So finally, after around 3 years of interest, turned admiration, turned obsession with these cars, I own one. Needless to say, im pretty bloody stoked ;D Some of you Newcastle guys may have seen me getting around this past week, feels as if I haven't gotten out of it since I bought it.
And so heres the specs:
1983 ADM Sprinter
Drivetrain
100kw 16v Small port
Pod filter
What I think is a bigger radiator
Extractors
2.5" exhaust
High flow cat
W5x gear box (in desperate need of a rebuild, need to source the parts for this, if anyone knows where to get them for cheap it would be greatly appreciated)
AE95 4wd flywheel and clutch (wtf...)
Drum brake rear end
Factory LSD
Chassis
Seam welded
Lowered springs (unkown)
Shockies (again, unkown fronts. had a look at the rear and theyre Monroe GT Gas)
Inside
Stripped, but still got rear seats for now
Drift button
Momo wheel
Cd player woot
Outside
Resprayed gunmetal gray bout year and half ago. not show quality, but looks pretty good.
Rolled front and rear guards
Serious window tint
Kouki Levin headlights + eyelids, grille and foglights (currently not working, not sure as to why either. pretty sure bulbs are good, they just stopped working a few weeks ago apparently)
Zenki front lip
15" Longchamps all round, with embarassing widths and offsets 6.5" wide all round i think with highish offsets. nowhere near enough to fill the gaurds, looks pretty wack.
pretty sure thats all
Planned:
i intend to track this car as often as i can, so i want to make it handle a little better and try and make it more reliability, sooo;
Rebuild the gearbox as soon as funds allow and i can get the parts, pretty much asap really
Some wider wheels, im thinking 8 or 8.5 inch and strech some 195s on
Strut top bars, thicker swaybars
RCAs
Higher pressure radiator cap
Lower temp thermostat
Oil cooler
then we'll see how the monetary situations lookin. probably get some better springs and shocks sorted
but enough talking, heres some pics
