drift freak Posted December 30, 2012 Report Posted December 30, 2012 Good work!!! Got any vids of the new engine??? Which adaptronic are you using??? Quote
Jordain Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 Haha well.. Where do I start.. The Adaptronic ECU and the ITBS gave me problems and oneday driving home from uni it stopped working and I had the shits so i started pulling the ECU out on the side of the road and called a tow truck. HATE E420C ECUS! haha So put stock ECU back in with a Genuine RWD manifold Then Literally 10 minutes after I got the ECU and the manifold on.... ( after 2 days of ʞ©$ɟing around with wiring and different Dizzys and clogged throttlebodys ) I went for a drive to pick up an ae92 airbox and 4age timing covers and to pick the backseats up from my mates workshop... The cops didnt like my driving.. Every cop in Penrith came to have a look... 2 HWYs and 3 general dutie car's came past lol Threw some defects at me and a red label and a court appearance Been to the Drags twice now, mate drove and did a 15.9 and I drove last week and managed to get it down to a 15.1... Will go back soon with a few things changed. Want to get a 14.5 Anyway... drifting It's pretty good at drifting around EC.... SOO i somehow got invited to Wakefield on the 5th for Hitnruns private track day! Should be good fun.. MORE pics to come once I do the private day! Quote
19914afc Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 I would love to build a ke20 streeter/track car, with a built 3t or something would be pretty cool. Quote
timbo Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Man that's a long list! Good job on killing so many 4A's too, 15.1 sounds pretty good, I've only managed 15.6 with a leaky smallport and stuffed exhaust. It's been rebuilt since with TRD 272's so fingers crossed. Quote
Jordain Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah well i've dropped the exhaust off at the diff so no muffler just a resonator, added 256 TRD cams and took out a headlight... added a pair of slicks... hoping for a mid 14.. maybe low 14.. who knows! Quote
orangeLJ Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Hard to read, but does that defect mention the fact that its a non standard engine anywhere at all? or were they too busy picking up all the non-issue bullshit (well... being so low is kind of an issue.. lol) to tell the difference? Quote
Jordain Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 To busy with the bullshit defects to realise its got a different motor in it locked diff and a fuel system in the boot battery in the boot.... Lol! Quote
benhachi Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 glad your finally getting somewhere for all the hard work you've put into her! Quote
Jordain Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Posted February 25, 2013 It's now back to standard... 3k 4 speed... It's now un defected. I've driven it once and .... never want to drive it again... Who wants to buy it! Quote
altezzaclub Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Sooo.... Its gone from nice unmolested stock machine to drag racer and drifter with the whole hog of mods, and back to the lowly 3K. After all that work, what have you learned over the last 6months you've owned it?? Quote
Jordain Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Posted February 26, 2013 That if you drive a car thats modified on your P's you will get harrassed, that if you drive sideways you will lose your licence and that twincams don't last if you rev them hard haha! I learnt to drive and I also learnt that K series is the best haha... They are super reliable and never miss a beat hah! Quote
altezzaclub Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 lol! that sounds like a great education! OK, now you have learnt all that you can sit down and build it properly. Take the time to build a bullet-proof motor, 4AGE or modified 5K. Find some suspension that works well but is close enough to road legal and by the time you're back with a licence you'll have a great car that is fun to drive and something that you know every nut and bolt on. ..and don't do crazy things around cities, get out in the country where we never see a cop. Speaking of loved cars.. I've just heard of a lady who traded her old car in on a WRX, and within 48hours had it written off and was busy buying her old car back! Quote
orangeLJ Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 PM me 4AGE conversion bits price ;) Quote
