that engine of yours is mounted fairly far forward, what you want to be careful of is the rear end 'bouncing' while cornering which will happen if too much of the weight is forward of the front wheels. I had this problem with my 1UZ and solved 70% of it by shifting the engine back about 10cm. The back of the rocker covers on mine now sit about 5mm behind where the firewall used to be. Nice build by the way Smile

right, had big problems with the rear suspension, my original idea was to get ae86 coilovers so I wouldn’t have to fabricate turrets in the rear, and I could change the end to suit the axle, so I bought a set, but when fittling them I relised they didn’t fit???, it turns out they were for a turreted ae86.. Like WTF. Anyway, in the end if I was going to have to turret the rear end I was going to do it properly, so I orderd k-sport s13 rear coilovers, and got to work.
Big hole

Since I have the s13 rear end, which gives me about 30mm extra track each side,
I have decided to put the s13 front end in aswell. Lca’s, hubs, brakes, coilovers, and using the ae86 top mounts, and ae86 tension rods. Makes for about 40mm extra track each side on the front end, and a very big upgrade in brakes. Also the s13 steering arm is about an inch shorter, but with a ae86 manual rack and the extra track, you get a whole lot of lock.

Striped down the front end ready for new set up.

here you can see the difference in length between the two lca’s, and the length of the steering arm.

massive difference between the brakes, huge vented rotors and much bigger callipers.

I then did a few adjustments to the steering.
And now I am very happy with the angle of lock.

the pic of the engine seems to be misleading. i bet the bulkhead back about 4-5 inches, and sat the engine back under the wiper housing. the itbs are litraly 5mm from the metal seam, and the heads are under. its as far back as i can put it without cutting into the wiper housing. ill have to get new pics of the engine in place.
