nice stuff.
Just fitted a 1kw reduction starter from an 85 model trueno, works awesome and sounds a lot more modern.
nice stuff.
Finally started to paint the brown bits out.
Looking hot mate
nice work mate. I really need to bring my car in to get it finished off.
Yeah man, the booths are great. Its so much better with the right equipment, I feel privileged to have all that in my factory.
The top coat booth is 100% done now, so bring your car in asap, I know Callum wants the work badly, and he needs to get his apprentice to do a bit more on cars to satisy his learning outcomes and pass him to the next year.
Cheers.
+1 for the factory
really good work space ..
nice when there is a booth and painter right there
So my diff got loud after a big highway mission the other day.
Its degenerated a bit by the time we got home, whining and a bit or a chatter that it never had before.
Pulled out axles, wheel bearings were rooted.
Pulled out centre, missing 2 teeth off the pinion! So thats a dead set of 4.3:1 gears.
Thankfully I had a diff spare in my AE86 so I took that out and fitted it to the AE71. I was unsure of the ratio and the condition of it. Its got 4.3s I now know and its atight as feck lsd. It whines super loud between 45 and 90klm/hr but s eerily quiet over or below that range. When I changed the oil I pulled leaves out of the thing, fucking dodgy Boonah bush mechanic. I flushed the shit out of it, I hope they all came out. I had heard a wives tail once that a few gum leaves will quiet down a whiny diff but I didnt think anyone was stupid enough to try it! So I might rip the centre out of it, and check the housing for more shrubs and the like. While Im there Ill fix up the gears and maybe lap them so they do not whine as bad, its a bit much really!
I guess Im just relieved the diff is working again.
I need to fix the other diff up, but all I need to buy is axle bearings for it, I have a set here to rebuild the centre already from ages ago, and my 4.5 cw and p is at diff lapping being lapped, then Ill rebuild it to an ever better result in the end.
Im also having the housing cleaned in a chemical bath at the diff shop prior to reassembly.
lolz about the leaves ive heard bannana skins also work haha
looks hot mate good work
