Sally Joshie's ra60 coupe!

[ill-minded]

I'd be wary of any cam that advertised being able to rev an engine about 2,000rpm past the factory rev limit. Even if it did let it breathe that much, I don't think the bottom end would be all too pleased, given the relatively long stroke.

By all means, test it, but I do think it sounds like marketing crap, haha.

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Yes this is true......but realistically I'd be happy if it was good for 6000rpm,and I guess if I do destroy the bottom end in the process at least I'll know what needs to be upgraded next,lol....as annoying as that would be at the time!
I may even opt for one with slightly less impressive specs yet,try to avoid throwing a piston out the side of the block or whatever,lol!
The plan is still on the drawing board at this point tho.....I do wanna keep the car as a daily for a while yet,so reliability is one of the main contributing factors I'll be shooting for....secondly I'd like to at least say that I managed to squeezed more power out of a 22r than what a 22re has,if I can do that I'll be a happy man!

should be easy enough tho and anything it makes beyond that will be a bonus!

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Ordered my weber,extractors and an adjustable panhard rod........I'll pull my finger out over the next few weeks,slap this 22r in and and get some rego!
I've got some 5kg springs for now until I find an s13 front setup......I have some more recent pics too after fixing some rust holes and painting the sills where the black strips used to be....looks pretty tidy now,just very stock which isn't really my style.

Love it dude! Wish I had the Celica decals on mine (Y)

[Joshie_Mcslide]

modified a protective strip from a Kia Rio,same width etc. but there a little lower profile.

this pics a bit dark but it's something for now....ill take some better ones today.

Doner rony......thinking about building this up into a drift missile for fun....what cheap engine and 5 speed package you guys reckon I should bolt in on solid mounts?? everything I've looked into telly upto about 2k

Here's some random pics of my former rony because it should never be forgotten!


peace

[Joshie_Mcslide]

True,I was stoked they were in such good condition! It's had a respray somewhere along the line by a previous owner...there are a few pin dents and scratches an patches of clear flaking off in places but you can tell it was well looked after through the years,just not by someone who was mechanically literate at all,lol....the body and interior are great,just the engines been run into,and through the ground!

Here's a few more happy snaps...hahaha!

this one made me happy...RA40 adjustable panhard,winning!




Should get the 22r out of the rony missile over the weekend and hopefully into Sally through the week as the rest of the parts arrive......I've been jonesing to dump her on the rails for a while now....can't wait!

[joeschmo_57]

Rb20 the rona?

[joeschmo_57]

Or even rb30

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Last weekends progress.......I shall drop it in tomorrow,or start anyway!
She'll be in and running this weekend anyway,then it's time for rego and then "finally" suspension!

Some more poses



quick question.....first head I've ever done,and the one head bolt that's still in the block in the pics stripped as I was giving them all a last turn to make sure......I should be safe to just take that bolt out to replace it without causing any drama's yea?
or because it was already torqued to the correct specs before it stripped should I just leave it and hope for the best?
