...and bought an sr20det 1600.

Stock motor with evo fmic and 3" exhaust. Coilover front struts with Koni adjustables, lowered rear with spax adjustables. Landcruiser 4pots with 250mm vented rotors up front, stock drums rear.
Sparco seats, 4point harnesses, alloy 1/2 cage.
15" Superlites.
All engineered except the cage.







currently dont have time to play with it due to uni, but want t do some general maintenance stuff before looking at more power. Needs a diff asap, noisy old r160 probably wont last forever.

Very tidy mate!

But what happend to the tits-out FJ Bluey you were going to buy?

cheers mate, bluey ended up being too much of a headfuck, so got this a bit closer to home

Looks good mate. A 1600 will have way more resale value in the future than a bluey anyway. So I says you done well.

Really nice car buddy... how much did you get it for?

I am surprised it was engineered with drums at the rear, how does it pull up?

I'm not sure whats surprising about drum rear?

As for price, it was more than an similarly spec'd 120Y would be worth. A lot more.

Very Nice Looks Schmicko. Could see my self giving in to something like that

Will we see you in another 120Y any time soon?

I agree with Riley, I would have thought that you would need to upgrade the rear drum brakes to get it passed an engineer. Although with the LandCruiser 4 spots that's probably going to pull a car this light up pretty quickly.

I can't quite see on the number plate, is it registered in ACT or Victoria?

drum brakes will probably pull up better the first time around over disc brakes, the only problem is the inability to dissispate heat like a rotor/caliper setup so after a few uses they fade alot quicker

Love the colour! not too many like that

Well my mate who had the same setup as yrs got it knocked back in vic, but i guess it depends on the engineer. Sorry for the hijack.

All good. Considering how little braking the rear does anyway, I'm not at all concerned. I know more SR/FJ 1600s engineered with drums than with disks.

Nice buy. I still run drums on the back as well and mine is also engineered.

Its about how well it brakes not weather they're disks or drums so as long as it passes the braking test it will be fine. I ran drums on mine for ages and it pulled up well.

nice buy, some of those sparco bits would be worth a pretty penny. Its easier to get a 1600 to handle well i reckon too, so you've got a head start there. Nice purchase
