ive got a six speed box ready to mate to the enigne..

im looking for some used parts to fit at the same time as the engine transplant.

uprated clutch in decent nick

shorter drive pully

i know its a stab in the dark and i will get these parts in time but if anyone could help me with these parts id appreceate it..

im stuck to a budget.

also whats the cheapest and best way to import a front anti role bar from whiteline in ausland. thanking in anticipaition. :ph34r:

Personally I wouldn't go with an underdrive pulley as it won't have the damping system that the Toyota one has. Your flywheel could be machined slightly to reduce weight.

Your clutch plate could be relined with a uprated material (cheapest)

The rest I would do in stages. When modifying a car the biggest problem you can have is to change too many things at once. If you do it in stages you will find out what works and what doesn't work which may not seem important but would make sense over the long term, and also help other people who want to copy you.

I've got a 5E-FHE engine for geocool69

I know it not the question in hand but how did you get your sr so low geocool69. I've fitted apex springs and kyb shocks but it's still high. Do you think fitting koni adjustables will help. Toby

fitting different shoks wont make a difference to your ride hight

u need to ither get different lowering springs or some coilovers. to go low..

have u any pics of your car

Posted

I don't at the moment coz im at uni. it looks pretty much the same to yours except my sppedlines have been painted brilliant white. I thought painting them black would make them look like steels but they look well nice. toby. What shocks are using and springs?
