Re: 3SGTE sprint & Track mk1 build

The rear mesh was just some folded bumper mesh with the metal panel behind cut out!

Car is currently in storage. Engine is rebuilt and mapped, but just needs a couple of days tweaking a few bits on the coolant pipe routing. Unfortunately I have neither time, enthusiasm or cash at the moment!

Re: Wheels for a v6 mk1

Yes the axle inserts can be swapped with some machining! (My wheels are 5 x 114.3) Fronts were machined sw20 Rears were from a camry I think! ? These allowed use of complete mk2 drive shafts as well. Keep in mind this may need some brake mods as well. Mime are modified mk2 brakes and then fit standa...

Re: Wheels for a v6 mk1

I run 15x7.5 front 16x8 rear TE37s on my 3SGTE Mk1 with 205 and 225 Kumho v70a (c.350hp)

Amongst many other chassis mods, for me provides a great balance on track, still allowing some sideways fun.

Re: Evening peeps

195s are ideal on a 7.5" rim. As to whether they will sit flush depends on the offset. A lower offset will help, ideally around 10mm less than stock which someone will need to remind me of. I've run winter tyres for the last two years on my GT86. I've found them to be more of a disadvantage th...

Hi All

Does anybody have any information on how this works to control the fans?

Rev 3 cylinder head thickness tolerance

I have found the tolerances, though think these are for a rev1-2

Thickness: 4.6950-4.6990" (119.253-119.355 MM)

Does anyone have the information for a rev3 head and the exact points it should be measured from?

Thanks

Neil
