J's Hachi Hillclimber

Bwaarp! Landed and delivered finally!
Pretty dirty after it's trip and needs some tidy up but overall she is clean and has a hell of a note.

Not driven in anger yet but the quick trip up and down the driveway, drive into the front gate etc sounds cranky! Love it!
Suspension setup is firm and griptastic.

So begins the process of some minor resto to suit my tastes, Clay bar and wax, organize some slicks and some quiet road to adjust the suspension a little.

Looks great dude. Whats that kangaroo bag cable tied to wiper motor

[jamiesbrain]

No idea mate, traced the pipes for it etc and it goes nowhere really.
There is a wall between the extractors and wiper motor with heat shielding on it, so I guess it was to keep the wiper motor cool during wet drifting?
Couple of little things I am investigating before it gets out for a leg stretching drive, that being one of them....maybe its the water methanol cooling for turbo not located yet? jks

When I get the chance, I might take a closer photo and see what you think....I got nothing apart from wiper motor cooling?

The engine has that inlet flutter hatchi sound that is oh so sweet.
sort of the same as this 14:20min in

I think its washer jet fluid

When I get back from working away, I will investigate.
Though that sounds prob right....thinking about it now.

its pretty common on fresh off the boat imports


nice looking car

when is the first hillclimb?

[jamiesbrain]

The one in late July I think. Going to register and if I am back and not working, I will rock down for a shakedown and see what the old girl needs setup wise.
Pity there is not a test and tune in between as I need a little time to tune it handing wise before....then again it's not for sheep stations so using the event for a shake down will prob do fine too.

pm me if you want any set up tips

post some pics on the AJPS facebook page at some stage for the corollas around the world comp!

[jamiesbrain]

Ta and will do, might contact you closer to the event once I'm crawling under it.

Cheers mate.
