Richie_k83 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Lol /QUOTE] Lol indeed. Gotta wait for the weekend, rear cat bolts need chopping off as the rust has had them Luckily the fronts are good and came out no hassle, so will be firing up the grinder on Saturday lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Managed to get it all fitted up on Saturday... Looks great and sounds brilliant when under load and on boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Gave the old girl a clean the other day, took some time to give the engine a wipe down, love how clean this thing is Also, had a look through some old clearance stock at work, decided to snap up some old Rays Wheels. 18" Gram Lights 57 Maximum Pro Time Attacks and 57 Motorsport G07WT's both fitted with new Rays Red Valves. Hoping to have some sticky rubber come the end of the month and coilovers fitted too, cant bloody wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Making some progress now. Mate at work has a Lathe, so turned down the centres on my new Cusco plates to accept the HKS Bearing Carriers. Fitted some new bolts and were all ready to go on. Ended up bolting them up on Sunday, has taken ages it feels after lots of messing about and a few hicups on the way, but all on and sitting nicely. Ride is firmer, doesnt squat on boost now which is nice Also changed out the HKS Filter for a JR Filter, HKS one wasn't sitting right and short of the cold air feed. JR one fits better Edited October 24, 2017 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Well I havent updated this in a while... I had it up for sale to put towards grown-up commitments OR something with a manual Gearbox. Couldnt go through with it in the end, not many of these around at all and seeing as she is the most practical Rwd Japanese Car I have owned, it probably isnt the best call. Unless the right Car came up.... So, moving forwad, I got my Wheels and Tyres on. Fitted them with Rays Nuts and Hub Rings. Might as well fit the best as its my first time owning a branded Wheels Considering they are Cast and not Forged, they are still very lightweight. However, I wasnt kept on the Black Wheels, so made the call to get them re-painted in Silver. Also did the lettering on the Tyres, but i'm not so struck on it, so may well be scrubbing that off.... Still, it looks much better. For now, its off the road thanks to a complete failure of the drivers rear strut. After some strange noises and a quick look underneath, the strut Shaft has sheared just below the top mount. Apparently a friend of mine has seen it before on these. I guess given the age, I dont know what kind of life they had before. Anywho, Cusco have saved the day and offered a new pair of rear struts with Spring Platforms and locking rings. All of which is compatible with the HKS Spring and OE Top Mount. I Should have them in a couple of months and be back out to play in no time. So 2018's further modifications and repair list goes as follows; * Replace rear Struts * Fit Kaaz LSD * Fit Cusco 7 point Roll Cage * Fit Bride Bucket Seat and Seat Rail * Fit Transmission Oil Cooler * Replace Passenger Front Window Regulator * Fit Nardi Steering Wheel Edited January 3, 2018 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Kaaz LSD = banging and juddering, horrible in a road car. Can be improved with loads of friction modifier in the oil, or the mega dear OS Giken LSD oil, but will still be a snatchy and jumpy thing. Could the budget run to an OS Giken LSD??? Different as chalk and cheese... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different as chalk and cheese... We’re actually the Uk importer for Kaaz LSDs lol. The biggest causes of noise is people using the wrong oil, not the Kaaz specific stuff, or the preload is just too aggressive for its application. The noise doesn’t bother me too much, i’m a 2 year Veteran of driving with a welded diff lol. But I would be inclined to try one of their Super-Q LSD’s as they’re quieter. Arent OS mega money?

Richie_k83 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 First Parts delivery of 2018! Bride FO Seat Rail and a Limited Edition Cusco/Bride Colaboration VIOS III Bucket Seat. Cant wait to get this bolted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Got the Seat and Rail together, such a good looking seat, Promptly got it home and bolted in. Will be keeping the stock seat belt for now as I dont have a Cage yet and I still need to use the back seats. Its a snug fit, literally like wearing the Car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well, the Car is still off the road and its killing me..! But, as the arse end is still up in the air, I decided to pull the diff and get a KAAZ 2-Way Super-Q LSD in there. All out and waiting for the new Bearings and Seals to get here from Japan. Also got round to un-boxing up the new Cusco rear Dampers! Fortunately, I ordered the upper Spring Seat adaptor plates from Cusco which allows me to use them with the OE Toyota Top Mounts. All I needed to do was trim the factory dust boot off with a stanley knife. The HKS Springs are the same diameter and free length too, so thats saved me a little. Unfortunately the HKS Spring Seat and Locking Rings dont fit the the Cusco Dampers, so I had to shell out for those, but arriving any day with my diff bearings and seals... As a bonus, I forgot they have adjustable Dampening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Spending a few minutes stripping the Diff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well, the Diff housing is all cleaned and painted, Ring Gear is bolted and torqued up, just stuck waiting for the Bearings and Seals now... Hate waiting for parts...! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Finally got the rest of my parts to get this back on the road. Diff is all back together, and the rear Coilovers are now built up, just need to brave the cold and spend a few hours under the Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Well the diff is working a treat, super happy with it at the moment, so making the arrangements to get trackside asap. Since I'm so chuffed with the car right now, I did a few buys and got some Rays WR Caps for the Wheels to cover up the rusty Hub Nuts Along side that, Driftworks hooked me up with a nice new Nardi Steering Wheel and HKB Boss, Plus I finally got round to having the rear windows tinted Happy with how its coming together Edited March 22, 2018 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Few more lifestyle mods this week, Takata Drift-II Snap-in Harness Running this alongside the seatbelt, so i have the option still to have rear seat passengers and not be left without a seatbelt. That being said, I wont use the Harness until I have a Cage fitted. Also clocked these little Wing Mirror Rain Deflectors on a Facebook Post the other day, thought they'd look cool on the Chaser, so ordered a pair up. Pretty inexpensive little mod for £3 I have also ordered some new wheels, which I should see here next week, Not your usual JDM Spec Wheel, went for some Speedline Type-2120 in Anthracite. Better offsets too, so should fill the arches a bit better without needing spacers.
