Welcome!
I see you are reviving a lot of old topics from the dead.
Can you tell some more about your projects? I'm not a frequent Club4ag visitor.

well my first GTS project was to import all the levin parts new from japan and copy the body work
that took me about 3 years to do
so now i have CF and FRP hood and fenders for levin front
i can get everything new from toyota japan
but it is quite expensive

the next project i got and am still working on is
a 1981 starlet
7AGE hi compression AE92 engine
weber 45mm carbs
custom metal metal clutch
1 piece drive shaft
and supra rear axle
the only goal for this car was to do a wheelie on the street
i got about 90% of the parts to finish this project
but other projects have come up, so it is currently on hold

next project is a 1984 white sr5 coupe i bought
planning on putting in a Hasslegren FA engine
detuned for street use
8000 rpm redline 210hp at the crank
front end is a FRP levin front
1 piece drive shaft GTS TRD 2 way LSD rear axle
this project is about 75% done
just waiting for the engine from hasslegren
then to buy the suspension for it (HTS and TRD springs)

My pinnacle project witch i have been working on for about a year now
is a RWD K20A Type R
this will eventually go into my first car (the CF levin coupe)
so far the clutch is done
flywheel will be oem
bellhousing is due to be done next week
going to use a W55 trans
the engine was blown so it it is at hasslegren getting the works
Cams and CPU have been sorted
i was planning on using AE101 or AE111 itb's with custom adaptor
i will have to make a custom exmanifold
that should be a lot of fun to weld
the goal for this engine combo was to not have to chop up the trans tunnel like in a f20C swap
also to be able to overtake a F20C powered AE86 at the track

My friend Ben Vanderhule F20C only made 125 ft lbs at the wheel is his F20C
hp i am not sure of i think he said it was about 190

thats what i am working on now
hopefully these will all get done eventually

We can buy some nice stuff in order to help you finish them...
Unfortunately, car died on me today, so i 'll have to wait for those brakepads...

Good to be able to say "Welcome" to the man who provided me with such an excellent clutch. Good to have you here Max!

[banpei]

Whoa. Sounds like you have some sick projects there.
7AGE in a starlet. That's an aweful lot of torque for a featherlight car.

[Max_Misawa]

hahaaha yea i am kinda car rich right now
in the US you can have pretty much as many cars as you want
but the fee's and insurance adds up pretty fast

hopefully i will sell my other cars
then use that money to finish these cars

Hey max....i´m building a 7age, but i ´ve been looking around for a stronger clutch, what can you do for that engine? Will the oem hold around 160-170hp plus loads of torque?

[Max_Misawa]

with the 200mm clutch i sell, one local shop dynoed 293hp at the wheels
the car was in a few magazines
the metalic green levin (owner takahiro something)
it is a GZE with turbo
running on honda componets and cpu
so the limit to these 200mm clutch i am not sure, maybe 350hp???
Thats should probably work for you ya?
