also, I was looking at chrade front struts, need to measure the length, but the top bolt spacing is the same, just where is goes onto the stub axle is out by a few mm, which I'm sure can be slotted to fit, and also on an angle for camber... Or maybe even swap the front hubs etc for 4x100, brakes would be better also?

I found a good looking set of KYB ones at the wreckers...

those are superlites arent they? sorry im still learning wheels. gunmetal/black wheels on red paint will look ridiculously good. the AJPS superlite wheels are quite reasonably priced for new wheels imo. did u check them? im sure u did. u love that place (as evidenced by volume of merchandise and stickers in one certain ra65) :p
With that cooling issue, perhaps some of the passages in ur rad core or even the head are blocked or occluded with minerals etc try giving all the system a really good flush out or something and see if shale and crap comes out.

3rd February 2010, 10:59 AM
nah, they're watanabes. superlites are similar design, but different. if memory serves correct, marv also hates superlites :P

LOL. Not putting superlights on this. They are watanabe's.

Looking at the cooling issue today.

I really really hate the seat. It pisses me off so bad.. I really need a recaro, bride or something...

I also hate, how fucking expensive everything for this car is..

If charade struts fit u can run ae82 or 92 bc coilovers.

marvis

They will fit, just need to slightly modify where it mounts to stub axle.

I can import coilovers for L200/500/700 cheaper then BC shit.

LOL yeah.

The streets on that are too much positive offset.

I threw this around a corner and ended up on the other side of the car..

Heating issue was caused by the thermo fan spinning the wrong way, putting all the heat from the engine/exhaust manifold onto the rad.

I got a lip for this.. and a little bonnet scoop.. WEEEeeee. Kawaii!!

Needs lower and I need a working handbrake.

So... It's got wheels on it.. Flared the front, slotted it a little bit.. Is 120mm all around, 110 on lip, 110 on exhaust... But it scrubs a little on the rear, which I will fix with a little more camber maybe.. Front is on half a bumpstop though, but doesn't feel like it, or look like it when being driven..

Took the festive struts out, just running slotted Mira struts with cut springs, feels heaps better.
