All in and together

yes indeedie, they are all together now and in the car

today i sealed the deal Uploaded with ImageShack.us

got these over the struts tonight, haven got them into place as yet, but thats on the list in a few days and then getting the weilded into place ready for some springs and placing into the car

Well if I throw a leg. I'll just start again. I have more knowledge this time round and Im going to start the new motor anyway so. First things first is getting it to the race track for a decent run in

started the coilovers conversion in the front last night. Might be done in the next couple of weeks but beggers can't be choosers. Then I just have to put some clips in the left hand caliper then I'm all set. To get it dynoed, hit the track for a test run, and possibly give the drags a go. Depending on funds

Not fussed with prices. It's just the getting of the money that takes its time. I'm happy to pay whatever price as I know full well the higher the price the better quality the item. Anyway I'm more keen on getting the car to handle on the track befor I start the new motor. But first I have to get it too the track

Just thought I would add links to my videos as no one has seen them yet. They will be in order down the page as they happened

Cheers dude will keep that In mind. Although in the mean time, I haven't seen my father in law for a few weeks. And when I went to see him last night because we are in Melbourne Wednesday till Tuesday for racing at Phillip island this weekend. He's already found top quality pistons witch are still standard size. But to allow for offset cams we will be crowning the valve recesses out and he's found some hardcore rods for me. He's going to be knife edging my crank. Port matching and Fully balancing the motor, dual valve spring. He gave me some numbers of the new cams with their grind but I have forgotten them. Solid buckets, adjustable timing gear some stainless valves pretty much the works at this stage. I'm also going to be going for an electric water pump and new alloy radiator.

Thanks guy. It's great to hear that from other people cause people close to me exception of my good friend who already started racing and loves my car and has helped me heaps. Only see it as a bucket. Witch gets me frustrated but they are people that just dont appreciate the car like i do. Mind you with this car I feel I'm going to prove to alot of people how quick and how much power a bucket can have. Mind you having a father inlaw as a mechanic and and a machinest my new motor will be a freak. With aggressive cams some seriously serious internals. Seriouse cooling gear it will be the business. But will probably take me some time to build and some money as well

Just a small update..... Got most of the new front end in today. Just waitng for my new front coil setup to arrive Cheers Sean

you guys wont know this but i have a father inlaw that races i've been to many race track around australia with him racing in historics in group Nc with an LJ XU-1 torana with a heavly modified 202 with tripple webbers, but the bigger car is the capri, its actually one of the most history changing sports sedan in australia being the first semi space-framed sports sedan in australia. and as you can tell its not your average ford capri, it has 11.5x16 hoosier slicks on the front and 13.5x16 AVON slicks on the rear. its the first time in 7 years the capri has been on the track, he had an accident in it in 2004 were it dropped a ball joint and totaled the car, now my father in law is a huge holden man, and this you may wonder would be a bit odd, BUT. this capri is different, running a holden 308 with VN commodore heads and full v8 running gear. and these cars and my father in law himself are the reason i am going to be using my celica as a race car, but am also going to keep it street legal. this is the car sitting with its original photos from a clipping in a magazine the engine is mounted so far back the carbi is just below the front window, and the rear two spark plugs have to be changed from inside the car

and the other toy i have been playing with........
