hey all, bought this thing a little over 2 years ago, been fixing it up bit by bit, thought id share it with you...

1983 ADM Sprinter

Engine: 4AGE 16V built by sprinter man, i had the head reco'd earlier this year

Engine Management: microtech lt8

Gearbox: w50 had rebuilt earlier this year c/w one piece tailshaft

Diff: t-series drum c/w 2 way centre and 4.1 CW & Ps rebuilt earlier this year

Front sus: runs trd yellows and apexi springs up front with t3 camber tops (custom made coilovers using ma61 struts cut to suit, so ive got larger rotors up front, also means i run 15" wheels all round)

Rear sus: trd reds and random springs on the rear

Whiteline front and rear swaybars as well as panhard bar

Brakes: new brake lines, pads, rotors, machined drums, new shoes new wheel cylinders, rebuilt master cyl late last year.

Wheels: ssr longchamps up front
ssr mk II's on the rear

Tread: front and rear wrapped in hankooks supposedly just as good as the old re001's

this car was mainly used as a drift car, im looking to getting into hillclimbs/circuit days, maybe the occasional wet skid pan here and there

whats left to to...

wheel alignment & suspension set up
dyno tune
fun!


plans for the future, (depending on how serious i get with racing) oil cooler, replace sunroof with metal as it leaks in the wet, 1.5 LSD disc to disc rear end, strip her out completely, half cage, race harness, stickier rubber

pics to come tomorrow

Sprinterman has a reputation for building tough 4ages... Do you know what is done internally?

Look forward to some pics.

more to come soon

matt, the head was freshened up, still remains stock, the bottom end i believe has toda pistons, it currently has a soft tune with 80rwkw, hopefully that will jump to 90/95 when i get her tuned! ive heard good things about mike from custom bugs and buses so ill probably hit him up for the tune....

[Matt]

It should go alright then... Some nice pics but i'm not sure of the checkered firewall, but otherwise its clean.

Wow my brothers old car.. Nice to know it's still straight and looking decent.

Whole Chassis has been spot welded, firewall is one of a kind and I stuck that red HR sticker there for awesomeness.

Not sure if it has toda pistons though, pretty sure it was something related to silvertop, maybe just silvertop pistons to up the comp, with a stock head or either just a pure smallport.. But the engine was rebuilt fresh shortly before he sold it. 78rwkw I think it made at the time.

I see you still have the shitty sun roof lol, that was the only thing I didn't like about the car it's was poorly designed and installed by the owner before my brother

This car came from being 4agte 130-140rwkw to now NA.. Has been through big changes that's for sure but still had so much in it.
