Hi people just thought I would start a thread on dw as I thought I had done so already but looking back I clearly haven't Right here are some pics of the car herself One just like her the day I first laid eyes on her http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/fcukdan19/396103-3.jpg This one the weekend after I baught it :-) back in 2007 Front bumper sprayed http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/fcukdan19/03042008057.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/fcukdan19/03042008065.jpg Fast forwards to just after a minor accident and another respray http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/fcukdan19 http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/fcukdan19 Now except the fuel cap in white too Sadly the engine had been loosing compression and dieing a slow and painfull death :-( So had to come out! So I've now nearly got up to date on pictures so il just fill you all in on what's happened since!. She was running 350bhp 368ftlb torque which I was very happy with but had to sell ill my mods to get my new engine and bits. Good bye list: Fidenza flywheel & Rps paddle clutch Gt2871r .64 Hks actuator Denzo 550 side feed injectors Nistune ecu board Z32 afm Apex engine and tran mounts Intake hard pipe + loads more I can't remember Parts for build: Soarer engine and all ancillaries (thanks Cptsideways) R154 gearbox(thanks to nooty) Front sump Ksracing mounts 1jz ksracing bellhousing ATM I'm in the process of cleaning up my engine bay Then I will be fitting the engine and box to get a measurement for the prop. Will try to keep this updated on a regular basis. Thanks for reading :-)
Good project mate. U still got the parts for sale? ive just done a full build, stripped the car to a bear shell, got rid of all the rust, engine rebuild the works check it out on here sumwhere
No mate all parts have gone now. Just saving to get a clutch setup and prop shaft made. Other than that I need to make an exhaust find a throttle cable and the rest is wiring! Im aiming to get it in running and road worthy within the next 2 months but I'm sure il hits snag
Hey mate can you let me no how the ksracing mounts fit need a set for my r32 but no one has a set of jz mounts on the shelf in the uk cheers
Ok buddy well I'm hoping it's straight fit. Keep an eye on this thread just incase I get carried away and forget to let you know
Oh and trial fit the the 1jz mounts just to make sure the holes were big enough! Which they aren't so needed to just open them a little
Here is the donor car Progress this weekend is minnimal but important Engine bay blasted ready for acid etch then zinc primer then high build primer, bit of sanding then paint :-) Here we have a picture of the engine block being prepped ready for front Sump conversion The majority of the sump fitting and drilling has now been done,I say drilling as the sump came from a non turbo engine so we needed to drill the oil return and tap a the thread to attatch it :-)
Was this down at Luke's the other week getting getting painted? Nice looking car fella, I'm only in Cheddar so there's a chance I might see this about some time
Gearbox is back out again now to get the linkage extended 3 1/2" and for the flywheel to be fitted and variouse other little bits n pieces but it's coming together
