    Default My T18

    Hey, relized I havent made on of these yet, so here is my 1980 T18, stuff that I have done so far is, original lowered with cut springs, now has MA61 coilovers and brakes in the front, has a TRD 2 way LSD with 4.3 GR, still cut springs in the rear but will be getting proper ones soon, flared guards with 15x8 +-0 koya ae teks all round, has a 38/38 weber and extractors and 2" with one high flow muffler and a hotdog resignator sounds good, thats about it will be getting resprayed due to a bit of rust but I love this car!


    Just put the coilovers in the front and you can't push down at all like there is hardly any travel, they are ma61 ones with 8kg springs and tokico inserts I knew it wouldn't move much but when you try to press down it wont move at all, checked the inserts before i put them in and they work fine, at first wound down the coilovers all the way and the springs wernt even captive when it was all the way on the ground!

    Updated with pictures.

    how do you adjust the ride height on coilovers? The last picture with camber is with then wound up so the spring is just captive with no load but it doesn't get any lower when you wind them down. Not that I mind though cause it will be around 100-110 when I do finish the rest of the car.

    Needs an update.
    So its been a while and this now has BC AE86 coilovers in the front and the 6kg BC springs and shocks in the back, with JDM front brakes. Also now have 13x8 SSR MK2's with neg 13 offset all round But the only thing is the ones on the front are a newer model but still looks alright.

    Been trying to get out and on the track to do things legally, never drifted on a track before so I have now been to QR twice and love it and been to archefield for the first time on Saturday, had fun even with the little 3t got a few pictures that I will try to upload.

    Thanks, its a bit hard cause the 3t only revs to 6 and hard to keep wheel speed up.
