Stenzel Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Are you going to just run a ca18 gearbox? Any more thoughts on turbo yet? Dave Quote
Jono.C Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Posted February 12, 2012 I've got a ca20 box at the moment, I reakon I'll hunt down a ca18det one if I can. Might work out better to go 4agte it depends on what it works out to cost wise as which'd be better. Not too sure turbo wise, gt2871r's are good in my eyes. KKR's are pretty good too, depends what I can get my hands on and what sort of pricing Quote
Stenzel Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) nooo, go ca :) I plan to run a ca20 or 18 box in my thirty, I'm thinking of a to4e atm but not too sure... my mate is running one in his ca18 bluebird with decent results, has some lag though.

Jono.C Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Posted February 12, 2012 t04e? That's huge for a 1.8, t66 would be good on a ca, big laggy but would pull hard. Not too sure what will happen yet, i'll just keep my eyes open for parts while i finish the bodywork :wink: Quote
Stenzel Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 No denying everything beats it off the line :laff: But am considering it for my application. I don't know how you do your bodywork, uggh I'm dreading the day that I have to start mine and its only minor work. :bash: Quote
Jono.C Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Posted February 12, 2012 It's annoying and boring there's no denying that :lolcry: Quote
Jono.C Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Another preview. :blush: I spent some time sanding back the roof today, the paint was really rough in the middle. It's a lot better but it still needs finishing off. Need to fix a little bit on the bonnet, Rub the car back in prep for doing the roof and final coats then polish :wink: *Edit. Before you pick, The bootlid isn't bolted on properly yet. :P Edited February 19, 2012 by Jono.C Quote
Willis Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Looks awesome Jono. Keep at it. Quote
Jono.C Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 Cheers guys :blush: I really just want to see what the purists say about it, If i get the "You ruined a classic" Remark. :hmm: Paid for some koni adjustable shocks today. Which will hopefully stop me from destroying my rear guards when i lower it with my other wheels. Plus allow me to adjust it for the different events i intend to do. Once i make the switch to either 165/55 or 175/50 tires, I'll be able to safely lower it 4" at the front and 3" at the back. Hopefully it will be respecatable and not be rotten looking because of the ride height :huh: Also tracked down a ta22 diff :y: Hopefully i can find the time in the coming weeks to get the paint finished and start fitting it up :D Quote
Willis Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Shit Chyeah. What events you planning on running with it? Quote
Jono.C Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 Anyrhing that won't destroy it haha. Planning on getting it seam welded. But at the end of the day I love it too much to drift it. Pretty Much whatever time trial, gymkhana events there are but mostly hillclimbs, just to fang it through corners :D Quote
Willis Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I wouldn't mind turning my 70 into a hillclimb car...Sliding it is really appealing though. Just seems like alot of fun. Can't wait to see some vids!! Quote
Jono.C Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Posted February 19, 2012 Haha I'm just keen for it to be finally painted! And to have some mounting runs with it haha :jamie: Should be lower as soon as my camber plates turn up too which I'm keen for Quote
