My E11

[PaulinhoT]

It's coming along pretty quickly already :)

Good work

[Littlenicky]

Will slow down when i have to fork out for the bodykit :(

Wont be doing too much more now until the 165 has gone , which should be End of March early April. Interior of it was painted today.

[PaulinhoT]

The bodykits have scared me with there prices, I have a budget of about £10-£15k for this year, but the body kit was going to eat 1/3rd of that :( which has really made me rethink what I plan to do. Were you looking at the Booster kits ?

Also can I ask, is the celica for a customer ?

[Littlenicky]

Yup planning on getting the kit from booster tuning , and yep the 165 is a customers car , hes planning on rallying it in April , although it has no engine in it atm :S

[Littlenicky]

This is us at rallyday 2011

[PaulinhoT]

Thanks for that, I enjoyed the anti-lag :-)

[Littlenicky]

Picked up the Celica this morning.

[PaulinhoT]

This is looking good already :)

I'm going to be taking notes on this..lol

[Littlenicky]

Inside of the car is looking very sorry for itself

[PaulinhoT]

I always wondered what was behind the dash :)

Can I ask, I was going to take mine off to have it flocked.. is it a sod of a job to do ?

[E834FPB]

some flocking crowds can flock the dash in car

[PaulinhoT]

Really, I didn't know that, cheers :)

[Littlenicky]

If you can get the dash flocked in situ then do it that way , taking the dash out was a right !Removed! , in the end i just started cutting wires.

[Littlenicky]

Did a bit more today

Engine virtually ready to be dropped out , hopefully i get a good price on eBay

[PaulinhoT]

This is coming along pretty quickly, impressed with this :)

[Littlenicky]

Will take a photo of the back of the dashboard to show you how many wires there are coming out of the back of it , got a bad feeling build is gonna slow down a bit when i have to fork out for that body kit :(

[PaulinhoT]

Yeah the cost of it is a killer :( but it will look mighty :)

[Littlenicky]

Dashboard

Loads of screws hidden all over the place , right pain to get out.

Also removed a bit more of the interior.

[Littlenicky]

Peugeot 106 turned up today to be turned into a Super 1600 , workshop is now rammed.

[Littlenicky]

We were on Motors TV tonight , but i missed it :(

[PaulinhoT]

Quality, if your running out of space and you don't mind, I can look after the GT4 for you :) lol

Np , as long as you promise to bring it back when i need it.

Couple of small problems with it , Ive sold the wheels so its sat on axle stands and it also has no turbo.

[PaulinhoT]

doh bugger lol :)

So can I ask, when you say your putting the GT4 floor plan onto your E11, do you mean cutting the floor out and swapping them over, or just taking all of the mounts etc and welding them on, as I often wondered how different the Corolla WRC was.. when I spoke to a team a little while ago that still used one they told me that NO parts would transfer from a E11 WRC to an E11 road car :(

We were going to Swap the GT4 floor with the E11 but after looking at the homologation papers we only need to fabricate a few a things to make everything fit.

[PaulinhoT]

I bet that makes for an interesting read ;)

I would never of understood 1/2 of the work that went into making the AE111 WRC. I can see why the guy I spoke to in Ireland that owned one said the cars were very different. The roll cage is mighty impressive, far more to it than I every thought.

This is going to be a mega project, and well worth a read. A lot of work mind, but the end result will be SO special.

Thanks again Anthony for the info, and spurring me on..
