Red Goes Faster-Aus Leveno

[Auscan16]

Hey Gents,

Bought this little gem of a rolling shell about 6 or 7 odd months ago and have been slowly building it up. The previous owner had removed the 4AC to drop in (from memory) a 3S-GE conversion but never got around to it. He cleaned up the bodywork/cleared any rust and gave the car a fresh red respray as well as Trueno converting the front end.

The shell included most of an interior minus front seats, all pannels, bolt on flares, 4AC fuel tank and some pizza cutter stock wheels. The car looks like it was on it's way to run free so my plan is to take it in that direction.

Since my purchase I have bought and fitted the following:





The car currently is not running as I am finishing off the small parts that need to be done before I hook up all the wiring and ECU. I am hoping that it will be running and on the road within 3 months so I can drive it up to World Time Attack this year!

I am planning on a RX7 front brake setup as I already have bought the AJPS caliper adapters for the 86 hubs so will be looking into disks and calipers this week.

What is left to do: (If you have or know of anyone with these parts let me know!)





I plan to make this car my new daily/occasional track car and slowly transform it into a full track weapon down the track. Also thinking maybe a 7AGTE is in order down the track as well, anyone done this?

Cheers.

Looks amazing dude nice pick up.

Question where did you get the new hubs from and how much if l can ask?

[Auscan16]

Cheers,

Got them out of the states with all brand new hardware and bearings and it ended up costing around the $500 mark altogether. $380 USD for the hubs and $60 for the rest of the gear.

Just unfortunately couldn't find any decent hubs around at the time so had to buy brand new in the end. Pricey but at least it's new and genuine Toyota. Got quoted from Toyota here in Aus more and a 3 month wait.... Got these in 6 working days.

Bought from T3:

No worries bud.

Yep, just mentioned to them that I needed bearings/nuts/pins/washers/caps and they supplied them.
