This is my custom rear end setup featuring equal length arms, watts linkage with adjustable roll centre, custom mades spax coilovers bump and rebound adjustable, 6kg springs (to start with), diff cooler and trd 4.8 diff ratio[attachment=2458:attachment]
This is from the outside in, the box houses my fuel system and battery

I love this shot, looks tough, the wheels measure 15x9 f anf 15x10 r only has street tyres on at the moment, still sitting a lil high at the time has come down a bit more since

Ah the engine originally from an ae111, it was purchased from toms in new zealand, nothing to extreme just built to be reliable, it has all usual goodies you'd expect to see head work, cams, lightened flywheel, extremely heavy duty clutch, bigger throttles, raised comp etc... I'm running a Autronic ECU which i would recomend to people, the engine bay is a lil different looking now, i tidied it up some more looks much better. It was recently dynoed, atm it is only producing 140rwhp due to the exhaust being to restrictive, so i'll re-do it and try again i'm hoping to get around 160+rwhp when it's done which in a car that only weighs around 800kg with me in it should be fun especially around wakefield

My god that is awesome! Care to share the details on your diff cooler setup?
could you please post up some more pics? particually of your rear suspension (ie watts link)

hey there again fella's i'll try and answer all of your questions, the diff cooler, the diff housing has been modified to suit the diff cooler, there is an oil pick up and an oil supply, the pickup is fitted to the lowest part of the housing (internally) from there it travels through a filter, pump and the cooler, after this it's fed back to the diff, i've put mine in so it feeds the cooled oil directly where the ring and pinion mesh. If you have availability to the trd bible it show's you how to do it in there.
Now the watts linkage, providing you have a basic understanding of how suspension works, they are quite easy to make and setup. I have been lucky to know many people in the racing industry (mostly due to the fact my parents both use to race in the 70's and 80's) and when my old man was bragging about me building my own car they let me look at there cars and explained what they had done and whether or not it was for better or worse. So i took all of that advice in and designed my own version. I can show you some more pics of my setup but i'm not exactly sure of how it will work yet as it hasn't been test as yet i literally only got the car home last friday from the engine tuner. But basically my setup consists of a centre locator and two arms. The centre locator is attatched to the body, and the two arm's travel in opposite directions and mount to the diff housing using custom brackets. They must be parrallel for it to work correctly. Some fords feature this setup however they mount there's the opposite, arms to the body and the centre locator to the diff, please note although this still works ok it's not the correct way to do it in motorsport applications as the rear roll centre will always be changing every time to diff moves up or down not what you want.
the arms dont have to be parallel for a watts link to work (otherwise it would all go to garbage as soon as you went over a bump), but the way you have it set up is "the" way to do it for reasons you have mentioned and for a small unsprung weight advantage.
so you built the car from an aussie one? great effort!
more pics please, what cams are you running?
interior of care just after it was painted

Yeah i built the whole car, It's what i use to do for a job so it was only fitting that i did one of my own to show people what i can do, i plan on running my own bussiness one day building custom cars and manufacturing parts.
This car was originally bought for $100, i think if i wanted i could have got it for nothing but i felt sorry for him, the only reason i bought it was for the bumpers. But i stripped it and found it was better than my other one i had already started to build, so i stored it away until i was ready for it and sold my other one as an unfinished project. And two years later here it is, i hadn't planned on going this far with it but as you all know it's quite easy to get side tracked.
But it's just about finished and i do plan on driving it on the street the car is fully engineered (the report is quite large), if anyone has any questions about anything i have done or what they see please ask.
The cams in this engine nobody knows the specs as they are an obselete trd part.
that is quite insane
love to see it on the track one day agianst the other ae86's like chris o'shannesy's car and etc.
keep the pics coming
This car is crazy good. So jealous man. Top job.
thats crazy
do you race it or plan to?
