Hi all have had my T-18 for about 2 months. I wasnt looking for one but my dads next door neighbour wanted to sell it for $500 with 5 monts rego so i thought why not and am glad i made the decision, i love it.
What its got:
3TC that sounds like a diesel
Looking into either 4age conversion or rebuilding a NA 3TC beast lol
Susupension Rear:
Green TRD 8 way Adjustable shocks
Blue 6kg Sprions
Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod
Suspension Front: (to do this weekend)
Excel G Short Stroke Shocks
8kg AJPS Springs
Rims:
Rear MA61 running 185/60/14 GIII's
Front Hoshino Racing 7.5" -1 running Fedaral 205/60/14 soon to be 185/60/14 GIII's
Body:
Some kind of bright blue, a bit of rust here and there but not to bad.
To do:
New Engine
Weld diff
Fix rust and respray
Fit front and back Strut Brace
Strip interior and mod plate for 2 seater
Update
*Got a set of OBX racing extractors from USA
*Fitted XT130 control arms, 30mm Cusco RCA's
24 mm front Whiteline swaybar, Most of the rust fixed and
just waiting on the AJPS front springs and it will be back on the road.
*Looking for some camber tops that will fit Series 1 struts???????
*Will be fitting a locked 4.1 in the next month or so and getting the extractors and a custom 2" exhaust built and fitted.
*Have just rebuilt some Solex 40mm carbs that will go on after the engine rebuild.
*Got a quote on a engine rebuild, quote from Motor Improvemnts in Melbourne ( my granfathers company ) will be about $2500 for complete rebuild basically cost of parts. Nice Lumpy Cam, Forged Pistons and Con Rods.
Thanks to JHS for continuing to help me out with all my noob questions. Legend
Hopefully can get some pics up soon when i get a camera, i have one but i cant put it up for some reason.

hey mate,
have you converted it to rack and pinion steering? if not, you have unlimited lock, just grind/ajust the lock stops on the lca's.

Nah not yet and dont think i will be in the near future. Im getting some xt130 LCA's soon. I dont need extra lock at the moment as my fronts already hit the guards lol but i do have power steering arms and want extra lock just got to add some castor so the fronts clear.

I'll be making up some rear t18 strut braces soon man, if your interested? Harness mounting yo!

Yeh for sure. I have a front and rear strut brace for AE86 just got to change to AE86 camber tops so the front fits not sure about the rear strut brace havnt tried to fit it yet.

25th June 2007, 12:24 PM
If its a spec one mate, they dont fit. I have tried :(
T18's require a fair bit wider brace.
I can make one for us in the next fortnight if you want? Cromo construction pimp as, pm me.

Does anyone know if AE86 upper and lower trailing arms are the same length, as i been told that the AE86 new super pro bushes i bought for my AE86 wont fit in the T-18 ones and that there is no T-18 specific ones available.
stouty
27th June 2007, 09:21 PM

Photos are still required.
Not sure you're gonna find cambertops to suit the S1 strut top, probably easiest option is to get AE86 ones and redrill the strut top mount holes.

6th December 2007, 01:39 PM
Yes was going to look at doing that but not for a little while going to concentrate on other stuff first then go coilovers and cusco tops.
JHS has told me that stroke adjustable KEI office ones fit but i just have to find a pair now?????????????
Will get pics up tonight or tomorrow night sorry for delay.

JHS had to redrill for his height adjustable ones to fit. (which were kei office)
I was there ;)

Yup Chris redrilled his shit.
Just buy 86 ones. Cusco/T3 come recommended.
Get a front strut brace and you wont even know ;)

Exactly!
Any minor minor rigidity losses thanks to the redrilled tops will be instantly gained back / reinforced!

I think i might have misinterperated ( spelling ) something that JHS said to me.
So Cusco ones will fit if i redrill the holes???
Bustin_86
6th December 2007, 02:18 PM
Yep.
All ae86 ones will.
No brand big name blinged out etc.

It wouldn't be the first time.....
But yes, Cusco gear / T3 / Kei office / whateverbrand camber tops to suit an AE86 will fit if you redrill.

What JHS is saying is my problem.
Bustin_86
6th December 2007, 02:29 PM
Hmmmm didnt even think of that problem.
So you need a proper oval camber top? It cant be traingle-ish?
RobertoX
6th December 2007, 02:34 PM
cusco have a low caster camber top for this issue
it is still not exact but by FAR the best
not to mention the BEST quality
stouty
6th December 2007, 02:37 PM
So these TEIN ones will fit???

6th December 2007, 02:39 PM
Pretty sure Tein ones for 86 is the one on the left.
Ie triangleish, ie will not fit.
I might have access to some oval ones, not cusco, bit more expensive to.
If you want the cusco tops though the low castor ones that david is talking baout sounds the go.
RobertoX
6th December 2007, 02:39 PM
you will have to oval hole
