crackett's S1 TE72 'Rally Spec...atm...."

[crackett]

So after having two ae86's, a KE70 I left the 'scene' for a while and purchasing my 'midlux' whilst I concentrated on work and personal life. I soon grew tired of not busting skids, having a loud exhaust and all those things that come with mid-80's Toyota's.

So I saved for a while and decided I would build another KE70 as I prefere the shape to that of the 86. I then changed my mind after constently witnissing way to many retards on the streets (Blackwood) in shit box *E7*'s. So what to get? I narrowed it down to either a mx73 cressida or a TE72. With mods like engine conversions and suspension in my mind i realised the 72 was a far better option, and that I would save the cressy for another day.

So I called my good friend at c1- Industries and grabbed the t18.

As is sits at the moment it's 'rally spec' consisting of:

Koni Ajustable shockerrrrrzz.
Custom King Springs incase I ever feel like turning it into a boat.
Extractors with fuck off long secondries
Aus-spec 14"6J meshies.
And K-Mac Castor/Camber tops.

The car isn't registered at the moment as I don't plan on driving it until it has a decent set up, ie, AJPS coilovers, sway bars, short stroke shocks, LSD and wheels. I am undecided on what wheels to run. I can get superlights reasonable cheap in 15"s although i do prefere 14"s. So for very little I could run 15"10J Superlights on the rear, and 15"8J up front. OR I could get a nice set on second hand Jap 14"s, what do you think?

Peace :)

[mike86]

looks the goods crackett. Interested in getting rid of the wheels? PM me if so

[crackett]

^^ Replied

[ian6375]

sick n shit, crackett

Are u gonna un-rally spec it or be different and do grip?

Either way its going to be a beast :2thumbs:

[bundy81]

Nice one anjew, gonna have to come up n check it out soon.

[crackett]

Hey ladies ;)


Yes un rally spec'd, although I did wish it had some rego left on it so I could take it out dirty rally but meh! Will mainly see grip, but we all know I'll bust skids here and there.

I love the look of C1 s2 front with chrome bars, but I don't want to be a copy cat, so I may go down the quadlight route, even though thats the 'in thing'


Superlights, watanbes or deep dish jap meshies with retro centres? Either way I will have alot of track on this car.

[RobertoX]

15x8 -9 challengers look tough on t18s!

do it....winning bundle price with coilovers too :P

[shinny]

you ever take it off any sweet jumps?? :teehee:

[federal]

i never got the chance to jump it...really wish i had...

[E7]

sweet as bro, not a fan of that front but hey its different :P lol

good luck mang need help give us a call baby

[stahlz_ae86]

Another pic 4 u...

[keto]

that uses the same light ey... just a new grill. looks good though. something unique

[crackett]

Quads do look better in my opinion, but thats not different anymore cause everyone has them.

Anyone got opnions on wheels? Argh keep changing my mind!

Have started cutting and shutting rust, will probably finish it off later tonight!

Oh and also, I am undecided on weather to strip the rear, the car wont be driven much at all, but I had a look at the rear last night and it was all very neat except the carpet above the wheel well, another pickle!


That's about it for now, any help/suggestions much appreciated.

[Sherlock]

Nice. I like the different front, Quads do look mint...but are everywhere now.

I agree with the superlights call for wheels, but I'd love to see a T-18 with some SSR Reverse meshies...

+1 for reverse mesh!
with white centers and car painted red, would look hot.

If i got down the jap part I will probably get watanabes (always had thing for them in black) or deep dish mesh with funk coloured centres.

Just started stripping the rear, not going to take out the sound deadening, as I want it to look pretty neat. All rear plastics will be painted black, and the interior chassis to be metallic charcoal. Sould come up alright.

Does anyone have a right rear tailight lense? Or no if you jew it has an T-18's?

Out.

[federal]

there is ONE and only ONE R/H tail-light at u pull it....

[crackett]

Which U-PULL IT?

PS- I double dibs it, full stop. No returns.

[federal]

lonsdale

[Konakid]

Interior should stay, quads look wak on t18's, probably one of the reasons they didnt come with them from factory!

[floody31]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>
deep dish mesh with funk coloured centres.[/b]

^FTW.

As for the interior...it weighs f#ck all, if its tidy enough, keep it.

[crackett]

Ah man, you guys are mind-fucking me!

I have pretty much sold the wheels, so will more than likley order some superlights soon.

I cbf having skid rims as I will be using the car once or twice every few weeks, so what trye size should I run on 15x10? I don't want to get defected straight away by running a 195 or 205, so what's best? I will also wanna skid, so I am really mind boggled? What will a 215 be like?

[federal]

seeing superlights only come in -26 in a 10 you are going to have to run flares similar to CBY to fit anything other than a 195/205

[RobertoX]

please get 8s

msn or pm me y0

10s are a nightmare

[floody31]

No offence intended to C1, but, 10s will be gayer than aids. Having seen the 8s all round its a nice look, much more together and less ghetto spec.

[RobertoX]

8s all round with 195, coronas, rolled guards, -2.5 inches height

win.

you have pm cracket!

oh no offence taken....i realise the mistake i made putting the 10's on the back...they looked dope, but were not a good move driving wise....although the extra track made it grip like a beast....

[RobertoX]

sure than wasnt dominos box aero...

[federal]

nah...dominos box aero wasnt on the table till just recently....

[crackett]

AHHHHH CRAP! I work around Porsche's all day so it's obviousy why I want so much track. If i don't run 10J on the rear I will probably get 14's. But then again I am very tempted to get my superlights lol.

FUCKING DECISIONS. Is there anyway they will tuck under an origin flare with 195 or 205?

[crackett]

Just saw a picture of the 10's in the AJPS section and they look mighty fine.

So can I stretch a 205 on and run bolt ons?

Do you still do bolt ons lawson, cause my mate needs some for his Subaru (l0l)??

[Konakid]

With 10's be prepared to last about a week driving on the streets, you'll get done for track in an instant.

Go 8's for street.

Go 10's for pose. Or Autosalon.

[crackett]

Car will hardly be streeted so I'm not to worried about defect thing, it's bound to happen anyways. Oh well decision will be made in coming weeks when the dosh comes in. Have also pretty much sold the wheels on there anyway.

Also- Have just taken out rear seats, and off with nana strips. Spent at least an hour trying to get the tow bar off, but its fucking connected behind the petrol tank which is a bitch cause I can't swing the petrol tank down with out doing alot of fucking round. Would angle grind the fucker off, but, well, you know...

[federal]

fuel tank is easy to drop out dude...

3 screws inside the filler flap and 2 14mm bolts and its dropped ;)

[crackett]

Just paid for my grille ect of Clint, so hopefully that will rock up soon and go in sweet.

Yeah I know, I should build my suspension ect up before I do cosmetics, but I just couldn't resist :D

[E7]

win, rego yet?

Saving for suspension now brother, with deffinitly be hitting you up for everything boss! Haha

[crackett]

Sold the wheels yesterday, so that will be funding my lsd ;)

Have decided to go jap wheels as I've seen about 5 sets of Superlight's in the last week ordered through my work. I prefered 14's anyways!


So my to do list in the next month or so will be...

LSD
Corona LCAs
Coilovers
Wheels

Whilst I'm spending all my money on that I'll start prepping the body some more!

[E7]

sick c**t, get it drivable soon!

[crackett]

Someone hook me up with an lLSD!

So tempted to get the lsd, wheels, primer it, cut the springs and drive it! Must resit though!

Spent a good hour our so taking the pinstripes off. Fuck it's a gay task, there were millions of them. Also did a fair bit of filling and fibre-glassing. I have a few more dings I need to get rid of, reckon I'm going to need to invest in a dent puller though. After that there is about 2 spots of rust that need to be finished and it will be ready for paint.

So does anyone have an LSD? Looking at spending around $500, preferably 2 way!

Cheers

[Konakid]

jay will when he gets back

[E7]

maybe even 10 or so....

[crackett]

When does he get back?

Need to get an LSD and sort some rims out?






But seriously, anyone have an LSD?

[Sherlock]

Wed I think? Worth the wait man, it'll be cheap and good quality...

[crackett]

Yaaa :D

My Japaaaaaan front turned up today, couldn't pick it up from the courier's though cause I was working. Will try pick it up and fit it up tomorrow night.

Pics soon.


Oh BTW I need Zenki LSD right?

[federal]

yes you need zenki...

[floody31]

If you do change your mind back to challengers... 8s all round look like this, courtesy TOY3TG. Have seen it in the flesh, fits mint.

[crackett]

What that mean Ian? lol

And Floody, that car is hot, so is the fitment, however I've decided to get 14's and if I'm running Jap front, Mirrors, and probably MotorFix bars, I really need Jap wheels.

My front end is in the shed, in the middle of putting it in now!

Will post up some pics tonight!

poser

[crackett]

Hardly, the bars on this car are fucked. I would much rather chrome ones, I'm trying to a price for them to be striaghtened and re-chromed, but it's will cost alot. MotorFix bars are only a possibility as this stage as I'm still figuring out what direction to go down as far as painting goes. Straighten car myself and paint myself, or get whole car panel beated and painted (including chrome bars). We will see...

Just put in the new front end, looks fucking sick as. Will post pics up as soon as I've had a bite to eat!

[Sherlock]

No time for food! MOAR PICZ! lol

[E7]

talk to me if your on msn :)

motorfix bars will cost you a fair bit more than a set of good chrome bars.....

Yes, but goodluck finding completly straight chrome bars. I said to myself I would have new, or refurbished bars on this car. So it's either MotorFix bars or straighten these...All depends on pricing :) Anyone got idea's on how much?

[chris1818]

Looks gay man...




















Haha nah its alright i guess :greenbounce:

Put massive 13's on it and slam its ass down :2thumbs:

[crackett]

I want it to handle good. So I'm going for a comprimise between handling and looks and opting for 14's.

[tez_306]

looks sick cnt wait till shes on the road

[bundy81]

u mad kent, front end looks awesome.

[starni_boy]

Looks like it got there in one piece! Good to see mate.

I think you put the grille upside down though. Sprinter badge should be more at the top.


EDIT*

Yep It's upside down. Look at the pics on the first page that stahlz_ae86 posted, The angles go up and out, not down and out.

But if you like the look of it like that, Leave it I guess.

[crackett]

Haha how embarrassing, I didn't even bother to consider it like that! Long day at work yesterday. Still looks cool though.

Will change it around tomorrow. Thanks again lol...

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/175938.jpg

Here is my latest challenge, I really have no idea how to tackle this rust! Sand and bog? I don't know how cutting it out would end up?

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/175939.jpg

Oh and here's my daily, maybe I should put some Jap 15's on there? Either that or some r34/350z stockies!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/175940.jpg

[bundy81]

looks much better with the grill up the right way ;)

[starni_boy]

Cut the rust out if you know what your doing, but it looks surface in that pic. Try sanding it with coarse paper first to see if it sands off. Then apply some rust converter to the bare metal areas, followed by a primer then a bog.

If it doesnt sand off/you know its more than surface rust, cut it out is the way to go if you know what your doing.

Grille looks good now, nice.

[crackett]

Yeah I've done a fair few rusto projects with old man and confident in welding and cutting. Just wasn't sure if it was the right place to be cutting out.

It's worse than surface, pics don't really give a good indication of how bad it is. Has anyone tried any of those rust treatmeant products? Doubt they will do the job?

If not, I'm off to the shed tonight with ye old angle grinder...EEEEEP!

[bigm]

from my experience with the rust treatment stuff, the best they do is stop the rust from spreading. so its not ideal

front end looks sweet man, I'm lovin the grill and crome bumber setup.

[ae71]

dude, id think that r34 wheels would be rediulessly expensive for a daily uteous.

go with some jza80 wheels or perhaps r33 wheels?

[crackett]

Can get r34 stockies for about 500 almost new with new tread. Had them come into my work several times. The more I think about it, the more i would like it low as with some Jap mesh!

[crackett]

Just painted the interior of the car black. Looks dope as, only a few bits left to do, just need to grab some more paint.

Will put some pics up when I get a camera as I just smashed the screen on my good new phone AGAIN!

ARGH!

[mike86]

Did you remove the sound deadening or just spray over it?

[starni_boy]

Can or Spray Gun?

Just left it in there for now to see how it would turn out. Will have a go at the sound deadening next weekend.

Can or Spray Gun?[/b]

Just used some old rattle cans at home just to have a look what it would look like. As I was unsure weather to go white or black. Tried black and liked it. I've got some auto gloss black paint at home, so once the sound deadining it out, I'll use the spray gun and should come even cleaner.

I decided to leave all the rear plastics in, because removing them isn't going to reduce shit all weight, and it will look alot cleaner with them in as I've cleaned, primered and painted them all black.

[GHETTOKE70]

looks good crack dog i see youve added to my sterring wheel how much did the front end set up cost

[crackett]

HAHA yeah, do you want the skid wheel back sometime soon? Still got to get a Lousi off Lawson soon.

Front end only cost a few hundred :)



No updates, just doing body work and putting all my money away for a set of wheels when Jay gets back, and a brand new Cusco 2way off brother Lawson.

[RobertoX]

should be good!

should take it rally specs before you spend coin on it

[crackett]

Thinking of purchasing some 14x8 mk11s and polishing them up. Just waiting on a reply on offset and should be good to go if offset is good.

What do you guys rekon? I have a good feeling they will suit the car perfect.




I have also aquired 12 185/60/14 Adrenaline Potenzas. If anybody wants some PM me and ill probably only use 8 of them!

[Konakid]

Howd you hook that up? PM me with price dawg.

Definately go SSR for wheels cos if you fuck one, can repair the lip or buy a brand spanker off yahoo.

14x8J is mint with 185/60, 7.5J is stress free as far as cops go though.

[crackett]

The offset is +2 so I'm deffintly grabbing them! YEW! Did have a budget of about $1800 for wheels not including tyres, so I have a lot letf over for other mods and refurbishing the wheels.

PM sent Hen.

[starni_boy]

[crackett]

That video is dope town, very similar!

Also, thank's to Justin for hooking me up with some taillights stress free and quickly :)

Just trying to organise postage for some mk11's and then should be good to go!

So just putting some money together for a new Cusco 2way, after that should be good to go for a few months rego and many a skid!

[crackett]

Might have gone abit over board with the springs today. Actually is stupid low in the rear considering the front is still rally spec. Will put a pic up later, eep!

[crackett]

Pics as promised. It just got some shitty ROH 15x6.5 skidders that came off my mkI Escort on there at the moment untill new wheels turn up. Hoping that's sorted with in the next week or so.

Here's the rear ghetto styles. When I strip the sound deading again I'm not sure if I should take out the plastics or not? Also it will be re-done Metalic Charcoal or just white? Any ideas?

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/177580.jpg

[Sherlock]

Interior colour I reckon white would look mint. And I like the look of no plastics. My 2 cents :P

[Konakid]

Charcoal ftw, darker = subtle.

[Beau]

i love t18s! looks good!

[E7]

lol so much rust ghahahahha

[crackett]

That rear quarter is the only bit I haven't fixed yet. Only surface so it will go soon. Some of it will also be done when it's panel beated.

[ian6375]

the rust doesnt look as bad in person... or am i remember wrong? lol
