4age RWD <------ watch this space

[coleman]

after owning my car too long and not doing anything about the crappy 3a engine, i have decided that i will put my money where my mouth is and get the Toyoda a 4ager,

well the plan is:

red top 4age - dont try and make me get a supa charger
t50 gearbox
either hilux lsd or standard lsd or similar with rear disc breaks
new front breaks from ae86 or ae92 - easiest to fit
2.25 mandrel bent exhaust

any other ideas that i should do while the car is in pieces?

damn you mr AE85.6!!!! you and your 4age AE85,

[coleman]

ofcourse i will get some of the AE86 lamps to fit on the front bumper,

maybe some supra mags too

[AE85.6]

ye i knew that would piss you off haha but hey its still got heaps to do, well its a race then, to do up our 85s and now ive pulled ahead so its your turn to set the pace, nah just jokes but will be good to join some of the cruises or track days when they are ready cant wait for a thrash round a circut ay,

hey if anyone knows if nightparts has an email this would be appreciated as i have sent niteb a msg but i think hes not on as much cause they are moving at the mo and myself and "TOYODA" are planning a little work there,

[gdsup]

try pm either karl skewes or Drifter4ag from garagedori if you have trouble getting in contact with nite b, fully reconmend nite parts for any ae86 requirments

get rid off the sound deadning, a dude on the board did this and saved 17kg
also get rid of the aircon if you have it, and dont be lazy, get rid of the stuff under the dash as well, i did this for a mate and hadn't done it before, it should only take half an hour to do (thats what it took me)
ohh and clean all the road shite out from your engine bay when the engine is out, the paint is always the hell filthy, thats if you like bling, if you like drinking warm beer and watching tele instead then thats probably a better option

[coleman]

yeah air con will go, it sounds like a witch got caught under the bonnet anyways, hopefully it wont effect the power steering,

plan is to get the engine bay sprayed at same time,

hopefully in the long run go the same red as the batmo rx7's

[scotts2hot]

Supercharge it!

[coleman]

Supercharge it!

at this moment in time, no,

depending on progress etc and money flow, it might happen

i will be happy with a 1600 for now,

atleast itwill still be in a N/A class and the only thing that would beat it would be a Vtec honda

[PumpN]

atleast itwill still be in a N/A class and the only thing that would beat it would be a Vtec honda

thats still debatable

he who strips the most wins that class

[razool]

well thats right
SUPERCHARGE IT

yeah, not planing on totally stripping it, the interior is the best thing about the car, so will most likely keep it all in there,

but if on the motor way and some dork is getting smart ic an blitz him (fingers crossed)

i seriously doubt it...
but you have one advantage sideway's motion

[Drifter4ag]

i would suggest buying a bluetop 4age as they are much better in stock form in my opinion. And you can get them as factory RWD and in the long run retain value far better than a dunga redtop that is slow to rev and has no peakyness

[AE85.6]

yeh and like what was said about the sound deadining crap he saved 17kg i know this cause he said he put it in a plastic bag and weighed it quite surprising be of weight loss might be a go spesh if we gonna add some with a hilux rear end

[coleman]

got my supra wheels today, sweet

all i need to do is sell the 16's on it now

what are the main differences and advantages ober getting a blue top?

[PumpN]

they are easier to convert to RWD as drift4ag has said, they are also dime a dozen and everywhere, bluetops came in so many different cars its not funny (AW11, AE82, AE86 etc ....)
Also it has been proven that if you can get enough fuel into them they will take a lot of boost and make a ton of power all on factory internals

also the bluetop revs up quicker due to its lighter internals and goes really well at high rpm due to its higher lift and longer duration cam profiles

[offensive]

im just doin this myself atm, but in a te71

as for what engine to use and how much power and which is better blah blah blah, u can debate this until u go blue in the face.

a blue top would be a good choice mostly cos theyre cheap, u should be able to score one for around 300 - 400 bux if u look hard enuff.

also try to find a rwd bluetop, its waterpump, water hose fittings, alternator is already setup for rwd and less hassel. unless u get a fwd 4age and plan to just use fwd pumps in stuff, then i dunno cos i havent done that

[gdsup]

fwd water pipes are sweet as, go the bluetop, hell i ditched my gze bottom end for a bluetop bottom end and i sure as hell aint in no hurry to go back

[coleman]

well it sounds like a blue top is the call,

anyone got a good one lying around??

with all the bits and pieces i need,

just gotta have a talk to nite part about doin the work,

and of course sign my life away on the loan, haha
it will be worth it
