we had a little side project on the go here over the last few days,phillis wanted to convert to NA running gear (better gearing,lighter box) so i thought yeah dead easy a couple of hours will have the bugger sorted....
WRONG!
we ended up spending a whole day fannying around drilling holes in the gearbox and block so that the NA box would successfully mate to the 1mz,nothing too spectacular in that until we came to slide the Mk2 NA shafts in..... phils custom AAS exhaust headers where bang in the way of the drivers inner CV joint....bugger!
So nothing else for it,we had to fit a celica NA supported shaft arrangement,which meant a custom fab job... so here it is,say hello to the worlds first 1mz equal length supported NA driveshaft set up...

We painted it gold cos we know how much he loves the bling!
Ive got to build the very same item for my project too so it was a good learning experience and hopefully it will negate any torque steer. :thumbsup:
Nice bit of fab work, digging the support bar too :thumbsup:

Top draw work mate, another Woodsport first. I'm like the gold bling,bling. I'm pleased you didn't have any pink kicking around. Looking forward to taking her for a spin.

Does that rev5 box have LSD?

Phil, you'll have to let me know how it feels mate :)

Thats what we thought, I was told the gearbox was out of a 98 car and I've no reason to doubt him.

hi when i whent to pick it up he did say though it came of a very low mileadge car under 30 thou cause he was swapping all the engine and drivetrain and brakes cause the guy who had bought it was reshelling his old turbo rev three that some one had kindly tboned him in the side and he had spent quite a lot on it and it was produceing 550bhp.
found does similiar work to paul mostly updradeing toyota mr2 turbos and celica gt4 had a lovely big turbo wrc gt4 on the ramps.
very nice bloke did a bit of businnes with him as he sells good second hand stuff that he upgrades of customers cars.
Get driving - I want to know how the na box compares to the turbo

Right then, I will look into harvesting some. I'll keep my eyes open on ROC.
@Johnny, don't need LSD to trip mate, all the time the grape variant does the trick!:jump:

Yeah I'll go along with that, great to deal with and very reasonable prices.
He told me it eas out of a 98 rev 5 that was getting a rev3 tubby lump put into it.
If this works out ok I might be back onto him for some more goddies.

hi phill just at pauls now looks the dogs danglies can see why it was a bastich to sort but looks good with the suported shaft setup.
Yes mate it has been a problem but as ever Paul and Anth have come up with the goods.
I heard there was a right motley crew up at Woodsplurt today.
Cannae let the boys get on with any work, it's a Saturday FFS! lol

It's part of your cunning plan to stop Paul working on his car on a Saturday so you can get yours done first mate.lol
Only drawback is, when am down there distractin him, i cannae be workin on my car.
/Back to the drawing board :hmm:
Good point maybe he could come and see you, take travelling time into it. You could inch ahead.
Aye, get him to come up here and work on mine instead. Genius plan!! :thk:
Now all i gotta do is paint it Silver and dress up like Anth so he doesn't notice where he is.

buy me a silver dress and i might sort it for u
Deal, what size are you? lol
Got the car back today after the 2 hour n/a gearbox swap. The car "flat out hauls", it's alot quicker plus you can kick the backend out and you know what the car is going to do. I'm over the moon with it, well apart from the bloody flat spots on my tyres.
Def seems the way forward the supported shaft set up, great work mate thanks once again.:thumbsup:
Warning this clip contains foul Woodsport lingo.

Phil .. looks the nuts, sounds the nuts and with a proper driver (i.e. Anth, in that clip) goes the nuts.
I bet it feels fuckin devastating after the Polo!!
Love that car. Dibs please lol

That is sweet! Sounds and looks fantastic and apparently Paul is quite satisfied with the brakes! lol
I believe the translation into traditional nomanclature is that "one is most satisfied" with said brakes
lol

Johnny I can't tell you how happy I am with it, I feel like a Man City fan.
It just seems the right package for the power of the car. It seems like you have another 40-50 bhp on tap. It would be nice to know how much a n/a can take.
It's not in the polo's league yet but it's getting there.
Yes mate you can have dibs but I think it will be a while before I let her go.

Yeah mate I got sea-sick going home with the flat spots on my tyres.

Dibbed away:thumbsup:
Did you sort the lanky streak of piss out with some hobbernobbers?
He's moved onto corned beef pasties.
ffs... noted for when I'm over next
Aye it'll be cavier, fois grs and lobster next.
Or spicy squid in the 'Buddha
Yes mate he's gone awefully upmarket since he opened that coffee shop.
Is it one of those "special" coffee shops like you get in the dam? lol
That sounds immense Phil, and it really looks like it's making proper use of what it's got. How is it on motorway driving, still alright for ya?
He only does 100 miles a century in it :P

Love that car!
Paul's coffee shop is like the "Emperors New Coffee Shop" only he can see it.
Ollie I can't say how good the car feels and drives even for a mk2. The car should be now well under 1200 kgs now so I think I'm gonna concentrate on the suspension and maybe a little more weight loss. Oh and some new tyres.

Dibs retracted!
My lawnmower has done more miles than your car the last year.
Love that car!
Cheers mate:thumbsup:
Do you know what celica these shafts came off Phil?
Am off to hunt for a set myself.
Not sure if they are gen 4 or 5 mate. I got them of Paul.
Woods you bastard you locked the wheels up twice, they locked up when you were driving away from us as well as when you come towards us. Bloody women drivers.

unbeknown to you phil i was actually aware of a slight wheel imbalance so i was removing the appropriate amount of rubber from certain areas to balance your wheels up again :)

Is that Irish terminology for, "I can't fuckin' drive, so I can't!" ??
There's a slight wheel imbalance now.
I bet they're like 50p peices now mate after that.
Well thats all the tyres will be worth.
Prob all 4 mate. At least the car won't roll away on a hill if I forget to put the handbrake on.
