Stu Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sweet car! Good luck with the conversion. Ive had a heap of 71s over the years and love them. Almost tempted to build another as a daily Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yaristurbo Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 not much on a update just sorting things for the build got some newer ep hubs coilovers already to go on drained the fluids today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Picked up some ebc front brakes off Timd tonight parts stocking up engine should be ready soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 if i could do my build all over again on mine, I would definitely make some changes to how i did it, particularly to remember keep all the 1e mounts as they fit the donor engine perfect and also I would wire the 4e fusebox behind the dash, rather than putting it in the engine bay. Could of made the wiring in the bay much tidier. Another head ache is the intercooler placement without cutting the bumper, the airflow isn't great as the bumper acts as an air dam, i think a charge cooler is the way to go Look forward to your updates!

yaristurbo Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Taggy is like you read my mind lol cc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 nothing major yet, got some EBC brakes for the old 70 so test fitted all the brakes and ep91 hubs looking well, if I can find a way to get a undriven wheel speed I might use the front abs sensors for launch control. gonna get the coilovers fitted tomorrow hopefully. behind the scenes ive been battling with the forged 5e got up and got the head stripped and zisco valve stem seals going in, all the engine is fresh now and fully rebuilt. some pics for now hopefully have some intresting updates soon this will hopefully be done for japfest or the glanza will have to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Always a mad rush for the shows isn't it Mine is in the body shop next week getting all the rust removed off my rear arches. Think its a common problem on these, should be looking like new for Japfest. Good work keep it coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
