luke.t. Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 LOL a 1j in a keto would be insane :yes: It would blow tyres left, right and centre Quote
trav_555 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 LOL a 1j in a keto would be insane :yes: It would blow tyres left, right and centre well it could only max blow 2 at a time really :lol: Travis Quote
Bowler Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 well it could only max blow 2 at a time really :lol: Travis Left tyre, right tyre, diff? :yes: Quote
78_7kRolla Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Haha. Any progress being made with this car or its driveline yet?? Quote
7shades Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Of sorts... The engine itself didn't actually turn out to be quite so good after a thorough testing. Slight bottom end knock. I parted out the corpse, and sold the skeletal remains (including driveline) to an idiot. Hefty profit was made... enough to buy a nice shiny 1UZ-FE + Auto for the Mazda, with plenty of change left over... Quote

Hefty profit was made... enough to buy a nice shiny 1UZ-FE + Auto for the Mazda, with plenty of change left over... i can't think of a more fitting ending, esp for $50 :yes: well, maybe an old crown or corona shell for the 1UZ....

7shades Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 I'd like to keep the blood pure and find a Crown.... But for reasons unbeknownst to myself, I find some deranged sadistic appeal in sexing up this Mazda... I know, I'm odd. Quote
Philbo Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 fckk offf probably got an engine knock i'm just jealous :doh: The engine itself didn't actually turn out to be quite so good after a thorough testing. Slight bottom end knock. :laff: Haha nice guess man Quote
7shades Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Heh.... how ironic :laff: It was only a tiny knock on idle which disappeared with a rise in oil pressure. Being a 1J (and a Toyota) it would more than likely kept running for another 20000 k's before spitting bits of bearing shell into the sump, but that being said its indicative of the engine having led a life of mistreatment, so best to bin it.

I know, I'm odd. well, instead of bastardising a toyota with a rotor, you'll be toyota-fying a mazda...much better me thinks (esp after seeing a cosmo with a 2jz :laff: ) Quote
7shades Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Posted October 22, 2008 Heeeey... never thought about it like that... cool :doh: Although, I am a glutton for punishment, seeing as a 13BT would bolt straight in using the xmembers from an RX5... Vive le difference :laff: Quote
