The Blue Turd

[IHeartMosh]

Got this on the weekend, 82 ke70 flat front, a few dints, all major rust has been done, standard 4k-c the vacuum lines are all there surprisingly everything is stock except for window tint. Got plans for this when I get the dough, it'll be budget for the time being, last night I sort if prepared for a road worthy, being an apprentice mechanic I should be shun for some of the thing I had to do 28933
28934
28935
2893628937
The wheels are goin to be the first to go, I have a pair of Volk rays meshies lined up next weekend if all gos well, fitted an omp dish steering wheel and purple dildo shifter.

I rolled it up on the hoist at work to check it over, when you geared down it was spluttery, at first I thought it was the points gap, but after lifting the bonnet and noticing that the fuel pump was leaking terribly from the bleeder hole, I figured my diaphragm was shagged, luckily though my boss has a buggy with a 4k bolted in it, I unbolted it and pulled both apart. Curiosity killed the cat. 28940289412894228943
Believe it or not the one with the rusty valve plate was the good one. After I bolted all that together, I figured I'd check timing, it was set to 15 degrees advanced I wound it back to 8 and set the mixture again, runs sweet now.
Then I noticed an exhaust leak, there was a few rust holes in the resonator, it was about 9.30 and I was tired and wanted to go home but I had I booked in for a roady the next morning, I'm not that brilliant with welding so I figured I'd have to dodgy it a lil, 2894428945
You can see where this is going........28946
Surprisingly it worked I couldn't believe it, I roughed it up abit and threw some primer on it, so hopefully it'll pass the roady, my door hinges are completely screwed but I've got a set on there way.
In my lunch break today I figured I'd use a bit of strap exhaust pipe to make a pig pipe tip, it'll do for now but I want twins that'll curve up near the bumper
28947
I call it the piglet pipe.
I'm open to ideas! planning on a conversion leaning toward 18rg but still thinking about it
Updates soon.

[drift kid]

Fuck yea looks mint dude, I love the piglet pipe too haha, and same steering wheel as me! I love the suede wheel, heaps better than my leather one before, more grip, have fun with this gem, don't wreck it :)

[IHeartMosh]

Thanks man! Yeah I had the steering wheel on an old rn25 hilux, it's got a good feel to it. I'll do my best to keep it straight haha.

[IHeartMosh]

Passed roady! I have a gig with my band tomorrow night so should give me a good feel to the car, the piglet pipe Is on! 28963
28964
28965
A mate at work just lost his licence so I have to drive him to and from, payment is he'll help me get shit done! He gave me a Sony head unit to wire in. RAD TUNES! Now I won't be just listening to the passenger door howl from being stuffed, it'll be up sooner or later 28966
Throwing my 14" steelies on tomorrow to fill the guards up abit, might even chop springs til I put kings in, did somebody say purple?28967
28968
My rockers need to be set every few cycles the exhaust seems to wanna suck fumes back in, but that can wait. 28969
Can anyone tell me what diff this is? I think it's a Borg but I am clueless,
Still open for ideas this things crying for mods, Updates soon!

[s13 james]

[IHeartMosh]

28995
What's this switch do?

[Seventy]

Rear window de-mister

[IHeartMosh]

This makes so much sense, thank you!

[IHeartMosh]

28999
Got rego Friday, didn't really get to do anything on this throughout the weekend, mostly because I had to help a mate with his, he has a four speed and a s series diff, he sat on about 4-5000 rpm for two hours from toowoomba to qr in Bris, points melted together and coil shat itself. Go figure. Short ratio diffs don't like highways :P

[Seventy]

Haha, I get annoyed enough from mine sitting on 3500ish at 100km/h

[IHeartMosh]

I have a 1975 Rn25 hilux, column shift four speed and it sits on 4000 at 90kms haha

[drift kid]

Looking goood but pleasee lose the purple parkers lol

[IHeartMosh]

Already have haha, getting white ones soon, Volk rays tomorrow night!!

[IHeartMosh]

290022900329004
Oil change today, runs abit better got 400kms out of a tank, needs to warm up so I can give it a coat of paint

[drift kid]

Very good

[IHeartMosh]

Guess who got a pair of 14" Volk rays meshies with stretched tyres :D 29010
290112901229013
Need low, maybe this weekend

[drift kid]

Slammm eittt

[IHeartMosh]

(Y) Fuckyes!

[IHeartMosh]

Slamming this week sometime, dumping exhaust just before resignator, saving for a 38/38 weber carb until 18rg or 4age, need another pair of 14"s either ssr's or advans, and diff locking will happen soon

[Jimmee1990]

I would go 4age, 18rg's are getting pretty hard to find parts for.

[IHeartMosh]

What about 22re engines? A friend told me they were quick

[Jimmee1990]

All the R series engines would be pretty heavy for a little corolla, and they don't really go that well anyway without a lot of work. Stick with something small and light, otherwise you'll most likely end up with a car that doesn't handle.

[IHeartMosh]

Yeah I suppose so I have a 12r in a hilux and it's sluggish, I'm just not looking forward to all the wiring of a 4age plus all the converting to hydralic clutch

[IHeartMosh]

Last night I got a couple of things done, had to take off my Volks because the tyres were screwed, back on 13"s til payday, and I cut the exhaust out before the resignator because the leak was annoying me, sort of regret it but I like the sound, will be okay until payday, but lesson learn about safety glasses, chunk of metal straight into the pupil 29053
290542905529056

Slammed!! Hitachi universal lowering kit, finally doesn't feel like a boat when you throw it into a corner. Spirit wing this week and then saving for chrome bumpers, not doing quad lights anymore because everyone's going batshit crazy over them plus I like the old look!
More updates soon!

[IHeartMosh]

Camber tops organised for this week!

[joeschmo_57]

If you don't want to do the wiring, just go carbs?

[drift kid]

Bangin dude!

[IHeartMosh]

Thanks man! Carbyd 4age sounds good, I changed plugs and leads today............. My piston rings will be shot, saving for an engine and 4age is the way to go, I'm heading into the army soon, so the engine should last that long. Hopefully.

[IHeartMosh]

29290 Tachometer dash with led's!

[drift kid]

Winningg

[IHeartMosh]

[IHeartMosh]

29442
29443

[drift kid]

Permanent borrow???

[wagonlife]

Trust me. He will be giving them back haha.

PAINT IT ALREADY

[IHeartMosh]

[wagonlife]

[IHeartMosh]

2967229673
29674
Watanabe's on the rear, and full 2" exhaust with hot dog res, just to keep me out of troubles haha

[drift kid]

Winnar

[IHeartMosh]

Paint! It came up "okay" for a rattle can, I need to do the whole body sometime soon. 296892969029691

[stahlz_ae86]

Even just removing the last of the mess from the bump strips (drivers door) will make a huge difference.

Looking good though, keep at it.

[IHeartMosh]

Yeah I started to take it off today, I wish the last guy didn't rip them off, that shit is near impossible haha

[stahlz_ae86]

Wax and grease remover can help a bit, but if you don't care too much about the paint and intend on re-painting later thinners will help heaps.

[IHeartMosh]

I started using turps, some one else had a go with sand paper, there is paint gone above the line

[japlish]

get a vanilla wheel

[IHeartMosh]

So I changed the oil and filter a few days ago, the piston rings are fine, I used a heavier viscosity oil (Hpr-50) so it's not burning oil anymore :D

[drift kid]

Looking good, take the rear bar off, spirit wing or similar and win time

[IHeartMosh]

I'd take the rear bar off but qld police would cut up my license haha
