My little (not really...) project - Soon to be all done?!?

[Jan Pedersen]

Irishtwincam: He got them from a danish rally driver (TE72). They are 7x14" 12 mm offset I think

Nomuken: I got the connectors from a danish engine import company.

Find out who the rally driver is, I need to know if more can be got.

They are a classic and very cool wheel!!!

[Jan Pedersen]

As I recall he sold the car and had these wheels left. And I only know of two sets in DK and the other was 4x100...

Hi Jan. You've got a great car and i hope one day mine ae86 will become like yours(but in white colour)
I want to ask you 3 questions...
first you remove all the windows...ok...but where did you found new rubbers(i don't know exactly how they call them in english)?
Second, in Denmark i believe you don't have awful roads with crates and bumps everywhere so the stiffness and extreme weight of the rear axle won't be a problem. Have you tried to drive your ae86 really fast in bad roads and that you constantly have in your mind that if there is a crate or a bump in the middle of the corner the rear will bump like a log and fly away?
And third did you finish with 20v swap? I'm thinking of doing the same with mine.
Thanxs.

[Jan Pedersen]

Hi Stratos

The rubbers you are referring to is that the trim around the rear side windows? I so they can be bought at Toyota but the price is VERY high! I reused all trim...

Roads in Denmark are pretty good in general but quite a few of the danish rally drivers use same spring rates. Rallies are 70/30 tarmack/gravel in Denmark. It all depends on the damper and the TRD units are quite good imo.

Well the 20V isn't running just yet But I've fixed a couple of air leaks and I'm finally ready to start working on the car again

Good luck on your project

Thanks Jan for the info. Of course i know that trims and everything else is Amazingly expensive in Toyota But i'm not sure that i'll not destroy them when i try to remove them.
Hope you fix that 20v soon, i'm waiting to see it happen

[Jan Pedersen]

Its time to wake up this thread from the dead - and with good news: My car is now running with 20V

It still needs some quite a bit of tuning and a few jobs has to be done. But its going to a dyno on the 7th april. After that its only an MOT (or engine failure) that can keep me away from the Nürburgring at easter

Sorry, but no pics or vids as my cam is broken

[banpei]

Nice job!
I bet you can't wait till easter then!

[Jan Pedersen]

Its not easy but there is quite a few jobs to be done before take off

Tuning, MOT and oil cooling are the main issues...

[Jan Pedersen]

Oilpressure is now ok with the bigger hoses
The new radiator is mounted as is the plenum:


I need to shine up a filter box but the setup is working and it is very smooth and quiet.

It is more or less ready to be tuned on the dyno on monday
