benben Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 haha paul, this is freaking genius!!hows the wiring going? any luck with the wheels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodsport Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The wiring is taking time to do, it's a little different from the Corolla T-sport 2zz wiring we previously did, so i need to take time to do it right... also not easy following on from someone elses wiring, i really could have done with the original engines harness for reference, but i'm getting there.Anth is having a go at the wheels shortly.

Turkish91 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 This build is UNREAL! But I'm eager to hear the answer to SiCalns comment, I bet this aint cheap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodsport Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Bespoke engine conversions are never a cheap thing to do, after all nothing is a straight fit and has to be fabricated. I'd not like to put prices on the forum, it's not fair on the paid up traders here, so i'm sticking within the rules.Let's just say a conversion like this is very reasonably priced considering the level of workmanship and attention to detail going into it.

Woodsport Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Sorry for the lack of updates, it took a very long time to wire this car up due to hacked wiring but it now runs, we are just waiting for the bad weather to lift before doing some test runs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atPDP5aRJZM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Woodsport Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 With the wheels tucked under the arches (just!) by adding a little camber to the fronts (1 degree) and the tracking/alignment all done we could begin some testing of this little beast. I also lowered it by a further 15mm all round so hopefully this looks better for you now Chris.Nothing too adventurous just yet, some quick squirts up and down the yard to test the basics. I have to say it takes off like a stabbed rat, it's wheel spinning a bit in second gear with the combination of fresh tyres and a loose surface, i expect that to get better.We are very happy with how it drives so far, really revvy and handles like it should.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NyeNfN761o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
