Upgrades, Updates & A Fail on Woody's Crown Wagon - The Skid Factory
Рет қаралды 93,327
Күн бұрынToday on The Crown Factory, Woody's Wagon is in the Shed to replace the Radiator with an EBay MA70 Supra Alloy unit along with fitting a GFB Boost Gauge to confirm that the SuperCharger is actually working.
We also attempted to install some Disc Brakes to the rear but it ended up being a bit of a fail due to Al's past antics with his 2JZ Crown....

eBay has been surprisingly useful for me after not really using it much for 10 years. used to buy motorbike bits on there all the time... just installed a cheap ebay radiator in my car (206) after a plastic crack started while driving back from the GC. and yeah, those clips are annoying with pliers. forgot about the multigrips sitting in the toolbox. kept the same crappy hose though...

When you're trying to get stuck brake pistons out of the calliper, just put a bolt in the hole where the flex line went en put a grease gun on the bleed nipple. Way easier and works every time.
@statementleaver8095 2 жыл бұрын
Putting wood in the calliper as pads whilst still attached to the hub works a treat aswell. Is even easier when not flopping about on a table.

You could free up that axle if you just soaked the whole hub in the rust remover. Just let it sit for like a week. Should come right out. If not, you can drill an access hole in the axle tube, and pour in some of the rust remover. Attack from both sides.

@@theskidfactory Had one of those once. Got a bit of old bar that was smaller than the inside of the spines, fed it though the other side of the axle, and used a hydraulic gear puller to press against the axle though the diff. Cracked the welds clean off the pumpkin and pulled the axle tube out. Ended up cutting the guts out of the diff with a angle grinder. The real kicker, after cleaning up the welds, the tube when back in, and nothing was out of wack. Didn't even bend the flange with the puller.

You should transplant a 1GFE Beams (Altezza/IS200) then use the rods and pistons from this supercharged engine in it, then turbo on top. aswell as the 6 speed gearbox to make it manual (the is200 sport has a torsen lsd and much better gearratio by factory) It would be supergood, not expensive at all, and alot of fun to watch and follow as a project.
