just stripping the head off at the moment, to change the valve stem seals. been to toyota today to get the bi-hex tool for the head, but they didnt have one.......... and i saw the new 86 in there yesh yesh just arrived this morning. i asked if i could have it to race, and they sponsor me, they say noooooo, but may sponsor th other 86 and paseo.

and bad news, the paseo doesnt qualify for stock hatch, its toooooo light. so will go in Supermodified :S so while ive got the head off, its getting skimmed 1mm to up the compression, port and polish the head, and match the manifolds for now.

theres no carbon on the pistons, and the bores are mint, so its got potential for a bit of tuning.

ive got a brand new head tool and a set of brand new genuine toyota valve stem seals if you want mate.

pm me if you want them

[Rob Scott]

cheers for the offer dude, allready got a full gasket kit.

[Rob Scott]

hmm, think i'm gonna stick my boat on ebay to pay for some decent suspension.

so anyone want a picton GTS 150 14ft speedboat with a johnson electric start 20hp outboard? lol

also seeing as the car has to run in super-mod, i'm gonna either turbo the 5E or put together a 7a-ge 16v turbo but not injection

got the head back, and just put it back on the engine.

put each piston to TDC and rotated the cam shafts to check for any interferance, and there isnt any, even with 1mm shaved off there! so good news is, even if the cam belt snaps, the engine shuld be ok.

picked up a new continental cam belt and alt belt for 28 squids from my local auto factors, so once the rain stops, i'll get it all back together,

anyone know of any tubular exhaust manifolds for sale?

cheeeers

[Rob Scott]

N/A manifold for the time being matey,

[Aamir]

A lot of hard work put into this! Looks awesome

[vwpolo]

Would you be interested in making more of them struts in exchange for body parts etc?? I have two paseos stripped or would tgat rollcage fit a starlet??

[Rob Scott]

Yeah sorry, a lot happened last year, got a new job, and got married too.

Been working on it today, made the polycarbonate windows, and wrapped the roof in carbon fibre too.

I'll get some more pics up tomorrow.

[Rob Scott]

The car was gonna get raced this year in the BTRDA rallycross champoinship, but last week i got an email, its been cancelled for this year.... ghay.

so looks like I'll be doing some hillclimbs in it for this year...

looks like all my previous pics have gone, whats happened to the forum since i've been gone? seems its all gone to cock?

Did some more work on it today, finished off the backbround vinyls, fitted cam belt, shimmed up the valves,

just got to change the oil and set the timing and fingers crossed it should be OK and not smokey :S

[steed]

she's looking and sounding real good man. Wish i could justify doing this to mine but the shell is just too rotten to try that with (so she's getting broken this week, sad times).

[Rob Scott]

nowt a bit of welding cant sort, i'm sure.

anyways, looks like i'll only be doing one rallycross event this year in November at croft, due to skintness.... i just bought a Delorean and shipping it from the US.... alltho i will be doing some road rallies and also co driving in the '86 in the isle of man

so my mate Hannah will be hillclimbing the car this year, she will be at Scammonden Dam Hillclimb this sunday, so i should get some pics and maybee vid too
