Picked up my diff yesterday, got it gutted and started on the grinding.

Looking good. I like the wheels. They look like a chromed & widened Pontiac rim?

[ilovea9x]

There a HQ GTS wheel that's had the centre cut out and fitted too a new rim, there available in sizes 15-18 and up too 20 wide.

[ilovea9x]

No leaving that too the professionals, I'm just cutting off the old mounts as it works out cheaper if you do it yourself.

[ilovea9x]

Should be around the $1000 mark and as I'm getting new axles not from them it may end up cheaper.

Got the mounts cut off, just need to grind them flush.

Can I ask you where you found these wheels?

The guys name is Ewan Wheeler you can find him on Facebook.

Got the box in today was hoping the Toranas crossmember would fit as it's the same mount but it would sit it to high and it was hitting the tunnel.
My old Dellow's crossmember would have worked but it was cut for the celica box but at least it would hold it up for me until I make the new one.
Shifter came out a bit short, would be fine if I didn't want to use the console.

Thanks heaps.  I'll go and check him out.

 

Great work on your build

Ended up reversing the shifter and I have a 8" up and 3" out bend hurst shifter coming so my forearm should clear the console now.
Only just needed a small tunnel mod so it would fit.

The new hurst stick still hasn't got here, but I've been playing with the gearboot.
Wanted it to sit up high in the console so it can be seen. The shorter stick doesn't really do it any Justice but I like it.

[ilovea9x]

Gearstick has finally got here, seems to hit the plate when going for 1,3,5 so a little cutting for clearance and it should be good.

What did the box and bell housing set you back if you don't mind sharing?

[ilovea9x]

So far about $4400 as I had to get the clutch plate made to suit.
The bell housing on its own is $700 and box $3150.

Getting back to the ignition, my module finally arrived from America and is currently having a mount made for it.


This is what it will look like once it's finished.
