Just looking for some general info on these old things, I'm looking at picking one up and slotting an 18RG in. I'm specifically looking at an R-engined, single cab, ute back (not cab chassis).
Just want to know:
-How much do they weigh?
-What front brakes do they run (4 pots? )
-What is the steering setup and suspension design?
-What diff ratios are available?
-Is it Just me or is there 2 different wheelbases (tray lengths) available?
-How hard to fit a 5spd (not that it matters much)
-Does anyone make lowered front springs, lowering blocks, better front shocks for these things?
-Wheel offset? (I heard they were the same as Pre-AU falcons, Hiaces, stuff like that)
I was toying with the idea of a cheap 18R-G celica build then I thought, hey, a hilux would be cheaper, has a tough diff, box, and (I guessed ?!? ) decent brakes, plus if I'm going to be torching rear tyres on a regular basis, well falcon stud pattern is useful....
