Far out those rear wheels have moved a long way forwards.  IC look neat, nice and short.

It was a big hit
The trailing arms on the RHR suspension is bent like a banana, the roof is rippled and the ratchet on then backrest of the drivers seat is stripped.
Dude was lucky he didn't break his back.
The intercooler is a neat fit and once I get the right hoses will fit a little better. I will use a hard pipe from the intercooler to the inlet manifold and add a bov in there.

Found a deep 32mm socket at Supercheap - yeehah - will be able to get the Corolla back on its wheels today, the wife's car will be able to go back in the garage and I will not have to sleep on the couch.

Nice and tidy setup you have going there. The top mount setup looks like it packages so much better than a bottom mount - im a bit jealour on the front.

How big a heat exchanger are you looking at running? There is actually a bit of room in the front of the car, as you might struggle fitting anything decent in the bay or under the back of the car. Plazmaman make some really nice heat exhangers, but they are a bit too pricey.

I know it's a bit soft but I was kind of keen to keep the a/c so that makes space at the front of the car very tight.
My current thinking is a large-ish radiator mounted flat above the gearbox with a blow through fan mounted underneath.
I have a supercharged engine cover to help fit all that in
I think I read somewhere that the air flow on adubs is from under the car, past the engine and out through the engine cover - given the shape of the car the area behind the rear window looks like it would be a low pressure area.
I would maybe need some sort of divider to separate the hot air from the turbo and manifold from the intercooler and radiator.
Actually, just had a thought - the Corolla I bought had a narrow but thick Koyorad radiator that took up just over half the width of the standard area. The turbo and wastegate sat in the empty space on the drivers side. If I could do a similar thing I could create a vacant space for the W2A heat exchanger.
Could maybe even use the radiator from the Corolla
Hmmm some serious conceptual thought is required......

i ran a/c when i 1st set up my w2a.  i converted a a2a core into my heat exchanger and it works very well.

No real progress on the Adub - stripping and selling bits off the Corolla wreck has eaten a few weekends but I am rolling again
I am converting the Corolla's E58 transmission from FWD to RWD configuration to use in the AW11.
To swap the selector from the back to the front of the box I need the shifter mech off an E51.
So I am hoping that somebody has an old E51 laying around and is willing to sell a few bits
Also need the E51 shifter cable bracket and gearbox mounts.
Is there any thing else I need to fit an e series box into an Adub

good luck. e51 bits and pieces are hard to come by.

When I got the email that my post had a response I was hoping that it would say -
"No worries Pete I have a box of E51 selectors that is cluttering up my workshop"
No such luck
It looks like there are a few people have converted E51s from RWD to FWD so hopefully I can find some one who has these bits lying around.
I have posted on the Toymods site as well so we'll see what happens.
If all else fails I can modify the C52 shifter to fit but I was trying to avoid immobilising a good C52.

There are plenty of c52s. May as well canibalise it.
Good idea going for the e series. Should be strong enough for your setup.
