yes, it's come time to let go of my baby unfortunately. I'd like to see it go to a good home, so I'm not going to advertise it anywhere except here for a couple of weeks.
1984/10 RA65 celica, silver/blue, 14x6.5 wheels (rubber on the front is 100km old), cd player, air con, sports pedals, exhaust, pod filter, black widow alarm, rear wing, tow bar, reflective CELICA decals along both sides, perfectly straight body, no rust anywhere, 2x pin dents on rhs front quarter panel, a few stone chips on the bonnet, faded paint on 2 panels.
Engine blows smoke when you floor it (although I'd consider putting a newer engine in it if that's what's wanted).
If anyone wants to make an offer, I'll consider it (assuming it's sensible). e-mail draven@bigpond.net.au ... will go to highest bidder
ideal for a project car

Hey Draven,
Hope your friends house is ok.
Just wanted to ask a few other questions,
Is the car registered?
On another note, I noticed you have a MA61 with a 1JZ in it.
Did you do the engine conversion or was it done when you bought it?
I would be interested in finding out the feasability of doing a similar conversion on the RA65.

Kman,
Do a search on 1JZGTE into RA65. The general concensus is that your car will be too nose-heavy to handle well. A 1GGTE is thought to be the better option.

frank's right. genreal;ly, the 1g-gte is thought to be a better option. of course, the ra65 is 100kg lighter than the ma61, so it actually keeps up fairly well (as I found out last night)
so answer is: yes it's possible, and has been done, but the handling gets reduced to that of a bathtub on shopping trolley wheels on an ice rink.
thanks for the concern, his house is ok for the moment.
yep, it's registered *checks his rego papers* until the 22nd of may.. so still about 6 months

How much is the weight differance betweent he two engines?
I will be there this Sat morning to check out the car.
I'll give you a call before hand but should be there around 11:30 sometime.
I guess there is also a cost differance, as the 1JZ will be more expensive.
Probably should search the Tech and Conversion sections for more info. But do you have any idea on how the current gearbox and diff would handle the 1G. I have a friend that has a 1G in his RA60 at the moment and he has had problems with his gearbox.

there's quite a bit of a weight difference, with the main problem being ALL that weight is going to be at the front tip of your car.
I dont know why you'd keep the standard box... I'd be using the gearbox from the 1g halfcut.
plus a 1jz half cut will set you back a grand or 2 more than a 1g, and it'll be a real bitch to get in (considering the 1g is a bit of a suqeeze,m and the 1j is longer
