HIGH ROLLER

Some more progress on the weekend. Painted up the engine mounts and THIS CLOSE to mounting the motor back in the enginebay, but lack of fasteners… Will post up pics and more progress soon.

This car is going to the next level…come on stas, put up PICS!!

The saga continues... Water pump housing is with my fabricator MLT323 getting the rear outlet welded up and cleaned up. Took my aw11 alternator in to Bankstown Auto Electrics to exchange for a reco one and get the t3 pulley fitted. Turns out I need to get the pulley bored out as the shaft on the aw11 alternator is a little thicker than the ae86 one, so machinist will hook that up. Anyone else had experience with aw11 alternators on rwd setups?

9896 6111 I dealt with "Joe" Good luck dude.

SSS Automotive in Sydney is where I got mine, they seemed nice enough. not sure what the shipping rate is to QLD tho...

Sweet early girl! Just floppin out the jailbars like it aint no thang! haha keep the pics coming...interior?

thanks fellas!

New GMB RWD water pump...picked it up for $18!! STILL waiting on toyota for gaskets and seals...apparently tomorrow is D-day :rolleyes:

Good on you Jase! All the hard work has paid off and nobody deserves it more then you...we both know the ride hasn't been smooth ;) And by the way, I'm still waiting for a ride...whenever youre ready buddy ;0 hehe

thanks guys... still a couple more things to do before I'm happy with it, like paint the engine mounts and bracket stuff, put alternator back together, etc.

Not a whole heap going on... timing belt is done waiting for my new RWD water pump & genuine Toyota seals, which should be arriving within the week. never thought a couple of seals would give me such a headache!

Thanks for the gee-up fellas. Gates Racing belt kit should be arriving today!

Thanks for the idea 747. I think I prefer gloss black, just for the smooth look... I'd have to see what it'd look like...

Sorry dude I read your post wrong. Sump is new Toyota genuine. Haha Thought I read oil pump..

nah it's my stock one. I took it apart and checked clearances, replaced the seals and put it back on. Also spent a good amount of time cleaning it. haha

Sexy... gotta get those cam covers sorted so they match the sexiness...

All sorted now, oil gear is all back together and sealed up. Gates racing kit is next...pics coming.

HAHAHA ghetto-spec..."tighter den a maaaaaafukka" All good, just gonna buy a smaller one.

Thanks fellas. Anyone got any ideas on torque'ing the oil pump bolts? The manual lists a torque that is lower than my torque wrench can get to...does that mean just use best judgement? or get a smaller torque wrench?

Some nice rust under the batter tray: Home-made rear oil seal retainer gasket (used ACL .4mm gasket paper)...very proud of myself :) New rear main seal in New oil pump crank seal in Big thanks to Shane (YLD-16L) for all the helping info and tips over SMS...you are a very patient and knowledgeable man.

This car is one sick puppy!! love how neat the engine bay is, and a 10sec pass? 'nuf said. keep up the good work dude, setting some high standards for the rest of us building rollas!

Modified Supercheap puller a'la Paton Performance hehe thanks for the tips Shane mmmm...clean oil pump! Now just waiting on some gaskets/seals etc. from Toyota so I can put it back together....stay tuned.

friggin awesome build mate, you're touching on everything! Colour looks wicked. Keep up the good work!

Hehe just cleaned the oil pump and rear main seal housing, waiting for Toyota gaskets to put them back on te mOtor with the new sump...
