hey guys, had a thread on this on the old site, some may remember it. but i had problems loging in and registering. somthin to do wit my keyboard, thaught i was a spam bot. lol... any way, ive been tipping along with this build slowly. find it hard to get time for my own cars. so here the progress.
as some will remember this is what i started with.
basicaly starting off with a trueno ae86,
1uzfe 8cyl, 32v Quadcam, have to keep her toyota!
4 stud s13 rear axle, to keep same wheel fitment
supra w58 gearbox.
this is what i started off with.
started to trip her down back in january 08, to see what i have to work with?
then cut up the back end, choped the floor and the chasis mount for the panhard rod!

this is how she sat in feb 2008. feelin sorry for her self.
but i took it out there in september 2008 and got stuck in. so heres the update.
!
starting to mount the s13 rear axle, just lining it up. in september
bolted up s13 rear axle, fits sweet.
turned her right way up and started on the engine.
the itb’s arrived
the engine, what I started with, a old v8 out of a soarer.
and what I made of it, built up on stock internals, new belts and gaskets,
ae101 itb’s, custom manifold adaptor, stainless exhaust manifolds, and I polished
the rocker covers, pretty standard but good for 300+bhp.
itb’s, pure sex,,,,,,
throttle linkage
custom flywheel, with auto ring gear. Takes 3sgte clutch kit.
now to mount the engine, at first glance it doesn’t look like its gona fit
but when we measured her up, its pretty tidy. i didn’t cut the bulk head, we bet it back a few inches which was more than enuf, just cut the tunnel,
The cut tunnel for the big supra box.
I then fabricated the cross member,
test fit with lotus box, have a better box coming from England
new ls400 front mounted baffled sump.
a few late nights but it’ll be worth it.
engine in, at last,
I used mounts similar to the mk2 escort, to make
things easyr and cheeper to replace, also stiffer,
now to fabricate the tunnel. I decided to make it out of one piece sheet metal,
just to keep it looking neat
Tacked in place
and finished
seem welded the whole shell, underneath, inside, and in the engine bay, also patched up any rust, and gusseted the chasis in a few places for strength,
right, had big problems with the rear suspension, my original idea was to get ae86 coilovers so I wouldnt have to fabricate turrets in the rear, and I could change the end to suit the axle, so I bought a set, but when fittling them I relised they didnt fit???, it turns out they were for a turreted ae86.. Like ??? ???. Anyway, in the end if I was going to have to turret the rear end I was going to do it properly, so I orderd set of s13 rear coilovers, and got to work.
Big hole
the finished product, my sexy new turrets,
coilovers bolted in, lookin sweet. Man the more I do on this the more I wana drive it,
