Jordain Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah I've sunk a decent amount into these simmons and don't want to change haha! I'm stripping an s13 on friday night so will have all the front end bits and pieces to play with! Quote
jimi91 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Sounds good as mate and good luck with it all i think mine will be basic compared to urs :lolcry: see ya jimi Quote
Jordain Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Todays pickup brings home a new diff for the rolla! Not going to ever break the diff. Shortened Hilux diff, Prado LSD, rx7 calipers and discs and 4x110 stud pattern! Nice and big, bit to heavy but at the price that I picked it up I couldn't say no. It was to cheap to let go! I've changed plans with the motors and I'm pretty settled on the motor.. 3SGE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ogo5ueU6Oo Might go with a Beams... like Anyway.. from looking at F20c's early this week I've decided they really aren't worth the 5.5k I was going to pay for one, in the end... beams has a 6 speed gearbox too and they make a fair bit more power than a 4age motor. I would easily slot a 4age in but its been done before and I want to be different! Quote
carbonboy Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Oh dear. Please do it :D :y: :y: Seeing as I'm the third person to say "DO IT!", you have to now! :lolcry: Fantastic work so far man, 3SGE Beams for the win!!! :yes: Quote
abbott Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Looking goooood as always mate! Keep the progress coming I wanna see this with beams running in it soon haha kidding Quote
pol090_ke11 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Those fronts are tucking nicely now good job, and yeah I would love a 3sge sitting in my ke1x too Quote
Jordain Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 Mate of mine came over with his sisters beams 3sge altezza... There's a halfcut on e-Gay for 4.5k and I can get it sent down for nothing so that's a bonus. I measured it up, I'm going to have to make custom engine mounts as the ke10 cross member is relatively closer to the firewall compare to an ae86/altezza It will fit just abit of work. The gearbox will fit with no problem. Only problem for me is not spending to much time on it as I'm doing my HSC and it's not worth stuffing my career up for a car ;) But I got my dad on the hunt today for a beams motor as I want to measure it up abit more... Tad worried about the large front sump they have! Quote
pol090_ke11 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah and it all depends on how long you want this build to take but if you have the money and time good luck with it. Quote
Jordain Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Time not really a worry and got enough to do it properly. Probably Should have bought an altezza or something but this is so much cooler! I got a daily now so there's no rush for it to be finished ! Quote
Jordain Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 ah T5 VW Dualcab transporter, made a custom stainless tray for it and got coil overs for the front and airbags for the rear as its a tow wagon for my large enclosed trailer. I got the original KE10 thats nearly finished so might sell that one since I don't need it and sell the KE16 wagon since I don't really need that either. Lots of shit to get rid of that I've gathered. Got a KE70 for the price of scrap yesterday, and an 89 rolla sedan off my school teacher for free with 2 months rego! Although giving them to my mates anyway haha! Quote
