[buznke] Rotarized Ke26 Pano

[Sim]

got some new piccies, ripped the motor/box and diff out today, only thing left in the body is the interior which ill take out whenever i can be ****ed. taking out the motor myself was abit harder then i thought, but it came out pretty smoothy in the end. now comes the cleaning! I'm running out of space for all my ****! lol.

The trans tunnel/firewall looks all munted. Has it been hammered to make the gearbox fit?

[Sim]

yeh its pretty f@$ked. the previous owner must'v done a dodgy job on it, considering getting it all cut out and getting new metal welded in place, considering I'm changing to an RX7 box which is larger then the Corona box it has atm.

[Sim]

does anyone know the widest rim i can fit under the rear of these things? is it possible to fit an 8.5" rim or would i need to resort to mini tubbing it?

[PMP020]

i know the widest you can get under a ke20 sedan is 7.5" which will fit inside the gaurd, so it can be kept relativly low.

id say wagon would be the same, but also depends on width of diff and correct offset of wheel.

 

if you have the car jacked up and on stands with the diff still fitted youll be able to measure it up quite easily and get an exact max width and work out which offset ull need to run.

 

cheers, scott

i've heard the corona 4spds were a pretty tough box. why bother mucking around or are you fully intent on 5 gears

[Sim]

thanks scott ill have to suss it out. n yeh iv pretty much made my mind up on wanting 5 gears n since I'm gonna be fixing up the trans tunnel anyway due to it being rooted i wanna slot a bigger trans in there. tracked down a Supra box from a 2000 model which I'm tempted to nab. having dramas finding shocks to suit the wags so I'm tempted to get coil overs made up for the fronts and going with pedders or whatever for the rear shocks. anyone hav any advice?

[YKE 20T]

seems like your throwing a bit of money at it so you may as well get coilovers made for the front.

[Sim]

i just havta do some homework, find out what the best option would be.

ripped out most of the interior today, only thing left in the car is the dash and abit of wiring lol. finding afew dodgey repair jobs/things that the previous owner did so I'm glad that I'm stripping it back n starting from scratch so i know everything is gonna be sweet.

heres sum pics, lots of cleaning ahead!

 

<- dodgiest trans tunnel enlargement job iv ever seen, fken held on by tape and a couple rivets.

[Jono]

so dodgy!

[Sim]

lol tell me about it!

found and will b picking up a supra 5 speed tommorow including everything to bolt it upto the 13B, which should make it abit more fun :(.

[Sim]

heres the supra box, the dude chucked in a spare one aswell, same gearbox, which is sweet. just need to buy a new clutch for it etc. gonna give it a good clean n a coat of paint just so it doesn't look so scummy.

 

[Jono]

whats the bellhousing for? not a 4A by any chance?

[Jono]

don't worry i looked again and saw the slave cylinder position - thats for a rotary, right?

[Sim]

yeh dude, bellhousing is off an RX4, bolts straight upto the 13b that way.
