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

[Jan Pedersen]

Thanks

Robo: Well for now I'll keep it stock. I would like to get it running before tuning it. But I must say that a pair of cams is rather high on my wish list :wink:

Beauty!!

Looking beautiful with those wheels Jan!

Ever thought of fitting some smoked front indicators? Would help modernise the front a lot, I think - Just a possible suggestion though.

Nothing wrong, it's awesome as it is!

[Jan Pedersen]

Yeah I thought abbout it but decided not to

Hei Jan, great project!
I'm trying to find suspension parts for my project Levin, especially TRD shocks and springs for the rear (4-5kg). So springs/shock rear, self-made coilovers front, RCA's, camber plates, some bushings (prothane vs new rubber, I'm not sure...) and an LSD overhaul is what I'll do first, I think.

Is there a TRD-dealer in Denmark you got those shocks from? If so, it would be great to get their email-address

[Jan Pedersen]

Hey Doc!

Sounds as if you have a very nice plan for your car! You might want to consider oem or TRD bushing instead of prothane - they are a bit noisy...

Yeah we got a TRD dealer in DK. I got his mail adress at work so I can send it to you next week Send me an IM if I forget

After the trip to the Ring my car has been a mess The engine started leaking a lot of oil and coolant on the way home. And the rear leaks a bit as well, not much though... And one of the rear calibers started leaking when I got home

As if that wasn't enough the equips got damaged by the salt on the drive home.

Now I ready to try again. The leaks are fixed and I bought these:


I'm going to a trackday this monday and I can't wait to try them out! I haven't driven a single km on these just yet but I'll test them tomorrow

I'm looking forward to see if my brakes will hold up allright

So you're going to brake them in properly.

But what happened to the equips? You didn't cover the entire rim with top-coating?

[Jan Pedersen]

Yeah I'll try to brake them in properly Today I'll warm them up slowly and then take them off the car to rest 24h. That should be the proper way... It should make them last longer and have more grip

The salt made them corrode and I can't get them to shine like before the trip They simply have a lot of small holes. They had a sealing layer but that wasn't enough aginst the salt... Luckily I had two of them in the boot due to tire faliure - so only two have to be proffesionaly repolished
