damo's ae82 twinky

[damo101]

yeah im not a fan of those stoopid torsion beam rear ends..even from factory the camber and toe angles are way out of spec..ive installed new ones and its been worse than the one i just replaced!!

anyway i got some of my LONG term project for the car ae92 dash:

[damo101]

[damo101]

ae101 GZE LSD halfcut coming soon

[MattW79]

Nice ride man! My second car 12 yrs ago was a white twin cam AE82. Man I had some fun in that car. Always wonder if it's still out there somewhere.

[damo101]

cheers mate..there awesome little cars for what they are. well my alarm shat the bed about a month ago and drained my battery so i had the auto sparky around the corner from my work install a Autowatch 446RLI alarm system..i should have done way earlier, im so happy with it.the halfcut should be here within the next 2 weeks.i plan on installing the ae101 dash aswell instead of the ae92 i was going to do..so far:

ae101 LSD 4AGZE halfcut: $2300

water pump (Genuine): $119.08 (trade)

rear main seal (NON-Genuine): $11.40 (Toyota wanted $49)

Dayco timing belt kit: $82.00

still need a clutch kit (recommendations?) and supercharger oil..things like coolant and oils i get from work..there are some good things about being a mechanic!!

Come on mate, where's the Genuine Oil Filter and Seals???

:P :P :P ...

[Guest ddonggae]

nice work dood !!

this is comming along greatly !!

hehe inspiration to get off my azz and repair the trueno.

time without a car = highly lame >_<

i reccomend u do a lightflywheel... yes even on a 4agze.... all 4a engines benifet HUGELY from a lightflywheel.

[Kevsta]

This project is coming along nicely.

I love the ae82 twincam hatches, owned and 88 series 2 one for 10 years and regretted selling it but had to because rust was becoming a pain in the proverbial. I wanted to do the 4agze conversion, but back then the halfcut costed 6K, then another 4K in labour costs to have it fitted professionally. When these came out brand new they were around the 17K mark if memory serves me correctly.

I wanted to get the roh casino roulette looking wheels for it similar to the ones that were used when they raced these but those wheels were stopped production many years ago.

[damo101]

thanks for the replies:

Come on mate, where's the Genuine Oil Filter and Seals???

hahaha 47 bucks for a rear main seal.

i would have gone light weight but heard and read bad things about them on GZE so i just didnt bother with it.

i removed the motor last night.having withdrawls already..i didnt have my camera so i took these this morning.cleaned the bay up because i wanted to paint it while it was all out.
