So here is my new love. She's a keeper.

It has a BHG? It has some lovely rust.

Crappy phone pictures!

How cute is the rad!

Has air con and power steering! So stoked!

I Think the first option in better as I would get suspension etc before sweet engine, and it will take some time to build it / find the parts.

Will be rocking crappy wheels for a while (MA61's) I want it lowdown style, flush slash poking.. Stock guards would be cool too I think with like 8.5- 9's and like 9's/10 rears with 185 60

If I have to respray, I don't know what color I would go.. I was thinking white again with a glitter, or maybe a beige or grey?

I have noooo idea till how long it will be until it's on the road..

[sam2306]

very nice dude, obviously factory 4A, but whats the GTR version have over a normal AA63?

[blake.]

This thing is sweet, I love it!

[marvis]

very nice dude, obviously factory 4A, but whats the GTR version have over a normal AA63?

I am yet to look into it. I think they only did the GT-R in coupe?

[GOT-20V]

Nice find, never seen one with the 4age in Australia before. When was it imported from japan?

IMO they should of all came with the 4age as the 22RE has the same power

[marvis]

The guy I got it from said he has had it for 8 years, when it had 70,000KM on it.. He bought it from a holding yard in japan which it was sitting doing nothing for 10 years.

4age has more power, less torque. 22re has W58 behind it, where as this has a T50. Hopefully it can withstand me.

[marvis]

Here is my main motivation.

[biggo]

Where do you find these things? Atleast its betterthan a nissan.

GT-R badges are coupes, GTTR badges are sedans, well thats how Carinas are set out. Pretty cool find, you gonna keep the power steering? I would, but i have a celica manual rack if you want it.

Pull motor apart, im going to put the 90c in my wallet on it having a blown bigend

[ke_70]

cool marv! i'd love to drive this around.
f or t serise?

[marvis]

I posted plate, It's an F :) Disk rear end also with internal drum.. I don't know if it has an LSD though?

Todd posted a link to ebay in my R31 thread.

Going to keep powersteering for sure. I like the feel of the supra with it over my old RA65.

I will probably wack engine out and see how it is. Dude said oil was in water etc.

[willa]

subscribing to the biggest thread for '11? Haha just joking marv should turn out nice!

[dr1ft-pig]

nice find man.... much better base than any adm one.... stoked it has all the 4a shit in it already

unconverted goodness

[R&D Mechanical]

fuck yea marv!

[70XIN]

Jesus christ i want so bad.

And you got lucky with that diff too! As long as it hasn't been changed (doubt it), it's a 4.56 ratio diff! :D

[Sup2a]

so fucking cool.
this is going to be incredible.

[Beserker99]

I posted plate, It's an F :) Disk rear end also with internal drum.. I don't know if it has an LSD though?

F252: 7.5 inches, 4.556:1, 2 pinions, open (non LSD)

I also have spare power steering pump, resivor and rack and a engine cross member from a TA63 if you ever need them. I have no use for them as they were attached to an engine I bought.

[marvis]

Stoked about that :) Will need to weld it up for super happy times.

Glad you guys like it :)

[trikzlane]

marv, you are so lucky

[marvis]

I know. I am so stoked. I got HEAPS of work to do though.

Been talking to seamus about some Jworks gear I will be keen on for engine. Will wack stock biggie (if mine is fucked) in it for now though, and then I will have a spare.

[Konakid]

...:))...

[Robo86]

sweet man

[ThatsHowWeRoll]

Nice. Good platform to start with!

I say white with glitter and really subtle yellow window tint ;)

Or even a flat aqua for something different..

[Fusion]

Wow, so stoked to see this. Going to be good once you get it all sorted

Sooo know what you mean by alot of work to do. Old Jap cars make you work for them haha

[Beefy_Heafy]

this is good marv. come get that shell, all the rusty bits on this are still good on the shell. Should be able to help u out with bigger radiator and some other bits as i make changes to mine.

[johl]

tits!

[marvis]

So keen!

I forgot what a stock RA65 radiator is... But I want to use stock mounts or maybe weld some on.

I was thinking the first one.. Don't know if It needs respray yet.. If I have the money I probably should.


I am getting first dibs when you go to sell it to you prick, would of got it but the money I have is from the flood benefit and I need to replace my furniture, sorry bout waking you up.

Going to keep for ages man.


sweet man

Why you no excite?

[Pidgey]

For color, Dark maroon purple-ish with gold wata's and gold tint. It's kind of common, but then again so is white lol.
SO HAPPY YOU HAVE THIS! Will be so cool!
btw... Why isn't this in other toyota's thread?

[Robo86]

i think youll find i am excited! keep this one and put a 7a like mine in it.

moar pics!

Find me pictures?

Because I'm in idiot.. Moved.

I want to do Jworks rods, cams and nice extractors.. Will open up my bottom end and see how it is.. Might swap pistons or something and rock stock biggie until suspension is good.

[Jacobxxx]

Beige!

Does anyone know what that is ^ Two lines that run over cam over.

[marvis]

It's got ill fitted king springs all round too! SICK KENT

[benzo]

This will awesome dude! I'd rock stock Bigport at first, like you said, so you can drive it. Get everything else sweet first, drop in built 7A later.


I say white with glitter and really subtle yellow window tint ;)

^this.

[Drift_Donkey]

Yay!!!

[trikzlane]

first to say this, needs more skids, lol

[elda_bob]

marv.
keep it simple and drive the shit out of it.
<3

[Beefy_Heafy]

yes i agree. those will be for powersteering weight adustments like lucifer said. provided they run to and from your psteer pump that is :p

standard ra65 rad is heaps bigger than that. u can have mine as soon as i put all the lcas etc in my ra and can fit the maxima rad. I had its end tanks replaced a few years ago so i dont see it failing anytime soon.

loving the jap spec accessories, speeding alarm. so rad. 65kmph tho, that thing is going to fun police u good.

[marvis]

Thanks! I might rego in NSW, as I don't want it impounded.. Hard as it's plated for QLD?


marv.

<3
That is sorta the plan... for now.


Need to park it out the front so you can stir Noel up with the GT-R badge, give him shit and say his car is only a GTST and yours is a GT-R.

LOL :P

[marvis]

I got some bare bigport heads chilling here which I am going to clean up around the valves and combustion chamber (both are pretty restrictive), wack the running gear on it, do valve seals and others.. I will check to see how this bottom end is.. I might just have to wack another piston in it or rings.. But if I need to do ring and bearings I will probably put a 7afe bottom into it and just rock new rod bolts on it, as it's not going to rev over stock limiter @ 7300? 0r 7500.

Took the battery out yesterday and there was oil all over the tray..

Porting is done.

Basically we only cared about 3 things:

-Don't increase the intake port size (it's already WELL oversize), only remove casting marks.
-Remove the "joggles" (because this engine will have 11.3-11.5 static comp, the sharp edges in the head can and do cause detonation). Again, removing as little material as possible, as any material taken from here also drops compression.
-Main area to work on: short turn radiuses. You wouldn't notice with the valves still in, but these have some BADASS casting marks that would hinder flow dramatically. A picture is worth a thousand words, so look at the shit below.

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6242/4agcombustionchamber.jpg

^^ From the TRD bible. Tells you to remove the gay stuff.

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5781/robohead2.jpg

^^ You can see the 'joggles' on the right of the picture, they are big and sharp, no good.

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2335/robohead4.jpg

^^ The massive casting marks on each and every short-turn radius. It's that big bit jutting out, below the lovely machined valve seat/s.

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3208/robohead3.jpg

^^ And zoomed in, cause i can.

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9335/robohead5.jpg

^^ 'Joggles' removed, without taking any material off that wasn't required. We didn't polish the combustion chamber area, as i've read too many conflicting opinions for and against, so i just chose the mid-ground (not-too-shiny, not-too-rough). I know the TRD bible even suggests polishing but .. meh.

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8387/robohead7.jpg

^^ And the short-turn radius all cleaned up.

Done.

you'll just need to pass a blueslip to register it in NSW and ** Removedddd **

[marvis]

^^ Awesome, Might do that :)

[joeschmo_57]

wow. 7age will win. i remember reading about a 7ag AA63 gtr that a chick in japan slides a while ago. had cool splattered paint cam covers.

are you going to go along with S13 suspension gear this time around as well?

[marvis]

Hell no.

Toyota.

[Kid Karola]

I thought the 4AGE Carina GTR was AA63... Celica too. There you go, learn something new everyday!

[stx-16]

what cars do pirates drive??

a GTAARRRRRRRR

[joeschmo_57]

what suspension can you fit into this? Supra stuff?

[Jdm-Mcc]

This is cool, It will be cooler!

[ae86]

farkkk where did you find this!? so happy for ya man gna be 10x better than riceline

[marvis]

what suspension can you fit into this? Supra stuff?
Coilover converted. It's like same as AE86 really. TRD blue rears and AE86 rear springs etc.

[Danny t]

This car is da coolest.

[joeschmo_57]

Gangsterness is now the only option.

[ae86]

updates or imma hastle you on facey

[marvis]

I poked some holes in it and moved it out the back for a party.. I should probably start stripping it and porting one of the heads I got here..

[elda_bob]

just get it driving.
haha yes there may be some oil leaks.
<3

[LittleRedSpirit]

Looks like a solid plan for a motor.

How much does it weigh?

Much more than a ke70? Itd have to be at least 100kgs heavier? Any idea?

[marvis]

Like 1100KG.

[marvis]

Sump is heaps higher then the cross member also :) Stoked!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Pigturezz plz

[Jdm-Mcc]

[marvis]

I want those stickers!

[Danny t]

Hurry up and do some work on it! >@

[trikzlane]

what d has said :)

[stx-16]

does this have air-con???

[marvis]

^^ LOL


Waiting on cash from 86 sale, then I will have money to build engine and get the other body here.

Don't know if I should rego when engine and body is done ( I won't paint until I have wheels, just incase) or just do it after suspension ( I don't mind skidding the stock wheels from the supra)

You guys are always welcome to come over and help :P

[Jacobxxx]

after body and engine, why bother waiting for suspension when it takes like a day to swap everything?

[marvis]

Because I have no real need for driving it on the street until suspension is done, except for running it in?

[70XIN]

every time i click on this thread, i like AA63's a little more. especially that white one with watas, i'd sell a kidney for it lol

what are you going to do about suspension marv? can you 'make' coilovers out of the front struts like an ae86? and what about the rear?

[trikzlane]

think it has spring and shock seperate, same as corollas

[marvis]

Will do the same as I have done in the supra. Cut strut 60mm, 40mm RCA, SW20 rear adjustable AGX probably? AE86 rack stuff fits for lock etc.

Rear AE86 springs and shocks fit, so TRD Blues and AJPS springs, Probably 10/8 spring rates. Maybe 9/7. Can get solid subframe mounts for these now too, from serial nine :)

White one is sooooo hot. I think I will do shit white paint untill I get good wheels then figure it out. It's only my midnight warrior.

Just checked serial nine, fucking bargin. Will have to buy now

[ill-minded]

I think I may need to get some of those subframe bushes. Considering the Superpro ones cost just as much, seems pretty good to me.

[marvis]

But what do do about swing arms?

[ill-minded]

Well, I was just planning to use the solid subframe bushes and just get Superpro bushes for the swingarms. You don't want an entirely rigid suspension for various reasons. Most of the rear end slop is due to the subframe bushes anyway.

[Intense]

Would you ever consider a 1gge conversion. Imagine a 1g with ITB's revving off its head. 2 litre too so more torques and it's not a terribly hard conversion into an a6x chassis either.

[marvis]

4cyl ftw. I wouldn't put a 6 in it.


No progress. I have some rack spacers, rear coilovers and light weight battrey sorted but ;) Oh and starter motor :)

Need to sell this corolla, and figure out where I am doing it..

[hachi_dk]

this is tough!

[n2866]

satin black bay is nice and easy. are you making this thing legalish?

[blair]

satin black bay is nice and easy. are you making this thing legalish?

I will personally punch marv in the dick if he does.

<3

[Pidgey]

Both colours will look good.
Personal opinion, go purple with HEAPS of sparkles. And paint your interior the same colour.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Both colours will look good.

Haha yeah!

[marvis]

Pretty sure I'll go the purple with black cam covers. Glitter would be cool too!

Will have some pictures soon...

Someone gimme some extractors?? :p

[marvis]

Legalish? Hrrrmm, nah probably not...I will engineer when done hopefully, and won't get touched in qld.. So hopefully be ok. Will be lame height on ma61 wheels until I get good wheels and paint later on after suspension and other stuff.

[Pidgey]

Dude, you're going to get police attention either way. May as well be worth it.
HEAPS OF GLITTER.

Does is go brooomm brooomm yet?

I just got it monday LOLOL. Got HEAPS to do.

Engine will be in next week? Need to find a clutch, and do the seals in it, shorten oil cooler lines and install.. Pull out engine, swap RWD parts, Seam weld engine bay and paint + clean. Install new engine.

Will do for now to skid on..

Yesterdays progress, big thanks to Ian, Elda Bob and Dan!

Got a power steering cooler! Cool!

Got some extractors sorted and it already has an exhaust :D

When we dropped the oil a liter of water came out first.. Was awesome.

[R&D Mechanical]

wow shes fucked, nice work marv, cant wait for updates!

[marvis]

Getting exedy hd clutch tonight, flywheel machined, extractors. YYYEEAAHHH.

I'm thinking of doin some gussets from strut tower to firewall or should I use a tube? I would like to do it from the front of the tower to the rails too... Any suggestions?

Also should I seam weld or stitch weld? Stitch welding will flex where seam will crack? Not as stiff then?

[ill-minded]

CHS from strut towers to firewall won't really do anything dude. The firewall flexes way too much. If you wanted to do that, you'd be installing a full weld in cage. Keep it simple, dude.

Also, I think the question you want is, "Should I weld the seams with stitches or tacks".

[marvis]

I'll upload gusset pics when I can to show you some ideas. Gold 86 above has em. Should come around Sunday dude!

[marvis]

Example of gusset.

http://noriyaro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/noriyaro_goto_ae86_pits_16by10.jpg

[marvis]

Totally going to do that! And brace from castor brackets. Mmm

So keen on purple engine bay!

Got a clutch! Hd exedy! Luke <3

So keen!!

[ke_70]

they wouldnt do fuck all. look cool though.
id make some fender braces if your trying to brace up the front abit. they're pretty simple to make and are hidden

[ill-minded]

Pretty much what ke_70 said, dude. Gusseted plates aren't really gonna do anything other than add wank factor. If you go and build a proper strut brace and triangulate it back to the firewall, that'd be the best way to stiffen the front end and look cool in the process.

[marvis]

Wouldn't the gusset do the same thing? I see it heaps in ae86's

[ill-minded]

Nope. Well, the effect would be negligible and I doubt you'd actually feel or notice any difference with gussets. Triangulated strut braces stop a whole lot more flex. Trust me on this one. Pretty much the first rule to make any frame rigid (or more rigid) is to triangulate shit.

[n2866]

^^ triangulate stuff. the gusset may be strong but its going to the fire wall which is really flexible and kinda thin..across the caster rods sounds ok but usally people go from the stut towers through into the cabin to the cage.

[marvis]

I'll still do it.

I flagged stitch welding and engine bay paint for now. I'll just give it a clean up as the paint seems mint under all the shit.

Found a sweet glitter purple for it when I swap engines again though.

[marvis]

And I will be doing the same :)

Hopefully it can take it..

[marvis]

Engine in today hopefully! Just got to wack flywheel on and clutch (Thanks Danny and Luke <333)

Would my tank have baffles like the JDM 86 tanks? I hope so :)

[ke_70]

yeah it would have.

knowing your luck/history the 4age wont last long

[bigm]

the whore of a 4a will love it!

good to see progress man..


but i shat myself when i saw the engine pics from the last page, thought they were of the new motor haha

[Jacobxxx]

someone needs to trim their fingernails

[marvis]

LOL.

So anyways it's all in and running, the clutch slave pin doesn't push the fork all the way, so no clutch ATM, I will be checking it out tomorrow.. Need to mount oil cooler better, lines are in a funny angle ATM.

Started first go and it goes well, I was expecting it to be slower.

Thanks to Aaron, Bob, Mereki for all the help :)

So keen for touge!

[trikzlane]

all in the name of peg legging :)

[floody]

Personally I think its hard to go past silver or white for the engine bay, obviates leaks, cracks, chassis flex etc.

If you had to go purple...Would be better if it wasn't a ripply bog and shitty weld filled pit like the green car's, and more neat and tidy like the black engine bay.

[marvis]

I have been sick over the last week having ear problems again, so I have done nothing.. I need to sort out the clutch slave and weld the diff :) Was going to take it to touge as the car is close to it :) :)

I need to measure the boot also for Ducktail.

I am thinking about doing an oil cooler setup like this (http://aishagarage.com/translation/86article_pg16.jpg), as it's hard to fit in-front of my aircon...

Or should I take it out? I'd sorta like to keep air con, but it does get in the way of my sandwich plate and it needs to face the firewall, also making it close the the exhaust manifold..

Hrrmmm.

[Pidgey]

Keep aircon so you're nice and cool for those hot summer night touge sessions...
Plus above mentioned setup looks cool.

[phil-720]

looking good dude whens the 7age goin in or did u ditch it

[marvis]

The pin definitely doesn't go far enough, I will need to inspect. I will bleed after that has been sorted to see if it's leaking.

Any comments on the oil cooler location?

7AGE is flagged at the moment, I want to do body work/rego/suspension then I will build an engine. Hopefully it lasts until then.

[ecko]

marvis i must be blind i cant see the oil cooler in those pics, can you describe where it is?

also just buy a new slave easy theyre not expensive

[marvis]

Number 4, it's under the rad support if you are talking about the magazines.

But the slave will be the same, and the pin won't be long enough?

[benzo]

Yes @ oil-cooler location, Keep A/C

[ecko]

so this is using the standard 4age with t50 and standard bellhousing? and the standard slave doesnt reach the clutch fork?

maybe try the slave out of your sprinter?

[marvis]

It has a different bearing/sleeve, which is why I think it's doing it. I was looking at it the other day and it wasn't leaking. I assumed it was leaking because it was popping the seal out as it wasn't going far enough.

I will look at it wends hopefully.

It's a JDM box, so it's on the driver side, different slave.

That car is gone now too.

[marvis]

I'm an idiot.

My FC oil cooler was behind the grill on my old Celica, so really I should be able to do it.. I just might need some 90deg lines and to cut the back of my grill out.. It's in there now but it's on and angle and zip tied.. Sort want it done correctly.

Some bad photo's... I haven't touched it for two weeks! LOL

[marvis]

^^ HOTTTT. Her car is why I got a old celica.


20v is so much easier/cheaper though + marv being a pov

I want 7AGTE later on.


you shall be at QR?

i vote 1 for 20v in this

Nah, fuck QR man. If you are going hit up sam and come out with him after :)

[marvis]

Put the supra suspension in this, went for a slide..

Just managed to skid second a few times (wheel alignment was fucked and front tire was low in pressure) But it wouldn't do a sick stl on brakes? Maybe It needs to be fiddled with or something, just didn't seem right..

Clutch seal was fucked, got another and extended the pin, but it's really soft untill near the bottom then it get really hard and feels really strange, WTFFF, almost like something is binding...

Had a fuuccckeeed day, been working on it all day, then the 15" watas wouldn't fit on (fouled coilovers) which had good tires.. Found out AA63 calipers don't fit on MA61 struts/brakes.

Off to bed, so fucked.. Thanks to everyone that helped today/tonight!

[ae86 slide]

I hate that feeling, 1 step forward 5 back.
Cool car man, hang in there.
soft then really hard clutch, I know this is obvious but air in the lines or trapped in the master cylinder?
Good luck dude

[marvis]

Nah, it bleeds fine. Doesn't feel like a fluid problem.

[marvis]

I think it's because the pin is so long and it's making the fork go on a funny angle, I will need to look into it..

Also I think TVIS is closed, it doesn't seem to open and sound any different, I have driven TVIS cars before and it's not right...

[ke_70]

do these run an f series lsd?

looks like you had some fun :)

[ill-minded]

They are the stock wheels, 15 x6. I didn't have tires for 14's.

Fix rust, MA61 rims then suspension then cool wheels and paint.

Fixed

[ke_70]

screw the rust. to much of it just drive the pants off it!

[marvis]

I'm half and half.

After taking it for a drive I realized I am still wreck-less as fuck even though it's a rare car, so I don't know if rust is worth doing.. I will see.

It does add character and I can always fix later on.

[Danny t]

Good to see you haven't binned it yet kent!

Fuck rust. We wil be exchanging paint soon anyway <3

[skizzamods]

If your going to the effort of painting it, may as well just fix it. I don't know how bad it is though.

[ke_70]

fix the rust as you crash/repair it. :)

[marvis]

I have been stuck in bed for a week, hopefully do some small work on it this weekend/ next week.

I got a power steering cooler out of a MZ20 which is a big upgrade from stock :)

I'm going to yank TVIS.

[Beefy_Heafy]

Slow and steady progress here marv. Tell me about what happened to the spot. I may or may not go soon

[marvis]

TVIS is actually fine, I took this out drifting, was good.. I hit a solid reflector (I thought it had a rubber base) and my gear box is leaking, which caught fire LOL.

Some pictures.

Spare oil ftw. Twinky wheel is also timeless, this car is groovy.

[marvis]

Oil was in there when I got it.. Wheel is on the big side, but it is better then what was in there...

I am surprised at how it drifted on cut kings on bumpstops, it's bumpy as fuck.

Hopefully take it out this weekend, I need to drop the box and do some other things. Throwout is making crazy noises.

[tristannn]

loool. had to find out how hard it was somehow...

^^lol!!

Good to see she's getting skidded :)

[bigm]

much <3

motor is loving it?

[marvis]

Motor seems strong, I have been raping the shit out of it.

I really need some extractors, I got some TRD copies but they flow like shit and have been fixed up.. I don't think I will bother putting them in...

[spiderman]

Like how shit? Gotta be better than the factory cast jobbie.

[joeschmo_57]

nah i noticed stuff all improvement with the trd copies over the stock ones. They are a decent ,manifold from factory!

[marvis]

That is what I have been told :)


oi marvis i found a greddy oil cooler themo sammich plate like urs on ebay for 170 and 50 shipping from the usa. is that about what u paid for yours?

Around that :)

[willa]

nah i noticed stuff all improvement with the trd copies over the stock ones. They are a decent ,manifold from factory!

I've been told by a few old school guys that toyota stuff does flow very well from factory!

I hope you hit full health soon marv and make this rig fat. :)

[Pidgey]

Have you fixed the dent yet?
Sit in the boot and just kick the shit out of the panel, this worked wonders for me lol. You probably already know this technique though.
Oh yeah, one more thing.
YOU NEED REGO!

[marvis]

I did it a little bit, but got over it.


New additions, will go in tomorrow. MZ20 power steering cooler to replace the factory crap and extra lock rack ends :) Big thanks to Danny T for doing the rack ends, dude is fucking awesome.

[BLACK COUPE]

Minnnnnnnnttttttt

[Beefy_Heafy]

Good stuff. Should give u that lock u need marv!!!

[marvis]

I will get custom steering arms later down the track also.

[Hachi_Tom]

since these are power steering, can you not run the AJPS style of bolt on spacers as they will fuck the rack seals?

your old celica was fucking awesome. cant wait to see this skidding in person.

[marvis]

Yeah it can, I would rather run these though :)

Power steering cooler in!

http://i.imgur.com/InFze.jpg

Good tire wear, flip and win.

http://i.imgur.com/xX0M9.jpg

[bigm]

The benefit of running those rack end is the steering rack still maintains the same length, unlike the bolt on spacer that makes it longer, This effects the relationship between the steering rack length and the distance between the LCA mounting (pivot point). Bump steer and others crap is affected with the rack gets longer


Looks like a mini IC marv haha,

[Pidgey]

I love how wreckless you are in this thing lol.
You're so lucky you didn't get caught!

[elda_bob]

So ruthless.

[marvis]

Clutch is all fixed, did some drifting was sweet..


I love how wreckless you are in this thing lol.
You're so lucky you didn't get caught!

Oh man, they fully knew it was me too. Lucky the 4AGE is so fast!

Car still needs more lock..

Got to throw it around so hard.. I hit some more stuff..

[marvis]

I have said what it is.. PS cooler from a MZ20.

[GOT-20V]

Does that Rotary oil cooler have a thermostat inside it?

[Beefy_Heafy]

yeah it does. Thats what makes them popular. big cooler with inbuilt thermostat. off series 4 and 5 rx7

[marvis]

thats some mighty fine offset there boy'o, meaning....

This is your first warning for lack off coolness with this car, continue on tho ;)

[marvis]

I don't have anything else, suspension first, wheels last.

[Jacobxxx]

What is the plan on suspension for this?

[marvis]

RA65 strut, cut 60mm, something like a AGX shock, swift 10kg, AJPS RCA, custom steering arms, boxed LCA's (not sure what length, will depend on wheels) not sure about castor rods yet.. Rear TRD Blues and 8kg springs, solid subframe bushes.

That is my overall plan..

[coFF33]

Why not go get megan racing like i did marv, save you the hassle of all that, completely adjustable and front and rear whole setup for like just over 1k ?

???????

[marvis]

I'd prefer a custom setup with good proven brands.

[Pidgey]

Marvis likes making things hard for himself. =D
Why 10/8's for such a light car?
Is it because the IRS squats a lot or something?

[blair]

its heavier than an 86, and there are a few 86's running 9-7 that work well...

just gotta get the decent shocks to match :)

[Jacobxxx]

why not Bc front coilovers minus spindal for $640 then weld RA spindals on. eaassy

[benzo]

I LYK DISSS. Off-white paint, satin black 14x8.5/9.5 XR4, subtle yellow tint, blacked out oval muffler, satin black bay.

spelling is over rated anyway

[Beefy_Heafy]

What's progress bro? Been fiddling with mine some. Found a few extra horses hiding in the crappy pcv system. Herded them back down into the rear wheels!

[trikzlane]

hes a poor kent

[marvis]

Nothing much.. I have one point until I get my opens in November so I am in no hurry..

Been spending cash on the daily, did a HG and some other junk, new wheels etc. Oh and specialists. Sooo muchh urgh..

I'm thinking about doing a short track or archie on cut springs LOLOL.

[marvis]

http://i.imgur.com/6hW0I.jpg

[dr1ft-pig]

LOL

[Beefy_Heafy]

haha thats hilarious!

also what is a "specialist"?

by daily u mean sunny right? that thing seems pretty nice

[marvis]

Specialist, my ear doctor, I might have meniere's disease, so I have been going heaps lately and getting tests etc.

[Beefy_Heafy]

haha yes. sorry was thinking about something for a car called a "specialist" looooool.
hmm well knowing what the issue is helps i guess. hope its not Meniere's disease. Hard to fix as far as i know.

[shift_rook]

if you need help with shocks pm me, what's budget like? i can set you up with something whether you want to spend 1k-5k, holla

[marvis]

What do you recommend? I'm poor as fuck but I'm not going to waste my money on shit.

[ecko]

Buy cheap sleeve kit and kyb excel G's for st185 celica should be less than $500 installed, plus s13 camber tops,

BC is deff the way to go for a full setup tho,
Find anything wrong with BC's?

[marvis]

I want little bit better then that, we got those in the supra and I don't like them, feel too soft. Maybe AGX adjustable and good springs..

[willa]

I want little bit better then that, we got those in the supra and I don't like them, feel too soft. Maybe AGX adjustable and good springs..

Usually places dedicated to making springs (not just car, any kind of springs) can do you a spring to the rate, i.d/o.d, free height and shape (as in flattened top or bottom, tapered etc) that you request. When I got a set done they were about the price of a pair from an auto dealer. Just make sure you have all the specs, and maybe even a sample.

[blair]

I want little bit better then that, we got those in the supra and I don't like them, feel too soft. Maybe AGX adjustable and good springs..

My agx's are better than my trd yellows were. I just wish there was a 2.5 notch lol. 2/4 is a tickle soft for 9's and 3/4 is a tickle hard!

[70XIN]

Yep robo likes his AGX's heaps (and he's had TRD yellows and TRD 5-way adjustable blues). I am also gonna give them a go, since my blues were absolutely farked :D

(Lemme know how cheap you can get them, i can at a very reasonable price)

[trikzlane]

just weld the shock still bro, gets the hektic dwifta suspenion

[blair]

HAHA my mechanic has some scary stories of when they used to do that!!

[Beefy_Heafy]

just weld the shock still bro, gets the hektic dwifta suspenion

terrible haha

[marvis]

That is what it feels like at the moment on bump stops.. Soooooo hard.

[ecko]

if you get AGX's buy from america, i got a full set delivered fr the price a pair would cost in aus

[Beefy_Heafy]

aus car parts industry seems super overpriced. is this true?

[blair]

Very true, you should see the difernece between Toyota Aus and Toyota Nz Parts rediculous really

[Beefy_Heafy]

yeah i spend a lot of time over on supramania with my a70 and all the usa guys state prices from toyota for various things that are either not available here or 3x more expensive. so criminal :p

[marvis]

ARGH FUCK.

I found some big TWIN CAM stickers for the doors, but I can't find them on Ebay again... Just small ones..

[marvis]

Awesome thanks!

I'll probably just get a small one for back window :)

[bigm]

less stickers

more shorttrack wall

[marvis]

Not A goof idea on bumpstops!

[bigm]

remove bumpstops?

profit?

[marvis]

Then it will be metal on metal..

[Jacobxxx]

im failing to see an issue with that

[marvis]

Drives like shit!

[Jacobxxx]

Old Marv would

[bigm]

cut away bumpstop mounts

profit


<3 hahah

[marvis]

Then I got soft shit suspension.

I'll skid on the street like it, but I don't want to pay like 150-200 for shorttrack and it be lame. VERY tempting but.

[Pidgey]

I'll skid on the street and nearly bin it into ditches
Fixed. I was following you when this happened, so funny!
You need suspensionz.

[Jacobxxx]

Do you not run springs or something (didn't bother reading thread too much)? i have some real small 5kg ajps ones that could workz?

[Jdm-Mcc]

LOL! springs are a good idea

[marvis]

Cut kings on bumpstops, extra lock rack ends.

[bigm]

i also have some short 5kg ajps springs. been cut obviously but may be better? pretty sure they are still there

[marvis]

No money ATM, no biggie as I "shouldn't" drive it for a little while.

When meg raises the supra I'll have my Trd blues and cut 6kg/mm

Thanks!

[marvis]

I am going to get stuck into the body work soon and I am having some troubles thinking of a color..

Beige with beige bumpers, purple tint with purple interior and bay.
Beige with black bumpers, purple tint with purple interior and bay.
White with glitter, black bumpers, purple tint with purple interior and bay.
White with glitter, white bumpers, purple tint with purple interior and bay.
Black with glitter, purple tint with purple interior and bay.

K12 brown and blue are fucking awesome too.

Ideas?

on another note, if u need a hand working on this let me know man, always keen to muck around with old toyotas :)

Sussy should be first!

Agreed on white/beige with black bumpers.
Dark wine/maroon would be hot though. More and more I think about it, the better it gets in my head.

White with glitter, white bumpers, purple tint with purple interior and bay.

this would look rad and be easy upkeep. remember to delete the black stripping. that angular line it leaves behind is what makes the white coupe look so good

[Pidgey]

My vote goes to beige/ivory. I'm biased though ^.^
Beige, black bumpers, purple interior/bay/tint with HEAPS of sparkles.
And bright yellow cage.

[marvis]

^ I don't think a flake would work in beige.
