only seam weld the front, you don't want to tighten the back up too much. you're better to stitch weld, so you can crack a few welds and they don't all crack

 

the paint sounds interesting, if not pricey

 

big race cams and turbos don't really go together, engines don't work that way. the best n/a cam we've found for a 4K/5K is a 25/65, and for forced induction the general consensus is not to go any bigger than a 20/60

 

a T28 is a big turbo for a 5K, i would say too big. angela in adelaide had a play with one for a while. she's now running a ball bearing HKS25/30 which is much better suited to the small motor

 

get some quotes on rebuilding your engine with forgies, they're probably going to be custom pistons, or something else adapted to suit your block, which is going to cost you lots of money in labour

 

seriously, K engines are good cheap fun but they're not that good. if i had the chance again, i would just spend the money on a 4A or CA or SR, something that's actually quick and powerful and reliable to start with. and has LOTS more potential

 

airbags (pneumatic suspension) make your car high or low but they don't handle well, they make your car like a boat. juice (hydraulic suspension) is good for bouncing like in a dr dre videoclip, but again not for handling. that being said, if you want your car to be able to touch the ground, they're the way to go. i would personally love to see a custom show-quality corolla on bags

 

anyone who gets serious with a rwd corolla and wants to drive it hard, usually gets ae86 steering arms, xt130 corona struts, has the struts shortened and made into height adjustables, with short stroke shocks and custom springs. you then have corona brakes on the front so your car stops better, or you can upgrade to the hilux/peugeot upgrade detailed on toymods. you'll need a better brake master cylinder as well. this has been gone over many many times, have a search around for it, there's even a 1g-gte ke30 in the latest issue of zoom with these brakes

[KErolla]

yeah good ponit man.

 

ok well i will now be droping sr20det just leaving it stock for a wile untill i have funds 2 modify it .

 

ok anny sugestions for front and rear suspention and brakes ??

 

yeah and i was only going to be seam welding the engin bay and cos wen i pull the motor out i will be sparyint the engin bay the boot the whole inside off the car every thing lol .

 

so y can't u seam weld the rear ??

OUCH!

Man, people are restoring and crashing projects on this forum! WHAT'S HAPPENING!! hahaha

 

As long as no one got hurt, that's all that counts. You have a spare guard, so at least that's a changeover job.
