Tally's JDM KE25 Build Up Round 2

[hachirusto]

Id say get the 13's , ap's are light as fuck and in OZ they are impossible to find, that I know ive there are 3 sets ive seen for sale 1 set of 13's and 2 sets of 14's and I own both sets of 14's now

[Todd]

another vote for the AP's dude, they are so perfect for this car. and has been said so many good options for tyres in 13. people just dont hear of them much.
otherwise, looking really good so far. it must be a good feeling to get it painted and looking mint.

cant wait to see it all back together.

Hey guys thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

Now I been putting in a few hours every night getting the front end together.

First off I got all my nuts and bolts aswell as bonnet and boot latch acid dipped and electroplated a silver passivate. Came up brand new!



Then got stuck into putting it back together.
So far installed engine crossmember, radius/castor rod brackets, sway bar, LCA's, AE86 PS arms and steering stuff, idler arm, tie rods etc.

Still got to grease and tourqe it all. All new utherane bushes throughout.

It's a good feeling

2moro install ae86 struts and get it rolling.

great work!

id really love to do a old school ground up build one day....

[Tally]

Thanks mate, well the time to do one is now! only going to get more rustier and harder to find

Ok so got my AE86 struts in, bolted in no probs with KE25 strut top hats and with a 1mm adapter in the balljoint hole of the PS steering knuckles.



torqued my balljoint to steering knuckle to 50 ib, LCA to crossmember 60 ib, and steering knuckle to strut 50 ib, sound about right? That's what the book says so I guess so lol

I don't need to use Locktite or anything do I?

Went down to u pull it the other day and picked up a pair of 14" ra40/60 Celica stockies, tires are way too big at 195/70/R14, they are worn out anyway so thinking some 185/60/R14 tires.



So yea basically just waiting on some bushes for my castor/radius rods and sway bar.

Progress is going good so should be done in no time...

Dad wants to rebuild my 4K and port and polish it as he used to do it on all his VW's back in the day lol.
Told him not to worry about a full engine rebuild but yea maybe some head work. Should be sweet.

Ok so been busy, started cleaning up my engine. Its a KE70 4K-C.

ripped all the emissions and useless junk of it.
Need to replace front and rear main oil seals, new 3K water pump and thermostat housing.
Also need to get flywheel cleaned up and faced for new clutch.

And then should be good to go to drop it in and fire it up.

Also got a electronic dizzy from Ryan SLO-030.



and how the car is looking atm:

fuck yeha looking great dude! keep it up! more pics

[Tally]

Thanks man

Ok so yesterday bought a new waterpump, its a KE30 one so having some issues routing my heater hoses...

Also need a lower thermostat housing, the part the thermostat sits in and bolts to the head, if anyone in Adelaide has one in good condition off a KE70 or earlier Corolla please let me know, need one asap.

Also changed front and rear main oil seals on the 4K last night.

Need to get flywheel faced, anyone recommend a good place that will do a good job? has surface rust and grease so maybe acid dip?

Cheers
Tally
