For the future, i've got some plans At first, i recently bought this: It's a TRD 2 Way LSD. It's for a Zenki KP61, but i hope it'll fit mine. If not, i'll make it fit I'm also having a pair of AE86 front shocks. i wanted to swap them over, but they don't fit, sadly. Now i'm going to try to fit Koni Inserts in my front legs, we'll see how it turns out. I also found a coil-over kit which should fit (Paradise Racing). It should ban out the body roll, i hope. And i'm planning to swap the original 3K-H out for a worked 4K engine. 100cc bigger engine from a Starlet. The engine was used in a rallycross starlet, and is fully blueprinted. Lightend flywheel, balanced crank, lumpy cam, bigger valves, worked head, lighter timing chain (1 row instead of the usual 2 row chain, from a 7K, they told me) and twin 40 DCOE weber carbs. The owner said it deliverd around 100bhp @ the flywheel. That should be quite interesting in a 765 kg car i guess

Now that is a thing of beauty. I'd seen pictures of that LSD everywhere & wondered who'd bought it, if it so happens that it doesn't fit your car, let me know....PLEASE!!!! Oh yeah, welcome to the madness

More Ford wheels? Hi great to have more international/european members. Great car, good to see a different twist on the same car as Racer86's. Have you more pics of that black Celica? we didnt get them with a boot. I wasn't seeing things was I?!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

a local tuningshop made it for me, for 250 euro's. Great car, good to see a different twist on the same car as Racer86's. it's not the same car as Racer86's one He has got a Toyota 1000, i've got a Toyota Corolla. Have you more pics of that black Celica? we didnt get them with a boot. I wasn't seeing things was I?! Indeed, it's the Coupe, it belongs to a friend of mine. In the Netherlands we got them with a boot, but mostly as ST, this one is a GT 1.6. Rare in the Netherlands also. It has some rusty areas, but it can end in a very nice car

There was even a T18 Coupe, but we also didn't get that one. They got it in Belgium though

Welcome! Enjoyed your pic's of the trip to UK (even one or two of my Starlet!), glad you had a good time. The car's great - do you use it in competition?

No i don't use it in competition. The guy who build it, wanted to use it, but once he was busy with the Sedan, he saw a KE25. So he sold the KE20 and went on with the KE25 That one is a serious motor, with a tuned 2T-G in it etc. etc. Looks like this now: He wanted to drive the Classic Monte Carlo Rally, earlier this year, but i don't know if he actually started. My car was used in Belgian "navigation rallies". With regularity rides and stuff. I do have got a nice picture when it's in full action, but need to get my scanner to work, because it's an old picture. i just use it as a daily driver atm

Love em both. I thought you rallied the 20 too! That said, it's pretty cool to see a car in full rally trim as a daily, must get it's fair share of looks!
Did you buy the LSD off Yahoo auctions? It's an X-code centre? I'd love one of those, ah well I'll have to make do with my stupid 3.4:1 single spinner for now (3.4:1 is an awful ratio for a standard K series... god knows why mine has it, it's more often found in auto Starlet's)

jep, it came from Yahoo Japan. I haven't got a clue about X-coded centre or not. The seller said it was for a Zenki KP61, so i thought i'd give it a try. Maybe a strange thought, about such an expensive thing, but if it works i can do this: A lot better And indeed, it draws a lot of attention. I get quite a few thumbs

Today the TRD LSD got delivered!!! I immediatly went to my shed to rip the halfshafts out of my spare rear axle to test fit them And they don't fit yet....... :evil: Both halfshaft and diff have 20 splines on them, but it seems that the KP61 halfshafts are a bit smaller then the KE20 ones! So i need to get the halfshafts resplined, then it should be OK I'll make some pics tomorrow, when it isn't dark anymore

Yesterday I finally got to fit the AE86 front struts, here's a story of yesterday Getting rid of the old curse word: When I got the strut away, I 'only' needed to remove the steering arms, which wouldn't get out of their position. At that time 2 friends arrived, and they solved the problem (after a long time bashing on the bolts/steering arm etc. etc.) with a 'dutch screwdriver' 3 hours after I started, the AE struts where finally on: installing the brake bits on 2 sides: Spot the difference 'new' wheels (4x114,3 8) ) on the car: Checking: Looks nice, doesn't it? Ready!

Today it was time to go on with the 4K. When it's ready, it shoudl make around 100 ponies ;D I could borrow some SST's from the local Toyota garage, so I could fit my valves easier. At first the valves and seats needed a little grind: Then all this had to be fitted... ...with this kinda tool 1 valve ready, 3 with valveseals and 2 empty valve guides ready to fit the retainers: ready: Testfitted the rockers (they need to come off to get the lifters installed when the head is on the lower block): Started with 'deuglying' the valve cover
