Mak's AntiTank 200 Options

[Makarintosh]

Hi all!

New to the forum and decided to post up my wacky AT200. I only say wacky because it has an unconventional engine in it. A 4AFE as opposed to the 7AFE it should be. Other than that, pretty basic apart from the alloys. How much did it cost me? €700. With brand new NCT (vehicle road worthiness test)!

Here are some photos from when I first got it with some tiny mods a few months ago.





Of course, plenty to do, plenty of ideas yadi, yadi, yadi....

Main issues are time and money.

But I will keep on posting any updates I have with the car.

Sooooo haven't written anything on this in a long while!

Basically after over a year of more tinkering with the 4age, I had managed to finally get it running. I had gone though 2 sets of looms before I worked out how to do it better (not perfect). It started up and it was running lean I think as it kept backfiring, most likely the tining. At this point I think I still had wire gremlins. Being too new to this I called it and decided to try swap the engine for 3sge non beams. Found a fantastic gent who was looking for a BT for his AE101 and so we traded.

Setup I got was stock engine, s54 LSD box, loom ecu, full stock exhaust and think that's it.

Plugged it all up, plumbed in everything and started it. Runs perfect. Even drives on its own power.

There are a few bits and pieces which need attention like power steering pump to rack needs to be connected, fans kick in as soon as the key is turned to accessories, rack ends need replacing and abs light is on (hubs I have don't have abs sensor).

Besides that, wash and wiper blades, tax and road worthiness test and its good to go. Oh and insurance...

Will get a pic of what it looks like now soon.
