stevie82 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 I gave the box a small clean whilst it was out and fitted a new aisin clutch, old one didn’t look too worn even though the pedal felt high but the release bearing was a bit buggered so glad that’s been donebeforeafter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 With the box being out it made access easier to do a couple of other jobs, fitted solid shifter bushes (also going to be fitting a hypersport short shift)old rubber bushesnew solid bushes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevie82 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 C pillar bar turned up today so got it fitted along with my belt, inlet gaskets also turned up too ( was like Christmas morning) so need to get the inlet done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Looking good dude is that's your harness was attached to the cpillar bar if so that's really not a good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 It’s just a mock up, it will be bolted with eyelets through the floor with support plates Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You need to add a bar behind the seat at shoulder height Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 It’s for time attack, what I’m using is perfectly safe and if the plate I’m using rips through the floor it would be the least of my problems. ideally I would mount it to a cage but it’s not having one and doesn’t need one to compete in the class it will be running in but thanks for the concern Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Finally got round to fitting the Corolla inlet, just got brakes to fettle then it’s off to the Dyno for a laugh !!! Edited August 27, 2019 by stevie82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 What a great build! Nice to see such attention being lavished on an NA bud! Dont know how I missed this thread before now! Looking forward to more updates! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 let s know how the dyno goes as im keen to see if the corolla mani makes a difference. If you can get hold of the support bracket then I would as the mani will crack eventually. If you cant find one then I have one that I made until I managed to get hold of a proper one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Not been on for a while and work on the sr has slowed a little but it will definitely be ready for this years tss. I’ve decided to change the bonnet and drivers wing due to damage from previous owners and change the bumpers as I don’t like the smoothed ones that are on it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevie82 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 I knew the car had been involved in a rear end shunt at some point of its life as I noticed the boot floor was creased when I went to view the car so was prepared to fix it properly..... even though the back panel was £240 from Toyota 😱 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevie82 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 All pulled out plenished and lined up with new back panel spot welded in 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
