I was looking at rcas, do i need negative camber rcas or just rcas? and is it true the ae86 ones are the same as ke55? Yeah i've got the xt130 steering arms What coilover kit would you recommend? I have read good things about the hsd ones? Thanks

Thanks for that, just out of curiosity why do you suggest changing the diff ratio? Another question if anyone can answer it: What is the process for getting a car engineered? do i need to go speak to the engineer before i do anything, or can i just take photos and document the whole thing then go to an engineer? The things I imagine will need to be engineered will be the new front brake/strut/coilover setup, half cage, seats, engine modifications and exhaust? Can anyone who has had similar things on their cars engineered give me approximate costs? Thanks

Thanks for the replies, very informative

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I was thinking it was going to be a bit hard to build it as an all rounder. In reality it will be a street car with occasional track use. Yeah there are plans for an engine transplant but that won't be for a while as I'm on my p's so is illegal.

Disclaimer: I am brand new to cars and have no previous mechanical experience so all of this is a big learning curve for me. That being said I am a fast learner though and have spent many many hours reading through posts on here and on toymods. I am a student so funds come in slowly but i plan for this to be a long term project The car is an auto ke55 sedan. My plan for the car is for it to be an all rounder track/street/drift, and i want it all to be engineered and legal in victoria. I'll list my plans for the car and with each part the questions I have about it: Auto to manual I am going to be converting the car to manual, hopefully using a k50 from a ke70. I have read that you need to weld the old crossmember from the ke55 to the crossmember from the ke70 1. I was wondering if anybody has a picture of this as i am having trouble visualising it. Also from a legal side of things is this engineer-able or will i need to get a custom crossmember made up? Rear suspension: I am going to get get the leafs reset and an extra leaf added. For the rear i will get short stroke shocks, not sure which yet. Also going to replaces all bushes 2. How low do people recommend going, performance wise first and looks secondary. I was thinking 1.5-2 inches lower? Front suspension: For the front i am going the standard corona xt130/peugot/hilux setup, i'm thinking about converting to coilovers with the t3 set, and also getting camber tops and possibly negative camber roll centre adjusters. Also thinking kyb agx short stroke shocks. Once gain will replace the bushes. 3. Do you think i'll need the negative camber roll centre adjusters? 4. Can anyone recommend a place in the South East suburbs to cut the struts and weld the coilovers, and also reset the leaves? Tyres and Rims: For Rims I am thinking 15x8 or 15x7 and am not sure what offset. The wheel arches need some rust work so rolling/flaring them is fine. 5.Keeping in mind that i want this to be legal so i can't increase the track by too much, what size rims and offset do people recommend? 6.Tyres are something i haven't got my head around yet, so if someone could also suggest tyre sizes and types and if possible list reasoning behind? I think that's enough to start with. Any responses would be great thanks

Awesome, thanks

Just wondering if there is any difference between the xt130 sedan and xt130 wagons front struts, hubs and steering knuckles? Cheers
