A while ago the r32 got pink stickered and ordered off the road, so I’ve been spending some time and money getting it all legal again. Thats all sorted now.
I also got a pair of model 5’s,
they came black, so I sanded them back and adam resprayed them a bit nicer.
Fitted some of the parts that I’d collected, its still a piece, but its getting there.
The crack in the front bumper is from a cats eye that hit the other day when changing lanes, maybe BN on an r32 wasn’t the best idea for a daily aha.
We both headed down to Taupo on Monday for a drift day organised by Drift Motorsport NZ. Awesomely run day, heaps of track time, basically full track drifting and super cool people to drift with.
Damage for the day was; my rear gaurd and bumper destroyed due to a tyre exploding, 2 axles, and the track mashall beating up adams hotroad front when he came off (fixable though!).
Cheers to Keisuke for the photos, check his blog for more shots from the day.
Adam quickly pulled out the rears the Saturday before, so he could get rid of some of the camber in the back, hes going to clean up and respray the quarters soon. Both cars had heaps more grip, and it made a massive difference. I also got my car tuned, it made 200kw which isn’t much, but the torque curve keeps climbing right up till redline, and it was awesome to drift with. I just need to get a boost controller as the boost was dropping from 14 to 12ish psi.
Picked up a bunch of stuff for the corolla the other day.
Blue top 4age, oversized pistions, twin sidedrafts, cams etc.
Picked up a pair of SSR star sharks. Heres a photo of us working out what offsets we need, since we are new to this toyota business. We will be getting new outers made up for them, so they will end up 8.5j - 15ish and we will run them on the front. The main reason for the new outers is that the other one looks like this:
Adam came home on saterday from pick-a-part with a 22spline t40 out of a old corona with a 3t in it. So if anyone has a t series box to 4age bell housing let us know!
Box of stuff in the boot thats ready to go in, just waiting on a bell housing so that adam can fab up the mounts.
ripped out the old 4k and box, it took us like 20 minutes, old cars are awesome.
new rb25 turbo, and braided water lines we made up
the link g3 ecu is in, aswell as some ca18det injectors
we also removed all the factory idle control stuff, so while the plenum was off I took some quick photos. I got it a few years ago, and apparently it was made in the same factory as all the JUN stuff
the welds are good, and the internal trumpets are cool! I was really happy when it first arrived.
Picked up my ORC clutch the other day too.
Everythings back together now, just a few things left to do to the rear suspension and its off for a tune. Can’t wait to drift with more than 160kw!
