Supercar Showdown is back! After a very successful first year, which included overseas awards and recognition, 7mate are proud to announce that the Shannons Supercar Showdown is back for another action-packed season of motorsport! Last year’s winner, 17 year old Cameron Waters, became the youngest driver to ever attend the ‘Great Race’ AKA the Bathurst 1000. Waters piloted the Shannons Mars racing car with vigor, but sadly retired from the race. A great moment during the race was when Waters over steered heavily on exit, looping his V8 Supercar but managing to recover it with incredibly fast counter steering. Here’s a clip of the hairy moment. The pri…

I'm off to pick up the girl from Armidale tomorrow bright & early, and there are two ways to get around the bit of NSW with no roads in. One is Orange--> Northwest through Gulgong, maybe Duneedoo & Cassilis to Tamworth. Looks easy, although some roads may be bad if they're wet. Anyone been over those minor roads? The other is Orange--> Bathurst, North to Kandos then Muswellbrook & Tamworth. The road from Kandos north looks pretty spectacular, so I might go up one route and down the other. Anyone been on that bit from Kandos through Rylestone to Muswellbrook? Something you'd take a nice KE70 over this weekend? Its no life sticking on the man…

Hey everybody My name is Mark new to the forum, hoping to get a lot of information able my project.. I'm looking to get a ke70 to build up and either put a 4age red top, or hopefully a 3sge but only time will tell, so just wanted to introduce myself hopefully this is a good experience and a good learning curve for me. Cheers Guys

was thinking about getting something done... i can't decide waht i want without being sure I'm still gonna enjoy looking at it in 10 years.... suggestions? any of you got anything done? show us piks?

The subject of this thread could also be: "How to make a reasonably decent amount of money for very little time and effort". Firstly, find yourself a neglected (but not abused) ZZE122. This one came from a guy who lived in the rainforest and considers his car more of an appliance than a precious chariot of freedom or object of worship... Which is fine. It had never been washed, polished, or vacuumed. Ever. Thats 8 years worth of crap, mould, and other contaminants. I purchased as is where is for $3000. Gerni that shit. All of it. Everywhere. Engine bay. NEVER been degreased... But had been semi-regularly serviced. Don't be shy with t…

So i'm just wondering what's out there.. Because for every legit car part, I'm sure there's atleast 3 shonky knock off's and flogged off on ebay. So if you have any you know of that deserve to be here, Post them up. Okay this one made me cringe.. At first glance you can tell it's not legit, But take another look at those bolt holes :S

Not 48,000 k's, 48 ks. And not just your run of the mill AE86.... http://www.speedhunters.com/2011/08/Toyota_corolla_ae86_with_48_original_KMS_found_time_capsule_/

hey guys i seen a couple of weeks ago someone posted a ke70 rc car with a link in a thread but now i can't seem to find it and can only find the body on ebay for like 95$ just for the shell ? cheers guys

Reed posted a picture of these wheels a while ago and I'm wondering if anyone knows what they are?? I really like them. Yes, I'm talking about the wheels... :bash:

Seen this on another forum and thought it was pretty cool.. kills some time while I'm at work anyways I'll start off. Nothing. But I did finish wiring off my New loom, mounted the ls1 coil packs and the haltech last night, got bored and ripped my entire dash out because I didn't like the colour haha.

My rant. I'm sick of early classic corollas of the KE10 and 20 varieties particularly, being advertised as "would be great for drifting" Let's look at the validity of this statement... KE20 wheelbase is slightly longer than a KP60 Starlet... Are they good for drifting? No... They are very twitchy, due to the wheelbase being so short. Yes, I have seen one drift, and no, it wasn't cool. It looked bloody awful. In a motorsport where scoring is based on a particular style, an early corolla is a woeful choice. The first two generations of corollas are also extremely light in comparison to other more commonplace drift cars. While some may consider that to be an advanta…

My hoover board went missing on the 27th of this month. And i'm starting to wonder if it was this Marty McFly that took it :angrybird:

I was just thinking about the amount of corolla projects that start off with all these big plans and never get finished. I would think it would be at least 50% haha Discuss.....

as per the title. pm or txt me, with your name, please, if we had swapped numbers my number hasnt changed, replacement phone only thanks Zowie

So everyone knows Best Motoring is the best show around. So I think it deserves its own thread. Post links etc. Full episodes preferred (I guess, just hating finding all the parts) I'll start with two I liked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5ar0hm7-OM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4xFx_O7ux4 But beware you will lose many an hour looking at this thread

hey anybody else got rc cars on here i have a tamiya nitrage 5.4 cc that runs on 25% nitro mix and goes like a cut snake but last weekend i think i broke the clutch as it has locked up bad here are some pictures :fuzz:

Now, I'm not a believer in such superstition but I've been living in this house going on 4 years now and everyone that has ever lived here with me has encountered/heard shit that just isn't quite right, myself included but today's incident really takes the cake. A couple of my good friends used to live here with me and they all said that they heard weird shit and I know I was too, like we have these concrete stairs up to the front door and we would always hear footsteps coming up the stairs, open the door and theres no one there. Heard the taps and showers momentarily splurge water and not just like a leak or something, they legitimately sound like they've been turned…

Hey guys, Part of my uni course I need to talk to residential builders about different processes - such as timber selection for trusses, concrete mixtures, foundation types etc and get a letter or email from the person who is helping me stating they have done so. My issues is that I don't know anyone in the construction industry at all, and I work from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday full time. So I'm hoping maybe there is someone on here who could help me out from time to time? If you spare a couple of minutes, can you please PM me, or reply to this thread, I would extremely grateful. Thanks Tom.

Looking down at my keyboard this morning while purchasing something on ebay got me thinking. Do the English have a different keyboard on their computers? I notice how there is no "£" symbol on our keyboard, only the "$" sign.

So I took the advice and made a eye catching title!! So now I have your attention, can some one please tell me why it won't show me any pictures in the wiki/FAQ section, it's really frustrating Thanks

The plastic hang rings can look cool but why the absolute f*ck would you pay $67 for one and the auction isn't even over. The fact that it has illest and fatlace in the title means its a waste of money. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-JDM-Train-Handle-Hangring-Bosozoku-Fatlace-Illest-Cressida-KE70-Shakotan-/200750074916?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ebda30c24#ht_774wt_1143

We are Corolla owners and lovers for a reason. We can obviously see something in them most people can't. But apart from anything Corolla, and lets even exclude Toyota in general .... What car and why?

Hey guys, I propose we run a Rollaclub fishing competition! State vs State - Winner takes bragging rights! 2 x Comps each year - one weekend over a Summer & Winter period. So I was thinking we break it down into classes, and biggest fish, rarest fish and worst/ugliest fish! Class of fishing can be: Offshore, Estuary, River, Freshwater. To post a valid entry, you have to post a unedited photo taken by a digital camera to be able to view the "Exif" information All fishing licensing and regulations must be followed in that state. Would anyone be interested in competing? If you have any ideas on how to make the fishing competition more successful, …

so, i was on IMDB.com and looking at random stuff. came across this beauty, lol there are some real nice classics of that era found in the movie "Squadra-antitruffa" will have to check her out http://www.imcdb.org...antitruffa.html http://www.imcdb.org...antitruffa.html

putting it out there, as generally speaking, 'the bad' gets more attention in life. i wanted to say that in my short time on here, and the dealings i have had, both in buying/selling and just at meets, has been amazing..! can't say enough about it. after another deal just now with another R.C member, I felt it deserved a thread. we meet here due to our mutual love of the 'Rolla, and then realize we have so much more in common. i can relate to everyone i've dealt with, regardless of age. this is also a thankyou to the guys ive met, and the guys who created the club. ILU guys, seriously /salute

I have a trip to Europe coming up later this year & I'm currently searching around for a rental car. I briefly had an idea of going 'Top Gear USA style' & buying an AE82 FX-GT while I'm there, then reality kicked in. So, seeing as I know bugger-all about European local cars, I thought I'd turn it over to you guys/girls. Please keep in mind my overall budget is not massive, but I don't want to hire something that's worse to drive/slower than my 2AC powered AE80 as I have some pretty epic roads in mind. :wink: Options in my price range are: Fiat Panda 1.2 AC Puegot 107 VW Polo 2 door Opel Corsa 2 door Petrol or TD Audi A1 Alfa Romeo Giulietta VW Go…
