Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[The Doctor]

ivan, i hope this is what you wanted...





On the 2nd pic the PCD is wrong ( i placed the wheels on my AE86 front struts) but i think the problem is clear.
There's to much space between bolt and wheel.

[Ivan141]

Why dont all the holes have inserts? I see that most of them have some sort of sleeve in them. You could probable get away with using conical lugnuts for a while, I've seen Kristian do it on his AE86 wheels and they werent damaged or anything. If the holes are big enough you might want to try regular ae86 14" lugnuts, which are flat and have a washer on them, but if you do that the diameter and depth need to be perfect.
Didnt you get any old lugnuts with them, so I can get an idea what they are supposed to look like?

[The Doctor]

that's the problem, those inserts...
i miss some of them.

And the fact that they are conical on both sides doesn't make it any easier.

The seller got some bolts with it, but since my car needs lugnuts, they aren't of any use.

I've seen the Wolfrace lugnuts at a friend of mine (he bought the last set from Graku a few years ago), they are really specific.
Conical head and a piece which goes between the wheel and the bolt to centre the wheel.

I know Lexus and Toyota Supra use those kinda nuts, but they don't have a conical head.
So if i want to fit those, i need to adapt my wheels, and i'm not happy with that.

//edit:

victory!!!



After 5 minutes tapping with the slide hammer, both driveshafts where loose and the diff could be taken out

Diff looked in very good condition, if all goes well it's fixed on saturday

[Blueneon]

Hey Doc, the cars looking great still!

[The Doctor]

ok, today was diff-swap day

Everything went well, started @ 8:30 and i drove the car out of the garage on 11:30.
So i can drive without a howling, rattling diff again

Congrats!
Is that the wear on your old diff in the enlargement?

[The Doctor]

jep.

You see a nice smooth edge, and somewhere in the middle of the theeth there is a raw surface. That's not good

Ah, now I see the raw surface... Didn't notice it before.

and yet another update

Last saturday i blew up my exhaust
Backfiring into the exhaust isn't to nice for the rear muffler

So i went to a local tuningshop today, to get some information about a custom exhaust.

For 210 euro, a guy is going to make a custom exhaust for me, from the manifold to the rear. At first a nice flange on the manifold and then straight to the back with 2" (the smallest he could make, just big enough for the future 4K engine), and a nice Simons muffler with a round endtip.

No ricerboi style, just a hole coming out, underneath the rear

pics when ready

[NoHachi]

Ooh that sounds like a deal...but..straight through? Are going under diff?
