Hi All, I posted in the "pickup Thread" sum time back.
Often read here but seldom post... KE's are starting to pick up here in South Africa...
Anyhooo, this is my drag, drift, gymmie, open track toy...
Having had a 4agze'd AE93 this was a drop in torque... but hey.. the RWD drivetrain makes up for that
After going thru 3 x 3t gearboxes Thanks to a buddy connection aka Elton, i sourced a 21R gearbox. Then thanks to another buddy bought a 4a bellhousing, 4agze Flywheel, Clutch and pressure plate, and 3/4 saturday afternoons, i swopped out the 3t for the 21R.
Had the Prop lengthened and balanced and presto!!! we had liftoff.
The gearbox was whining a bit but hey... I used ATF and till today it's going fine.
Then in december last year the Casing cracked right by the oil drain plug , day before Fast n Furious (a local year end racing event), I used a bit of Pratley steel (I'll never underestimate this stuff again!) and it's holding fine now for 9 months!! I just keep my eye on it tho
Drift Practice at Fast n Furious
Me entertaining the crowd at the startline
I then got sum pretty "feel good" TRD goodies for the Slantie the gear lever and Steering wheel:
Then a nice set of SPRINTER WHEELS.
BEFORE
After pics
and sprayed the sweet copper bronze i liked...
The metallic finish got wiped by the clear coat I used... so it's more of a bronze now
Gonna give them a flat then fit the tyres....
Still need to change the front PCD back to 114,3 though, cos the BBS's were 4x100
To do's:
Fit the SC12 lying in the shed,
Source and fit a M75 LSD (near impossible to find here let alone any decent aftermarket LSD) ,
Fit the Subaru front callipers i have,
Source and fit Coilovers...
Replace the Gotech ECU with Diktator wasted spark...
MMM I assume u referring to the BUMPER??
Well I could have a sqiuzz around and try to source one. Are they THAT hard to come by in OZ?
I forgot, I recently also aquired a Chrome Rear Bumper... just needs sum cleaning and Ima polish up the front bumper then that'll be going on too...
@ keimeier, thnx
