good to see another t-18er!
you'll love it! and when people say the old 3t's are unbreakable they arent kidding, my sister blew the head gasket on mine, rather than fixing it the mechanic just took out the thermostat so it didnt overheat and she thrashed the thing cold every day and never had a problem, when it came to me, headgasket fixed and i got a good 100 000 strong km's out of it before it made way for the 2tg hybrid
i think you will find the sway bar from the 83 model t-18 is no good for the 80 model t18.
the problem is where the sway bar mount attatches to the chassis, only the later model t18's had the nuts welded into the chassis to mount the sway bar mount, the hoels are there in the 80 model t18, but unfortunately no thread, you will need to make up some custom mounts and mount them behind the big long trailing arm bolt and use sway bar bolts from another model car which mount vertically, and find a sway bar to match.
one cheap worthwhile mod you should definately do is getting your hands on a ta22 celica diff centre, these are a lower ratio (4.1:1 apposed to 3.9:1)
my cars snapping 2nd in a straight line no worries now, and going a lot harder too with this in it!
anything else you need help with just let me know, happy to help out any other t18'ers!
i pretty much know these cars inside out these days
jesse
- and i have some wheels for sale in the for sale section off my t-18 if you are interested
